Linked layers, "smart" "live" or whatever masks


Recommended Posts

I suggest to take a look at Substance Painter , a soft for UV fixed textures.  It has "anchors"   a way for a mask to has  a reference/link  to any other layer alpha. color or whatever property.  Imo we need something like this in any image editor.  Preferably even more advanced thing, an ability to reference a mask to a certain combination of layers, outside images  or a calculating formula . maybe being updated by request or by some scripted condition. etc.   It's just impossible to keep everything within same mask stack.

 

Would be a nice elegant way to have a truly non-destructive workflow without a huge mess of nodes or complicated  and unreadable "group clipping" from Photoshop.   Yeah, Photoshop can do it nowadays actually but  amazingly  inconvenient.
