Silvia Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I reported this back in 2018. I was told that they already had it logged as a bug for the engineers to fix. 3 years have passed. I still don't seem to be able to use Ctrl click on a mask in Affinity Photo for MacOS (using Monterey now). I check and uncheck Locked child just in case, but still it doesn't work. Was it fixed and I just don't know how to work with it? Anyone with a Mac who would tell me please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 What is it you expect a CTRL-click on a Mask layer to do? For me, this pops up a contextual menu & always has.

Silvia Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 When I highlight the mask, and Ctrl click, the menu pops up. But it immediate highlights the layer above too. So if I want to copy the mask, I end up copying both, pixel layer and mask. No way to isolate and copy just the mask for example. I'm using to do save to channels but it's easier if I could just copy the mask when needed as people using Windows AP seem to be able to do.

I'm using to do save to channels but it's easier if I could just copy the mask when needed as people using Windows AP seem to be able to do. For me, when the Mask is a child of another layer & CTRL-clicking on it selects both the parent & child, like it does for you, if I just want to copy the mask layer, instead of CTRL-clicking on it, I just right-click on it, which does not select any other layer & allows me to copy it. Alternately, I usually just click once on that layer & use the standard CMD-C copy command to do that. So while there still seems to be an unfixed bug it is very easy to avoid it.

Silvia Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 Thank you. I will try Cmd C of course. I've been saving to Channels till now, and only today someone asked a question that reminded me of this old issue. And I had totally forgotten to tap with two fingers on my trackpad for a right click 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
