I have a million layers and I want to set one of the layers to overlay and only affect one or two layers, not just any below. Is this possible? I can achieve what I want in other ways, but I just thought I'd ask to see if it was possible.

Would clipping the overlay layer to the layer below work for you?(layer:creat clipping mask)....if you can't clip them all together duplicate your overlay layer and clip a version to each layer you want it to affect?

Yeah, I would do it with Clipping Mask as well. Alternatively, you can select the transparency of the layers you want to be affected and mask those areas on your Overlay layer. Er, did this make sense to you?

Hi Dumpduck!

Press ctrl+alt+g (cmd+alt+g for mac) on your overlay layer. An arrow will appear in the layer-bar pointing to the layer under-neath (means it's only affecting the layer below). Do it again for the layer you want to add or move the layer in between the both of them.

Hope this solves your problem!

Kind regards,

Garry
