| Re: How do I turn a b&w image into a mask? DaVinci, welcome to Retouch Pro. In the channel palette of your B&W image select all and Copy. Now go to the image containing your layer mask. Alt+Click on the Layer Mask. Then Ctrl V to paste the grayscale image into the layer mask. Once agian Alt+Click the layer mask to return to the normal layer view. Regards, Murray |

| Re: How do I turn a b&w image into a mask? Or simpler: 1. In the channels panel, ctrl/cmd-click on the RGB channel (loads selection). 2. Now go to your layer and click the little "Add layer mask" button in your layers panel. If your layer already had a blank mask delete that first, or simply fill your selection with Black and then deselect. ctrl/cmd-i to invert if needed. |
