Hi Guys

I need some advice on how to lighten selective areas of an image. Basically on my illustration I've got a main highlight layer that is feathered gradually intensifying inwards but on a layer below I've got some other highlights that I want to intensify but only where the main highlight above is (keeping the gradual effect of the above layer) . The lower highlights are only thin low opacity white lines and would like the above main highlight layer to alter the intensity of these lines but only on these lines so it doesn't affect any layers below these 2 highlight layers.

A bit difficult to explain..

Is there a way to use the graduating transparent pixel information from the main highlight layer above to only affect the pixel information on the layer directly below without affecting any layers below them?

Thanks for your time guys

Warm regards

Clint
