Photo - Protecting Highlights/Shadows when using Adjustments


Recommended Posts

How does AFPhoto handle highlights and shadows when using Adjustment layers?

 

I can't see any way of telling AFPhoto what levels I want it to affect or at what point I want it to stop doing anything (there are no selection tools in the Adjustments dialogs) so what I'm asking, is how does AFPhoto decide where to 'tale off' or if you prefer, stop applying an adjustment in order to avoid clipping at either the 255 or 0 end of the scale?

 

It seems to allow things to stretch to 254, but can I set it lower if I want?

Grumpy, but faithful (watch out all you cats)

Before applying the adjustment you can select parts of the image that you want to adjust with the Selection Brush or Quick Mask. You then select the Shadows/Highlights Adjustment Layer and adjust the settings to get the required effect.
