Hi and welcome @Dennard
Look at your history, it seems that at some point you moved the mask and now it's not aligned with the background.
(and perhaps you deleted part of the image, but without the Layer panel in view, it's difficult to know).

Hi,
When working with masks, it's handy to be able to invert the colours using simply the shortcut ctrl+i.
It would be consistent with AP, even if the Pixel persona can't provide all the tools we have in AP. And switching to AP to invert a selection on a mask seems a little bit too much

This version crashes when clicking on the thumbnail of a layer.

At least, it's creating dump and recovery files.

I cannot find a unicode character that mimics InDesign's "Nonbreaking Space (Fixed Width)" character. When I copy that character from InDesign and paste it into a unicode identifier, it identifies it as "U+202F : NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE [NNBSP]". Publisher renders it narrow, as I think was the intention.
I read somewhere (can't remember where, uit's long ago), that QXD and inDesign needed to use existing charachers and add them different attributes or uses, depending of the need and the fact that they exist only in advanced typography, not common usage, and sometimes don't even exist in the fonts.
The article compared the two different approaches and implementations for those specials characters,.

Perhaps an application parameter could be implemented?
It was different, perhaps this modification is an error.
The ability to set those colours for the app, and not at document level would be nice.

Hi,
The margin used to be magenta, to distinguish it from guides. Now it's the same colour, why???
Needing to modify the colour each time I create a document isn't useful.

There are so many user cases when it's useful. Specifications came in various ways for different works, and such feature would be nice.
Today, we export for print, for web, and various images or/of selected pages to introduce or promote in adds or on the web. What can feel or look cluttered in a panel for a beginer can be a real time saver for experienced users. -
Being able to select the export resolution, in the Export panel of all the apps, and in the Export persona would be usefull.
No need to do tests or calculate the new pixel size of the export to enter the result in the size fields.
Or to export at same size, and resize the resulting image later.In ID, you can select the PPP when exporting, and it's useful when exporting book/magazine covers for different usages, no need to resize the whole document before each export.
Pixel size is usefull when asked for a specified one, but it's not aways needed. -

Hi,
Being able to change colour for guide would be useful in different cases (same colour in background), but also when needing to colour some specific guides, for example to display golden proportions, or other mesurements on master pages.
-
It would be useful to select different guides and be able to copy-paste them on other pages and master pages.
-
Hi,
Since it's impossible to copy-paste existing guides to another page/master pages:
-
I tried applying them to a blank Master Page (MP)
- When applying this MP to pages, guides are visibles (OK)
-
I applied this "guides" MP to other MP: guides are visibles (OK)
- When applying those other MP to pages, guides aren't visible (bad)
- When applying the other MP to pages + MP with guides, guides are visible (bad, since the layer panel show 2 applications of the "guides" MP)
Guides should stay visible, since they're not useful only when working o master pages.

Both MP differ totally, so it is faster to add the guides again to the MP missing.
I was afraid of this
I thought of another solution, like having a blank Master Page on which you add the guides, and to apply it to the other Master Pages.
It's perfect once applied to the other Master Pages, but the guides disappear once applied to pages. I'll report it as a bug. -

Hi @Roland Rick,
That's not possible, nor is possible to colour differently some guides to distinguish them.
But If you duplicate your master page, it'll keep the guides, and you'll be able to delete the frames and replace them by the ones of your master page without guides.

Hi and welcome @ia.graphic.solutions
If you means where are the Pantone's palettes, you need to look at the swatches palette.

Hi @EEvgeniy and welcome,
In this case, usually for books' covers, we create a second and separate file. It permits to add flaps, or huge bleed area or spine.

Here an example where you only need to modify the year and remove/add a day to get the next year.
Monthes are made of lists, that prevent using half-master pages (the hidden half is a problem, since the numbered lists keep on growing with the hidden frames), instead, suffice to modify the text style to begin the next month.

Hi @nedambler,
In fact, it's the same colour, but since the top background is lighter than the bottom, you're having an optical illusion, and the colour seems different.

If you closed the file, unless you shoose the option to save the history (but it gives larger files), you loose the history.
The only option now, is to try to get the selection from the transparent part of this image, create a new mask, and paste this mask in a complete version of your image, and try to put it at the right position.
