Spryg Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Hi. New to Affinity Photo. I've watched 2 tutorials on applying basic masks. Unlike in tutorials, clicking on the add mask icon adds a mask above the target layer (not a child of, below). I've tried moving it, but I can not get it to work at all. I used to do a lot of masking in Photoshop, so I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong here in Affinity. I've looked to reset settings to their default without success. This should be pretty basic, so if someone could give me a nudge in the proper direction I'd be very appreciative. My version of Affinity Photo is 1.8.2 and I'm working on Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6. Thank you kindly in advance. Quote
walt.farrell Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. From the menu, View > Assistant Manager... and then check what setting you have for adding a mask (see below): Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Spryg Posted March 30, 2020 Author Posted March 30, 2020 Excellent. I had to Enable the assistant and that seems to have fixed the issue! Genius! Thank you so very much for your help! Quote
