This way I paint in the mask sometimes in all of them on the same area, or sometimes paint different parts on each of the layer's masks.
Although I think I'm still going overboard with the effect.

give me your opinion.

I have posted a a separate thread with a problem relating to this multiply layers.

How do you avoid having dark edges on the image after applying high-pass on these multiple layers? I can't seem to fix this.

Thanks

Yes I have! the problem is around the edges, especially with this particular image i'm working on that has objects on the face(see attached image). When I reveal the high-passes on the masks and avoid the edges,the transition doesn't work at all and more D&B doesn't do justice either.
