I've not been able to fill an area of a layer with black background.
Workflow
Import Image as layer
Create a blank layer
Fill the blank layer with black (i want it to be a mask)
Use color selection tool to select a region
Copy Region
Paste Region Onto blank layer
Try to use color fill to color the selected region white.
It either turns black or nothing happens. I can change the color of the original background, but i can't find a way to fill the selected region..
Color Fill can't fill selected area

I'm not sure I 100% understood this. My best guess at where this is going wrong (and it's very much a guess) is that you need to know that the Color Fill tool is a click and drag operation to establish the tolerance of the fill. If this isn't it, I'm probably going to need a picture to understand.

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure about what's going wrong, but Pixelmator Pro automatically creates masks from active selections so I'm thinking all you need to do is make your selection, Control-click a layer in the Layers sidebar, and choose Add Mask.
If that doesn't help, would you be able to share a screen recording? Or detailed steps with specific actions and how you're performing them as there are different ways to fill layers with color, for example.

It may have something to do with unchecking 'preserve transparency'. I just did that, and it worked.
