Color grading

Hello,

Is there a tool in PSP to do color grading like in Lightroom, on shadows, mid-tones and highlights separately ?

No and yes. White Balance Adjustment Layer.

It's not the same, but you can target shadows, midtones, and highlights, and you can adjust the color balance. Unlike Color Grading this adds specific primary colors in specific amounts. It was originally meant as a way of correcting color casts by adding the opposite color to balance it out and correct for white balance.

There are probably other tools, but this is the first one that comes to my mind as both affecting color and being able to target midtones, highlights, and shadows.

EDIT:
Another option that's a bit more manual work but might be doable is to use the Luminosity Mask Drive Through script by CosmicDread. This creates luminosity masks such as Highlights, Shadows, and Midtones. These masks can then be used with HSL adjustment layer to target not just a specific color, hue, saturation, and lightness, but use their built in masks to target highlights, shadows, and midtones. Bringing it closer to the color grading.

The latest version of this script can be downloaded from their GitHub page - https://github.com/gummyCowboy/Paintshop-Pro-Scripts
