Cannot apply mask to image
« on: 2019 March 18 01:51:59 »
Hi,

I was re-processing an old image and got to the final stages and wanted to apply a star_mask to the image.  So I drag and drop the star_mask to the image, but the image "tag" does not turn brown indicating that a mask is applied.  mmmh, so I tried to apply the mask a little more carefully and I see the "small square icon" appear and drop the mask, but the mask is still not applied.  I created another star_mask, a luminance mask and a range mask and try to apply any of these masks but nothing works.  I saved the project and restarted PixInsight but the same issue persists.  If I look at "History Explorer", I can see that no mask has been applied to the image.  I then created a clone of the image and I can apply any mask to the clone image.

Anyway, I have completed the processing, so not a major problem, but if someone has an idea of what went wrong ……

Mask/Enable Mask is probably switched off.
