Darko290 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 While using Studio Link, if I add a mask layer and then try to remove the content with black color, it keeps a dissolved shape of the object or text or whatever I applied to the mask. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Welcome to the forums @Darko290, I'm just guessing here, try changing the Blend mode, on your Mask. It shows to be set to Darken.

Darko290 Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Thanks for the welcome Changing the blend mode doesn't work. It's in Darken in the ss because I've tried to change the blend mode but, I get the same result with every option (and I forgot to change the blend mode). Thanks for the support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 First check the brush you are using is one of the solid ones from the "Basic" brush category If still not working, can you upload the document to the forum?

Darko290 Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Yep, I've tried with basic brushes and with other brushes but nothing. Just now I made some experiments, and if I select "no color" and black, and I paint with "no color", it works correctly, this is the ss: But if I just switch the colors that I've selected, that means, if I paint with black, doesn't work, it's like painting in gray instead of full black: I think this shouldn't work like that, but at least, I found a solution. Hope you guys know what it's going on, here's my Publisher file using Studio Link:Flyers_A4_HPP - copia.afpub Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 4, 2021 Staff Share Posted May 4, 2021 You are working with a CMYK document. The black you are using is not pure black. Set the colors to CMYK, set K to 100% and paint on the mask. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
