Every time I open a jpg / gif and want to copy it into Photoshop…a new layer is created when I carry out the paste operation.

While this is what anyone would generally want, there have been numerous occasions when you’d want to paste into the active layer. How can this be achieved?

The thing is that I have on layer prepared with all the masking that I need…and I need to only replace the image in the active layer and export the output… Copying the mask everytime a new layer is created seems to tedious…especially when you have about 100 images…and creating an action just didn’t seem right…

Any suggestions? … would really appreciate any inputs on this
