Mariskay Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 Hello, What i want to do is to select a mask and simply invert it. i am not finding CTRL+I for mask inversion, do i miss something or it is simply not there? Thanks in advance Quote
GarryP Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 The Invert Layer functionality is only available in Photo. There have already been requests to add it to Designer’s Pixel Persona but I can’t see that happening any time soon. Quote
Mariskay Posted November 29, 2021 Author Posted November 29, 2021 Interesting, such a basic thing... okay, thank you for your help! Quote
GarryP Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 You’re welcome. (I could be wrong about Designer not getting this functionality any time soon, so keep checking the beta release notes for functionality changes.) Quote
Ron P. Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 There is a workaround. You can ALT (Windows), click on the Create Mask icon in the Layers Panel. This produces the same is Inverting it. OR the long way around; Create your Mask, go into the Pixel Persona. Using the Flood Fill Tool, and with the Mask layer selected Flood Fill it with Black. Now you can Paint back in what you need.

NotMyFault Posted November 29, 2021 Posted November 29, 2021 In theory you could use one of the three alpha capable adjustments (levels, curves, color mixer) to invert the alpha channel and nest it to the mask. unfortunately there are multiple bugs unsolved so it does not always work reliable at least up to 1.10.4, IMG_0566.MP4 Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | MBP M3 Windows 11 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 | Dell 27“ 4K iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

Probably not relevant here but is there some reason you are using the iPad version of AD for your video?

When i have temporary no access to my PC, i sometimes use iPad in cases where there are no platform differences making it impossible to use the same workflow. Mostly i add a note explaining this fact - unless i forget. In this case others already provided viable solutions, so my post was only adding another option for sake of curiosity and completeness. Hopefully nobody got harmed 😉.
