[BUG] Layer mask dropping to the layer/folder below.
Posted: Mon Aug 07, 2017 4:55 pm
Hi,
I stumbled upon the following bug.
If I create a layer inside a folder and add a layer mask to this layer, the mask drops to the layer (or folder) below the folder after saving and reopening the document. The requirement for this bug: you have to close the folder containing the masked layer before saving.
How to recreate:
1. Create the following folder structure:
FOLDER
-- Layer with a layer mask
LAYER/FOLDER (outside and below the FOLDER above!)
2. Close the FOLDER containing the masked layer
3. Save the document
4. Close and reopen the document
5. The folder structure changes to:
FOLDER (still closed, the layer inside has lost its mask)
LAYER/FOLDER (received the mask of the layer from the FOLDER above)
How to fix:
1. Open the document in Photoshop (it opens with correctly applied mask)
2. Open the FOLDER containing the masked layer
3. Save the document.
4. Open the document in Paintstorm with correctly applied mask
It seems like Paintstorm is ignoring low level items (inside folders) and applies masks to the top level items if the particular folder is closed.
I hope you'll fix this bug in the next patch. Until then I'll have to leave my folders open.
Thanks!
