Hi! I'm having a problem using the white brush when masking. The black one works perfectly but when I use the white it doesn't work. Anybody knows what could be the problem? Thanks in advance!

The Blend Mode is »Multiplicar« – multiplying white on black gives black. 

Try »Normal«.

It's unclear what problem you're having. You say white doesn't work, but what does that mean? What exactly happens versus what are you expecting to happen?

 

When masking (using layer masks), painting with white should reveal the contents of the layer while painting with black should hide the contents of the layer. If you're talking about quick masks it's different. With some additional info hopefully we can help you.

Exactly what you are saying, the white brush should reveal the contents of the layer but it doesn't, while the black brush does hide the contents of each layer. 

Thanks

What are the Brush’s Blend Mode, Opacity, Flow? 

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible?

I guess that from the place (which is the same in every language) you know the meaning of the words (sorry it's not english).
