eobet Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Pasting an image into a quick mask, is a very quick way to generate a complex selection in Photoshop. This doesn't seem to work in Affinity. Why not? What is the current workaround? Jowday 1 Quote
Old Bruce Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Rather than trying to use the quick mask you could go to the channels panel and choose a channel then right click and load it into the selection section. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Ok, so that's a workaround, but it's not quick. Anyone have a quicker option? (I'm talking Q, Ctrl-V, Q kind of quick...) Quote
Staff DWright Posted February 5, 2020 Staff Posted February 5, 2020 If you make a mask layer from your selection you can then place your photo and move the mask layer as a child of the photo Quote

I only see "mask to below" and that produces a weird result: Top sublayer with the crop symbol in it is "mask to below", and bottom layer with the grey blob symbol in it is an imported photoshop mask. I'm still struggling with this. It's nowhere near as easy or quick as in Photoshop. Jowday 1 Quote
kwayde Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 I'm struggling with this as well. Can someone please provide a video tutorial showing us how to do this? Quote
Wosven Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 Select the part of the image you want to use as mask, a do a copy (ctr+j). Righ click on this layer and choose: Rasterize to mask. Depending of the result you want, you'll invert the selection and invert the colour if needed (ctrl+i). Quote

I guess that will be alt-ctrl click for Windows. Quote
