I completely ejected from me memory how to mask. I finally sat down and went through the slides and I was like "ITS THAT BUTTON YOU IDIOT" so don't worry haha. I'm working on some more simple face swaps right now but I saw your awesome gif I will try soon.
Also I was trying to liquify a level layer there.. face palm. But the other notification yeah. I haven’t gotten it again but I also haven’t looked for updates. I will look today
ah yes it seems to be working.. I don't have anything in mind for this photo in particular for that.. I was just playing around. Some of my landscape photos always tend to have hot spots from the sun reflection on the foliage or whatever and I'm just looking to tone down the very brightest areas. naturally. the shadow highlight filter gives it all an unnatural orange glow if pushed too far but lightly I like how it looks. again maybe not this photo but I'm sure I could find another at some point. Wasn't sure how deep down this I wanted to go without guidance in levels but I was curious.
okay - so I'm trying this way and I want to adjust highlights... when I add a levels layer to the selection it looks like this: black and white and when I try to adjust it adjust the whole photo
but!
Can you link me to something about why the shadows/highlight filter sucks? you never mention it in the levels class that I can remember and it *seems* like a nice feature.

Is there an update for this? or a new way to do it? I see its from 2010 and I was curious about it
nevermind. once again my reading comprehension is shot.
