So normally when you would paint, I can make a paint layer here, and then this would be actually I'm painting. But now if I'm like, oh, I don't like that, it's just a paint layer. So it's flat; I can't really do anything with that. But with something like this, you drop down a fill layer, add a mask, and now I'm actually doing all the work through a mask. So this paint layer is actually just flooding this with white, but the mask is actually driving where stuff can show up. So I have this, but then I can come in here, add a paint layer, drop that down, switch this to multiply. And because it's multiplying on nothing, it doesn't show up, but now I can start to bring in: no, I just want it to show up in these areas. And it's all about, like I said, non-destructive. So you can do so many things just back and forth with this. Like, oh, I don't like this paint layer, I can switch this on top and see what kind of results I get.
