trevorc Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I think I have my dunces hat on so please be kind. Open a picture Select live filters Gausian Blur, Apply blur to whole picture Select mask, paint brush set to black to hide the effect of the blur on central subject. Start painting nothing happens. I am sure I have done this successfully before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Your procedure is correct so just check the brush being used and the settings for it in the context toolbar - specifically ensure Protect Alpha is off Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevorc Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 It sounds so ridiculously easy but I can't see what I am doing wrong, here's my screen, paint and nothing shows on image or on layer mask icon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
