Tinting shadows with Gradient Editor

i saw presentation spoke of tinting shadows on image converting black , white, then

creating gradient map layer.  there went gradient editor , place cursor directly beneath

the gray scale, , starting black end, move toward white end until arrow cursor changes

finger pointer.  use value in location...

 

unfortunately, every time cursor pointing finger.  can put in color stops, don't

believe technique used...  i've tried using alt, ctrl, and/or shift in combinations can

think of, no matter do, pointing finger instead of arrow cursor.

 

does know need differently gradient editor show arrow cursor until reach

whatever point should @ when changes pointing finger?  , point?  represent

the darkest black in image, or what?

place cursor directly beneath gray scale

what supposed mean?

could please provide screenshots?

 

unfortunately, every time cursor pointing finger. 

even if hover directly above color stop?
