6. In the Properties panel, open the View menu and click the On White option.
The different types of preview change the way your image
appears while you refine the edges within the workspace.
• Onion Skin, the default, shows unselected (masked)
areas as semi-transparent, based on the value in the
Transparency slider. You can make the masked areas
more or less transparent by increasing or decreasing
(respectively) the Transparency value.
• Marching Ants shows the basic standard selection.
• Overlay shows the unselected areas with a Quick
Mask overlay.
• On Black shows the selection in color against a black
background.
• On White shows the selection in color against a white background.
• Black & White shows the selected area in white and the unselected area in black.
• On Layers shows only the selected area. Unselected areas are hidden so that
underlying layers are visible in masked areas in the preview.
7. In the Properties panel, change the Opacity slider to 100%.
Using the default setting, the masked areas appear at 50% opacity in the Select and
Mask workspace. By changing this setting to 100%, masked pixels are entirely hidden
by the white area.
