Comments There were some very useful improvements made to Color Range in Photoshop CC. When choosing to select the Shadows, Midtones or Highlights in your image, there are now controls to modify the range and fuzziness – thus enabling you to be more specific in defining the areas in your image that you want to select based on luminosity values.
As you can see from this example, when selecting the Midtones, you can refine the Range using the sliders.
