    "Blend If" Frustrations (please help)

      While working on this image I experienced some issues that I hope someone can help with...

      Adjust some blending settings...

      So far so good...

      Now here is where I run into trouble.

      I would like to take the resulting opaque area of this layer and fill it with a solid color, while maintaining the live "Blend If" settings...

      I've experimented with knockout/clipping masks linked to fill layers, but the "Blend If" settings are ignored.

      (One solution is to create nested smart objects but I'm looking for realtime feedback.)

       

      Anyone have an solution/workaround?

       

      Thanks!
