    Hi guys,

    When you start masking something you mask it but then theres a gap how can I mask that too?

    A gasp like in the middle? thanks.

    Not sure i understand you correctly,
    but probably you are referring to “feathering”
    This lets your mask gradually fades in without a
    distinct sharp border.

    Imagine theres a picture of a man wiht a colored background, now I mask the sillouete of the man and everything is great, but now how do I mask the bits like the gap under the arms man that still shows that colored background?. Better?

    That is a touch one for masking….a method of chroma Keying
    is more suited for those kinds of tasks.
    Have you tried keying?

    If you are using the Vegas mask tool in Pan/Crop to do the masking just create another set of mask points within the original mask and set the Mode to Negative. This will cut a hole in the mask.
