Doren Sorell Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Just like in Photoshop when one clicks on the backslash key (above Return/Enter) to go into a feature, when a Mask is selected, a semi-transparent red overlay gets put over the image and one can actually see/visualize the mask in a non black-and-white way, with that red overlay. I helps so much because one can actually see the image through the mask and can make minute changes with complete manual control just using the Brush Tool. I'd love to see this feature added. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted October 18, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 18, 2019 You will get this already if you hit Q will making a selection however this is more for refining a selection before you create a mask from it.

walt.farrell Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 As I mentioned in your question about this it already seems to be available if you right-click on the mask layer in the Layers Panel and choose Refine Mask. You get the red overlay, and you can paint on the mask with the adjustment brush that is activated to adjust the mask content. You commented over there that you think that dialog is about using AI to do the refinement, but that can be disabled in the dialog, and the painting would seem to satisfy your need.

Max P Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I hope I understand what' s you want.... First remenber In Photo a mask Alpha reflect only a transparency map, no absolutely a grey layer. Like Krita by example. A For emulate it 1 Put a pixel layer in mode overlay with rubis color , or Yellow-green, or any color 2 Pierce this layer, with an eraser brush, il you play with option of the brush, ( Flow ,...) you see it's easy and fine. 3 After right click, Mask to below (No rasterize to mask) 4 You can go back to the last step with Release mask B For invert the result Duplicate, Rasterize, Filters > apply image here Use current layer as source, choose RVB or Grey modify DA=1-SA => inverse the transparency Macro? OR Channel , Pixel Alpha right click Create mask Ctrl I C Do not forget possibilty select Alpha Range, select partially transparent, a Plus in Photo .
