Is there a way to make a layer with opacity show the layer beneath it?
I can achieve the result I want by exporting the opacity map, then re-importing it and using it as a mask, but there must be a more streamlined way to do it. I've tried all the blending modes, including on just the opacity channel for the layer, but nothing seems to work.
Am I missing something?
PS: But, if I place the layers in the stack, the opacity from the rattan layer affects all the layers beneath it.
If you want an output to be solid but show the oak material, through the gaps in the rattan material, then try adding :
1. A fill layer at the bottom of the stack with only the opacity enabled and set to 1 (white)
2. On the Rattan layer a "mask with height combination" which actually adds a compare mask for which you can choose whichever channel you want for the compare. I've left it at 'height'. You may need to adjust the height of the oak material
