# Modifying Masks

You can change the rotation and size of masks just like you would any other element. You can even use pegs to change masks dynamically throughout the scene.

However, if you just want to reposition a mask, it can be a little bit tricky. In the following example, the clip image fills the mask. If you try to move the mask as it is set up now, Toon Boom Studio will move the clip. To move the mask, you must hide the clip.

To move a mask:

1. Use the Show/Hide buttons in the element list to hide the clip layer.

2. Use the Select tool to move the mask.

3. Show the clip layer so that you can see the layers beneath the mask.

| Here’s a tip that also helps with the selection and modification of masks. Add a peg and move it just outside of the mask’s area. Attach the mask to the peg. Use the circle that represents the peg as a handle for moving the mask.
