I just got the new LR6 and I see they changed the way you can add a matte to pictures. It used to be you just go to tone curve click on the graph adding a point and then pulling up the tone curve. It was the perfect amount of matte for my taste. Now that option is gone. Anyone know how to do it in LR6?

I haven't upgraded to LR6 yet. You can't lift the lower left point on the tone curve anymore? That doesn't sound right.

So I used to put a point to the right somewhere and then lift the lower left corner like you said. Well I can not add a point to the right.

Hmm. I have to wonder if you're somehow overlooking something. If so, I have no idea what. There are too many people that contort their tone curves like Houdini that if this was a global problem it should have turned up by now.

I haven't moved up to LR6 yet, but I'd imagine they still have the small click box where you select whether you want to manually move the points on the line or use the sliders. Do you have the sliders under the tone curve? If so try clicking the box that looks like a tiny tone curve (assuming that hasn't changed).

I just checked on the all mighty youtube and yes, the tone curve is still the same. He shows you here at the 2 min mark.
