Being out over the weekend I’m trying to ‘catch up’ now …
Activate the Local Adjustments to see the list of corrections – in this case starting with Control points.
The next 2 screenshots show a Control line with settings for the background.
normal view → note the position of the picker
mask view → note the Chrominance & Luminance adjustments
Different to other tools, Control points and Control lines allow to choose how much Chrominance (colour range) and Luminance (lightness range) to include in the selection (mask) → Mask selectivity.
- Control points pick up the chrominance & luminance values from underneath the CP’s position
- Control lines pick them up from wherever you position the picker
- and both can be corrected w/ CPs and CLs …
The next screenshot shows a reversed Control point to (better) control the light fall off.
mask view → w/ Chrominance & Luminance set to “0” – the CP acts as a ‘pure’ radial gradient
I suggest to make a Virtual Copy of the version you want to check, activate the Local Adjustments globally, deactivate all of them in the list and re-activate them one by one to see the effect / to play with the settings.
have fun, Wolfgang
