Svetlana777 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Can you help me, please. What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to add color overlay mask to outline layer. But it doesn't work. If I add red color overlay directly to the layer it works: But But when I use mask nothing happens. More over when I paint using white or black brush on the mask nothing happens too.

v_kyr Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 What happens if you alter the Opacity for the mask from 9% to 100% instead?

v_kyr Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Try a black/white or graytone color. - Test if the masks recognizes something at all for your outline when you draw with a brush (black/white/gray) on it.

Nothing happens. Absolutely.:( If I create a simple mask without color overlay it recognizes black and white.Works the way mask should. But when I add color overlay it stops working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepr Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 @Svetlana777: a Mask object is a layer of alpha-only pixels and it is used to modulate the opacity of another object(s), so I'm not sure of your intention when applying a colour overlay effect to a mask. Are you trying to mask the colour overlay so that the overlay does not uniformly affect the layer named "outline"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to apply overlay partially on “outline” layer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to apply overlay partially on “outline” layer I wouldn't use an overlay effect in that case. Instead clip-nest a coloured vector Rectangle inside the Pixel object named "outline", which will produce the same result as an overlay effect, and then apply a Mask to the Rectangle object. masked overlay.afphoto Svetlana777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
