I rarely use alpha lock because it is destructive editing and I have been conditioned by 30+ years of Photoshop to only use constructive editing techniques. I mainly use alpha lock as part of a shortcut for filling in complex shapes. I will turn on alpha lock > fill layer with new color > turn off alpha lock. Even then you can duplicate the layer before filling, in case you change your mind later. That's about it. I know that people like to use it to save layer space in Procreate, but there are other ways to do that which are not destructive. I think my favorite implementation of masking in digital editing has to be the ruby mask from Photoshop because you use it to basically 'paint' a selection and then convert it into a layer mask after, which is parallel to an old manual photography development technique called Rubylith, before Opaquing (what PS's layer mask mimics) was even invented.

I have been struggling to use my watercolor brushes, because they are ultimately transparent. So when I go to add a background color or texture it affects my watercolor painting. I have been unable to figure out an easy way to add a solid background (perhaps of white) to just the objects in my painting so that a background design doesn’t show on my painting. Do you have any tips that could help me overcome this? Thank you!

Can we use Clipping Masks and Layer Masks together effectively? I would love to see how that is managed for a mid to large piece.

Subscribed recently, such a helpful channel, thankyou (:

Why clipping mask might not be working with an only lines layer that I did with only text that I want to fill?🤔

Never use alpha lock in my life 😂 I use clipping mask for everything
