Silvia Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 While trying to copy a mask on MacOs (High Sierra), right clicking on the mask thumbnail and selecting copy and/or duplicate, makes a copy of the Layer + mask. Yet, if I use Cmd J or Cmd C, a copy of just the mask is made. What am I doing wrong please? Or is this a known bug? Thanks Short clip.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvia Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 “The misbehaviour happens on my Mac if I do ctrl-click instead of right click on the thumbnail.” Oh, then I’m doing it wrong!! I’m doing Ctrl click. How do I just right click on a mouse pad in my laptop ? I rarely use right click and thought ctrl click was the way to bring up that right click menu. Thank you so much. EDIT: I changed my track preferences to double tap to right click and this works. However, I still believe it is a bug. Ctrl click is another way of right-clicking on Mac. It should work with both, double tap or Ctrl click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an amazing piece of luck if I didn't read your posts. Regarding the one you edited: I didn't see the edit because I was typing my reply to the pre-edit message while you edited. I know, I didn't say you were not right. My apologies once again. lepr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_d Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 FWIW I can confirm (OSX High Sierra, Affinity Photo 1.6.7): Cmd-c with a nested mask selected copies just the mask "Right click", a two-finger (secondary) click on trackpad, on a nested mask, and selecting "Copy" from the pop-up menu copies just the mask Control-click on a nested mask and selecting "Copy" from the pop-up menu copies both the mask and its parent layer. EDIT: Control-click, again on a trackpad, meaning hold down the ctrl key and single-click on the pad.
