P: Clipping mask to a Layer group?

Just one of those things that i've always thought could come in REALLY handy. I have no idea how the actuality of this function would work due to all the possible complexities of the contents within a layer group... but wow, i often think i'd love to clip some adjustment layers to a Layer Group. I am aware of the Pass through to Normal feature but it doesn't really cut it.

You can only create clipping mask TO a group. But you can't createa clipping mask ON a group. That's ridiciculos. Why Clip Studio Paint can do it, and Photoshop is missing so useful and basic function 12 years after this post?

the request is to take a group that is above a layer, alt+click between the two, and make the group what is being clipped by the layer below. 

the group resides within the single layer of pixel data below OR a group is nested into another group.

I was at first doubtful about this request, but I'm now wishing the opposite: be able to group layers clipped in a clipping mask!

...and in the full version as well. Nice! :)

Nesting clipping masks is next then? 😉

You can now apply a clipping mask to a group in Photoshop CS6 Beta:

Doesn't address the clipping issue, but at least f/x are now allowed on Layer Groups in PS13

Tom,

Yes, you're right it does work... I was definitely doing something wrong with the group.
