Density controls for masks.

What features would you like to see in Pixelmator Pro?

I saw this neat trick to make it easier to refine cutting out an object where a white layer is added underneath and the density of the layer is tweaked where you're able to see the picture (sort of an outline) of where it needs to be refined.

Hi Dean. While there's no dedicated mask density adjustment in Pixelmator Pro, the regular color adjustments should also work here. With the mask selected, try cranking up the Exposure of the Lightness adjustment to 200% — the areas beyond your selection should then show up. You can adjust additional settings for stronger or fainter visibility of the mask. Once you're done refining the mask, you can then turn off the Lightness adjustment or reset it.
