Compound masks, mode cut off display


Recommended Posts

UI elements cut off on bottom.

so much area wasted above (still able to change blend mode of mask which has no effect. Remove please. Same with layer opacity, blend ranges etc)

At least they added a scroll bar - but when you work with compound masks this makes it barely usable vs. desktop.

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.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.

While agreeing with comments regarding better use of menu realestate, (why waste space showing unnecessary setting controls), does rotating your iPad to Portrait mode give you better access to desired Compound settings? It should provide more space for the longer menus, making it more usable.

It does, but this as weak as using a scroll bar. Changing the compound mode is a first class function which must be available directly in the layer stack, and not buried behind multiple steps (click … to open menu, scroll down, click multiple times on left/right or click on name and navigate to wanted mode). There are only 3 or 4 relevant modes, we need the same 4 + - / x symbols like Desktop which can be directly clicked in one step. This is the absolut only clickable function we need for compound masks.

Hi - thanks for this feedback. In the 2.1 beta we have added new options to the left swipe menu from layers which include changing compound type when the layer in question is a compound. More info in post below. Be great if you wanted to try it - you can sign up to our beta program here.
