Apply filters on a mask layer

[totjoss]

Hi everyone,

I still wish there were destructive filters (instead of only live ones). But the reason to this post is to find an efficient way to alter a mask layer using filters.
Indeed, a trick I often used to do on Photoshop (but also Krita) is to sharpen a mask layer using brightness/contrast or curve filters. As a mask layer is a greyscale pixel matrix, this should be totally possible.

A sample of what a curve on a mask layer could produce :

I tried to add a filter under a mask layer - it is possible but nothing happens.

However, I've just been trying a dynamic filter (blur, sharpen) and it works on a mask layer ! But unfortunately we can't merge the filter it, so we couldn't re-edit the mask layer afterwards with a pencil.

It looks like basic filters on mask layer is a feature not implemented, I wish it was ! Especially as it goes along with the dynamic filter working.

Hi,

You can create a layer-mask which is a normal layer and therefore works with all Adjustments.
Try this method:

So, the old problem still exists. Since 2017.

It would be nice to get blur to the mask layer without releasing it first.
