Trying to follow quick mask tutorial

[alfeze]

I have placed an image on a doc . I am using a Surface Book. I then toggle the quick mask. Choose the paintbrush tool. And try and paint over the area that I want in my mask either using my finger or the pen, but nothing happens? I tried changing the pixel sixe and zooming right in but still nothing. Anyone any thoughts?. I have been able to cate other sorts of selections and masks just don't seem to be able to use the quick mask in the same way as the tutorial says. Many thanks

Hi alfeze,

Welcome to Affinity Forums

You have to set the colour of the Paint Brush Tool to white. When working with masks, white reveals (selects in this case) and black conceals. So if you need to adjust some part that you have selected/painted with white by accident change the colour to black and paint over it.

Thank you meb, yep now it works only after another accidental application o black;-) thanks for the super fast response.
