I want to save the apparent result, what is seen onscreen and not the two separate pictures in one picture file (basically a jpeg at best quality, but using whatever Quicktime does would be preferable). It is not saving the pic and the mask either separately or joined, it is saving the "mixing result" of what the canvas puts on screen.

Oh, well then that's easy. Simply make a picture, fill the background with whatever you want the background to be (i.e., what will be mixed with the picture), draw your masked picture into this, and then pass it to FolderItem.SaveAsPicture or SaveAsJPEG or whatever.

Best,
