Greetings all! For some time I am trying to find the way for two "tricks" in Photoshop to no avail. Here is what I am searching for: 1. A way to load filters as adjustment layers. (much as one makes a levels adustment layer)
Can't be done with arbitrary filters. The list of what you can make adjustment layers is just the stuff clearly visible.
2. A way to load an image (B&W) as a mask. The reason for it is that I want to selectively darken all the dark areas, not darken the white ones, AND affect the middles tones an amount relative to the darkness of of the said areas. I have tried levels of course, and selecting the dark areas but even with feathering I do still not like the result.
Copy and paste works pretty well. For a layer mask, just paste it right in (and maybe invert, and levels/curves, and...). For a selection on a bitmap layer, go into quick-mask mode before pasting. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
