Choosing the protected area of a selection

The drawing mode determines whether the inside or the outside of a selection is protected when you paint.

To specify the protected area of a selection

Choose Window

Navigator.

Click the Open Navigator Settings button

, choose Drawing Mode, and then choose one of the following options:

•

Draw Anywhere — disables protection by the selection. Brushstrokes are allowed anywhere on the canvas. The selection is active only for applying effects and using the Cut or Copy command.

•

Draw Outside — protects the area inside the selection

•

Draw Inside — protects the area outside selection. This drawing mode is similar to using a stencil in that only the selected region accepts brushstrokes.
