Instance Layers

An ”Instance Layer” would be a linked copy of a layer, that inherits all edits.

Like a light version of ”Smart Object”.

Why?

- You make a copy of a layer, to mix it in with another blendmode. With an ”Instance Layer”, edits in the layer would not require to remake the copy.

- Reuse layer in different groups.

- File size will be smaller.

”Instance Group” is next step.

”Instance Mask” maybe?
