Option to drag a mask from one layer to another layer
@ellestone
Submitted by Elle Stone Link to original bug (#757679)
Description
Very often I want to add a mask to layer B, but the mask itself needs to be a grayscale copy of layer A.
Currently the procedure is to:
- Select layer A.
- Add the grayscale mask to layer A.
- Do "mask to selection" to turn the mask into a selection.
- Select layer B.
- Add the selection as a mask to layer B, which requires changing the "add mask" dialog from "grayscale" to "selection".
- Select "none" to release the selection.
- Go back to layer A and delete the mask.
It would be nice if the grayscale mask on layer A (Step 2 above), could just be dragged to layer B, turning the process from a 7-step to a 3-step process.
