It's faster if you create a 'Keyboard Shortcut' for masking though.

Another great tutorial! :-D Although I´ve got a few questions about the provess: Which "view-mode" do you choose to display your shapes without stroke and fill? (As seen on image 03.) Also, I have a hard time, when there are so many shapes and I have to choose the right ones to fuse or bunch. I mean, the more basic shapes you have (like circles), the more complicated it gets to know which circles were the two to fuse with... Are you just very concentrated at this step or do you have any tricks? In step 16 you mask the blue shape with the dither tiff. Can you give me a short desctiption how you do that? Thank you so much for your great tutorials! For me, as a vector-beginner you give me so many delightful moments reading them. Greets from Leipzig, Germany, Philipp Wow. Another great tutorial! :-D
