Question about using images with alpha to sculpt details

Hello all,

I am modeling a persian bow and arrow. And on this bow there is going to be a lot of pattern detail. What I did was take screen shots of my model and went into photoshop and created the texture in black and white with an alpha. I bring it back into mudbox and into my stencils where I line it up. Then  I select my sculpt brush and it works a little but it is not using the alpha very well. It sculpts the whole area instead of just the details areas. Any help on this would be real usefull!!!

You need to mask off the outside area too. Or simply freeze it roughly. At the moment the edges of the bow are sculpted as they're not covered by the opaque part of the stencil.
