Swap black and White in layer mask

[steenmikkelsen2]

How do I change the default settings for the layer mask, as I'd like to swap black and white color.

Assuming you're trying to make transparent places opaque and vice versa...

Look in the Properties panel.

hi steenmikkelsen2,

white means that your mask is transparent until you fill it with black. since then, there was no option to change the mask default settings from white to black otherwise you have to do what Noel suggested. but i hope my suggestion will help you better.

►press "Alt" key on your keyboard simultaneously as you click on the "Add Layer Mask" button under the Layers panel. that switches a white layer mask to black. 🙂

Another option is to simply invert the layer mask with Ctrl i  (Cmd i)
