Question

When I create a mask I do not see the "ADD" or "SUBTRACT" options. How do I see them? Windows 11 ... LrC 15.3

I have been able to see those options, up by the Histogram before.

    @Dick_Davis If ​@dj_paige hint doesn’t work please post a screenshot that shows the issue. 

    My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

    It may be something as simple as you have to click on a mask to see these options. If no mask is selected, I don’t think you will see them.

     

    Also, the new forum is so poorly designed that a lot of people are confused. The first dialog box when you create a post is the title (even though it doesn’t say that), you should enter a few words like “Options missing in masking”. The next dialog box is where you put the details.

    Hey dj_paige  … I just took your suggestion and clicked on the mask and guess what I saw !!  I had not had to do that before but. You’re the best dj. I can say that because my wife’s in the other room :😂

    I do not think this is correct. This aspect of masking hasn’t changed in years.
