Masks

[Michael Stewart]

Hi
Can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.
If I add a gradient mask (or brush mask) then for example add an s curve using the curve’s dialogue, then check the blue tick and click sliders icon to do ‘normal’ edits, if I do anything with curves or levels, my image goes very bright and histogram shows data mainly on the left.

What am I missing?

My camera is a Panasonic s5d.

Thanks

Forgot to say I’m using an iPad m2

That sounds a lot like an issue that I reported on macOS and I think the problem was related to something on Apple’s end, and a workaround was to disable standard raw processing in the Nitro settings. I don’t know if that’s something you can also do on iPad but might be worth a shot.

Ok. It didn’t work. I relaunched the app and deleted the associated xmp file just in case. No luck.
It’s a weird issue because I have some images I did yesterday from the same batch and I managed to add masks with no issues.
I’ve even tried doing my main edits first before adding any masks but the issue persists.

Thanks for your input though

I would need more information to tell you what’s going on, but there is a bug in macOS / iOS that affect Nitro with masks. Specifically, if you have the same adjustment (e.g. Curves) in the main interface AND you also brush Curves, then the system gets confused and it applies to the whole image.

To troubleshoot this, take a simple JPEG, make no edits and then apply a mask with Curves. Do you see the same problem?
