redcram got a reaction from Christos Pro in Simple cropping question - how do I crop a single layer???
Ok, thank you, perhaps a simple cropping tool for layers could be included in the next update?

No problem... and thanks :)
(I guess as long as the curve is editable and not rasterized it can be considered "smart" as in AI)
1) give your shape a fill (no stroke). Any color is fine, it just needs to be at 100% opacity.
2) drag it onto the thumbnail of your spoon copy. A vertical blue line should appear next to the thumb and a realtime preview of the effect should happen. Drop it there. (FYI, this is opposed to dragging it slightly under and to the the right of the thumbnail where a shortened horizontal blue line will appear. This is the "child" position. Not what you want here but worth playing around with!)
3) give the blue layer a Multiply blending method (in the dropdown that says normal). This will let the shadows of the original work with the blue.

No answer for a one button solution.....And...Up to you to determine what's "easy"...
But surely on shapes like these drawing a custom mask has got to be easier than adding and subtracting pixels around the perimeter with the selection brush.
... 'bout two/three minutes with the pen.
