lvl99 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I've selected a black and white pixel layer (no transparent pixels) with the mask tool, copied to clipboard (CMD + C), then edit a mask layer and trying to paste in the copied pixel layer data but it only keeps pasting a new Pixel layer instead of pasting the image data into the mask I'm editing. To me this isn't ideal behaviour! What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 4, 2017 Staff Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi lvl99, It's not possible to paste data directly into a mask. To achieve want you want duplicate the black&white pixel layer then go to menu Layer ▸ Rasterise To Mask to convert the duplicate into a mask.

lvl99 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Cool, thanks for that @MEB. I knew there'd be something, just wasn't sure where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvl99 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Is it possible that this "Rasterise to Mask..." could be included in the right-mouse context menu when clicking a layer? I use it a lot and it's annoying having to always go up to the "Layer > Rasterise as Mask..." option. When I right-click a layer it only has "Rasterise..." option (and probably why I didn't find it in my travels earlier). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
