Hi,
I have two quetions about the Selection function/process

I'm trying to figure out how to configure a brush that affects only the alpha channel and acts as an alpha channel eraser, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Any suggestions?

I understand what depth masking does, but I'm still foggy on how the different settings for depth masking work. How does source brush differ from brush coverage? What's the difference between source blend and source brush?
Actually as I write thi

Anyone have a good definition of what the path brush is? I've been doing some experiments with Paint Fill Setup on a brush that's been reinitialized to get a better visual concept of what it does and I'm a little stumped.

Hey guys,
I'm finding my encounters with manually creating selections unsatisfactory. Particularly try to draw them in using the lasso tool. I normally use either the source or source texture to start the selection and then switch to the lasso to clean up bu
