Layer mask : New edition 2023 CC: Layer mask is not working correctly

Hi Team,

I am experiencing some issues while using the layer mask. The content below the layer is still visible when I use the mask. If I use a layer to replace a face with another, I can still see the shadow of the original face in the below layer. It's happening in all 2023 editions. I have the latest updated version.

I will appreciate any help to fix this issue. All settings under preference are identical as it's in the 2022 version. For this reason, I am forced to use the 2022 version.

Please see the attachment. I have circled the eyes-brows/eyes of the below layers circled with red.

There is a similar recent post where a user was not getting a pure black in their mask. They were applying a gradient using the built in Black to White option. However, they were able to get a pure black when they manually set the Foreground color to black (0,0,0) and then used a gradient option that referenced the Foreground color.

Hey, Michael, I don't have issues with Gradient. I am unsure if I understand what you are asking me to post. Would you mind posting the screenshot of what info you want from me?

Post screenshot of entire window with Layers panel expanded and visible. There are multiple scenarios possible, either you have lowered opacity for layer or layer mask property Density is changed so it will be good to click on layer mask and expand Window > Properties panel along Layers panel so we can see properties for layer mask.
