Picture film inside a mask layer

The manual described film in a mask layer (6b99f67) with no picture of
it, and the paragraph named the control `Print exposure` where the
panel says `Print Exposure`.

A new scene, film_local, sets Kodak Ektar 100 on an upright alpine
frame — a negative, so it is printed and has a print exposure — then
adds a linear gradient, turns it by its rotate handle to fall from the
top, moves it onto the sky, shows the mask as its edge so the print
stays visible, and raises the layer's Print Exposure to burn the sky
in. Done Masking, then Before held. It puts the masks back to Tint
before undoing, as the other scenes expect.

The picture follows the film list's, under the paragraph it
illustrates. The bundled manual is regenerated to match.
