[QUOTE="J-see, post: 460385, member: 31330"] It's the advanced blending options when you right click the layer. If I leave the blending mode "normal" but define the "if gray" range, when using multiple layers I can split my image into different portions of gray values (or lightness values in LAB) that automatically compose the image when combined. Here's a quick B&W composed of 2 layers and then a version I split into 5 different ranges (0-50, 50-100 etc). I use an empty layer as background. [ATTACH=CONFIG]161483._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]161484._xfImport[/ATTACH] It might not be useful for what you desire to do. I didn't experiment enough with it to know for sure. I'll have to split one in 10 and then adjust them all separately to know how far one can take this. To add; if you want to adjust them individually, you have to first change each one individual layer into a smart object and rasterize the layer while having disabled all others. It's a bit of work but you end up with multiple layers of separate values. I can not directly rasterize the layer but by using the [I]group to smart object[/I] first, I can get around that. You then can adjust any of the ranges as you like without it affecting anything else of the image. Here's what it looks like when I split into 10 regions and rasterized them to separate portions. They all have become separate images in which all but the specified range is transparent. [ATTACH=CONFIG]161499._xfImport[/ATTACH] Each part can now be adjusted as I like and they all combined compose the full shot. [/QUOTE]
