P:(Masking) Invert Mask remember state

Nope... Adobe devs just don't care. I really wish Adobe did not practically have a monopoly.

Did anyone find a way around this?

This tiny change has a huge impact on my workflow.

Year and a half since the OP and the issue still persists.

This was a feature that was previously available in lightroom classic and in the past updates I have not been able to find an option to continue ising this feature. I never use the radial filter unless it is inverted. For work flow, this means every time I want to use the "inverted" option, I have to go through multiple steps rather than have my preferance saved. Presets allow for all other sliders and functions to be saved preferences, but not "invert". This seems like a really simple fix, I hope there's a way we can accomidate this idea.

"I would almost argue that it wasn't removed intentionally."

That's very possible -- it's happened before.

@johnrellis Well... exactly.

It takes one release without asking anybody to remove a feature that many people were used to, but it then takes "additional votes over the years" to maybe get that back.

And don't get me wrong... I would understand to some degree if the feature in question was some bloated thing that would be causing some unwanted side effect and would be desirable to remove from some point of view... but remembering a checkbox state... I would almost argue that it wasn't removed intentionally.

"Those small corrections take ages to get implemented and usually their are just marked as "ideas" and slowly forgotten about."

Most of the ideas posted here don't get implemented, but some do, including ones that slowly get additional votes over the years.  Here are some from the last year or so I found:

@thehearth That is, sadly, how it works here. Those small corrections take ages to get implemented and usually their are just marked as "ideas" and slowly forgotten about.

It's been a very long time and Lightroom masks still don't remember the invert state. It's frustrating. This is such a tiny but important change to the functionality of masks. I use radial filters on invert, literally, 100% of the time. It is clear that Adobe understands users have a variety of styles in how they work with their software, but are arbitrarily assuming that everyone uses masks in the same way. And, from mask to mask, they do remember the state of other settings, but for no discernable reason, not the invert state.

Adobe, please fix this so I can stop manually inverting every single mask. 😓

Oh god yes, for the love of god. Just make LR remember the invert state again. No idea why they decided to remove this. In my editing workflow, I always apply radial filters last, and I want the state inverted 99% of the time. It's the only reason I have to pick my hands up off the keyboard and it's driving me crazy. 😓
