looking at the image plane and the 2 inputs I used - diffuse / opacity (alpha channel), what parameters are the best way to adjust the image plane brightness / contrast / levels (photoshop style)?
That’s what I like about these forums. A great way to get straight to the point and learn stuff fast.
I try to apply Levels & or Brightness & Contrast settings to an image, it always seems to revert back to the way it was. The filters won't do anything it seems. I have Adobe Photoshop CS2. At home it did the same thing and I re-installed Photoshop only to find out it still did not work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm importing RAW files straight from a CF card reader into my network storage drive via LR5.3. While reviewing as it imports initially each image looks great but a few seconds after it loads onto the screen it seems like LR applies a bit of extra brightness and lessens the contrast and I lose a load of detail that was there originally. I've not touched the import settings and no filters are being applied by myself on import.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am able to change the brightness/contrast for part of an image by using, for example, the Rectangle Select tool. I want to be a little trickier though. I would like to use the rectangle select tool, but have the effect of the brightness/contrast apply 100% at the bottom of the rectangle and say 10% at the top, with gradations from 100 to 10 from bottom to top. Is this possible?

It is an unnatural state since your eye and most cameras will adjust to one extreme or the other.

when I use Brightness/Contrast it will give me an eye dropper tool?

I add a noise filter too the whole pic and then do brightness and contrast,the preview looks alright, press ok and the noise dosent change at all
View 5 Replies View RelatedIt's a small issue, but one that was a no brainer in CS5 - I use Legacy Brightness Contrast about 80 times a day, and CS6 no longer keeps it ticked, I have to manually enable it every single time, and by about the 57th time of having to do this every day, it becomes a more than a little irritating. As some of you will remember, CS5 just kept it ticked once you selected it.
The new brightness / contrast is great for certain tasks, not so great for others. I, and I'm sure many others rely on the legacy version.
Brightness/contrast only seems to have an effect on the 'background' layer--not on any subsequent layers I apply. And it only seems to be on the current docs that I am using--if I open some older ps docs from the recent past, brightness/contrast works fine on all layers...?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to the Brightness/Contrast?
I am tired of going through the menu.
'Brightness/Contrast' screen becomes unexplainably absent while using my PhotoShop 7.0 in XP. When I click on 'Brightness/Contrast' the eyedropper becomes active as usual but the dialog screen with the two 'sliders' for brightness and contrast is not visible. Where is it? If I uninstall and reinstall it's OK again for a while.

I have an indoor group photo using flash light. The problem is the center of the picture is much brighter than the sides. Is there any easy way to increase the brightness and contrast towards the sides, and gradually decrease the brightness at the middle?
View 6 Replies View RelatedEvery time I use adjustments like brightness/contrast, PSP seems to remember those settings, because the next time I use them, they start with the same values as I used before. But I do not want that. This way I always have to move all sliders to their zero position before adjusting. Every image needs different values and I always like to start from scratch (zero values).
So, how can I tell PSP not to remember those settings every time?
i've got the latest version of gimp and ufraw.
i have a folder with about 100 jpg files in it that i want to apply a general brightness contrast setting to.
Using the main interface to do each one I would need to go to Tools > Colour > Brightness Contrast and set a Brightness value of 16 and leave the contrast at 0
What i would like to do obvious is to run a batch command to do this operation on all files in a folder
I've tried guessing at a few command lines to do it but all have failed and basically how to do it.
Having trouble with my Photoshop 7. When I want to use the Brightness/Contrast adjustment within the Image/Adjustment section the scroll bars for brightness/contrast do not come up. An eyedropper tool appears. When this happens I can only click on the image and change the color squares on the left in the tools area. I can't even close the image or close the program. I have to Alt/ctrl/delete to close the program. I've also uninstalled the program & reloaded but this problem continues.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhat I'd like to do is adjust the color and brightness/contrast of many layers of an animation. Now, for a still image with many layers I know you can generally add a partially transparent layer over the whole thing, however, since it's an animated .gif I have to do the same thing to each individual layer. I could probably go through and do it by hand and just get it over with. But, I'm curious if there's a feature for this, or is there a plugin that can repeat actions for multiple layers?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to adjust brightness/contrast and saturation over about 30 layers on an animated GIF. Everything looks great until I do a save for web and click on the animate box. At that point, the color/changes drop off completely. It shows up fine when it's just the one layer being shown. And it seems to be showing up on all the layers when I'm in the main edit window. I keep looking and making sure I have the 'this adjustment affects all layers below,' and I do. I even tried saving a GIF with the other setting turned on and I got the same thing.
Anyway, I exported a few GIFs, thinking maybe the adjustment layers would kick in as it saved, but nope. Neither layer saved into the exported GIF.
I'm sure this is just a simple setting I'm missing, but I'm banging my head against the desk at this point.
What is the keyboard shortcut for remove color cast and for brightness/contrast?
View 1 Replies View Relatedbasically what is happening i am importing line drawings that i have scanned in. i am opening the TIF file then changing it to a PSD or JPG (i have tried with both) changed the mode to RGB and 8 bit
i then try to adjust the levels of the image to make the drawn lines i scanned in stand out more. the preview shows the lines getting darker but when i click "OK" the image just doesn't change and the lines stay faint. the same happens when i try to use just the simple "adjust brightness contrast" option aswell. is there something i can do? i cant seem to figure it out!
whenever [on any photo] i apply auto levels or auto contrast or auto color from the image>adjustments tab, the entire photo will completely white out as if i had added a new white layer over my active layer (which i am not doing). however, it only does this in 'auto' changes. so if i were to manually adjust my levels or my contrast or color, the 'white-out' effect wouldn't occur.
i really need this feature. i have already uninstalled/reinstalled photoshop cs2 and that didn't seem to fix the problem.
I have over 300 photos that all need an auto levels, auto colour and auto contrast.

I would like to be able to apply the "brightness" and "contrast" controls to the photos in such a way that the amount of change varies across the picture, in much the way that the "gradient" control works for a color or a pattern.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've recently gone on to Photoshop 7 from Photoshop 4. Photo images appear much darker (photographically speaking about a stop) than they did in P4, or in my batch browsers or in trial versions of Elements or paint Shop Pro that I have tried. It only seems to apply to P7. I can't find a way of altering this without messing up the display settings.

However all of a sudden i started having problems with the way PS opens images.
Say I take a picture with a camera, review it in Irfanview, and the decide to play with it in PS. The problem is, that the image look different in PS, than it looks in reality. I simply drag and drop the image from the folder into photoshop, and when it opens up, it's a lot brighter than the original, almost washed out.
Sample attached.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? It wasn't doing it before, it started suddenly, without any modifications to PS or the system (that I know of). I've tried reinstalling PS but no help.
why my images in bridge CS4 look much lighter than in the Finder and photo developping software PSE 8 for MAC and in Silkypix (Panasonic) and Digital Photo Professional (Cannon)?
View 7 Replies View RelatedThe LR4 Print module has the ability to apply a brightness correction to data being sent to a printer to compensate for having a too-bright monitor. That's fine. Now, if I use the same images in the Book module to be sent to Blurb, must I create Virtual Copies of each image and manually increase the Exposure of each image to achieve the same effect. I would think that if I do not do this, the pictures in the book would appear dark just as my printer pictures appear dark if I didn't apply a correction.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I export an image it apears slightly less bright outside of Lightroon than it does in Lightroom. This includes web browsers. Am using identically calibrated NEC 2090uxi monitors. Most of the time upping the birghtness by +5-10 will correct this. Occasionally the vibrance needs to be raised in addition. What might account for this?
