Being able to view just the luminosity (no color) in Photoshop can be incredibly helpful in a few scenarios, such as in complex retouching or compositing work. Additionally, the ability to easily see subtle differences in luminosity can help make it easier to see and fix issues. Lumenzia v1.5 adds a new "check luminosity" (✓L) feature to handle all of these scenarios. You can now view just the luminosity in your image, view it with boosted contrast, or view a custom range for boosted contrast. This video demonstrates a couple of scenarios where this capability is helpful.
