SKS layer mask question

SKS6.2 on Vista

July 31, 2008 8:50 PM from

I've been playing around with the new layers feature and it's driving me crazy. I can't seem to get masks to work. I'm trying to ad a layer on the caption window border, and every time I import a mask image it say 'The parameter is incorrect' I've tried using .png .bmp and .tga with alpha channel also. I've tried making it the same size as the layer and the top frame image. Ive also tried using grayscale. Nothing has worked.
So, anyone figure this layers feature out yet?
Help is much appriciated.

You shouldn't be importing a coloring mask from the masks tab.... go to layers tab, add new layer..'select' it from list...go back to image tab, import your new layer, adjust margins ect..done.

Hope this helps Patrick.

Ok, I get it now. I thought it was a image mask, and not for colouring. I had a different concept in my brain of how layers work.
Silly mistake.
Thanks.
