Adobe PS6.0 for photographers book question

2003-01-23 by Cleavis <lyonscox@cableone.net>

I've got the book and really like it.  Go back to it often;however on 
page 243/245 there's a procedure of 'saving shadows'.

I've done it successfully in the past but for some reason, each time 
I return to it, I've forgotten something.  After inverting the alpha 
channel & applying the curve for it, I then try to select it so I can 
go back to the layers pallete and do the curves adjustment there BUT 
I get the 'not enough pixels' selected error...usually bang my 
keyboard for a while and happen into it enventually.  Would like to 
actually know it.

Did I make ANY sense?  Not likely.

Sincerely,
Cleavis

Why do you need to select it, as opposed to doing the curves adjustment
on the whole layer?

Hi Cleavis,

I have the same problem, I don't know what I am doing wrong here either. I
know what it is suppose to do, but I just can't seem to get it right


To Harry,

What we are trying to do is to create a luminous mask, one for highlight to
midtone and one for Shadow to Midtone, where we only apply a curve to those
specific areas where it is needed. I guess it is back to study again here, I
am sure it is just one click that is wrong! :-)

anyway, if anyone here got the answer please do not hesitate to post it :-)
<grin>

best regards

Henrik
