Greetings,
can someone explain to me the underlaying technical implications on using the B&W adjustment layer when I change the blending mode to luminosity?
I found this to be a interesting effect in manipulating the feel and look of landscapes particulary when used in succession.
On a walk I shot a snap of an old ruin. Back home I masked the ruin and the rest of the landscape, then applied shadow highlights independantly, and after that added a b&w adjustment layer with preset "high contrast blue", and then a second one "high contrast red", to both masks, changing to luminosity and lowering the opacity gives and interesting control over the pictures appearance.
I just would like to understand what is really happening there.
