select the brush you are going to use and open the characteristics window for the brush and at the bottom left, where it says 'reset' go
ahead and reset the brush and see what happens

I have the same problem as described by Kilzen. I've tried it in many ways but I can't get it done.
If I have selected the mask, I cannot work with the brush tool on the mask. The colors are on black and white. But no matter what I try, nothing happens. I also have version 1.8.3.641. And a PC with Windows 10 Home edition.
I hope someone can help me because I really can't work with Affinity Photo this way. For me, Masking is a very essential part of this program. !!as you can see, you can 'paint' on the mask and it revelas the modified image underneath, the one with the BW conversion.

Use the basic brush, set opacity, flow and hardness to 100% and then select the mask layer and paint on it and see if it works for you
I reinstalled the software and it still failed but if i select the mask layer and invert it and then reinvert it , it seemed to get things going.

Are you running this on windows 10? I cannot get any of this to work at all, selecting and paint brushing on the mask does absolutely nothing

I have now uninstalled the Daub watercolor brushes thinking that was the issue, but it was not, masking is still not working, while it does work on the Beta release. Interestingly, the 'erase' brush still
functions as a 'mask' function by using it to reveal the layer underneath the layer being 'erased'

The prior beta (1.8.4.647) would not install on Windows 7.
The new/current beta (1.8.4.650) should install just fine on Windows 7. If it doesn't you should report that in the beta forum.
you are correct, I am now installing the 650 Beta and it works fine including the masking function which does not work in the paid release 1.8.3.641 Affinity Photo

Serif did indeed change something that didn't work well with Windows 7 (installing) in the latest releases (betas or latest release) - interesting side effect though.
Yes, indeed, I had that issue being unable to install the Beta on a Windows 7 machine but it installed fine on the Win 10 Pro box. Im sure all this will be worked out, I love my Win 7 box and do not really want
to switch over although I have a win 10 box for other reasons...

No, its not a problem with black/white as I select with brush. I also toggled them with the 'x' key but not getting the mask to work when I paint. I am using a Win 7 Pro machine when it fails, when I use the Win 10 Pro machine the software works just fine and the mask executes properly. Its interesting since the new Beta will not install on the Win 7 but installs and works fine on the Wndows 10 machine. It may be a compile problem on their end...thanks for your input

Crap....just ran it on the Windows 10 machine and it executes perfectly in both the Beta and the Affinity Photo latest user release... go figure
-
Sorry. It was the Release not the beta. it is 1.8.3.641 Affinity Photo release which is not working. let me create an aphoto using a simple image, duplicated and maskedand I will attach here. I can make 'masking' work by using the 'erase' brush but cannot for the life of me get it to work using the 'brush'

OK - so everyone with a problem is on Windows 7? We didn't intentionally break Windows 7 (despite it being out of support), so we'll look at what we changed (the 1.8.4 installers have more logging in them to help diagnose problems, so chances are we used a function that isn't available in Windows 7).

Yes, this is a known problem with the current 1.8.4 betas.
thank you... laz
will they have a fix or simply place a new version up for download?

See graphic below. Beta 1.8.4 fails to install on a Windows 7 machine
which has been running Afinity software without a hitch

None of the 'workarounds' seem to work at all for me. I have had to create individual masks for each adjustment in order to make them work, as gouping them
and then duplicating the mask and assigning the duplicate to each adjustment fails to preserve the adjustment. Waiting for a fix. Thank you

I had the same issue when watching the video, once I 'grouped' things together I could not select only the mask in order to 'paint' the eyes on it and get it to work
I eventually gave up and figured they were using an older version of Affinity and it has been modified from what the video shows. I was abble to load in an image, duplicate it, then select the bottom
image and alter it, then go back to the top image and create a mask and paint with the brush to reveal the changes I made to the image below,. let me know if you need a video and I will make
a simple video I can upload. I know how frustrating this can be but watch the Ritson videos and stay away from the Youtube stuff until you master the basics.
