 I have a design that I want to screen print to a shirt.  It is 4 colors.  Each color I have separated onto separate layers.  I added a texture to the whole design and it looks how I want, but the problem now, is that everything after adding he mask, adds the design all onto one layer, and its grouped.  So I cant view each color separately with the effct added to it.  And when sending to the screen printer, I dont know how to have the effect on each separate color.  Anyway to do that, other than just adding the mask to each individual color layer?

    So you have applied an opacity mask?

     

    What you can do is the following:

    1. Make all the "color layers" childrenof an additional layer

    2. target that additional layer

    3. apply the opacity mask to that additional layer

     

    The other layers stay intact and can be turned on or off

    if you want just check the appearance, expend the final layer in Layers panel and turn Off the visibility of unwanted (for checking purposes) paths and groups. Then turn them all On again.

    If I understood the issue wrong, kould you show at least a screenshot with the problem description?
