Hallo - I’m a noob and am following the splendid tutorials in zclassroom. I have hit a problem though. I want to mask using an alpha in drag rectangle. However whenever I press and hold control, the stroke type switches to freehand. I have hunted around the net, can’t seem to find anything that specifically addresses this problem. Which probably means I am really missing something obvious. If anyone can tell me how to use drag rectangle to mask with an alpha I will be most grateful. Many thanks - LF
holding control changes all of the attributes of the brush.
so hold control, and then change your stroke and alpha, that should get you all set.
Thanks mate, works a treat 
well grateful for your help!
