Chaplain Mark Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Clicking "Invert" in the Layer menu inverts the selected layer's colors, making a negative of the layer, instead of masking the layer in preparation for selectively painting the layer back on. Is this a new function for Invert, or is this a bug? 'Tis better to have a camera and not need one than to need a camera and not have one. ----------------- In pursuit of photographic excellence.

Chaplain Mark Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Thanks for your reply. I'm not referring to pixel selection, but rather a method of masking the layer in question. Before the new beta, Layer>Invert would apply a mask to the active layer, so that you could paint back in your layer at will. In the new beta, Layer>Invert makes a color negative of the layer by inverting the layer's colors. Not the same function as before. Thanks again, Mark 'Tis better to have a camera and not need one than to need a camera and not have one. ----------------- In pursuit of photographic excellence.

carl123 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Once you have applied the mask, make sure you only have the mask layer selected in the Layers panel, then use Layer > Invert to invert the mask If you have both the pixel layer and its mask selected, then the Layer > Invert command will produce the colour negative effect you are seeing To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Chaplain Mark Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Ah, that makes perfect sense......will check that and report back. Funny, I never made that mistake prior to the newest beta, I must be getting old....

That was the problem, adjustment layer was not selected.....
