- 
-==== Complex Masks ==== 
- 
-  * Masks in Version 9 also have another property which enables complex masks to be generated from a mixture of black and white objects: the ability to switch the "Alpha Channel" on and off.   
-  * Here is an example using two black rectangles with a white centre rectangle. Remember "white reveals" and "black conceals".. 
- 
-{{:en-us:9.0:how_to_v9:v9-mask009.jpg|}} 
- 
-  * These two rectangles can be used to generate a composite mask 
-  * The two rectangles are now used as mask stencils in a user-defined Blank Mask  
-  * Rectangle 2 is above Rectangle 1  
-  * For Rectangle 2, if "Convert to Alpha Image" is ON, then the black area where Rectangle 2 overlaps Rectangle 1 becomes transparent 
- 
-  * Convert to Alpha image is ON For Rectangle 2 
- 
-{{:en-us:9.0:how_to_v9:v9-mask010.jpg|}} 
- 
-  * In the next example, "Convert to Alpha Image" is OFF for Rectangle 2 and the black area blocks out the area where it overlaps Rectangle 1 
- 
-{{:en-us:9.0:how_to_v9:v9-mask011.jpg|}} 
- 
-  * More complex masks are possible using this technique and an example is shown below
