I have a question about the Jid Workflow
I really canīt do this, no matter what I try:
(quotation)
Find this in Image > Adjustments > Curves
If you feel your image is a little dark in places and you do not want to increase the overall brightness of your shot try this.
Ctrl+Alt+` then Shift+Ctrl+I
What have you done here? Well firstly you selected everything above the tonal midrange(Ctrl+Alt+`). But it was the dark areas you wanted to adjust! So the Shift+Ctrl+I has inverted your selection leaving you with the dark areas of your image selected. Now open your Curve box (Ctrl+M) and move the midpoint of your curve to the left. Don't get carried away and move it too far!
This will increase the 'brightness' of the selected areas. Once your happy then deselect the area (Ctrl+D).
(end of quotation)
When I press Ctrl+Alt+` then Shift+Ctrl+I nothing happens. I see nothing being selected.
I use a German keyboard, but surely that canīt be the problem?
I do get the curves screen appearing, however.
Is there another way to reacht the Ctrl+Alt+` then Shift+Ctrl+I effect? Somewhere in the above menu?
Or ... is there something happening with the picture that you just donīt see?
(c.f. when selecting everything in Word, the whole text gets blue).
Please help!
