contrast pin a marked point

[mikemeister_admin]

If I mark a couple of points on my curve, and then decide I would like to take one of those points and make a contrast pin, I can't. At least through the right click menu.  It would be a nice but not necessary option.

I see your point but that kind of defeats the Contrast Pinning option.
Are you trying to set more "range" for your contrast selection? 
Would you not be better off using a good old fashioned "s curve" and being done with it?? 

I have begun to see the worm as a "very local" contrast tool.  When I have had to talk people throught the process of a lizard tail type curve it has always been annoying that there was no way to set the short contrast range and adjust within it.  Doing so in CM2 results in flat spots and bad tonal values in the adjusted part. 

BTW you can make any 2 points a "Contrast Pinning" curve with a Ctrl-Click on the second point. 
They should rotate unless there is another point in between them.

Not more range, precisely. I have found that marking certain areas when evaluating the image helps me decide how I'm going to approach corrections. Very nice tool to help keep track of things.  And I really like the rotate tool. I would like to be able to just select the general range of the mark and rotate. Maybe a contrast pin would be too limiting--I don't know how tightly it pins, I guess.  In PS I generally scroll over the image watching the curve for the range, and then make the appropriate curve over that area.

I'll see how things develop--I'll either just set my own curve, or do what you suggest here. Thanks, Greg.

I just saw there are pin modes. Wow. I may want rotate modes by the end of the day...ouch.
