Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/mask-opacity-slider-stuck.
No crawler ever captured this particular thread, so the text below — taken straight from the forum database — is the only copy left.
Answers may refer to older versions of Ansel, and image attachments did not survive the shutdown. Current discussion happens on GitHub Discussions .

In version bf56ad8, but already for several days, the mask opacity slider in the darkroom below left of the current image seems to be stuck, at maybe 95%. Consequently, retouching spots leaves a faint outline of the offending spot. I’m not sure what to make of the tool tip “This works only after a mask has been selected by click.”; I tried to click various masks but still was unable to move the slider. So far I’m not using a Wacom tablet.
