[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 460381, member: 9240"] Nik Silver Efex Pro allows me to select the zones in a B&W photo, and I'm cool with all that. I'm looking to be able to use them in a properly exposed photo to allow me to apply edits to only selected parts of the photo. Deepen shadows, but only those in Zone 1 without pulling stuff from Zone 2 and maybe 3 into Zone 1. Apply the same Curve adjustment I now have across an entire image to just a portion, again without impacting [I]any[/I] of the rest of it. As for re-inventing the wheel, knowing how to use one and knowing how to build another one when the one you have breaks makes for a lot more tools in the toolkit. Half the stuff I know came from trying to figure out something else. [/QUOTE]
