Can someone please explain how masks work? I cant seem to paint white onto a black mask.
Hi
I am trying to make the edges of a layer darker, i want to try an paint it in as needed. I have made a duplicate layer that i adjusted with curves to make darker, when i try to add in a black mask that i then paint white onto to show that darker parts nothing happens, it will allow me to paint black onto a white mask but this means i would have to paint out everywhere that i dont want the darker area to appear which is most of the image this seems like a way more inefficient way to do it any would probably lead to more mistakes, where am i going wrong?
Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
