§ 16.96.7 - Image and Mask Exchange Script Commands

In the context of a script, it is often very useful to be able to convert from action images to masks and vice-versa. Masks are always the same size as the action image, which makes this work very well without requiring scaling or other non-exact procedures.

Since F/x maintains separate image and mask stacks as described on the previous two pages, the natural place for a script to do this is using those stacks. The following commands provide a powerful set of tools for tasks that utilize masks and images in multiple roles.

PUSHIAM (Mnemonic: Push Image As Mask)

This pushes the current image as a mask onto the mask stack. White is 100% selected, black is not selected. Values in between black and white represent partially selected pixels.

PUSHMAI (Mnemonic: Push Mask As Image)

This pushes the current mask as an image, to the image stack. 100% selected comes out as white, not selected comes out as black. Values in between black and white represent partially selected pixels.

POPMAI and PULLMAI (Mnemonic: Pull Mask as Image)

This pulls the from the mask stack to the current image. 100% selected comes out as white, not selected comes out as black. Values in between black and white represent partially selected pixels.
