View 3 Replies View RelatedI just ran into an issue with Photshop Elements 9. I was working on a digital painting trying to use a flesh tone color and while using the brush tool, when it started coloring a much more saturated version of the color I wanted. When I used the pencil tool though the color was exactly how it was supposed to look. I don't like the jagged edge the lines created using the pencil tool make.Â

I'm trying to use the ADVANCED Settings - which require POSTSCRIPT - with no success from either driver. Â I can SEE the dialog for changing LINE SCREEN, it allows me to change line screen (i.e. 35 lpi) and Screen angle (i.e. 45 degrees) Â - but when I PRINT - it give me the default printer screen of 100+ lpi.
I have also run the windows wizard and let WINDOWS search for a driver. Â It selected the HP5000 PCL 6 driver. Â This driver does NOT support the TABLOID (11x17) nor does it solve the no postscript functionality. Â
Getting an HP5000N to print different line screens from X3, or X5 running on W7 platform?
I have been printing half tones for quite some years now with no troubles, all of a sudden my post script printer wont print half tones, I must have changed an option somewhere, and dont know what I did whether I have changed something in corel or on the printer itself but I dont think it is the printer .
View 2 Replies View Relatedwhile processing images from a wedding, I stumbled about a weird color bug on a handfull of images in three different situations with CR2's (Canon Raw) Red-tones especially on lips and edges appear to be grey instead of red and orange.
Â
I usually use a standard import preset, however, I completely zeroed everything out, and the mistake still occurs in Lighroom. However, in RAW-Therapee are all the colors just fine when zeroed or edited.
What are the ranges for correct skin tones using RGB%? Used to using a scale from 0 to 255. But with LR it's RGB , I know 100% RGB is white. What do you use for %?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI shoot in Camera RAW on a Canon 5D2 in LR3 and I'm having colour issues; skin tones are often purple/magenta tinted and very difficult to correct. I usually set the WB to Custom and shoot a grey card and set the picture style on the camera to Neutral (why does the WB affect RAW images anyway, I thought it only operated on the jpgs?)
On import, pics often look ok then resolve into higher contrast, garish colour versions which are less pleasing - have I set a preference incorrectly or am I missing something else?
Frequently when I import raw Nikon files to lightroom 4 I initially see a picture with tone and white balance I really like. during this time (2 to 10 seconds) the histogram indicates that it is calculating. When the histogram is finished calculating the picture changes with bad tone (exposure, contrast ...). You can go and manually change the tone settings but it can take sometime and I would rather be able to quickly return to the picture settings that was initially presented. Is there a short cut or easier way?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAll of a sudden today when i went to process photos, in either Lightroom 4 or CS5 all the skin tones are bright pink? They are fine when viewing them on my computer, just not threw adobe products.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I am going through RAW files from my Canon cameras (1Ds MkIII and 6D) I edit them in the develop module and then convert to aRGB or sRGB depending on the output media. They look good in aRGB and sRGB too when I take into account the limitations of sRGB.
Â
---> However, if I try the softproof to aRGB or sRGB the resulting proof crushes dark tones into solid black. Why is this when the actual conversions are way better? The actual conversions look good in both LR and PS CS5.
Â
I have also noticed that when I upload images to my online galleries and view them with Firefox (latest version and color management enabled for all rendered graphics) they appear darker in the darkest tones than what they appear in LR. What gives?

I have CS4 and all my gray tone have a strong red cast to them. However, outside of PS, the color looks just fine. I didn't have this problem with CS2. I have combed the internet looking for answers, but the only one I can find is "Calibrate your monitor!". the colors look right in CS2, and the only thing I have changed about my system and/or monitor is my version of PhotoShop (CS2 to CS4).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a number of photos to retouch and balance skin toning. The basic problem is that the young lady in the photographs has two distingt skin tones but no clearly defined 'tan line'. The differences are detectable and visible (between her back and backside for instance) and I guess caused purely by sun exposure pigmentation versus those bits that never see the sun!

Skin tones look colorless when I print w/ my Canon Pro 9000. If I print using Automate, East Print, the colors are OK but the size can't be adjusted.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a large picture that has ballpoint ink written on part of it. I had no trouble getting the background edited since it was basically the same color. I did end up cloning two different parts of the background and covering it twice to get a blended effect which worked great.
The problem is facial tones. There is ink covering the neck area on the left and the right and the head is at an angle. I haven't been able to pick a color or gradient that works. I tried to clone a different area of the face but that didn't work either. Then I zoomed way in and got each square (pixel?) to show up but it would take me hours to color in each one and there isn't any part of the neck that isn't covered in ballpoint ink so I can't even pick the right skin color/tone.
I downloaded a Gimp program but honestly since I don't know what all those tools are, I don't know which one to use to get it right so I'm hoping someone here can say "use this for this and that for that" so I don't have to trial and error each tool/effect.
Or, if there's another free photo editing program that's easier to use, point me in that direction.
Question - is there an easy (or not so easy) way to make a photo with sepia tones?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn PS CS3 I had set up something very useful on my Wacom tablet. I had two buttons mapped to two different actions. They would do the following:
1) Load tool preset for Dodge, 25px soft round, 10%, Highlights
2) Load tool preset for Burn, 25px soft round, 10%, Shadows
With PS CS4 this doesn't work because of the new "Protect Tones" checkbox. If Protect Tones is on, the tool preset will not change from "Highlights" to "Shadows" automatically. It just gets stuck on whatever it was on previously. To make matters worse, Protect Tones turns itself ON every time you switch from Dodge to Burn, even if you've saved a Tone Preset with Protect Tones turned off!
I just bought a certain Nikon camera, which I recently discovered is notoriuous for producing green shadows in skin tones, the darker the shadow the worse it looks.
How to isolate and adjust these shadows and make them more true to real skin tones? It can't be a globally applied color correction because only the shadows are out of whack and the rest of the image looks great. Reduce green globally will make the rest of the image too red.
is there a way to remove or avoid getting purple & green hues in midtones (occasionally in shadows) when making images black and white?
I've been using the channel mixer (most times the red channel) to covert images to black and white and there's noticable purple/green hues.

Now imagine I have a image with only that solid color and I want to replace those 3 drops of black with three drops of white. How can I do that?

2nd attempt: Normal A4 sheets are white, but I want to print a image (with no white or light colors) on a black sheet of paper. I don't need to use a black cartridge, because the black is already there in the paper sheet. How can I remove the "black tones" in order to get proper colors when printing?
Â
All this to answer one bottom question, which is also my 3rd attempt on this:
Â
3rd attempt: I have access to a modified printer that has white ink on the black ink cartridge; that way, If I write a few words in black and print them out on a black sheet of paper, I'll have a white text. This is very simple if I want only to print text; set font color to black and print, ending with a white text printout. But what if I have a photograph, for example, and I want to print it on a black sheet? If I have a white boat, for example, its' color has to be changed to black. If I want to print a light green, I have to have a dark green on my image. Is there any way to do this?
Is there a way to enable the "protect tones" box while working in Lab Color mode for dodging and burning?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI think that we can control tones under all the opaque areas of a layer with the contour editor for shaping layer effect ... and after that with the choke and size sliders, we can control the extend of its appearance. But, I think that, in fact, I could not soundly understand how it is functioning.
