dmstraker Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 If I have a normal image in black and white and paint black on it with the brush set to overlay, only the darker areas are affected. Similarly with white, only affecting lighter areas. In PS, this is used in a handy trick for refining masks (yes, I know there is a refine mask command, but . However, in AP, if I set the brush to overlay and paint black on a white area, it still darkens it. Looks like a bug? Digging around, it seems masks are held as alpha rather than mono. Perhaps this is the problem, but the incompatibility remains and may bluff other ex-PSers. Related, it seems a bit of a faff to convert masks back to pixel layers. The above problem (and others) would be eased if this could be sorted.

dmstraker Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thanks, MEB. And darn. Thought it'd be something like this. Next question is how to quickly convert to pixel layer and back again.

Staff MEB Posted September 21, 2017 Staff Share Posted September 21, 2017 [EDIT] previous post deleted by mistake, sorry. In Affinity brushes's Blend modes dont' affect masks (only pixel layers) so it's not possible to replicate what you are doing in Photoshop. It would be nice to have this and well as dodge and burn brushes working on mask layers. dmstraker 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayden Brand Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'm also looking for something like this. MEB, does that mean we cant do something like this in AF, and its only possible in PS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
