remask

Put on anew

To remask is to apply a mask again, whether literally or figuratively.

In everyday use, someone remasks after removing a face covering: She remasked before entering the store.

In technical contexts—photo editing, video production, data processing—to remask is to redefine which areas are selected, hidden, or protected: I had to remask the background after adjusting the lighting.
