Check your speedMask-R-Aid is a tool for creating application and document icon masks. An icon consists of an icon image and a mask that tells the system how to render the transparency of the icon. Normally the icon image is rendered with no transparency for most of the icon image (the interior pixels). Transparency comes into play when you want to do shadows or use a photo-realistic icon.
Mask-R-Aid is useful for creating masks in general, but is Mask-R-AId is especially useful when creating photo-realistic icons. The problem with a photo-realistic icon is if you do not set the proper grayscale values for the edge pixels of the icon, you will see jagged edges. The problem with setting the grayscale pixels is that it is a tedious and error prone process. Mask-R-Aid makes this process hassle free.
