It took some time, but I feel like getting a grip on using layer masks as a means to blend two layers together.
Until now I use either the brushtool or the gradient tool in the layer mask to decide on which parts of a layer has what opacity / transparency value.
I thought it should / would be possible to use a (grayscale) image instead of the brushtool or gradient tool to do that: the darker parts of that grayscale image make the corresponding layer more transparent.
If I try to do that I cannot get that grayscale image on the layer mask. Instead of that Photoshop simply makes another layer.
Does anyone know if this is possible at all, or is it just a silly idea.
Thanks
