Title: Lumninance values in CS3
Post by: thompsonkirk on May 15, 2007, 01:00:05 pm

Cmd-Opt-Tilde (or PC Ctrl-Alt-Tilde) used to divide luminance values into high & low in CS2 & before.  It made nice shaded selections, often useful for making separate curves for shadows & highlights (or low & high Zones).

In CS3, nothin' happens.  Is there a new command for this, or did someone at Adobe decide we didn't need it?  I even own the CS3 manual - no longer a freebie - but find no index entries under Luminance values.

It works for me on the Windows version.

Kirk:

It's still there. Apple usurped the cmd-option-tilde keyboard shortcut to "Move focus to the window drawer". All you have to do is uncheck that shortcut in System Prefs/keyboard/shortcuts and PS will go back to delivering the luminosity mask.
