Hello,
I can't seem to get my head around layer masks and modifying layers.
I opened a .CR2 (canon raw file) as a layer, made a duplicate layer.
Tried various tools on the duplicate but they did not effect the image.
Next I added a layer mask to the duplicate, tried various tools on it and received the same results - no modifications.
If I tried various tools on the initially loaded .cr2 file, any changes I made took effect.
This is my first experience at modifying images so I have no previous experience.
I am looking for advice as to what I am doing wrong, please.
Thanks,
dlb
