Non-destructive Bezier curve layer mask - svensby - 10-28-2021

Hello,
Is there a way to mask a layer using a Bezier curve (non-destructively so that the curve can later be altered with the path editor and the mask altered too).

Thanks.
Sven

If you want to use a path as an interactive way of adjusting a shape in a layer mask, then no.  There are some tools that work, such as the warp tool.

A layer mask is same as any layer, a path can be used to re-create the layer mask, but it is dump the old mask, make a new mask.
