Advanced Member popwfx Posted April 12, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Is there an existing Mantis for linking Layers? I know there is one for Layer groups which I strongly need, but I've just found a need for linking layers as well. What I'd like to do is link layers so brush strokes affect all of the selected or linked layers. I like to keep layers independent of channels sometimes (at least until we get better control over the color, depth or spec channels within a layer) - For example, I might have a face and have a separate layer for color, one for depth and one for spec. This lets me swap & change options quickly, by say using the same depth with a different color layer etc by setting their visibilities. So if I want to do a brush stroke like a smudge - I'd like the *exact same brush stroke* on all 3 layers I select or link (momentarily). So if I change a wrinkle by the mouth, it changes for the depth layer, the spec layer and the color layer even though they are independent layers. I guess I could achieve this by duplicating layers then collapsing the dupes to one layer and then smudging that, but dynamic linking and unlinking of layers seems like it could be useful.... any thoughts anyone?
