All right.
Welcome back.
So in this lecture, we'll talk about how to flatten all masks.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to create a new layer in our scripts, one duppy SD, and I'm going
to click on this little icon here that says add layer mask.
And then let's make another layer and do the same thing.
And then we're going to one more of those two so I can give you a visual aid of what what's gonna be
going on here when I do this script.
So I'm going to go to file.
We're going to have scripts and we're in click on Flatten All Masks.
So watch how the I want you to watch this area right here.
After we click this.
OK.
So you see what happened to all the little links?
The chains went away.
And so if you were to mask this, which we didn't do, but if you did, that would show up here.
And the little links will go away because you won't be able to edit this.
Now, if I had control ze.
A double click this we can enter and select the mask.
So once you flatten that, you don't have that ability to edit the mask.
So let's do that again, file scripts and then.
No masks.
So basically, it just takes away the ability to edit your mask.
So let's save it.
And now we have a three layer masks and we have one layer with our effects.
So it's similar to what I was talking about in the previous lecture when we flatten all the layer effects.
Once you flatten it, there's no going back to edit once you flattened it.
OK.
That's why I recommend having two files for that.
Have a flattened PTSD and then a regular PTSD.
That way, if you need to edit it, you don't have to redo everything.
Imagine doing masks, multiple masks, layer masks, and then you're like, oh, wait, I forgot to
edit this or I want to change the mask somewhere else and I can't because I flat in the mask.
So just something to think about.
Thanks for watching us in the next lecture.
