Hi
I have only just discovered that I can still use Command+Option+~ (tilde) by ammending the OSX system preferences.
My memory was that when using Command+Option+~ (tilde) (plus select inverse) I could grab either the the top 50% or bottom 50% of the levels of an image. That is I could apply levels/curves to either the dark or light halves of an image. An image with well exposed highlights but rubbish shadows – select dark 50% and work on those leaving the highlights untouched.
But I have now found that when i use Command+Option+~ (tilde) and work on the image, the adjustments spill over into the unselected part of the image.
Is a selection with Command+Option+~ (tilde) got a feather attached or am I just too confused.
Thank you for your patience.
