Hi,  
is there a way to use the depth filtering from paint also for masking?  
Convert paint to mask or so?

New version will give you an workaround.  
There will be a layer to mask option.  
In short:  
In 1.66 you can paint on a layer with depth filtering.  
Then, in layer menu, choose mask symbol right to color.
