Hi,
I am bedeviled by a problem and am seeking help with it. I have an image (B&W, not that it matters)and it has a boy in the foreground and the sidewalk in front of him and the sky behind him. What I essentially want to do is use levels to change the contrast of the sidewalk and the sky but leave the boy untouched. What I have been doing is this, I use the magnetic lasso tool to ‘draw’ around the area in question and then select levels from the layers palette and voila. The problem I have from time to time is that the magnetic lasso drives me crazy because sometimes it ‘grabs’ to an area that I don’t want it to and once it makes a ‘handle’ (i’m guessing at what its called) I then can’t go back without starting over. In this particular image when draw around the area in question it would take me over 20 minutes to do because of the size, curves and contours and then one errant click or hand jerk and pow start over. Is there a better way of doing this? Can I, while in the middle of a magnetic lasso session back up pass the last created handle? Is the magenetic lasso simply what it is ans I’ll just have to deal with it? Ket me know?
