Brain dead question about layer masks
OK, I've gone completely brain dead. In CS3, isn't there a way to show the layer mask as a red overlay? I can not for the life of me remember how to turn it on.

That's ok... I must've been imaging things May 27 09 05:14 pm Link Click on the mask channel, not layer. You'll find it in the channels palette. May 27 09 05:15 pm Link Lumigraphics wrote: Bingo!

I mean "panel"). \ is even better though. Jun 01 09 11:12 am Link ezpkns retouching wrote: Yeah \ works best. That's what I use. Jun 02 09 01:31 am Link |
