not able to select mask
« on: 2015 July 11 06:54:29 »
Hi

I am v new to PI, just started to use the trial version.

Selecting a mask did work, but I can't get it to work now. I have opened the luminance channel of an RGB image using channel extraction and the gone to Mask to Select Mask. It opens the process window but when I click on New Mask, the only option is No Compatible Images. I have turned PI off and on again but still no joy. Probably something simple I am doing wrong!!

Look forward to hearing from you

Thanks

Make sure you have the original image highlighted before trying to select the mask. You can also drag the identifier tab from the luminance and drop it onto the original, just under its identifier tab.
