You might be looking for the Group Isolation toggle. Mask layers are mostly intended to be used within isolated groups[1]. Try making a structure like ├─ layer2 ├─ group (isolated) │ ├─ mask (destination-in) │ ├─ masked2 │ └─ masked1 ├─ layer1 └─ <hidden background layer> The mask lets through only the "destination" inside itself, i.e. the layers behind it. Making a group isolated means its contents are all rendered separately, so in this case there are 4 layers behind "mask" if "group" is not isolated, and 2 if "group" is isolated. More on this in anther thread, I think. [1] "Group Isolation" toggle in the layers list menu; sometimes it's forced on [2] [2] Specifically when you use opacity lower than 100% for the group, or a mode other than Normal _______________________________________________ Mypaint-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/mypaint-discuss
