Pasting pixel data into mask layer


Recommended Posts

Currently copying and pasting pixel data from one layer to another always creates source layer copy. But sometimes this is really unwanted.

Are there any way to paste data INSIDE selection in other layer without creating new layer with pasted data?

Hit Cmd+E after pasting.

Unfrotunately this is not the same, comparing to "normal pasting" - Joining kills grouping, Layers Links, etc etc...
Also, this is not working the same way everywhere in outline (masks, layers added to other layers, etc...)

Answering my own question - this is possible, but cucumbersome. Via spare channels
1) create spare channel from pixel data of source layer

2) load spare channel to pixel channel in target layer

For RGB 1-2 should be repeated for each channel // For BW it is easier. But it can be recorded in macro
