Yes, this would be a great feature and we are definitely considering adding it to Meld. We'd recommend using other type overlay apps (that are made especially for it and therefore do it well) as part of your workflow - there are a number of apps available some of which are free on both iOS and iPhone. We'll keep you posted if/when we add this to the Meld dev roadmap.

With max compression with jpgs and larger export sizes these artefacts have been severely reduced and removed in most instances. We are closing this bug but will continue to improve the output quality moving forward.

Hi Linda, just wanted to say a big thank you for these details. We are still investigating the issue. We have also taken onboard what you have desired regarding masking. We are working towards some new features for masking that will make large area masking alot easier. These new mask features are on the roadmap post release.

Both Leonardo and PS TOuch a re full blown editing suites that Meld is not - though we appreciate their feature set and will strive to deliver tools that people want. Thanks

Just a quick update on this. As of last beta image compression should be max quality and therefore should improve the quality of images as your edit under goes multiple flattens or save - re-imports.

Hi there... we are so sorry that this has happened whilst doing your masking. We have not seen this problem before and would like to solve it as soon as possible. 

Can you please tell us the following:

1.) DEVICE MAKE & MODEL:
What exact device are you working on?

2.) OS VERSION:
What software version is your device running?

3.) HOW MANY LAYERS AND MASKS?
Did you have max layers and a mask for each of those layers?

4.) WHAT WAS YOUR EXPORT SIZE?
Where you using the default or a larger export size?

5.) ANY OTHER DETAILS:
Is there anything else you can tell us about the bug that may help?


The masking system is a unique beast that once mastered is quite powerful but we can see how it can seem quite cumbersome to use. We are looking at ways to making this better for everyone. Please let us know what kind of masking system would work best for you or has done so in the past?

Yes, features to come will be magic wand and various styles of gradient masks. 

Thank you for your feedback
