Photoshop :: BMP Image Adjustments

Jul 31, 2012

I have a project consisting of scans of an early version of a book, all the files I have are bmp's. Most need adjustments like shadows/highlights etc. I make the adjustment, image looks fine until I click OK to apply, then photo reverts back to original state. I've tried saving as tif, jpg, pdf and nothing works.

Photoshop :: Image Adjustments

Nov 12, 2008

Photoshop CS.

I have scanned b/w documents.

After opening the file, I change the mode from bitmap to grayscale for making adjustments. I usually need to get more contrast, ie make the paler lines darker and more visible. So, Image->Brightness/Contrast or Levels. I get small window to work with and I have preview option checked. I can see the result on the image, when I make the adjustments. Fine so far.

But then, when I press OK, it will go back to the original situation with no changes made.

Photoshop :: Image Adjustments Reverting

Sep 22, 2013

I'm trying to create a pretty simple "starfield" by using noise and then playing with the Levels. When I go to adjust the levels, everything looks good in the preview. However, when I click "ok" the image reverts back to what it looked like before, with maybe a VERY slight change, but nowhere close to what my preview had shown originally. I'm not sure what could be causing this, but it does the same thing whether I try levels, brightness/contrast, and threshhold.

Photoshop :: CS4 / Image Adjustments Don't Apply

Apr 18, 2013

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.

Photoshop :: Image Adjustments At The Center Of A Circle

Sep 10, 2005

I just got a new Lightscribe drive and I have been having a field day making custom labels for old data discs. Now I have decided I want to make some backups of some of my games so I can put the original discs/boxes into storage finally.

The problem with this is that Lightscribe discs have a larger "unprintable" radius at the center of the disc that other media. I found that when I scanned some of my discs and imported them directly into the LS Print program I was losing alot of information/text/pictures.

Essentially I need to take a point in the center of the circle and 'stretch' it outward in a circular pattern. (If you have seen Ace Venctura 2, think about when he had to escape from his mechanical rhino-spy vehicle through its bum I have also attached an image so you can see exactly what I mean. The read circle in the middle is approximately where the most inner edge of a LS disc can begin to print.

where to even begin as far as keywords go. I do realize that there will be a certain degree of 'smushage' (technical term) on my final product, but I would rather keep the original disc look than having to make my own custom disc for each game.

Lightroom :: Make White Balance / Exposure Adjustments On Top Of Current Adjustments Across Multiple Shots?

Jan 15, 2014

We have a bunch of shots taken using natural light - the shots all have completely different exposure and white balance adjustments.
 
Now that the shots feel like they've been shot at the same time of day (and on the same day) we'd like to start adjusting the white balance accross multiple shots - but use the current white balance/exposure from each individual shot as the starting point - not reset the adjustments.
 
Kind of like baking the current settings or making adjustments on top of current adjustments - or make new adjustments relative to the current adjustments.

Lightroom :: How To Transfer Image Adjustments

Mar 30, 2014

I have 3 separate external HDs I use, all with the same images backed-up for safe keeping.  I’ve made adjustments in Lightroom 5 to approx 200 images scattered throughout the 7000 images on 1 external HD.  Is there any way I can copy and paste these changes so they are consistent on the same images on the other 2 HDs?  All images are displayed in Lightroom 5.

I have tried to find whether there is asetting which applied automatic adjustements to the image but have been unsuccessful.  This doesn't seem to happen when i use the Canon RAW processing software.

Lightroom :: Adjustments Are Copied To Next Image?

Jul 16, 2013

Have noticed a strange behavior lately with LR 5 when I am making small adjustments in the Basic panel. The problem seems to happen when I am moving through the images too fast. If I make some adjustments to an image and then hit the arrow key to go to the next image, all of the previous adjustments are copied over. I typically use the Previous button for a lot of my editing but LR does this on it's own. I then need to Reset the photo to default and start over. Not a huge annoyance until it gets to the point where you need to re-edit some photos and it copies over everything. This happened several times to me today. I had an event fully edited but decided there were a few photos that needed minor adjustments. As I was quickly scrolling through making adjustments where needed, I would notice that LR would drastically change the settings to match the previous photo. This completely slowed me down and I had to re-edit so many photos. In some cases it would even copy over the cropping I had done. I hate to say but I am not very impressed with this version of LR so far. Feels rushed and not polished. I understand that each version has it quirks and issues but so many for an established program. Tempted to go back to 4. Slow and unusable healing brush and now this annoyance are two major hits for me.

