Using brush on layer mask: Nothing happens

Beitrag von ketsko »

I have recently encountered a problem I did not have before (maybe the reason is that I don't use PL as often as I used to, so there could be a setting or procedure I have forgotten): The goal is to merge two images, normally because of different exposures. Procedure: Copy one version as layer and paste on top of the other, which is then the background layer. Then create layer mask. Then using brush to paint, meaning to expose parts of the background layer. But now I only get a slight darkening, no features from the background layer appear at all - even if tool intensity is set to 100%. Did I overlook something here?

Double-click your foreground colour swatch to open the colour editor, and make sure the colour is set to Black and the opacity is 100%.
