Reveal Tool
The reveal tool has no color, it works only with the red mask and sets
opacity on masked areas.
The reveal tool can produce very nice effects: To try it, with the
context menu click "Deselect", "Show Inside Selection" - this will mask
entirely the image - and start applying the tool.
 'Reveal'
is the inverse from 'Erase with mask'
