Masking "Sky"

[Ray34401643c9j8]

Masking is not working when I apply it to the sky in photos.

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.

And Sky fails? Do you get an error message?

[Ray34401643c9j8]

No message at all. 

[JohanElzenga]

This is normally caused by outdated GPU drivers.

[DS256]

Depending on your photo, LrC can't always discern the sky. Same for other masking types.

It puts the color in but when I close masking it goes away.

Are you conflating the Overlay with edits?

Why is your GPU driver v457.49  so old (released 11/20/2020) current would be v555.23. (released 1/24/2024)
