I'm looking for a way to basically mark a specific area where, if i'm painting/smudging/blurring/etc, it won't be affected.

For example, say I am trying to add color to sharp edges, I could use this tool to mark outside of the edge, so I can be more "reckless" with the brush. When the marks are removed, the color/smudge/etc hasn't affected the area under the mark.

I'm very sorry if this doesn't answer the question you asked, but what I always do when I need to do this stuff is:


Select the area I don't want to mark on
Select > Invert Selection


From there I can just paint and it doesn't affect the area I had selected!
This method works very well with painting, blurring and smudging!
