Hi all,
i am very new with all the photo stuff but i got used to PO10pro for sony recently. now i am facin a problem with the maks tool.
i would like to copy an brushed mask from a layer 1 to a layer 2 and invert it, of course with the purpose, that the initially copied mask from layer 1 disappears or changes to the inverted in layer 2. with my system it always keeps the copied mask from layer 1 in layer 2 after inverting so that i have the two areas in the layer 2.

how can i get rid of the initially copied mask from layer 1 in the layer 2?

thanks so much for your answers in advance!

  I tried, and no problem here. What I did is create a new layer (with the default name Layer 1), brushed a mask in in, and created a second new layer (Layer 2, indeed). I copied in the mask from Layer 1, and inverted it. Looked quite as the inverse mask to me. So what are you doing exactly?

  hi grasjeroen,
  thanks for your reply and sorry i was off for a while...
  
  so what i am doing is exactly the same as your description and indeed there is the result of an inverted mask, but....
  if i have a closer look, there is clearly the layer 1 mask still there in the layer 2 and the inverted is also visible with double density compared to layer 1.
  
  is there a way to upload pix so i could show you?
  
  cheers
