Hi, I am trying to follow along with the tutorial in this video

https://www.pixelmator.com/tutorials/pi ... explained/

However I’m running into an issue. I duplicate the photo, then go to the copy, convert to B&W and then invert colors. I then export it as a jpg in iCloud. I then go back to original, create a mask and then use the swap mask option to try and load the black and white phot as the mask itself. But it loads as a different size so it doesn’t match up to mask the layer as expected. Where am I going wrong?

Hey there! When you're loading up a mask, pay attention to the Scale setting:

It will probably have to be set to Original Size to keep it lined up with the image.
