Mask Effect Options for Battlemaps Styles
With the release of 2.0, mask effect options were removed for battlemaps styles.
Many members of the community have voiced they would like to have them returned across social media platforms
This could be accomplished by reintroducing the mask layer on launch, or by being able to add a layer with mask effect properties.

We will add them back. By default they are still hidden, but it will be possible to add a land layer with layer masks to any map style

What you can do instead is use a world map as a battlemap

Yeah, this feature was so good to make caves and underground complexes without having to do shadows for walls. I am right now using the regional style to make battlemaps for I can use the tool there.

So I can't have shadows and outlines on my layers now? It was so useful for battlemaps. Huge loss.

This tool was really great for simple and quick dungeon and tunnel maps. It made it very easy to distinguish between the foreground and the actual background. Having the option to have more layers is great, and will be using that more often to distinguish different verticality, the mask tool made it seamless without the need for the line tool, where it didn't feel right to use.

Not having "Insert Land Mask" feels like a shocking omission when 2.0 has otherwise brought so many upgrades. More options for creativity are always a win, and I'm definitely feeling its omission for battlemaps with water features & the likes.

There are some really pain points with 2.0, I really dont like much of the new features esp losing the auto foreground/background and shovel tool that made quick dungeons easy to build.

100%, this new way takes waaaay longer. I really don't like 2.0. If I was an artist I wouldnt have gravitated to inkarnate to begin with

I completely agree. The addition of layers is great but now there's no good way to add a stroke to the edge of a layer or the ripple effect that was possible when the mask tool was still available. Having both options on all maps would be great!
