I had an issue where the Mask Selection color had somehow changed to black (#000000) and I could not get it back to red (#ff0000).
Steps to reproduce issue:
- Look up hex value required using a color chart in a picture editor (I thought to myself: “one in photo AI would be nice”).
- Type the hex number into the six digit box under “Selection” and press “Enter”.
- Wonder why it doesn’t work, fail to find a solution in the ‘Help’ so send an email to support.
Solution: DON’T type the hex value into the box! Instead, click the color chip at the left-hand side and select the color you want there. A color chart IS built in (noice). Upon selecting a color by clicking on it, then clicking on “OK” the hex value updates. Voila!
Note to support dept: There may or may not be an “Apply” button in Mac OS, but in Windows 11 it’s an “OK” button.
Suggestions to Topaz dev’s:
- Disable the ability to type into a value box if it is not going to work.
- Put a light colored frame around the color chip because if it’s black you can’t see it when using ‘Dark Mode’.
I hope this helps other users.
