+black pixels in the mask are inside, green outside. +Likewise, the brush +consists of a pair of rectangular image and mask planes. +There are 11 effective operations to combine the part of the brush +inside its mask +with the part of the picture it sits on (see +the Porter/Duff paper for details);
