totjoss Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hi everyone, I still wish there were destructive filters (instead of only live ones). But the reason to this post is to find an efficient way to alter a mask layer using filters. Indeed, a trick I often used to do on Photoshop (but also Krita) is to sharpen a mask layer using brightness/contrast or curve filters. As a mask layer is a greyscale pixel matrix, this should be totally possible. A sample of what a curve on a mask layer could produce : I tried to add a filter under a mask layer - it is possible but nothing happens. However, I've just been trying a dynamic filter (blur, sharpen) and it works on a mask layer ! But unfortunately we can't merge the filter it, so we couldn't re-edit the mask layer afterwards with a pencil. It looks like basic filters on mask layer is a feature not implemented, I wish it was ! Especially as it goes along with the dynamic filter working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telemax Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Hi, You can create a layer-mask which is a normal layer and therefore works with all Adjustments.

nikolai.ylirotu Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 So, the old problem still exists. Since 2017. It would be nice to get blur to the mask layer without releasing it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
