This shortcut is supposed to get the luminosity channel as a selection, but it doesn't work on a french mac keyboard...Any idea? Question

hi T


I google for a bit and it seems that there are a few shortcut conflict problems on the Mac.


A common fix seems to be along the lines...

Quote:

"you will need to go to the System Prefs and then to Keyboard & Mouse Prefs to the Keyboard shortcuts tab and disable the keyboard shortcut for "Move focus to the window drawer"




ANother thing I found repeats of was...


Quote:
"Command-Option-~ (tilde)"

for doing the luminosity thing, but I spose thats on US Macs ?

hey Granulated, thanks for your answer. The "system pref" thing doesn't work. And there is no tilde key on the french keyboard.You have to type "Opt+n" to get a tilde, but then, in photoshop, "Cmd+Opt+n" simply opens a new doc. Razz ...I keep on searching.
Hey Anfa,i'm trying this technique to select an object and keep its shadow as a transparent grey...

instead of tilde..try the top left button on the keyboard (left of the number 1) thats what I have to press as my tilde button is above the # key over next to the return key.
