All I want to do is paste into the channel mask of a layer, this is where GIMP has a big win. Right click, then select create greyscale copy of layer as mask. Yay, exactly what I want to do.
Photoshop has an all or nothing approach, reveal all or reveal none, to create an all black or all white mask, I then have to paste to the mask, but to paste to the mask I have to enable/make it visible first.
The easiest way:
Alt-Click the layer mask. (To enable direct editing of the layer mask)
Ctrl-V to paste into the layer mask.
The slightly more convoluted way:
Click on the channels list, then click on the eye next to mask layer to make it visible/editable.
Ctrl-V to paste into the layer mask.
Further, if you want to automate the paste into mask, you need to use Ctrl-Shift-V.
