Combine masks or different selection techniques?


Recommended Posts

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.

Thanks

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?
