Convert Adjustment Layer Mask into "Normal" Mask


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

in an adjustment layer I painted in a mask. Later on I wanted another adjustment layer to have the same mask. Since it is not a simple mask, i would like to copy the mask or even better to extract the mask from the existing adjustment layer and paste it into a normal mask, which I can then move around in my layers as I need to.

 

Is there a way to do so? I did not find anything on that.

 

Greetings

Hi Maultierhirsch,

Go to the channels panel, select the corresponding adjustment alpha channel, right-click on it and select Create Mask Layer. You can then duplicate the mask as needed and attach/nest it to another adjustment. To clear the mask from an existing adjustment, right-click the respective adjustment alpha in the Channels panel and select Clear.
