Photo: Quick mask in develop persona


Recommended Posts

I have multiple brush overlays in my develop persona, so it's easy to lose track of which overlay covers which area. Is there a way to "reveal" the currently selected overlay, much like the quick mask feature or - as in Photoshop's Camera Raw - that hover effect when you mouse over one of the overlay circles?

Removing all of the effects from an overlay appears to do what I want, but I don't want to lose those settings.

I just started playing around with overlays in the Develop Persona, and I see what you mean. There's a way without removing the effect/adjustment, and that's selecting one of the overlays and then move the Opacity slider above the Overlay panel. I think it would be very helpful and beneficial to be able to rename the overlay, just like in the Channels panel. OR just like you stated, hovering over them to reveal the mask again.

Hi TotallyNotARobot :)

Currently the quickest workaround for this is dropping the opacity to 0% for the overlay as there's no option to mask these currently. I'll move this thread to our Feature Requests section so our devs can consider adding this option into a future version!

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!
