The dropdown arrow in the top right of the layers tool will allow you to "fill" the mask in. This is also helpful as a shortcut to filling in the center of a complicated mask - i.e. just paint the entire outside edge of a barn and push "fill" and the rest of the barn will be filled in.I can't decide if it's a bug or a feature, but if you paint with 30% opacity, then discover that you missed a spot, it's almost impossible to fill it in. Painting over the area with another stroke of 30% will fill in the hole, but will double paint the overlap. There doesn't seem (at first glance) to be a way to add to an existing stroke.
My biggest problem is that exporting an image from a catalog fails to export the local adjustment masks. With Sessions, I would archive selects by exporting as EIP, but that doesn't seem possible from a catalog. I'd be happy to make a special "Selects Catalog" for backup, but I don't see how to do even that. I've tried different settings, and trashing plist files from older installations, but still no LAM on export. Anyone else having this problem? I'm using OS X 10.8 on both desktop and laptop. Same behavior on both.
I'd expect additional import/export/merging actions will be added to the cataloging feature. Right now if you export "with adjustments" Capture One puts the adjustments in a side-car folder named "Capture One" wherever you put the raw file. I'd prefer to see a direct-to-EIP option and while I can't promise it will happen I'd be surprised if it didn't.
