Hi, I guess this is a stupid question and I just missed the obvious but I can’t figure this out:

After creating a mask the red overlay disappears when I release the mouse button until I use the mask tool (brushing in this case) again.

Is there a way to show the masks, the red overlays even when not using the tools?

Hope anyone can help

Thanks

Try using show mask overlay ("View - Overlays - Mask overlay")

Being able to see and edit just the mask would be wonderful :disappointed:
