After upgrading to the latest Pixelmator Pro 2.3.1 I no longer can use the mask. That is, black regions on the mask do not show the content of the layer below. Yesterday I sent a support request, and did not yet get a reply, hence this post. Can anybody else reproduce this issue?

Here is a test case that based on the mask is supposed to show a red "TE":

I am using MacBook Pro on maxOS Catalina 10.15.7 (19H1217)

Also, where can I download the previous version so that I can downgrade until this is fixed?

I confirm. Same here after 2.3.1. Painting over the mask with any color seems to have no effect on layer transparency.

We've just pushed version 2.3.2 to the App Store with a fix for this – if it hasn't downloaded automatically, open up the Updates tab in App Store, press the Command-R keyboard shortcut, and the update should appear. If you can, please do let us know if it fixes the issue for you! :pray:

Thanks Andrius for the quick fix. I do not yet see 2.3.2 in the App Store; I'll check tomorrow.

Related, please see at this enhancement suggestion for masks: https://www.pixelmator.com/community/vi ... 15&t=19264

Ah, App store did not show the update, but when I went to the Pixelmator App in the App Store I could update it to 2.3.2. However, that version did not fix the issue:

How can I downgrade to an older version that works?

Unfortunately, both issues (with masks and with shapes) still present in 2.3.2.

Looks like only the fix for the Resize Size shortcut issue made it to v2.3.2. We'll do our best to ship 2.3.3 with the rest of the fixes ASAP. Sorry about that!

@Aurelija: I can't really use your product until this is fixed. How can I downgrade to an older version that works? Please let me know, I already asked several times.

Edit: I saw that I got an email with a download link, but that only gives an "access denied" message.

Pixelmator Pro 2.3.3 with a fix is now available from the App Store. You'd simply need to update your app to the latest version and everything should run smoothly again. ;)
