Local brushing on Luminosity masks for exposure blending
Answered
Hi everyone,
something I really miss from Photoshop days.
Working on multiple bracketed layers for exposure blending, (Underexposed on top, overexposed on the bottom)
I applied a Lumin Mask on the top layer mask and played with the level slider to taste, Now the two-players are blended,
But I want to brush in specific areas of the Lumin Mask, (I do not want to brush out the other areas)
as far as I know, The brush on On1 will override Lumin mask,
In Photoshop I used to make the adjustment on the top layer, then put in in a group, apply a black mask on the group then paint in white where I want the effect o to be applied.
I did not find a way to do this in layers,
Thank you

Try Merging the two layers you've blended with the luminosity mask. Turn off the visibility of all other layers then use either the Merge Layer or New Stamped Layer command. If you use the option New Stamped Layer the original layers will be kept and merged into a new Layer. In this case, turn off the visibility of those 2 layers. Now you can Invert the Layer Mask and paint it back in as desired after reenabling the visibility of the next lower layer.

Thank you Brian,
It works, but it is rather complicated ,
I hope new versions will have this solved

It get easier as you get used to doing it. :) The reason you have to hide the other layers is to prevent them from being merged along with the two layers you are trying to merge.
Glad it worked for you.
