BeauRX Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Affinity has lots of aspects and tools to manipulate, which is great, but creates a lot of permutations to try when figuring something out. I know how to create a mask and then edit it directly with a brush to refine it. Wondering if there is a way to effectively "combine masks" or different selection techniques? For example a mask created from a tonal range with a mask created by selecting objects via the selection brush? I have tried a few things which kind of look like they work but then do not perform as expected such as selecting a mask and loading a selection from other layer. Any help appreciated, or if I'm wasting my time. I would also like more videos on topics like these for beginners-with-some-experience since this is an area where other vendors videos do not necessarily help.

Wosven Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Hi, you can combine, add/substract on a same mask, but you can also have several masks on a same layer. It can be interesting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauRX Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 As in the videos, I was able to "offer up" two masks to the same adjustment and that worked. Thanks for that. Could you provide a bit more detail on the add/substract on the same mask. I created a tonal mask then loaded a selection from another layer and got the marching ants but there was no way to add/subtract the second selection (like with selection brush tool bar). Do I need to be in a certain mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
