Copying a mask?

[ewormuth]

I do a lot of texture work and create depth by using several layers and different blending modes. I wind up masking and remasking the same thing on multiple layers -- is there a way to copy the mask on one layer and paste it onto another? I know I can drag a mask to a different layer, but that removes the first one.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hold Alt key while moving the mask.

save your mask / selection as a channel.

Ctrl+click the existing mask. Now click the add mask icon on another layer and it will duplicate the mask. Ctrl+i to invert the mask if needed.
