rainfall_bluez Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 When using masks, my paint brush tool won't work to reveal / conceal. Instead, only the color replacement brush tool will reveal or conceal: 1. I've uninstalled - reinstalled the software (1.9.1); 2. "Protect Alpha" is off; 3. Opacity and Flow set to 100%. Question: in 1.9.1, shouldn't I still be able to use the paint brush tool when revealing / concealing on layer masks, or did this change? Quote

walt.farrell Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 What brush are you using? Perhaps you need to open the Brushes panel and select a brush from the Basic category?

Old Bruce Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I have been bit by the following several times. Do you have a selection made somewhere? Hit the deselect all command and try painting again.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

rainfall_bluez Posted March 12, 2021 Author Posted March 12, 2021 Hello. I appreciate your responses. 1. My paint brush tool [still] isn't working with masks to conceal / reveal. a. "Protect Alpha" is off. b. Brush colors set to black and white, to conceal / reveal. c. Opacity & Flow both at 100% d. Am using a brush from the "basic" category. e. Installed beta hasn't helped. f. No items are selected. Have "deselected" just to be sure. System: Windows 10. Note: This problem only started when I downloaded 1.9.1 Quote
