  • Script that rescales a mask path

    Hi I’m new here.

    How to programmatically re-scale a Mask Path (or its “bounding box”, or the vertices of its shape ??) that’s in a Solid layer ?

    Also, the rescaled mask has to remain centered on its layer.

    Thanks a lot !!

    Hey Martin can you give a little more detail about what you want to do?

    When i make a solid layer and then draw a mask it normally rescales with the layer already so im not sure what you’re asking for exactly.

    I want to re-scale the shapes inside a mask instead of the mask itself.
    I’m using glow effects. If I dont scale down the shapes (generated by auto-trace), the glow effect is cut off at the bounds of the mask.
