Hi All, this has been driving me crazy... BUT I am happy to have an Adobe alternative! I am trying to select the neutral tones within this artists exhibition photo without selecting the hues and values of his art work. I use curves and levels etc... but  I used to this kind of adjustment easily in Photoshop for more precise editing. I need to tweak the white walls of this artists exhibition photo to a bit less warm and lighten. Would you advise to do this via live layers with overlay setting somehow? I need a nudge in the right direction. Photo attached, it's a bit dark.

Thoughts?

Thanks, SaraL 😅

You get faster results using the rectangular selection tool, or using a compound shape of multiple rectangles.

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.

For this particular photo, the suggestion by @NotMyFault is by far the easiest. For a more generic solution (also, by the way, encouraged by a post from @NotMyFault) try this method with associated macro.
