  • Can’t apply filters to Image Mask

    Posted by Kat Nofs on March 21, 2010 at 12:58 pm

    Hi,
    Trying to apply a crystalize effect to the edges of my mask. In the manual it says just apply the filter to the mask and presto, but it’s not so easy for me. NO filters work on my mask. They show up in the filters tab but no change no matter how much I play with the settings.
    Is there something I’m missing??

    Are you sure you are applying the filter to the mask itself, and not to the layer to which the mask is applied? The filter should appear indented under the mask, not directly beneath it.

    Hi Mark, Thanks for responding. I am in fact applying the filter directly to the image mask layer. To be honest, when that didn’t work, I tried every layer having to do with it!:)
