ApvdG Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I start tyo understand the concept of masks, and how to mask individual adjustments / layers. I was looking however for a way to have several adjustments (e.g. "levels" and "White Balance"), but then crate one mask that masks the two adjustments. Is that possible?

HVDB Photography Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Hi @ApvdG Try this: Add a White Balance Adjustment layer and mask out the unwanted parts Open the Channels panel Right Click on "White Balance Adjustment Alpha" and select "Create Spare Channel" Add a Levels Adjustment layer Now right click on the spare channel and select "Load To Levels Adjustment Alpha" Hubert Greyfox 1 Quote Affinity Photo 2.3.1 Laptop MSI Prestige PS42 Windows 11 Home 23H2 (Build 22631.3007) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.00 GHz - RAM 16,0 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApvdG Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Thanks for your reply. It looks like there is not a simple intuitive way to do this... I tried what you proposed, but did not really succeed (I had two adjustments, created the spare channel having one of the two adjustments selected, then wanted to "load it" to the other adjustment, but "loading" was only offered fir the initial adjustment).

Ron P. Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Add your Adjustment Layers so they're not nested. Then select them all, and Group them. Then apply a Mask to the Group of Adjustment Layers. The mask for the Group will affect all Adjustment Layers in that Group.
