P: Masks change/created when moving/zooming an image using two-finger gesture

When editing a mask on mobile, the mask is now affected by moving and scaling the image. This leads to lots of false inputs and having to undo mask alterations after moving the cropped image view.

While having the brush tool selected on mobile, I was able to zoom in and out of the photo to brush different parts of the photos by pinching. Now when I touch, including pinching, any part of the screen, it selects everything I come in contact with. Never did that before. Did I click something to turn this on?

I've noticed a bug in the 10.2.1 update. When drawing an overlay with a brush, a round overlay appears as soon as I place two fingers on the screen to move the image. This leads to multiple unwanted overlays on the image, disrupting the editing process.

 

This bug is significantly affecting my workflow. Please fix it as soon as possible!

Thanks again for the post.  We realized this is actually a recently introduced bug.  For the sake of tracking, I'm converting this thread to a bug and setting status as "Acknowledged"

Trying some crops and geometry edits after applying several masks, plus doing addition masking work, I don't think I am reproducing the problem you see.

 

Could you possibly share a screen recording showing the problem?

Thanks so much.  I now understand your point, that the act of zooming in/out creates unintended brustrokes.

 

I will ask the app developers/designers if there is anything that can be done. 

 

For now, my advice is to first zoom in to the area of interest, and then select the brush tool to apply a mask.
