I'm trying to add a Levels adjustment layer that I can paint in the levels. The problem is that I either make a mask that's white and I can paint with black to reveal underneath, or I Option click and it makes a vector mask. I want to pain in the Levels adjustment with white. I'm missing something simple - blonde moment. Thanks for help.

I'm trying to add a layer with a Levels Adjustment that I can paint on selectively. My masks are always white; Option clicking isn't giving me the black mask that I can paint through with white to apply the levels adjustment. Sorry if this isn't clear - I'm over tired and have done this many times before in other PS versions and it's not happening. Deadline tomorrow.
The link in the next post didn't help. The :evels thing is different. -

I ended up going into Quick Mask mode, painting the mask, back out of Quick Mask, then inverting the selection, then adding the adjustment layer as a clipping mask.
Not the cleanest or most flexible way, but it go me through. I still can't remember the "proper way".
Thanks,
Olivia
