Filling and stroking masks

You can add a fill and stroke to a mask by setting these attributes using either the toolbox or the Color palette. (See Applying color using the toolbox and Using the Color palette.)

To apply a fill and stroke to a mask:

1. With the direct-selection tool, select the mask you want to fill or stroke.
2. Use the Fill selection box or the Stroke selection box in the toolbox or Color palette to choose the mask's fill or stroke. If the Color palette is not visible, choose Window > Color.
3. Choose a fill color or stroke color for the mask.

The fill is drawn below the clipped objects, and the stroke is drawn on top.
