As soon as you create a layer mask, it acts on the image. The Disable Layer Mask command allows you to suspend this action. When you click on the menu entry, a check is displayed next to it and the border of the layer mask's thumbnail in the Layers Dialog turns red.

#### 10.33.1. Activating the Command

- You can access this command from the image menubar through Layer → Mask → Disable Layer Mask,

- or by holding down the Alt key (Ctrl-Alt on some systems) and single-clicking on the layer mask's thumbnail in the Layers Dialog.

- You can undo this action by unchecking the menu entry in the LayerMask menu or by Alt-clicking (or Ctrl-Alt-clicking) again on the layer mask's thumbnail.
