Introduction
In this tutorial we will learn how to use masking in various creations. Masking in the Incredible InGrid app blends the target, in this case, text with the background image. It is a way to create interesting patterns or textures within the target text.
Let us examine how to use masking.

- Select the camera roll icon and find an image.
- Tap and hold your finger on the image until it take up the entire background.
- Next select the text tool located under the drawing options icon.
Type in your text and tap OK. - Change the text to white using the stroke tool so we can see the text.
You can change the font by tapping on the font styles tool
and resize it using the font resize tool 
under the text options icon. - Press the select tool icon
and select your text. Move your text to an area where you would like to the masking effect to take place. - Click on the masking tool
within the select tool options. As you can see, the text has blended with the background. - Select a skin so we can see the effect. As you can see, the text now has part of the image masked into it.
