NotMyFault Posted March 31, 2022 Posted March 31, 2022 Is this by design ? A simple rectangle with fill and stroke. Add a mask in child position Add a mask in masking position. Produces different results Affects fill only affects fill and stroke mask to curve issue.afphoto 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.

Staff stokerg Posted April 1, 2022 Staff Posted April 1, 2022 Hi @NotMyFault, From my understanding and from speaking with QA this is working as expected. A mask nested to a layer affects the whole layer, whereas a mask clipped to a layer only affects the area clipped by the parent layer. NotMyFault 1 Quote
NotMyFault Posted April 1, 2022 Author Posted April 1, 2022 Thank you. This kind of makes sense, but comes as surprise as I never recognised anything about this feature in help or tutorials. Is this documented in help? I did not find any reference to mask layers used in clipping position in help. Would it make sense to explicitly mention this feature in help? https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/Layers/LayerMasks.html If Affinity will review the help, the following part might be technically true, but ...hmm... useless: Mask layers can have a unique blend mode assigned. No matter what blend mode you set, it has absolutely no effect. So Why is it possible to assign "unique" blend modes to masks if it has no effect at all?
