hammarbytp Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 In Photoshop I can view which part of the mask is affecting the image via a Rubylith overlay. While you get something similar in quick masks is there a method of viewing a overlay at any point (i.e not a quick mask)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 9, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hi hammarbytp, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Currently only Quick Mask and Refine Selection lets you view the masks as a Rubylith overlay. You can see regular masks as greyscale images pressing ⌥ (option/alt) and clicking the mask's layer in the Layers panel but there's no way to see them as an overlay. Feel free to add a request for this in the Feature Requests section.

hammarbytp Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thanks for the response. It is not a show stopper, but I will not waste any more time looking for it. Thanks for the response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter McQuie Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Thanks, this helps me a lot. I prefer the greyscale representation to a red overlay. You can also right click on a mask icon and choose edit adjustment to get a grayscale representation, but it doesn't work for adjustment and filter layers, only masks. I'm a little surprised that there's no toggle available--apparently you have to click on another layer and then the layer you're working on to get back to the image.
