Asser82 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi, there seem to be a bug: 1) File-> New 2) Add Pixel Layer 3) Elliptical Marquee Tool -> Drag Eliipse 4) Mask Layer 5) Deselect (Ctrl+D) 6) Ctrl+Left Click on Layer Mask => History shows "Selection From Layer" but no selection appears. Now: 1) File-> New 2) Add Pixel Layer 4) Paint brush tool -> Draw a curve 3) Elliptical Marquee Tool -> Drag Eliipse partially overlapping the curve 4) Mask Layer 5) Deselect (Ctrl+D) 6) Ctrl+Left Click on Layer Mask => The created selection consists of the intersection of the former mask with the created pixels of the pixel layer.

AlainP Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I just tried it and get the exact same results. And if you Ctrl+Left Click repeatedly , it keeps adding "Selection From Layer" each time. Does not seem normal to me... -- Window 11 - 32 gb - Intel I7 - 8700 - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 -- iPad Pro 2020 - 12,9 - 256 gb - Apple Pencil 2 -- iPad 9th gen 256 gb - Apple Pencil 1 -- Macbook Air 15" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrym Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Tried second one, looks like when there are no pixels other than the curve it's calculating the mask as the intersection of the bounding box of the curve (that's the bounding box of the image at this point) and the ellipse mask.If you fill in the whole image with colour (pixels) then draw the curve you get a full ellipse as it's obviously completely within the area of the images bounding box. Now whether that is considered 'normal' or not I don't know and as I am using this to finish off photographs I'm not sure when I'd come across that as an issue.Consider, if you fill in the entire image with pixels then create an ellipse mask that is dragged outwith the bounds of the image I would expect the mask to have a partial ellipse with a straight edge where it crosses edge of the image. In that sense what it's doing in the example seems consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asser82 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 From user's perspective the commands "Mask Layer" <-> "Selection From Layer" should be symmetrical. If I can draw that selection, I want it to be restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrym Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hi Asser82, not saying you're wrong. Just trying to provide a plausible explanation as to why/how it's doing that ie it's clipping the mask to the boundary of the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted January 13, 2017 Staff Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hi Asser82,Harry has essentially hit the nail on the head. Both issues are the same - if there is nothing on the pixel layer then there is no bounding box, so nothing is selected; if there is contents on the layer then it will make the selection to the extents of the bounding box of the pixel layer. I will get it reported as it certainly does feel wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asser82 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hi Sean and Harry, yes I thought so, see title. Sean as you say, it feels wrong and it does not allow to restore the complete selection in certain situations. Thx for reporting it to the development.
