Mask behaves wrong on group

[Rumpelstilzchen]

Hi everyone,

This is the original image:

 

This is the mask:

 

I applied the mask on a colour layer:

 

When I put the colour layer into a group and apply the mask to the group, it looks ugly:

 

I very often works with mask on group, because I use several adjustment and colour layers for the same mask.

In order to be able to work in Photo, it's utmost important, that this bug will be removed as soon as possible, please!

This sound like a familiar bug logged (?) in the past.

Change the blend mode on the Group layer from Passthrough to Normal

(or create the group but add the mask to the fill layer in the group not to the group itself)

Hi both,

it is indeed a known issue and logged.

carl123 & Gabe:

Thank you so much! Indeed, to change the group layer to Normal is the solution. I'm really glad. You helped me a lot.
