Photoshop :: Apply Burn To A Composite Image But Without Flattening?
May 28, 2013
I want to apply Burn to a flattened image, but without flattening. My image consists of several layers, and if I apply Burn to the image layer it doesn't work as well as when applied to the flattened image. But I don't want to flatten the image.
I have uploaded a test image here. It is a crop from a scanned Kodachrome using a Nikon Coolscan V ED which causes flare whenever highlights abut shadows. I can remove the flare fairly effectively on a flattened image with several Burn passes by using a brush size:75, Range: midtones, Exposure: 20%. But if I try it on the unflattened image layer, the results are not as good.

When I flatten my image at completion, The images changes. Looks like my adjustment layers reset blending modes and adjustments. Tried uninstall, restart of photoshop and Mac, tried to flatten from tiff, psd and PDF. Same thing happens

I am loosing details in an image when I try to save, flatten or merge visible. The top layer is a colored layer that I have used the dissolve blend mode to apply to the layer below. Whenever I flatten it, I loose a lot of the granular detail as well as the color intensity. Any work arounds?

I have a line with a drop-shadow. I want to save it as a GIF and keep the drop-shadow effect. So I flatten the layer. But while doing so, the background which was transparent changes to white.

First, a slightly long winded explanation. Shooting the creative family Christmas card this year in a Mini-Cooper (original 60's one). Basically set my lighting up and then shot individual members in the car to post them together. The only snafu - my 20 month old son wasn't exactly cooperating, so the 'good' photograph I have of him is in the drivers seat, and I wanted to move him in between us.
There were a few difficulties here. First, the light changed between originally shooting my wife (windshield was clear), as skies were blue, and when I took the photo of myself nearly an hour later (cloudy skies cast a glare on the windshield. I had a black scrim set up to the side which worked, but wasn't able to knock it out all together. So i faded the clear windshield from my wife's side over to my side with the glare, but I feel that looks fairly natural (or at least good enough for the Christmas card).
The trick comes with my son - I cut him out from where he was at the drivers seat (had to do some shoddy work on his shirt where the steering wheel blocked him), and put him in between us. However, it looks like his coloring is off from what we are - and I can't quite seem to get it right. Color balance is definitely not my strong suit in PS.

Issue: I have an image (cs2, windows xp) with a few layers that I need to flatten but each time I do, it messes up the "image" and I have no idea what I need to change about anything for it to look the way it looks "unflattened."

I have an image with three layers.
The 2nd layer is a bg duplicate with a mezzotint added for grain.
The 3rd layer is levels adjustment for contrast.
I flatten the image, and then the image flattens, but becomes a bit lighter and washed out looking.
I flatten an image and the flattened images matches excatly what I was seeing before I flattened it.

I flatten an Image, All the colors change to grayscale. Like if you look at the color chart, you see all the normal colors, but if you try to use a color it just comes out different shades of gray. Its horrible, and it happens everytime.

I've been taking photos with a homemade lightbox which includes a white background and I typically have to go into photoshop to make some adjustments to get the background pure white. When I'm snapping a photo of an all white object against an all white background, it looks rather nasty if you use the auto color tool.
So from my understanding auto color uses the lightest white and the darkest black and the reason the white/white scenerio doesn't work it because of a lack of black. So to combat this I've been creating a new layer and adding a little black with the rectangular tool and filling it with black. Now, I'd like to be able to delete this second layer once I've used the auto color feature but can't figure out how.

I am somewhat new to graphic design and have a coreldraw design that needs to go to print. The company's Pre-Press Mgr sent me this message:
the background is made up of a million separate layers that each contain a clipping mask and an image. The file size is huge due to the sheer number of these layers and may have trouble trapping and imaging. The bulk of these layers and images could all be combined in to one composite background image to reduce the file size, trapping issues and imaging issues. You do not want to include vector elements that you want to remain sharp, but for the soft background effects it should be one composite image.
Does this mean to take the layers that make up the background and "Group" them and/or convert to curves?

I'm a coreldrawX4 user. I would like to print a composite image of my identification badge on a T-shirt. How would I do this?, should I take it's picture with my cell phone-forward it to my e-mail address then import it into corel or have it scanned and forwarded to me. I don't have my own scanner so I was thinking Staples or Kinkos.

I know the title sounds weird, but I am having trouble keeping my levels from reverting back to their default look when saving as a jpeg or attempting to flatten or merge my layers. I can attach a link to the PDS if you would like to take a look at it. The layer that is losing its levels settings is called "Stars". I don't change my levels often, so I am sure its something I am just missing. The levels are just changes on a single layer, as stated above its the layer called "Stars".

