CS2 probably dumb question

Richard

Is there a way to toggle the image display so that blown highlights and plugged shadows are indicated by color changes or flashing or something? ACR and RSE both let you highlight problem areas, but I can't seem to find something similar within CS2 itself. :scratch:scratch

Thanks,

About the only thing I know of is while making levels adjustments you can hold down the Alt key (on a Mac it should be the Option key) to see the problem highlights and shadows.

Good Tip, Thanks

Thanks for the tip. What this seems to do is flip the display into threshold mode, which helps some but is not exactly what I was hoping for. I figured out way to do it using a couple of brightly colored fill layers and "blend if" controls but yeah, I would rather just press a key. I suppose I could turn the process into an action...maybe I'll try that.

Cheers,
