If you have sharp edges, masking would be good. For fuzzy ones, it would probably look better with no masking.

Either way, consistency is important. Don't mask just parts of it.

For minis, extremely important. Unmasked portraits look really bad in battles in nebulae systems, storms, etc., as they have weird boxes around all ships...

You can get the style tester from the Gold CD or from malfador. Place it in your races folder and then test them.

This is one of the best ways to do it. ALTHOUGH do not leave it in the folder when you zip it for uploading. The style tester is a large file.
