Paste image on layer mask

Hello,

I've been having this problem for several hours:

I have a black and white image1 and I want to use it to create a mask layer for another image2, but I can't do it.

If I copy image1 and paste it onto the mask layer of my image2, it creates a new layer of image1 above my image2.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 38.0

    Hi,
    The solution:
    1) Select the black and white image that serves as a mask with a selection tool and copy (ctrl + C)
    2) Create and display the mask by holding Alt + Left Click on the mask. The area turns white.
    3) Paste (ctrl + V)
    4) Click on another layer or use the same keys to hide it.

    See you later
    :)
