Strange masking behaviour (yellow cast)

[jpordon]

When I place a mask in a photograph is place a yellow sheem over the masked aria.

it is not the overlay colour which is red in my case. There are no presets active on masking as far as I know.

I work on an Apple Mac Book pro 16" M2 and Lightroom 13.3 as of today but this issue was there on previous updates as well. Anyone have a guess what's going on and how I can fix it?

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Thank you. By the way: it should read Strange in stead of Trange.

Met vriendelijke groeten,

You may be 'inheriting' some previously changed default for the adjustments.

A checkbox in the Masks panel can automatically reset everything for each new mask you create.

In the screenshot above, I had previously changed default adjustments to include -1.02 stop Exposure (and possibly other changes too), so that was what I automatically got for this newly made mask. Just before making the screenshot I turned on the option highlighted in yellow. So now for the next new mask I make, I can be certain its Exposure will begin at 0 - and so will all its other adjustment sliders.

I should have also mentioned, there is a Reset button that can be clicked to re-initialise all adjustments for a given mask.

Check the curves on the mask, they don't tend to reset...
