he Compound Vignette Method for Managing Eye Movement

Vignettes work by darkening the edge of an image so that the eye moves away from it and back into the main part of the image. A compound vignette works by using additional methods to achieve this eye-bouncing effect, including adjustment of saturation and sharpness. The reverse effect can also be used, for example by sharpening and brightening only those areas which you want to attract the eye. Here's an easy method to achieve this effect.

A quicker way to copy a mask is to hold alt and drag it to the layer required. An alternative approach is to create a group for all the adjustment layers and use a single mask on the group, though this requires further work if an individual layer needs the mask to be modified.

Helpful tip! Thanks. I didn't know that (always more to learn with AP).

... having said that, the alt-drag method sadly method doesn't seem to work for built-in adjustment masks.
