Cannot make mask layer receive my brushstrokes

[Raaskot]

Ok, I give up. Searched a solution but no success:

I cannot make the mask layer receive my brushstrokes. Tried several suggestions (opacity, blendmodes, color, etc.). Do you notice any faults in my attached screen grabs?
Any Help is appreciated with grattitude!

Hi @Raaskot,

Sorry to see you're having trouble!

Can you please select the double arrow icon on the far right of the context toolbar, then untick Protect Alpha?

If this option is already unticked, can you please provide a copy of this .afphoto document here for me?

Ah, very good, now it works. Thanks alot!
I simply missed it: It was hidden behind the ">>"-symbol
Would never had found it without your kind help.

Kind regards, Raaskot.
