How does ‘Show masks’ work?

When i hover on the image, it will start suggesting me new masks if the AI mask tool in selected, on top of my existing mask.

Yes, that’s really irritating …
and one of the reasons I’d like the return of a prominent button in the top bar indicating tLA tools are selected (and to deselect with a simple click without searching, which tool I need to hit … esp. when they slipped out of sight).

I can only hide the masks once I have made an adjustment in the local parameters, e.g if I change the exposure, then the ‘show masks’ button becomes selectable.

If I create a mask and do not do any adjustment, then it’s impossible to hide it.

Thats exactly how I know it.

But, as you are on a Mac … @Joanna experienced something else → see ….
And with @swmurray it is the same …
