[Gimp-user] mask tutorial

[Helen]

I'm trying to learn about layer masks.
I'm probably missing something important, but seems to me
that one can get the same result with less effort by simply
erasing what one does not want in an image, and keeping
what is left.
Or is there something different achieved by masking?
Thanks,
Helen, using Gimp 2.2.10 on SuSE
