The tutorial at http://www.retouchpro.com/tutorials/lum-mask-sepia.html
shows a great method to make warm-toned images. It uses a little-documented feature of Photoshop called the "Luminosity Mask". From what I can tell, it will do a better job than the Photoshop "Quadtones" method that I have been using, because it is inherently non-destructive, and can be used in 16-bit mode.
Following the instructions, we read "Open a single-layer RGB image such as a color portrait. Press ctrl-alt-~ (Windows) or opt-cmd-~ (Mac)."
I am unable to perform this on the Mac. It works as described on Windows.
It seems to me that the Mac analog of ctrl-alt is command-alt.
Furthermore, the ~ character is obtained by using the shift key.
So, what the heck is the correct sequence ?
One thousand thanks !
