I wish this was a tutorial, but I'm stumped.
Essentially what I'm trying to do is to create either layers or layer masks that would take Ansel Adams' Zone System and apply it to a digital image, splitting it into the 0-10 light ranges. Luminosity masks can get me part of the way there, but what I can't seem to get are the differences. I'm trying to figure it out, but in the meantime does anyone have/know of a Photoshop Action that will create these zones for me, either as layers or luminosity masks that I can grab? I've got Jimmy McIntyre's action that generates the 18 masks and I can approximate something there, but not exactly.
