I believe your boast sounds vaguely familiar.

Why is using a mask better than..just using an eraser to erase what you dont want showing?

The main reason is that masks are non-destructive, so if you mask something out and then change your mind later, you can just mask it back in. But if you *erase* something and then close the file, whatever you erased is gone forever. I started using masks for everything several years ago, and I'd say that since then it saves me at least 2-3 hours a week that used to be spent redoing fuckups.
