GFS Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Is there any way to clear (or fill) a brush mask with a keystroke? Quote Grumpy, but faithful (watch out all you cats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoy Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hi GFS There is a way to swap between hide and reveal on a brush mask, if you use the x key it swaps between the two states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFS Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 Thanks jhoy. I was hoping I'd be able to quickly clear a mask Quote Grumpy, but faithful (watch out all you cats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFS Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Thought I'd bump this again, as it seems such an obvious thing to have: So you have an adjustment mask that you brush in and then you want to change it and start over. IOW, you want to clear (or fill) and restart. Is there a shortcut for doing this? (I note that you can sometimes clear a mask which has been added to an adjustment, by using the delete key, though I haven't worked out why and when yet. This is good and bad/confusing, since everywhere else, the delete key deletes the layer) Quote Grumpy, but faithful (watch out all you cats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFS Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Thanks for the suggestion owenr. It's not bad and I've assigned shift-F5 to a Wacom button ... but it would be much better if I could skip the dialog ... which always open at the bottom of the screen?!? Who's idea was that???

That was the first thing I tried, but it doesn't behave as you would hope, when the mask has been brushed in/out. Instead, it fills areas, but seems to be kind of blocked by the areas that have been brushed. It may well be bug, as I can't see why it would be intended behaviour.

Are you at 100% tolerance?. Maybe a Mac/PC thing? (I'm on Mac) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFS Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Aha! Indeed, I didn't have it at 100% tolerance. Thanks. (If only all these tools' various controls, weren't spread out across a large monitor. Sigh ...)
