Clipping Mask Colors

Is there any way to change the colors used to identify the “blown out” pixels? I am looking at images of orchids and sometimes I can’t tell the clipping indicators from the actual flower colors.

No, there is no option to change those colours, David - but, here’s a tip that may help;

The keyboard short-cut to activate/deactivate Highlight clipping is Ctrl+W … So, if you toggle this quickly your eye should be able to see where it’s highlighting.

It’s actually Option+W on the Mac, which is what I am using. The colors used for “bright clipping” are really garish - in this extreme example, there is no problem seeing the clipping indicators! Light blue and dark blue? Weird.
