You are not giving a lot of detail, but applying a mask to a pixman
image, and then storing the result in some other image can be done like
this:

    pixman_image_composite32 (PIXMAN_OP_SRC, source, mask, destination,
                              0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, width, height);

where source is the source image, mask is the soft-mask you want to use,
and destination is the image where you want to store the result.

If DeviceGray is an 8-bit alpha mask, you will want to use PIXMAN_a8 as
the format.
