Thank you guys so much - I hope you will be able to help me. I'm looking forward for suggestions. You can ask why I need this. I'm working with B&W images. Very often Zone #5 is distracting. By selecting Zone #5 it  would be easy to change it to Zone #6 or Zone #4 - it depends of picture. But to this right I need clear selection/pure selection. OK - what I'm doing now:

I use Lumenzia. From Lumenzia I select Zone #%, but selection or mask base on this selection is extremally soft with lat of feathering. It is impossible to fix it - at least for me. So I have to redone this selection by using path. I convert selection to path, and back to selection. Now I have clean selection. The problem is that it is not accurate - Zones in Lumenzia are far from Ansel Adams zone system.

Very interesting is fact that when I try to create selection from RGB channel (Ctrl + Click on RGB) - I'm getting selection with the same effect - no sharp selection, very soft or blur or whatever it is - I do not know what is this.

Iven more - when you create manually 11 zones - using L in Lab space and create pasterize gradient from L=100 to L=0 into 11 blocks - both are different.

There are tons of contradictory information on internet in this topic.


What is our favorite program/app? (Hint - it begins and ends with the letter P)
