Embarrassed to say I have forgotten how to do this. Call it wind on the brain.
— I’ve added a layer mask (that black & white mask) on the same layer as my photo.
With a brush having some softness, I drew an outline (lets say a weird shaped, closed circle), and I want to select in the mask the area inside the circle in order to expand half the width of the brush so I can do a fill where it goes in too the first pixel on the fehtered line, nor ruin the soft edge of the line on the outside of the circle, so it keeps its nice edge.
The problem I’m having is that even though I have the mask selected in the layers palette, when I apply the wand tool in the image, it’s selecting based on the photo, not on the mask.
Hope that’s clear.
Thanks.
