Hi all.
Just a few questions on masks and selections (PS 6).
1...Can I paste a black & white image on to a layer mask to control the transparency/opacity of that layer. I know I can paint on a mask with black & white but I can't work out how to use an image as my layer mask.
2...Is it possible to make a selection of only what is visible through a layer mask.
3...Is it possible to make a selection from a black & white (blurred) image layer so that the blurred (grey) pixels are selected as black pixels of varying transparency. Ultimately I want an alpha channel of the blurred black & white image, but as shades of black on a transparent background.
Many thanks.
