How to disable gradient sharing from clipping mask to all masked layers above?

Engaged ,
Jul 29, 2020 Jul 29, 2020

I believe since some of the relatively recent updates (correct me if im wrong, but thats not really important) the layer that is used as clipping mask for masked layers above it, started sharing its effect like gradient overlay to all masked layers above it.

 

Is there a way to disable it?

I dont want to automatically apply gradient overlay's effect to everything that is masked. I just want the gradient to be on the layer that is background as well as being a clipping shape. Right now i have to do workarounds like removing the gradient from the main shape that serves as both bg and mask shape's source, duplicating the layer right above it, connect the duplicates as clipping mask and masked layer, and enable gradient on the duplicate. That way everything in the clippimg mask stack dont share the gradient. Thats not optimal.

 

Would love some toggle option for that.

Hi, is it a custom shape? use a gradient fill instead as an overlay. Applying layer style to the base of a clipping groups affect clipped layers, that how I remember it for years...
