Hello,

I'm posting this to ask about this weird red mask that appeared on a file that I opened from Lightroom. I had edited this picture previously, but I nevr applied any mask to it, and it doesn't show in the layers either. Does anyone know anything about this?

Without seeing a screenshot, I'm guessing that either you are in QuickMask "Q" or you have an alpha channel visible (Channels panel).

I'm guessing it's a glitch. I had worked on the image and saved the file yesterday, and in the preview in Lightroom it didn't look red, it looked normal. When i reopened it today it had this red overlay.

There is no red mask in the screenshot. The channels just show red information across the bag in the red channel and no blue or green information on the bag. However there is blue and green information in those channels - hence the white background and the perfect shape of the bag outline in each channel. All that matches perfectly layer 1.

The bag is not supposed to be red! ðŸ˜… You can see its actual color in Layer 0.

But layer 0 is behind layer 1 in which the bag is coloured red. If you don't want that just turn off (or delete) layer 1 and replace it with a copy of layer 0.

Layer 3: not sure of the purpose

Layer 1: red bag that you see in your document

Layer 2: solid white layer that hides Layer 0

Layer 0: grayscale bag hidden by Layer 2

Try clicking the eyeball for the top three layers. Is that what you want to see?

 

For clarity, give your layers useful names.

 

Jane

 

EDIT: a half a minute behind Dave 🙂.
