Dear community
perhaps a rather simple question - how is it possible to protect transparent areas in a layer (like in photoshop)? i would like to recolorise shapes with a different color be it manually with a brush or with the filling shape tool. in PS you have a checkbox to protect transparent areas of a layer.
best regards
simon

See that little mask icon on top of the layer names in your timeline? Click the button below that in the layer you want to use as mask.

Hi Slowtiger
many thanks for the hint - works perfectly (of course).
have a nice day.
