It is essentially the same a .BMP file. To create one:

- Open YourFile.BMP file in Paintbrush
- Change the color of all white areas to black
- Save AS YourFile.MSK (note that paintbrush will name the file YourFile.MSK.BMP)
- Go to Explorer and rename the file to YourFile.MSK.

Then, make sure you include the .msk file with your project.
