Photo Beta 2.6.0 HSL adjustment layer not initially working with masked layer.

[Les Hall]

Opened a photo. I made a duplicate of my Bgnd layer. I played around with the new selection tools in the top duped layer. I selected an object, masked it and applied a Levels adj layer. Everything good, my object's Levels changed. Then I applied a HSL adjustment layer. It did not change the layer at all.

I closed the document and quit the beta. I then opened the document again and now the HSL adjustment works.

Hi @Les Hall,

I tested this with your image starting from scratch and all worked as expected on Mac when applying the HSL adjustment...

Are you seeing the issue on Mac or Windows and which version of the respective OS?

I'm a bit puzzled/confused. (I'm testing on Windows, in case that's relevant.)

1. You say you played around with the new selection tools in the top layer to select an object, then masked it. I'm curious why you masked it. Selecting it would provide a pixel selection. Any Adjustment you apply, while there's an active pixel selection, would automatically be masked to that selection. It's certainly OK to create a mask, and useful in some situations, but seems unnecessary here.
2. The top layer (Chair) is the only one with an HSL adjustment. But the middle layer (blue cloth) is the only one with a Mask, as far as I can see. And your description of what you've done doesn't mention working with multiple objects. This is one source of my confusion.
3. The HSL Adjustment on the Chair layer seems to be a default one, with no adjustments made. The adjustments in the file you uploaded seem to come from a Recolor Adjustment that you haven't mentioned. This is another source of my confusion. Sorry; misinterpreted what I was seeing. Thanks, @lepr.
   
   But the HSL Adjustment not having any changes applied to it would provide one explanation for it not doing anything

Not a bug.

Your HSL specifies a hue shift to happen to yellow pixels only (in the masked region), but your Recolour has already made the pixels be red and so there are no yellow pixels to be affected by the HSL. I think you intended the hue shift to target all pixels (in the masked region) and you targeted yellows by accident. Try clicking the leftmost button above the sliders so that all pixels are targeted and then shift the hue.

Please help me understand that, as it's not what I see. Doesn't my screenshot above show that everything is targeted? The first (left) circle has the selection highlight.

If you click the yellow disc, you'll see that a hue shift has been specified for pixels that are in the yellow range. No shift has been specified for the other hue ranges or the general case (multicolour disc).

Ah. Thanks. I didn't realize that was required.
