The mask layer has been deleted This only happens to mask layers subsequently added to existing groups. Mask layers that exist before creating the group are not being removed when ungrouping the layers. AP 1.7.3.481 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 The mask was on the Group not on a specific layer included in the Group. So when you delete the Group it's mask is also deleted. Expecting the mask to remain is like adding a mask to a pixel, image or curves layer, then deleting the pixel, image or curves layer and expect the mask for that layer to stay.

Imaginary Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Fair enough, but when I ungroup a layer group it is rather a change in structure than a deletion. I can see that techically the group is deleted, but I don't tell Photo to literally delete anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Well the structure part "Group" is removed, ie; deleted isn't it? What I'm saying is the Layer called Group is removed, and that is what the mask is tied to. Quote Affinity Photo 2.4..; Affinity Designer 2.4..; Affinity Publisher 2.4..; Affinity2 Beta versions.
