Staff Gabe Posted June 25, 2018 Staff Share Posted June 25, 2018 You need to rasterise your layer. Right click on the layers panel > Rasterise.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Check that the Context toolbar for the tool shows ‘New’ or ‘Add’ mode, not ‘Subtract’ mode.
