Thanks Paul,

but i know how to use a masks or other things. I meant not the adjustment layer (it doesn’t work too with the mask) but a pixel layer with a filter.

But i see in this video, that my application looks different. It’s very strange.

Can be, that my app didn’t update?

@Andre Voran Can you expand on what you're trying to do with a mask and in what way does the UI look differently. The current version of the app is 1.8.3 if you aren't running this version check the App Store for available updates.

I would recommend anyone who has used Photoshop, to try and forget everything you know and watch all the official Serif tutorial videos. This is because the workflow is different with Affinity and trying to duplicate what you had to do in PS will result in a lot of frustration.

The video is of an earlier version, but as Lee mentions, need to know what you are trying to do. Be aware with Affinity all adjustments already have a mask built into them which is different from other softwares.
