Lightroom :: Contrast Not Working Right In V4 - Hazy Overcast Horizon
May 5, 2012
The contrast does not work evenly, or something. When I try to fix a hazy overcast horizon, the contrast just makes it worse --it appears to only work on the dark areas. Also, the shadows (I assume the renamed fill) appears to work unevenly as well. To accomplish what I want, before this version all I needed to do was boost the contrast and fill, and mayby tweek the brightness. Now I cannot get there from here.

basically 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!

My "auto contrast" keyboard shortcut is not working for some odd reason. "Alt+Shift+Ctrl+L"
If I go manually to Image>adjustments>Auto Contrast it works.
I'm on CS, XP, Dell.

Have great pic of Christ Of The Andes. Huge statue in foreground (gray color), and all white sky in background because of overcast day. I want to change the sky color from white to blue. Formerly, in Elements 4, I could do it easily with the Magic Wand tool. I recently upgraded to Elements 11 and, to my shock, find there is no Magic Wand tool. I am running Windows 7. I tried the Brush tool and, while it selects the correct area, I can't get it to insert the blue color. It is not a choice of color offered. Only gray. I also tried via a new layer, but could not get that to work either.

What is the effect or process to, for example, ensure that normally washed out bright background on, say, a sunny beach, has same depth and contrast as the darker subject in the foreground? It is an unnatural state since your eye and most cameras will adjust to one extreme or the other.

I'm printing on a epson 200p, and using photoshop 7. When I print on the watercolor paper, my prints have been coming out really dull, and it looks like there's a haze over them.

I have installed the latest Update for Photoshop CS6 (13.0.4)..And now the Toolbar-Icons look very strange and hazy..you can not see almost what are the symbols represent..for example the Spot Healingbrush etc.Is this a Bug, or the Icons are "re-designed" (but worse than before)...?

How most photographers are getting their pics to have a blurry/hazy look to their background. I see it in alot of the professional pics lately but I dont know if it is something they are doing in PS or if it is a lens that they are using to create the look.

Are camera-specific camera profiles intended to match color/hue only, or color plus contrast/value?

I have recently installed Revit on my windows interface via Parallels on a best of the line Macbook Pro. For some reason the display is hazy and the lines and annotations are not very clear. I have attached the picture here as well.

I'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.

When I export an image from LR 4.1 for editing in PS CS6, I notice a distinct loss of contrast and possibly saturation. Overall, the image looks duller and flatter. My working space in both apps is ProPhoto RGB. I use a custom profile generated by a hardware calibrator.
The screenshot below is of the same image rendered in both programs.
And here are my PS color settings:
FWIW, the image generated by Lightroom is rendered identically by Preview.

How can I change the contrast and.or color s on the front Panel to make it easier to see the various menus. I have recently started to loose some of my sight and the opening Panel is now difficult to read / work through.Is it possible to show the various editing options etc. as white on black rather than white on grey ?

A close family member of mine is dying and has still many RAW files, which of course look quite lifeless as all RAWs do. She asked me to look for a simple Lightroom preset, which will convert her RAWs into Jpgs with more contrast saturation and sharpening. No fancy effects, just simple. She has Lightroom 3, but has no experience in making presets and neither do I. She is too ill to work on her computer herself, but can instruct me how to use a preset. She needs the preset to make her RAWs available to her partner and children.

I created some trees in Photoshop and created an opacity map for them, but for some reason when I place the trees in 3ds max they appear very washed out and bleached above the horizon line. I am using Mental Ray physical sun for the sky.

Many times my raw images are left with what can only be described as a "haze" over them. It is not a lens deal, it is something I'm not doing in the raw conversion process because .jpegs don't have it albeit .jpegs have their other weaknesses. Sometimes the black slider will remove the haze, but many times I'm left with too many areas that are dark. I think it is a contrast issue, but I really stuggle getting rid of the haze and keep a sharp contrasty image without adding more deep shadows to the image.

I am using a daylight system in 3ds max, but unfortunately there is a black horizon line that I can't get to go away. I tried taking the physical scale in the Environment tab up to 100,000 but that just made the black horizon white. It blended a little better but it still obvious. Is there a way to make that go away or disappear?

Is exposure and contrast supposed to be altering saturation in version 2012? See the 4 screen shots below to see what I'm talking about (RAW NEF taken with a Nikon D4 and the other details are on the screen). Here I am adjusting effects contrast, but I don't think it matters which contrast.
v2012 contrast set one way (this slightly peach tone is accurate and desired):
v2012 contrast raised. There is no mistaking how much yellower it is. Now if I try to fix this with the color controls, something else usually gets thrown off.
This does not happen in v2010: Contrast raised (if anything, slightly opposite):Do not get me wrong --the 2012 controls are far superior at their named function --but they make the mistake of doing more than that function.
The fundamental problem here is that this makes it extremely difficult to edit a photo because changing one setting alters settings you may have already set. When order in which you tweak things becomes a factor, it exponentially increases the complexity (and edit time) because you are then dealing with a moving target. You keep having to go back and reset settings that should not be drifting, and did not drift in prior releases. This is a problem for me especially with photos containing a wide range between light and dark, especially where contrast is desired in both light and dark (as above). This is not the first contrast control problem I've posted (it appears to interfere with lens correction). Contrast seems to be at the center of all my release difficulty (that combined with lack of a linear brightness control). Contrast appears to be adjusting more than just contrast in v2012.

I have an image with the sea and a horizon, I want to make the horizon straight and wonder if there is any useful tool in Gimp to edit the image? I have done it in Photoshop before and remember that there was several tools to pull and change the image. Perhaps Gimp doesn't have tools like that? As it is now, the the horizon is a little bit curved and look strange.

I need to do a small bit of horizon straightening on an image which I have.
Using the rotation tool is fair enough.
Under clipping I select crop to result.
In the rotation dialog i enter the angle ( -.7 )
When I click rotate, it goes through the motions of a status bar advancing (green bar), but when it is finished doing its thing the image vanishes entirely, and i'm left with what looks like a transparent background.
If in clipping, I select 'Adjust', it rotates fine but I have to crop the result manually to have the image 'square' with no transparent angled edges.
How the rotation tool works? I'm using Gimp 2.6.4 on Windows Vista.

OS: Windows 7 64bit Ps: CS6
I have been trying to make a semicirlce or a half of a circle in order to make a Sun on a horizon.Thus far I have used the Ellipse tool and tried using the New Layer > Subtract Front Shape method but I am left with something closer to a crescent shape.
I have also tried to draw a circle and then remove handles but that hasn't worked either.

Why in LR4 is the Tone Curve default set to Custom with a contrast lowering curve? I would like the default to be linear, but I can't remember how I set that up in LR3.

I'm putting together a series of images, and I want the horizon line to be a constant from image to image, though they were not that way in the original files. I'm assuming that I should go with the picture that has the smallest distance from the bottom of the picture and then crop the others so the distance appears to be the same in them as well. But is there a way to make that a simple process?
