P: Vector Mask selection bug

  • January 17, 2014

You can no longer select the vector mask thumbnail in Photoshop CC after it has been disabled on the layer. In previous versions of Photoshop, I was able to click on the vector mask thumbnail after it has been disabled and edit what I want to exclude from the vector mask or edit the paths that I created.

    WHY is this still (21.2.4) not fixed? It's annoying as hell.

    Side note: related; when using for instance the 'Elipse Tool', pressing shift ('force proportions') only has an effect when the shape is changed (mouse movement). In PS CS6, pressing shift immediately forces proportions. As it should be.

    Hey Jeff, it's only half fixed in 20.0.2. See issue below...

    Can confirm. The behavior is still very buggy with the mask switched off.

    In 20.0.2, I cannot select multiple points in a vector mask (by Cmd+drag) if the vector mask is switched off.
    The "set density to 0' workaround works, but it's a nuisance.

    This issue should be fixed by the Photoshop CC 2018 (19.1) update that was released today.

    You are right. I Also can't.

    There is one more bug. If you lock artboard position via layers panel you can't edit vector path and you can't select points. It's already logged and adobe want fix it.

    I am doing now that way, but I am not able to load selection from mask when mask density is set to zero.

    As usual Adobe has tried to "fix" something that works perfectly in the past

    Yes, this was handy. My workaround is set layer mask density to zero in properties panel. Mask looks disabled and you can edit it, but you don't see disabling mark in layer mask thumnail.

    I've just talked to the Adobe Support. It seems that this functionality has been disabled in every version of CC.
    I wonder if the engineers can add a section on the preferences pannel for this, as they did with the Legacy Healing Algorithm in CC 2015.5...

    I checked the other day, and it ceased to exist after CS6.
