In CS3 the Black & White Adjustment Layer dialogue offered two sliders for adding a tint. These were Hue and Saturation, and were delightfully easy to use.
In CS4 the Black & White Adjustment Layer non-modal tab does not have these two sliders; instead you have to click on the square called tint which opens up the Select target color: dialogue. OK so hue has a slider, but adjusting the saturation requires entering a figure into a box (or all the arrow key stuff). Not anywhere near as convenient nor intuitive as sliders.
It is possible to regain this flexibility by directly converting the image to Black & White using the Black & White conversion dialogue available from the menu, but then this means that it has to be on a copy of the image and is, therefore, not re-adjustable later.
Is it possible to have the modal dialogues back for Adjustment Layers, along with all the adjustments previously available, or are CS4 users stuck with the Adjustments Panel – as is ?
Any other suggestions for getting these two useful slider back ? (but why take them away in the first place ?)
