folofol Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 I have an adjustment. How do I take its mask, to reuse it? The only obvious solutions I see are to screenshot it; or try to make the masked adjustment a single color, which I can then easily select Quote
maxegb Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 i do not know about v2,but in v1 if i wanted to use the same mask for multiple adjustments i always put a mask on it instead of painting directly on the adjustment. that mask can be duplicated and reused. Quote

One of the easiest and most versatile ways is to select the adjustment layer that you have masked, go to the channels panel Right click on the adjustment alpha and create a spare channel, if you are likely to be using a few then rename to something meaningful In your layers panel select the adjustment that you want to add the mask to and load the spare channel to the newly selected adjustment alpha Quote
folofol Posted November 13, 2022 Author Posted November 13, 2022 Thanks maxegb & Murfee for your help! Great solutions Ok, so I'll try to always make a mask first. But if I forget, then I'll create spare channels.. Murfee 1 Quote

Could you please explain how you do this, while keeping your separate mask from affecting everything else too? So you put the adjustment later into a group, then put the mask above that in the group? Or do you drop an empty pixel layer onto the thumbnail of the adjustment layer (short, vertical, blue drop-zone, in V1)? Quote

Or do you drop an empty pixel layer onto the thumbnail of the adjustment layer (short, vertical, blue drop-zone, in V1)? make an adjustment (say, an hsv adjustment) click on it to select it, click on the mask key. the mask is now added as a child of the adjustment. Paint on the mask and not on the adjustment as you see fit. click on the mask and copy it. apply another adjustment (curve). click to select, paste the mask. Quote

The only obvious solutions I see are to screenshot it; or try to make the masked adjustment a single color, which I can then easily select Fastest way is to use Have the adjustment layer chosen in layer stack Selection>Select from Layer create new mask (from active selection). If required, to remove mask from original adjustment layer by layers panel, choose adjustment layer alpha, select … and Fill Alpha.
