The new layer masking feature is awesome, but

As the Subject Header reads, the new layer mask feature is an awesome addition to the game and I have found quite a few uses for it. However, there is a small tweak I’d like to be made if at all possible.

As the system stands, any layer that is a mask will mask any layers below it. This is fine, but I’d like to limit how far the masking layer masks down the layer order. For instance, if a layer mask is included in a layer group, I’d like for the mask to only affect the layer group it is in, and nothing else. Or if I have a mask layer and there are about 5 layers below it, I may only want to mask the first 3 layers below it. I know that sounds like a lot of work, so I can just settle on the layer group aspect if at all possible.

Thanks for adding this feature in and I look forward to seeing how more features might be added in the future.

Been requested within 5 minutes of the mask being added, would be a massive help to painters and creating blends colour bleeds etc.
