Duplicate mask retains adjustments…

I might be wrong but when I duplicate a mask in Photomator I’d like the new mask to have neutral adjustments. Instead it retains the adjustments of the original mask.

For example when I create a subject mask with some brushed refinements and apply adjustments and then duplicate this mask to invert it to work on the background, it still has the original adjustments though I’d probably like to apply different adjustements. Hope you can make sense of my word-salad here 😉

Your thoughts on this? Am I doing it wrong or could Photomator handle this differently?

Lower right corner the is a Reset Adjustments button that I think will reset only the duplicated mask, although you should test it to make sure it will not reset all the edits...

You’re right, I missed that one.

It indeed resets the adjustments of the selected mask or the RAW layer without affecting the masks.

Thanks a lot!