Lightroom :: Developing Image From Smart Collection Has No Adjustments - Immediately Unselected

Nov 25, 2012

I am wondering if this could really be the intended LR behaviour? I start from a smart collection, one of the criteria is "has no adjustments".

Ok, as soon as I move the first slider in develop module, it no longer matches that criterion. But that should be no reason for LR to force me to immediately stop the develop edits on the selected image.

It immediately unselects, and I stay in Develop module with a grey window and the message "no image selected". (It does not move on to the next image, which still matches the criterion.)
 
I would expect that when I return to Library module, it would return to the same smart collection where I started, but I would not find my last developed images there, as they no longer match the criterion. But that LR grabs it immediately out of my develop selection?
 
Strange enough it stays the same, when I first explicitely selected all images while in Library/smart collection.
My expectation would be that I  have this selection fixed to work on in Develop module. Similar to when I select any images from survey view and go to Develop module.
 
But no, the only workaround I found is:

Start from the smart collection, ctrl a to select all, then arbitrarily click on another collection withput this criterion - selection stays fixed - then move over to Develop module.
 
This is LR4.1 on Win7.
 
Definitely my functional specification would be: never take off an image from Develop unless the user moves on to another image. So ignore from where an image was picked.
 
Would you consider this a bug? Or a "feature"?
Do you see the same in LR4.2 or 4.3RC? Behaviour on a Mac?

Photoshop :: All Selections Under Filter Menu And Adjustments Under Image Menu Grayed Out

Jul 19, 2013

A co-worker scanned a photo and emailed it to me to edit it and try to improve it, but everything I want to do is grayed out so I can't select it and I can't figure out why. Maybe it has to do with how she scanned it?
 
It's CMYK, 300 dpi, and 8 bit.
 
I'd like to sharpen it and adjust the hue/saturation, but they're grayed out.
 
why this is happening and how I can work around this so I can make the changes I need to make?

Photoshop :: Raw Adjustments VS PS Adjustments

Aug 7, 2008

I understand the benefit of shooting camera raw and I like the adjustments you can make without effecting the photo itself. The one thing I can't get used to is the limiting workflow in raw that allows you to undo only one change. Being a long time user of Photoshop I'm spoiled by all the image changes I'm allowed to make in combination with one another and the ability to back out of all or some of them.

I'm I missing something in the raw workflow? I wasn't sure if this should be posted in the Photoshop, Bridge or Raw forum. If any of you know of a forum that discuss's this sort of stuff,

Photoshop :: CS5 / Why Can't See Adjustments After Flattening

Feb 5, 2012

upon flattening layers in CS5, any changes made seem to vanish? This occurs when flattening adjustment layers and has even happened after e.g. Image>Adjustments>Curves (when I close the adjustment dialogue the changes aren't applied.) This doesn't happen on every photo ( I can have two open and it will only be seen on one) and I havene't ever had it happen before. It seems particularly likely to happen after applying HDR toning although I'm sure if there is any connection.

Photoshop :: Photo Adjustments

Feb 5, 2007

I have some questions about adjusting a (digital) photo in photoshop. I have read some books about this but everybody says something different. What things should i use to improve my photo? Should i use Curves, Levels, Color Balance, Selective Color or only one or two of these? Wich of these should i use first and wich are more important and wich not?

Also I would like to know if CMYK or RGB color is better for printing. And if there's some general diagram about how much magenta, yellow and cyan one photo should contain? Or is this just personal taste.

I already know Unsharp Mask is the last thing u should add to an image in most cases. But i'm really curious about color adjustments because i want to make the best image possible.

Photoshop :: Can't Save Adjustments

Jun 10, 2009

Question: Why won't layer adjustments save?

