tersmuse Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I have in Photo Desktop 1.7.2 a photo with several layer masks. In each of the layer masks I have placed another photo. Now I have to replace one of these photos in one of the layer masks. When I remove the photo, the layer mask is also deleted. How do I replace a photo in a layer mask without removing the layer mask? How do I add a new photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Maybe upload the file or a demo file with the same layer structure, or even a screenshot would help Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

telemax Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 If the layer type is image, select the layer and click Replace.

tersmuse Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 I have no Replace Image. The original file (layer masks) is from Photoshop CS6. I placed the layer with the second photo to the right of the layer icon (LG Display) with the mask, so it came into the mask. But how do I get it out of there without removing the mask?

tersmuse Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Cmd+R ? This separates the mask from the layer, shows the content alone and the rest of the document transparently. What else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tersmuse Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 I'm unable to do it. Is there a manual, a video? Anything where I see the order of the steps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tersmuse Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Thanks telemax, that was very helpful! Just a question about the functionality: Is it also possible to modify existing layer masks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telemax Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 What exactly do you mean by "modify"? You can draw directly in the mask with a brush.
