You can enable/disable a stencil to paint without or through a stencil on a per stroke basis. The stencil is applied transiently, only the part of the strokes that pass through it are kept.
There are three stencil modes:
Stencil: | Result: |
---|---|
Matte Off | Default setting, no stencils are used. |
Use Layer | Strokes will be constrained by the matte inputted into the layer. |
Use Stroke | Forms a stencil from what is currently available in that layer. |
Invert | Inverts the stencil. |
