Many thanks all of you for information!
The "shape painter" is everything I was looking for.
Actually, regarding the operation I mentioned above in the thread, if I drag and drop a shape made with the region tools from the "mask" into the "layer" (http://goo.gl/2DNpcX), what seems to happen is the shape will become a vector shape! I mean, the this workaround I've been doing can be simplified by using the "shape painter" directly!
