I read another one yesterday, its new to me but nobody else I suspect.
When using levels adjustment, if you hold down the ALT key when you click on the shadow or highlight sliders, the preview will only show the pixels on the left of the slider if using the shadow, and on the right if using the highlight, enabling you to trim more accurately...PSCS

Just read that back, I hope you know what I mean

Yepp, thats a good one gubbs!

I've just realized that tab hides/unhides all the pallets and toolbox (pscs win)

You can modify this one!

Try shift + tab...

It will hide all the palettes except the toolbox

re this thread re shortcuts
could you all put a book together with all this stuff in it, it is all good. But I am out of paper from copying it. Will get more paper, just kidding, but this stuff is so good. I will say that my keyboard does not always work, other than that I am trying to learn these things. My mind can only take so much at a time.

Ginger, Is this the one you're looking for
I remember doing the same thing you mention. I think it may have been the tutorial by Andy called "Layer masks explained" or the "selective color in b&w". I've tried both of these, but still have trouble because the "brush" doesn't work and I don't know why. It only works on the "background" layer, not the Mask.

Your color boxes are set to black and white, and you've tried both colors? When I do it, black reveals the background layer, white restores the top layer. I only ever have two layers for a mask. Dunno if that's what is not working for you. If you document every step you take, I'm sure someone here will figure out why you're having difficulty.
