Long standig bug in LrC.

 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a Mask.
2. Intersect to this Mask another Mask of you choice. (e.g. Sky)

Actual Result: Whenever we use "Intersect" the History states "Subtract (type of Mask)"
e.g. "Subtract Sky"

 

  

 

Expected Result: When we use "Intersect" History should state that we performed an Intersection.

 

E.g "Intersect Sky

Actually per design,

see the following link (for one)

 

https://www.michaelrungphotography.com/post/how-to-intersect-masks-in-lightroom

 

"When you choose Intersect Mask With when right-clicking on a mask, Lightroom Classic creates a new mask (within the same mask group) and - this is the key - subtracts and inverts it. Using my brush and color intersection example, Lightroom Classic subtracts the color from your original brush mask ("apply the brush but not to these areas") but then inverts that subtraction ("apply the brush to only these areas", in other words where the brush and the picked color overlap, and nowhere else)."

I know perfectly well that an Intersection is an Inversion + Subtraction.

 

Fact is originally Intersection didn't exist.

Users had to first Subtract then Invert.

Adobe then implemented (upon user request) Intersection as a one click thing but never corrected/updated the history step naming which stays at today as the old "Subtract".

I agree with @C.Cella  that this is incorrect. Yes, intersecting is subtracting the inverse, but the History step says 'Subtract Sky', which is incorrect to begin with (correct would be 'Subtract inverted sky'). The point is however that if the mask panel knows something called 'Intersect', then that is what the History panel should also know/show.
