Yes, the option to open the Levels effect in a separate interface window was previously available on macOS. However, this functionality has not been supported for nearly a decade.

I think this is what you're looking for. I newer knew that was there!

No, the discussion was about the Levels configuration window, which doesn't seem to exist on Mac.

Right, I see that now. In fact, the effect I pointed out is the same as the one in the original post. My mistake. 

As a Mac only user, I never knew what I was missing.

Yes, I've got it on WIndows and has always been there. I didn't realise that it's not available on Mac... Maybe someone on Mac can shed some light?

Hi @15404635,

Thanks for the question. Though I'd need to confirm, I suspect that's just another one of those Mac vs. PC issues. The versions are slightly different. For example, the Windows versions contains effects not available in the Mac version. Sorry about the frustration.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi @Kevin-Monahan 

So the feature we're talking about is not available on a Mac, correct?
