When I create an ajdustment layer the mask for it is not solid and permanent for any mask I create!

[Nathan Taylor]

When I create an adjustment layer or just make a mask it looks like a mask I made before in the same project space. When I copy and paste the base pixel layer it creates some colors in the shape of the same mask. Can someone tell me how to fix this? Try doing anything with this file. Copy and paste the base layer into a new project to see what I'm talking about. Also, try creating a mask or an adjustment layer. This is the most annoyed I've been with Affinity Photo. I didn't touch any settings or anything, and this started happening right before the 1.6.5 update.

Hi Nathan,

Welcome to the forums. 

You made a really soft selection on that base pixel layer and saved it on the pixel selection channel. 

To fix this, select your pixel layer, and go to Select > Deselect. This will make it "editable" again. 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Thanks! I didn't even think about that! I couldn't see the selection at all. I just pressed CTRL+D to deselect all layers just in case.