Details:

I work for a music publisher that wants to make older publications available for download via their website.

I scan the sheet music and get a PDF as a result.

Some pages are too light; some need to be rotated a bit.

I open the PDF and export each page as a TIFF.

Then I open the TIFFs in Photoshop.

Rotating the image is no problem.

A Levels Adjustment Layer gives me darker blacks, higher contrast.

I save the TIFFs, then use Acrobat Professional 8.x to create a PDF from multiple files.

I combine the TIFFs, save the new file.

The rotation changes are there in the new PDF, but the level changes aren't.

If I open the TIFFs again, they look fine -- meaning that the Adjustment Layer is still present.

Next, I tried merging layers (there are just two: Background and the Adjustment Layer) and saving the TIFF again.

Close the file; reopen it in Photoshop.

One layer (Background) which seems to have no change from the pre-adjusted original.

I've tried saving in different formats (Photoshop PDF, JPEG, EPS, PSD) before and after merging or flattening.

The only thing that seems to work is the Photoshop PDF format. When I open that in Acrobat, the level adjustments are preserved.

But the resulting PDF is huge. To illustrate:

A 12-page folio typically contains only simple lineart (no photos) and text on page 1 and music (just a font, not an image) on pages 2-12. Sometimes there is an EPS barcode on the final page.

The PDF my scanner produces usually weighs in at 3MB.

The recombined PDF made of 12 Photoshop PDFs (TIFFs extracted from the original PDF, then adjusted in Photoshop and resaved) is typically 60+MB. Using Acrobat's PDF Optimizer gets the size down to 20MB or so.

But this is huge. These files should be around 1-2MB tops.

I have hundreds of pieces to scan, adjust, and prep for downloading.

Finally, my specs:

iMac
2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3 GB RAM

Mac OS X 10.5.7

Photoshop :: CS3 Extended / Adjustments Won't Stick

Mar 23, 2012

[URL] Namely, when using Adjustments > Curves, the changes appear in the preview mode but don't stick when I press OK.
 
I'm using Photoshop CS3 Extended 10.0 under Windows 7.0.  I received some black and white drawings from two artists.  They're TIFFs, converted to CMYK/8, with only one background layer.  My goal is to darken the black lines in selected sections using the Curves function.
 
I've used Curves successfully with the images from Artist A but not Artist B, so I don't think it's a problem with my technique or my Photoshop installation.  It must be something specific to Artist B's files.
 
1) Deleted the preferences file and let Photoshop create a new one.  No change.
 
2) Viewed the image at 100% rather than, say, 33.3%.  Actually, that's worse.  The changes are visible in the preview mode at 33.3% but NOT at 100%.
 
3) Created a duplicate layer with CTRL-J and tried Curves on it.  No change.
 
4) Double-clicked on the Background layer to create a Layer 0 and tried Curves on it.  No change.
 
* The Curves preview mode shows the changes when I lighten the sections, but there's no perceptible change when I darken the sections.  Again, the changes don't stick when I press OK.
 
* I tried the Brightness/Contrast function to see what would happen.  Nothing.  The images don't change even in the preview mode.
 
But when I clicked the Use Legacy box in Brightness/Contrast, the function worked and the changes stuck.  What does that mean?  That the files are saved in an old format that version 10.0 can't modify?  I thought a TIFF was a TIFF.
 
To address the last point, I saved the file under another name and tried Curves on that file.  I tried the four suggestions above as well.  Again, the changes in the preview mode were visible at a lower magnification but not at 100%.  The only difference is that, unlike before, darkening the image produced noticeable changes.  But the changes still didn't stick when I pressed OK.

Photoshop :: Clipped Adjustments Not Working?

Oct 27, 2012

For some reason when I clip an adjustment to a layer, it doesn't work. Before I clip it though, it works fine, it's only when I clip it to a specific layer, it just instantly removes the adjustment and fails to work. (By this I mean it looks like everything is working fine, with the exception that nothing has changed.) For example, I add a brightness adjustment to a photo, but as soon as I clip it to a layer it just reverts back to before and the layer is clipped. Any adjustments I make while it is clipped doesn't work.
