I have a black and white image I want to use this layer as a transparency/opacity mask to another layer of the same dimensions. Is it possible to import the existing black and white image as the layer mask as opposed to manually painting in the mask?

Thanks! Cool

Sure.

Just Cmd+click on the black and white layer. (To make a selection of it)

Click on the other layer and make a layer mask from your selection.
