I am trying to use a mask on a models face to lighten one side.

So, creating a mask, selecting 'person' then persons skin and brush, zooming in to 100% the image become blurred and uneditable. Why?

Correct answer Dolp

Glad to hear that.

 

If you enable the second option does it work?

No, I tried that. I worked back from 'use GPU for export' only 'use GPU for display' worked

I have attached two files, one showing the setting as 'fit' and the other at zooming in to 100% showing the face only. as you can see the image at 10% is rubbish and unworkable.

It looks like when you zoom-in LrC is not rendering the whole image, all is pixelated.

 

It's not the mask in itself.

 

What GPU Acceleration is set in your performance preferences ?

Is that on the iMac preferences or Lightroom? I see in me initial notice the current GPU settings are noted and states that it is auto.