I'm having a problem seeing a file in LR 4.2 when it is in the folder where I want it to be.
I created a composite tiff image from two raw files that reside in two different folders. I had exported the two raw files from LR as tiffs, opened the tiffs in Photoshop CS5, then combined them into a multi-layer tiff to create a 600+MB composite file. That composite was saved in Photoshop under a new file name using "Save As" . I knew the new composite file would not be in the LR catalog until I imported it. When I imported, the image went into a new date-named folder (call it folder "A"). So far, it all made sense to me.
From this point on things got funny. Working within LR, I tried to move the uniquely named composite from folder A into the folder that one of the component files came from (call it folder "B"). The Move failed. Instead, I got an error message saying the file already existed in "B." I could not see the file in "B" using lightroom, but MS Explorer revealed that the file was indeed there. I don't understand how it got there.
Still trying to get my composite in "B" recognized by LR, I first deleted the composite from "B" using explorer, then went into LR and moved the file from "A" (where LR recognized it), into "B". Still no good. LR does not show the file in "B", yet it appears in explorer.
I suppose I could live with this composite file in its own folder, "A," but that is not really where I want it. More importantly, I don't understand why I can't see it in LR in the folder where i want it.
- Is my catalog file damaged?
-Might the XMP files have anything to do with this?
-Is the size of the file (>600MB) a factor?
Win 7, LR 4.2, PS CS5.

I have seen three brush technques to lighten and darken parts of an image, dodge & burn, to enhance dimension (look more 3D):
1. Create a Curves Adjustment Layer set to lighten or darken image, fill it's mask w. black and paint w. white to dodge or burn respectively. Two layers are required, one to dodge, one to burn.
2. Creat a new layer w. Overlay mode and "Fill w. Overlay-neutral color (50% gray) set in the "New Layer" dialogue box. Then paint with white or black to dodge or burn respectively.
3. Duplicate the layer to be modified and use the Dodge & Burn Tool.
Is one method better than the other for non-destructive overall control and ease of use?

I seem to have inadvertently done something that has increased the time it takes to burn a DVD or ISO Image file from less than an hour to over 7 hours. I'm working on my first project, and have burned several discs along the way, and most burn in well under an hour. Then ... I must have changed something without understanding what it meant, and the time to burn has increased by around 10 X. Hardware acceleration for everything is On, and disabling it slows the process down even more.
The project is a video slide show with 994 photos, a music track ripped within VS5 from a CD to wav files. The project ends up just over 5 GB to burn to DVD. I tell it to let DVD Fit adjust the size down and it does reduce it to 4.38 GB.
Another thing I noticed, is that after letting it run to completion, instead of it taking up most of the DVD, the DVD is only half full even though I'd expect it to be almost full with 4.38 GB and it has been up until this problem started. And if I make an ISO Image instead, it is less than 2 GB in size instead of close to 4.38 GB. I'm wondering if some how I told it to do a massive job of compression?
FYI - I'm using the trial version of VS5, so it may not have SP 1 installed, and it appears that SP 1 cannot be installed on a trial version.

I am presently taking the The LAB Frontier course by Dan Margulis at Kelby Training and I am having difficulty with the Apply Image command working the way Dan said it would.
I am using CS3 on an PC.
Dan makes extensive use of this command in sharpening and other functions as follows:
Be in LAB color mode.
Start with a Background layer and duplicate.
Oversharpen Layer 1.
Have Layer 1 selected and go to Apply Image.
Apply the lower layer Lightness channel to the top layer reducing opacity to 50%.
CHANGE THE MODE TO DARKEN. This is my problem as Darken is not an available choice.
I have tried this on two different PCs with the same unfavorable result. why Darken mode is not available to me?

Recently, I've stumbled upon the "Apply Image" command via Images>Apply Images. (images must be same dimensions)
I found 2 arcane blending modes, "Add" & "Subtract". As usual, their explained in the help but still leaves me curious.
Add : adds the pixel values in two channels. Good way to combine nonoverlapping images in two channels.
Subtract: subtracts the pixel values in the source channel from the corresponding pixels in the target channel.
I can use the scale an offset to lighten and darken.
This "Apply Image" permanently modifies a image to your work. I don't like permanent because I'm always going back to tweak. Does anyone use this feature on a regular basis?

I'm using CS4 photoshop on my iMac 2008. When I try to apply image adjustments like 'posterize' or 'Brightness/Contrast' or 'Levels' to my image, I can adjust the settings in each dialog box, and I see the changes on my image because the 'Preview' box is checked. But when I click 'OK', the image reverts to its original and no changes are applied to the image.
I started out by importing a .jpg into photoshop. I've tried working on this .jpg, and I've also converted to Photoshop file format .psd, and still the same problem occurs. The original image had colour, but I converted it to grayscale. I also tried not converting to grayscale, and still the same problem. I am trying to make the image high contrast, with only black and white (no grey).
The same problem also occurs when I apply my adjustments on adjustment layers. Here I am able to modify each adjustment layer. The image changes and looks the way I want. But when I go to save the image, no matter what format I save as (.jpg, .psd, or .tif) the resulting image has none of the adjustments. It's still the original.

I am a beginner of Photoshop and I am really interested in Photoshop. Here is a big challenge I have met in the "Image>Apply Image..."
As it's shown in the picture, I use the Channel Alpha1 to alter the RGB Compound Channel and the Blending mode is ADD. And I can understand the fundamental of the above operation. Then question occur:
I don't get a full understanding of the Chek Box "Mask..." and I don't konw what it is used for. And what about some parameters "Image", "Channel", "Layser" about the "Mask..."
