kat Posted May 12, 2024 Posted May 12, 2024 Why can't I the mask icon and get various mask options like the Youtube tutorial screenshot? To get compound, hue, luminosity, etc masks I have to go to the menu bar>layers>live mask layer>options-see 2nd screenshot. Quote Affinity Suite v2.5, Mac Mini M2 Pro 2023, Sonoma, OS 14.1.1
Staff Callum Posted May 12, 2024 Staff Posted May 12, 2024 Hi Kat, This behaviour changed a few updates ago, now if you left click the button you get a new mask layer and if you right click the button you get the old menu Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

It's hard to say for sure, without knowing which YouTube tutorial you're watching, and what you get. But my guess is the tutorial is out-of-date, and not made using the latest version of Photo.

kat Posted May 12, 2024 Author Posted May 12, 2024 My mouse is set so the right button is my main button, left my secondary. I'm on AP 2.4.2 "This behaviour changed a few updates ago, now if you left click the button you get a new mask layer and if you right click the button you get the old menu " Didn't work @Callum. Right I get a ordinary mask. Left nothing. Quote Affinity Suite v2.5, Mac Mini M2 Pro 2023, Sonoma, OS 14.1.1
