Hi,

I have two layers. Upper most with text is locked.

Bottom layer is an image I have applied a transparency/gradient mask for the raster image. Now, seems my layers palette is stuck in a mode called 'Layers (Opacity Mask)'.

Not seen this before, but this is CS6. How do I get out to the main, root level of the layers palette?

thanks!

In the Transparency Panel, select the left icon to edit the art.

You have selected the right icon (to edit the Opacity mask)

regards,

Ton

I couldn't find the left icon @Ton Frederiks referred to for ages in the Transparency Panel, in AI CC. But if it helps I literally just copied the masked image, deleted it and then pasted it again and it took me out of the Layers (Opacity) panel 🙂

On the left the object to be masked, on the right, the opacity mask.

Nunca se me ocurrió volver a pinchar el icono de la izquierda. También perdí mucho tiempo tratando de salir del modo máscara de opacidad hasta que tuve que recurrir a google. Gracias.
