Hello,

When I make a mask in Corel PP X4, it isn't red like in X3.

Do you know how I can change that ? 

Thanks :)

Hi

Checkout with Overlay Mask under Mask. This option will overlay your mask with Transperant red colour.

 A big thanks for you

It's ok I have my red mask

 You can also change the color using Options>display>mask tint

hi all!!

i've this same problems and i've activated my mask overlay...when i apply a mask using the mask tools the red layer will appeared but still when i used "Mask from Object" or "Ctrl + M" there r still no red layer...help me pleeeaasee!!! [:'(] Thanx!!!

Hi inaja, I have this in X3, when I have pasted an object into PP, with no background in the document. Create a background, and maybe the mask could be visible.

hi mo!!!

when i used the same method in x3, the red layer appeared even without any backgrounds...emm or maybe my photopaint is the problems...hehehe (very confusing)...anyway, thanx mo

H Inaja,

Sorry you like red overlay, it's first thing i turn off. :-)

I use Paint on mask instead to see my mask quickly as greyscale representation. Press CTRL+K to toggle in and out.

the red layer appeared

hi jeff!!!

i'm in love with that red layer!!!hahaha... actually that red layer makes me to be

more carefull in my works...for example; if i want to use a "bevel effects"...i've

to apply a mask first...eventhough the mask is still being apply only without

colour in my x4, just feel like something is missing... maybe co'z i used it so much in x3 and

it used to be red...hehehe err...that ctrl + k, what does it do again???when i paste

an object in photopaint, then press ctrl + k, it's gone...then press again and the

object appeared...just like magic ...in malay they says "kejap ada, kejap tidak

ada"...hehehe everyone have their own way of doing things...but still, i love that red

layer...thanx jeff for repliying

It is paint on mask mode, shows you your mask in grayscale, see example here

make a mask first so you understand what you are seeing
