smadell Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 click on the mask’s thumbnail so that only the mask layer is selected, then hit the Delete key. ps - make sire nothing is selected when you hit delete, or AP will try to delete only what’s inside the marching ants, not the entire layer Old Bruce and kat 1 1 Quote Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Publisher 2, Affinity Designer 2 (latest retail versions) - desktop & iPad Culling - FastRawViewer; Raw Developer - Capture One Pro; Asset Management - Photo Supreme Mac Studio with M2 Max (2023}; 64 GB RAM; macOS 13 (Ventura); Mac Studio Display - iPad Air 4th Gen; iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smadell Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Glad you got it sorted out. Masks took me years to wrap my head around - just the concept was hard to figure out, let alone the implementation! kat 1 Quote Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Publisher 2, Affinity Designer 2 (latest retail versions) - desktop & iPad Culling - FastRawViewer; Raw Developer - Capture One Pro; Asset Management - Photo Supreme Mac Studio with M2 Max (2023}; 64 GB RAM; macOS 13 (Ventura); Mac Studio Display - iPad Air 4th Gen; iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Mostly it was getting my brush to delete easier. Most brushes require going over and over and over to delete on mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on the type of brush and the settings for opacity,flow and hardness in the context toolbar.

kat Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 How do I select just the mask so I can see just the mask? In PSD I could shift, or opt the mask to show just the mask. On the thumbnail I can see what speckles in the background. Select mask and painting over area gets me no where. Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Try using the Channels panel.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted March 2, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 2, 2020 On Mac is alt+click (over the thumbnail's mask) as well. kat and walt.farrell 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Couldn't get it to composite with mask so I could work on mask and see image. So I applied mask and will deal with it that way. Tried channels, lost cause. Back to youtube for masking. On the other hand using mixer brush and frequency sep work. And liquefy let me twirl mustache, so I'm making progress.

kat Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 This is good. Maybe if I watch another 5x I'll have a sense of masking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUIJvbBaWjY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, my wife's 2015 iMac came with the model A1644 Magic Keyboard, the same one shown in this YouTube video. It it marked "option" in large letters along the bottom of the keycap, with "alt" in smaller letters above that. Later models replaced "alt" with the ⌥ symbol.
