The following parameters are common for all masks: Blending – Determines how multiple masks are blended together over a single correction layer: Overwrite – Sets the current mask as it is, without blending it with the masks before it (standing on its left). Add – Adds the current mask to the result of all masks before it. This is the default mode. Subtract – Subtracts the mask from the result of all masks before it. Multiply – Multiplies the mask with the result of all masks before it. Divide – Divides the mask by the result of all masks before it. Element – Specifies the render element from which the mask is read. Only render elements available in the rendered image and compatible with the type of the mask are listed in the drop down. Opacity – (Mask opacity multiplier) Determines to what degree the selected layer obscures or reveals the layer beneath it. Even if there’s only one mask child, you can modify its opacity. The opacity is multiplied with the mask color. Show preview when selected - When enabled, shows a preview of the mask if the mask is selected. Invert mask – When enabled, inverts the mask results. Multiple masks can be combined, e.g. an Exposure layer with two masks to it. The blending mode parameter to the first mask (the one on the left) is not considered and is always grayed out. |
Note that all masks are created with Blending mode set to Add. If there is only one mask child, the blending mode has no effect. |
When seeing masks in preview (i.e. the Show preview when selected option is enabled), the name of the layer/folder that contains the mask(s) is in bold in the layers tree. Note that the preview cannot be saved. |
– Allows you to add a new mask layer. – Shows all tabs of the currently selected color correction layer. When a mask is added to a layer, the Show masks' preview option is available in the layer's Parameters tab. This options shows a preview of the masks when selected. |
