Polycord Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hey there! I am trying to invert a mask I’ve made on Affinity Designer 2 [IPAD] and I cannot find a way to do it, does anyone know how to invert a mask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Long-press with one finger on the canvas. A pop-up will show up, choose „invert Pixel selection“ Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polycord Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hey, now that I’ve checked. I think you understood me wrong. I was talking about making the white part black and the rest white. Is there something I am doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Just reading again: to invert a mask, you need several steps: selection from layer (mask layer) delete mask invert pixel selection create mask from selection.

Polycord Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 Ah, I understand. But how do you create a mask? It’s because I am still very new to this even after using Affinity for a few months now and I don’t know all the controls and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need to use Photo to get all those goodies: channels panel, allows to invert any mask directly Rasterize, merge and flatten (those are available on iPad, but not on desktop) other stuff I forgot.

The + sign in the layer panel/studio will do the trick Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 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.
