How to use a black & white image as a laye mask

[3dj]

Hi, just do a command click on a channel to load the values of each pixel. Go to the layer you want to have masked, add a mask and the selection will automatically load into the mask. YOu may end up wanting to invert the mask (click on mask> command i ) .

I'll do this sometimes, using the mask as a positive for one color and a negative for another color. Then adjusting levels on the masks to make them either separate or overlap a bit.

Hope that helps.
