I can not get affinity photo to brush in a mask or remove a mask by using the brush tool.

type -> b (for brush) or (select brush/paint brush tool)  select white or black.  Neither one works.

Mask color is set to greyscale, or RGB.   Mask is all white or all black.

I can draw colors, white or black on a non-layered image, but can not paint with white or black on a layer.

The only thing that works is to use the erase tool to paint with black or to use  the paint mixer brush to paint with white.

 

I tried resetting to factory defaults.  That didn't work.

 

I am on a Mac using the version from the App Store.

help please.

Hi @tiguanis,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble, could you please provide a screen recording showing the steps you're taking to add a mask to an image, then attempting to paint within the mask?

I can confirm that any areas of the mask painted in Black should be masked out, and any areas left in White will remain.

If you're unsure how to take a screen recording, please check out our FAQ linked below - 

Many thanks in advance!

You can see in the video, protect alpha is on. 

The video shows hardness at 0%, but switching to 100% makes no different.

I can also use the pixel brush tool, but it looks too pixelie to use.

Looks like a serious bug, or some corruption in the file settings.

Any help is appreciated.
