I've run into a problem with pasting a layer copy into a raster mask in CS3. This can normally be done by option-clicking on the appropriate mask icon in the layers pane and then pasting the contents. The pasted contents are then converted to a grayscale mask.
However, when I record an action of the process, the layer is not pasted into the mask, but rather into a new layer above the selected layer. I would like to batch process files with the action, but can't do so if it is unable to properly paste into the layer mask. The CS3 help documentation only briefly covers pasting into the mask as it is, and I've been unable to find anything via google, so I was wondering if anybody here has any insights into this issue. Thanks.
