Oh ok, i understand that better now, thx for explaining, and you re right, that do cut down on the intensity. But im just curious, on a picture like that, with something shiny like that, wont using the pen tool just kind of cut around the object, and wont it keep the reflection of the original background? For example the picture we talking about here, wont the ring keep the gray in the reflection, and if that will be postet then on a new, lets say blue background, wont the reflection still be grey and not fit the new composition? Or are there way to avoid that witht he pen tool?
