I’ve reset everything, restarted PL, and the mask overlay color persists in b&w. Also, the mask option panel that used to be in the upper right overlaying the image disappeared when I selected Black and White. How do I get back to a colored mask?
-
starting here with a Control line and getting a permanent mask overlay
-
after adjusting (e.g. exposure) the mask overlay disappears
-
to get the mask overlay back either click on the check box
or hit the hotkey M
( the mask layer must be selected and the mouse over the preview )
-
to switch between Color and B&W mask go to the dropdown menu
Wolfgang, thanks for the reply. I understand all of that, so I am not describing the problem. On the screen you have an area that says: Show cropped areas, Show masks, and Color overlay. I don’t have that on my screen any longer: since I changed the overlay color to Black & White.
I hope someone can help. I’m considering uninstalling and re-installing to see if that fixes this. Otherwise I think DxO technical should offer some help.
Hi Curt,
I have tried again, but I still couldn’t reproduce what you are seeing – or not seeing.
( At some point, DxO changed the GUI/handling of the mask overlay, but the current PL7 version looks like the latest PL9 version. )
Your best bet is to try a new installation using a fresh download of the latest version. If you are installing over the existing one, use the repair function; otherwise, uninstall the program and reinstall it.
Wolfgang
Wolfgang, the new install as Administrator fixed the problem! Thanks for your suggestions and for sticking with me through this issue. Best, Curt
