cs4 curves question
« on: October 31, 2008, 09:52:45 pm »

how do I...

In CS3, using a curves layer,  I could click  to show clipping, in CS4 other than the menu is there an easier way?  IE, in CS4 it's 2 mouse clicks, one to call up the menu and one to click the option.  In CS3 the option to show clipping was on the curves panel - one click.

Tim,

You should post your question on the NAPP member forums where the Photoshop Guys hang out. You would probably get a quicker response.

I'm a photo hobbyist, but the $99/yr to join NAPP has proven to be a great investment and has accelerated my learning.

Cheers.

Good idea, I actually am a member of NAAP - just never hang out in their forums.

Tim, I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but in the Curves Options you can select "Show Clipping..." and then when you touch the black or white points on the Curve you get a gamut warning display.  Actually a little more useful, imo

crap, I think that's what you were saying...  if it stayed that way after closing PS it would be a different story, but it reverts to off.  

sorry not too helpful

Good Morning

In Photoshop CS4 - you can hold down the opt/alt key when you click on the black/white point on the curve to show the clipping.

hope this is what you are looking for.
