Color Mask issues
I downloaded the CO-9 update to see if the new Color Masking functionality was good enough for me to justify spending the money for the upgrade from CO-8. The Color Masking functionality seems quite nice and CO does a great job of making the selection but while I was testing it I noticed that when I made a second color mask and began making adjustments on that layer the image went completely black and did not reappear until after I released the press on the trackpad. Then the image reappeared properly and with the adjustment changes, but since the image was black during the change I could not see when to release the press and hence making a proper adjustment means making multiple changes, releasing the press and seeing how much over or under the image was adjusted. I did not have this problem with CO-8.
Today I saw the same problem when I was adjusting the first layer, but also, during another session, did not see it into the third layer, so it appears to be intermittent.
The problem is that I do not know if this problem is a CO bug or if it is related to the fact that I am working on a Mini (2015, El Capitan, i7 chip, 16GB RAM, 256GB ssd) and perhaps the Intel graphics is just not good and fast enough to keep up with the work. I thought I would post this and see if anyone else has seen this problem. I have kept an eye on the available memory and it has not run to zero, but I do not know what memory level would be low enough to generate this kind of problem, if any, since the Mac should be good enough at using virtual memory.

I don't think I have the problem. Or at least I didn't see it in my attempt replicate yours.
I have a late-2013 Mac Pro with 32GB RAM.0 -

Thank you for your response.
I am beginning to think that this problem is related to the fact that I am using a Mini. It is a well configured Mini with an i7 chip and 16GB of RAM, but it is still a Mini. Fortunately (or, perhaps, unfortunately) I can not just reproduce this problem. Sometimes everything works, sometimes it does not, and I have not found a common reason for the failure.
Perhaps trading the Mini for a Pro would solve it. 😊0
