Let’s say you have a layer with a layer mask. The layer mask contains a gradient like image (white to black to white) causing partical visibility of some of the image data in the layer it masks. Now, say you want to tweak the gradient mask using a Levels adjustment layer. You create such a layer and put it above the masked layer in question. However, the adjustment layer applies to the image data and not the layer mask.
– Is it possible to have the adjustment layer apply only to the layer mask and not the actual image data?
– Is there a better/easier way to achieve the same effect? The effect being to use a level adjusment layer to tweak the mask applied to a layer containing image data. I’ve tried several things including layer clipping groups, but cannot achieve the same effect as a layer mask.
Thanks,
Mike
