Shale and similar kinds of layered brittle rocks don't really behave the same way granite or harder rocks do, in the winter the water will go into the layers and freeze expand exploding and cracking the rock, breaking it apart much faster than the water can polish and shape it in other ways. Shale is so brittle you can…
Layer Groups apply the mask to all the layers within the Layer Group, that is not always the desired result. I wouldn't say smart objects are painful to Ps performance, the only time they are painful is when system resources are weak, web graphics and so forth, any system can handle, obviously 4K images will depending on…

For example, editing a single rust layer's mask via Dynamask custom mask painting will propagate that mask change to the other…
