[APh] Instancing A Mask Between Layers

[soulburn]

Sometimes you want a mask to affect multiple layers, and the layers are in radically different parts of your layer stack, making grouping those layers impossible. It would be great if you could instance a mask between layers, so you apply the mask to layer 1, then apply the same mask to layer 2, and if you modify either mask, its instanced version is modified as well.

As per normal, I fully agree with Neil!

Agree, but this issue doesn't just apply to masks... Adjustment layers too.

 

If masks/adjustments could be defined as a Symbol, then one change would update all layers where the mask/adjustment was applied.

[soulburn]

I would probably use it less for adjustment layers, but sure, I can see the advantage of that too.

I would LOVE to see this implemented! It would be a huge time-saver when working with masks.
