maxen Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I imported an openEXR image with a bunch auf b/w-layers (Object buffers from C4D) into Affinity Photo. I tried to use them as mask right away, but that didn't work. Instead I have to "rasterise to mask" each one of this layers. The resulting mask layer can be used in the expected way.There is no hint in the help what "rasterise to mask" actually does. (To be honest, there isn't even a topic about that.) What are the properties that decide whether a layer works as mask or don't? edit: It seems that b/w-images generally can't be used as mask in version 1.5.1.54 anymore...

Staff Leigh Posted March 2, 2017 Staff Share Posted March 2, 2017 It seems that b/w-images generally can't be used as mask in version 1.5.1.54 anymore... I've just tried this in 1.5.1.54 and it seems to be working as expected with both colour & B/W images. Rasterize to mask takes the luminance values within the image and makes a mask from them.

maxen Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Yes, I know. I meant you have to "rasterize to mask" first. You can't just drag and drop it onto the layer you want to mask.But this was never possible in AP. I mixed it up with PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
