Help! Using Corel PhotoPaint 2019.
I'm trying to use a color mask to trim off the red part of an object which is around the object's periphery. Here's an image, As you can see there's a thin red edge all around the periphery of this coin.
The entire coin is an object. I use the "picker tool" to select the red periphery (edges) and wish to create a mask so I can remove them.
However, when I use the color mask tool I either get no mask or it selects blotches in the inside of the coin even though I select just the red color picks.
I then go to either regular mode or HSB where I can pick against Hue, Saturation, or Brightness. I tried selecting "Hue" only which hopefully would just select the red but no luck. However, nothing I pick can select just those red edges. Also what does sensitivity against Black or White do? They seem to do the same thing.
Of course I can't use Magic Wand tool for this as it has a different purpose.
Any help would be appreciated greatly. I never really got adept with masks in Photopaint.
I have never had good luck with the "Color Mask" tool in PhotoPaint. I do have an easy workaround though that may be better suited to your needs:
Thanks so much. I've also had problems with the Color Mask tool. I think Corel put all the efforts into the new Mask from Shape tool that one finds in version 2020 & on.
