About Masks

Masks can be used to control how the puzzle grid will be filled and how it will display when printed. Use masks to create shaped puzzles, colored puzzles, and define where words and noise can be placed.

When in Mask mode the Mask Tool Area will be displayed. Review these tools to learn how to paint on your mask.

When you are done creating your mask you can optionally Save the mask so it can be loaded and used with other puzzles, or you may simply use it in your current puzzle. Masks are saved with the current puzzle when it is saved.

Masks can also be imported from an existing BMP graphic file. See the section on the Mask Import Utility for more details.
