Masking issue, clear mask, then add.

Post by rylleman »

When setting a mask to "Clear the mask, then add this layer to it", is there a way to have this mask invisible? It's visible by default and if I turn off visibility or choose "Don't render this layer" the mask effect is lost.

What I do is to create an extra, empty layer under the mask and on this layer I choose "Clear the mask, and the add this layer to it". On the mask-layer (not the new one) set the masking to "Add to mask, but keep invisible". Then it should work.

That's a workaround I can use, thank you.
