I had this cituation yesterday. I needed to mask sharpening at the upper and lower part of an image, so I used the gradient tool to paint the mask. Half was done OK. But it would not work for the secopnf time on the mask and I could not load a second mask on the layer.
I ended up making a B&W layer, selecting and converting it to a selection, then making a mask out of it. Job done.
Question is is there a way to combine various masks into one, other than the method i did, or by merging 2 layers of the sharpening with a respective mask each (which I just now figured and heven't tried yet)
thanks beforehand, Kostas
