Hello,
I have a question concerning the layer masks in the layer palette:
Normally I always used to edit the layer mask with the brush tool (white or black), selection tool etc – which is very practical when you only want to apply curve layers in specific regions. Like – selecting an area with the lasso, feather it and after clicking the layer mask symbol, deleting the selected area, which excludes it also from the layer mask… However, after a new install of Windows XP; I cannot seem to do those operations on the layer mask anymore, they are like fixed: Before I litterally could select the mask in the layer palette, the symbol right to the picture thumb, this is not possible anymore. I cannot delete regions of the mask by selecting and deleting the according regions in the photo.
Is there a kind of setting to activate this, or is it a misinstall/ window problem?
Thank you,
Bernie
