need SIMPLE implementation of copying/ pasting chosen layer into a mask and mask manipultation


Recommended Posts

As this issue apparently goes back at least two years, a simple way of copying a current layer into a mask and then being able to manipulate the mask only (with curves, etc) is highly suggested!  In Photoshop, one could select a current layer and, while holding alt or ctrl, drag the layer into a mask either on the same layer or another layer.  This image as a new mask could then be easily manipulated with curves or other adjustments.

What happens if you right-click on the mask and choose Edit Mask? I have just shut down my desktop so I cannot try this myself till morning.
