Opacity Masking Not Working

Community Beginner ,
Jan 10, 2023 Jan 10, 2023

Hello,

My masking tool is not working. Once I draw the shape nothing turns black not the background or the shape. This happens when I use the circle and sqaure to mask as well.IMG_7204.jpg

Hi Kiesha,

Sorry. Try this: click on "Mask 2" and press delete. Is Mask 1 working now? 

 

Thanks,
Kevin
