Hi,

I'm creating a texture for a UVMap, and I want to erase parts of a layer to reveal the one underneath.

That's fine, it's easy to do... what I was wondering is, is there some way to save the erased areas (Black parts) and apply that same pattern of erasure to another layer?  Retaining any softness of erasure, because I'm using a soft brush with gaps in it, and want degrees of erasing.

Is this possible?

Create a mask for the initial layer and paint white to reveal the underlying texture.
You can copy this mask to any other layer. 

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

Thank you, I knew it had to be something simple.

I keep on forgetting about painting with white for a mask.
