I don't know. All things can change, so in a way the answer is, "Yes." But, at this time there's no talk about it (unless I'm way off somewhere).

Thanks Ursula,
What about Shadow/Highlight in PS CS2? |

But tone mapping involves using selections:

You May: saturate, desaturate or change the colors of your entry, but no selections are allowed. |
And I don't have CS or CS2 but doesn't shadow/highlights use selections also?
Edited for clarity.

Ah, this can`o`worms again..
I was dead set against tonemapping in Basic editing. After a few days of discussion (and I know the SC discussed it indepth as well) it was deemed legal.
However I now use it a lot, both in advanced edit and basic edit, so as the old adage goes
"If you can't beat 'em"... etc. |

You can Tone Map without using selections. Check out my tutorial.

No, you just duplicate the layer and apply it just like levels or curves. It only becomes illegal if you change the blending mode or opacity of said layer :) |

For the purpose of this thread and these rules, "tone mapping" and "shadow/highlight" are basically the same thing. I may be the first person here to use tone mapping in basic editing, and I did it because SC had already decreed that shadow/highlight was legal in basic, and I did not have CS2; I was using PS7 at the time, which does not have shadow/highlight. My computer at that time could not run CS2 (it was running Windows Me) and I determined to my own satisfaction that tone mapping had to be legal if shadow/highlight was. SC subsequently backed me up on that.
Both techniques are used to pump more detail and local contrast out of the shadow areas, and neither of them requires selections to do it.
