ok – I am trying to create a unifying theory on this so that I can understand these tools once and for all. The way I understand it is the masking tools such as the paint brush, quick mask mode, painting with black and white to add or take away transparency etc ONLY work on LAYER MASKS which are PIXEL based. you can however convert them to paths to apply them to LAYER SHAPES. Layer shapes and vector masks are THE SAME THING. WHen you create a layer shape it creates a vector mask. you edit layer masks with the selection tools, you edit layer shapes with the layer shape tools, HOWEVER you can convert PATHS to SELECTIONS and SELECTIONS to PATHS. the selection tools used on layer masks must be applied with the FILL command i.e ALT BACKSPACE. the layer shape tools apply themselves immediately depending on the mode of the tool i.e ADD, SUBTRACT and so forth. Layer masks and it’s corresponding selection tools are primarily (not exclusively)used for editing EXISTING images i.e photos, graphics and so forth. Layer shapes and it’s corresponding PATH TOOLS are used for CREATING graphics etc. so if I wanted to put then number ten over an existing photo I would edit the photo using a LAYER MASK and the SELECTION TOOLS and create the number ten using a LAYER SHAPE and it’s corresponding PATH tools. I hope I have this more or less straight.
