Photoshop has a variety of paths to do "threshold" activities. And the new "Highights and Shadows" feature has sliders to adjust the boundaries between shadow, midtones, and highlights.
The layers palette has a "threshold" option for a layer.
But I’m still looking for a way to select a defined range of pixels by their brightness. In SELECT>COLOR RANGE, one can pick shadows, midtones, and shadows as the options. Photoshop roughly makes the boundaries each covering 1/3 of the 0-255 range.
There is a "Load" command in this window, but I’m not sure what can be saved and then loaded. Presumably only comething that was "selected" in the window can be saved and then reloaded.
Is there any way to select "midtones" for example, but to redefine what range that covers? With all the great things that PS can do, it would seem that this capability must be around somewhere.
