Masking multiple layers at the same time

[jrickards]

I had 4 layers and in one section, I wanted to create a mask that "drilled" down through 3 of the layers. It has been a while since I did that but I think that what I ended up doing was creating a selection from the layer mask on the top layer, then creating a layer mask from selection for the other two layers but I was wondering if there was a better way to do this. I tried grouping and the "chain" icon to see if what I did to one layer applied to the others in the group/chain but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jules
