Replace part of an image in photoshop using a black and white matte
Hi guys, I am exporting an image from Cinema 4d. I also export a mask matte for certain parts of the image I want to change in post processing, a black and white version of part of the image.
I know I can change colours with an adjustment layer.
How would I add an image to that or replace an existing image?
Any help is most appreciated.

Hi, Keith.
1. Drop your black and white mask into the document and copy it to the clipboard like this:
Ctrl+A to select all, then with your C4D mask selected, ctrl+C to copy. Turn off the layer and ctrl+D to deselect.
2. Add a new adjustment layer, then hold the alt key while clicking the layer mask (see red X in the image below). When it opens, ctrl+V to paste.
3. Click on another layer to return to the main view.
