The mask is allowing only the subject we surrounded with the selection to appear in the top layer. The
image looks unchanged at this point because we can see through to the background. When we make
changes to the background, we will still see the subject in the top layer, overlaying our changes.
Paint Shop Pro provides many powerful built-in filters that can produce a wide variety of effects. Your
teacher recommends you try as many of the options available under the Effects and Color menus as
possible. For example, changing the background could be as simple as increasing or decreasing color
saturation a lot, changing to negative colors, or greatly blurring or sharpening the image. Some fancier
effects can be found in the Artistic, Geometric, Reflection and Texture filters in the Effects menu. Let’s
look at some examples:

wish to clone, known as setting the clone source. Then move to the area to where you want the cloned
pixels to go, known as the clone target, and hold down the LEFT mouse button on that spot while
dragging to paint the clone. Let's try a cloning exercise to help understand this tool.
