I don't think so, but could you possibly try to add a layer mask to a layer called 'Background'? It is not a seperate plugin or something, it is an essential part of how Photoshop works. Making a mask is actually adding an extra channel to your r, g and b. Does that work, in the channel tab? In that case I can thing about a workaround, but firstly the double clicking on the layer (to create 'Layer 0') would have to be ruled out. Let me know! Hoof

is the "quick mask" icon greyed out??

hoof's right, masks are part of the editable layer functionality but they don't work for background layers. that layer is locked, unless double-click to make it a "normal" layer...
