Masking with a greyscale image?

[Jinx]

Hello, can anyone please help?

I have a greyscale image which I would like to use as a mask on a cmyk image.

Once I have used the greyscale image as a mask on the cmyk image I would like the cmyk image to have various different levels of transparency as that of the greyscale image being used as the mask.

Hope this makes sense?

That should be no problem:
- place the greyscale image above th cmyk image
- ensure that the greyscale image is the active layer
- apply the menu command "Layer > Layer Mask > Convert For Previous"

Thanks for your help Martin

I've just tried what you advised and it works just how I want it to... bit different to photoshop but easier once you know how!

Cheers!
