The easiest way: Colorize, decrease the Lightness and choose the Hue 🙂

@Moritz26702779ec3v, in this case just duplicate the high layer, add a clipping mask and turn the Blend mode to Normal. You can't use an empty layer for that, but it's not a big deal. 🙂

Add a Contrast mode for the Sponge tool to make fast local adjustments – add contrast & decrease contrast. An option "Protect saturation" should also be added, because changing the contrast affects saturation, sometimes it's unwanted or too much.

Add clipping warning indicators to Histogram and Levels in PS, just like we have in ACR.

Not sure about brushes, but as for the main menu, here's a short video (11 years old, so you didn't have to wait 10, lol) 🙂

I don't see any use of the Top reply feature. Firstly, bots can "promote" any random comment (and often do). Secondly, it just increases the length of the page that needs to be scrolled and draws unnecessary attention from the topics themselves.

@R Neil Haugen, according to you, all PS users (including pro retouchers) are amateurs, because they have this feature... LOL 🙂 But that's not true, it's just another tool which expands the horizons and makes editing more comfortable. If you don’t like the idea, just don’t embarrass yourself with these comments. And don't pretend you're not seeing the text in italics, otherwise I'm getting worried about your eyesight.

Why don't we have the Feather setting for the Patch tool? We have to switch to the Lasso tool to make a soft selection in 1 click. (the idea was originally posted by me on Apr 10, 2023)

Add negative (-100) Saturation values in the Grading panel to desaturate just the highlights or shadows.

@R Neil Haugen, artists mainly don't work with numbers, their process is based on feelings first of all. Btw, you didn't answer: if the feature exists in PS for ages, why can't we have it in Premiere? will it hurt you? Or you find it useless and will suggest removing this option from PS? 🙂 Have you ever thought why it's there & used by millions of retouchers? I've already explained, but.. Think about it.

@Ann Bens, Photoshop has 6 options for the BG color (see the screenshot). In Premiere the area around the footage is not black, it's gray. @R Neil Haugen, those who don't believe their eyes can't become true artists. As you said, they are just technical specialists who work with eyedroppers, numbers and histograms. Efficient, but boring. All in all, if the feature exists in PS for ages, why can't we have it in Premiere? I'm not a video editor, I'm more into Photography & Retouching and I use the feature in PS very often. Not for the clipping (which I reduce in LR or ACR if needed), but more for slight color correction, adding a vignette, darkening or lightening some particular areas at the edges. Let's say, I'm editing images for a website with a white BG, so they should be bright as well; and vice versa, if I know that they will be viewed on a black BG, I can make them a bit darker. Checking the files on a corresponding BG helps to adjust the overall exposure (but not only that).

Great idea, totally support! This functionality can be added to the existing Sponge tool. It already has 2 modes so, why not to add 2 more? Add contrast Reduce contrast And there should be a checkbox "Protect saturation" 🙂

Adobe, make the Shift edge option predictable, moving ANY edge by an equal amount. I decided to check Select & Mask - Shift edge option on 2 simple masks to understand how it actually works. I can't effectively use this in my workflow, because it has almost no effect on my masks and now it’s clear why... So, I created two solid color layers, the top one with a mask of 2 simple shapes done with the same Brush, Hardness 0 and 100. Let's open the mask in Select & mask window and Shift the edge to -100%. Boooom! hard edge has remained almost unchanged, soft edge has become half the size both became semi-transparent (not neutral 128, but close to it) Let's undo and Shift the edge to +100%. Boooom! hard edge remained almost unchanged again, soft edge became twice as large As we see, the Shift edge option is very specific - it's more effective for the soft edged masks and useless for hard edges... Since I often use the Pen tool for cut outs, I find this a problem. Now I have to modify the mask edge outside the Select & mask window in multiple steps (load a selection from it, then go to the Menu: Select - Modify - Expand/Contract, then fill with white, deselect...). Too many extra steps just because the feature ignores the hard edges... WHY??? SUGGESTION: add a checkbox or another slider which will shift ANY edge by an equal amount. Just like the Menu command Select - Modify - Expand/Contract. I don't wanna make those extra steps, I want it work the same predictable way here, in Select & mask workspace. P.S. While writing this post and playing with other sliders I've found a solution to affect the hard edged mask. But it's not so obvious and anyway requires extra unnecessary clicks. In practice we can expand the hard edged mask with... the Feather slider! (it's not obvious, I told you 🙂 LOL). At the same time the Contrast must be 100%, the Shift edge value may vary. For simple masks it may work, but for complex ones, I doubt.... And this experimenting with a few sliders to change one parameter is nonsense! Not handy at all.

@Shangara Singh, the "Vote" button is to the left of the title and my avatar. I see it. @Myra Ferguson, I don't need to copy anything, I need to CHECK if the highlights and shadows are in the appropriate range (not lower than 5-8 and not higher than 245-250). Yep, I can open the image in ACR and use the Histogram indicators. But I'd like to have what I asked as well 🙂 Now it's your turn to explain why you don't support the idea... It's useful & easy to implement.

@Myra Ferguson, do you mean using this panel? 1) it's even worse than the Info panel, because it's bigger, more distracting & requires additional clicks 2) the problem of looking back and forth remains I just want to quickly check the lights and darks, so my suggestion is the best solution 🙂
