Amdival Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I've created a mask by dragging a placed photo inside of a rectangle in the layers panel. How can I edit the shape of the mask now? I can easily edit the size, scale, rotation of the masked photo, but how do I edit the mask? There's no obvious/intuitive way of editing the mask. How do I rotate it independent of the photo? How do I select individual nodes to move? If the mask is a rectangle that I need to be wider, how do I edit it to be wider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Select the rectangle in the Layers panel and you should be able to do what you want. Use the move tool, if you want to use nodes you'll have to first convert the rectangle to a Curve.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amdival Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Awesome, thanks! Convert to curve was key! This was driving me mad! To get around it I was moving the photo out of the mask, editing the mask, then moving the photo back inside the mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
