Photoshop :: CS5 Losing Levels Adjustment
Feb 27, 2013
I am losing my levels adjustment when converting from PSD to any other format here is the list of it...
Â
levels layer...........taking the contrast way up
saturation layer....saturation up
invert function
find edges layer
duplicate layer
background layer
Â
At the point that I convert to jpg or another file type I lose the levels adjustment. Also flatten image or merge visible layers causes the same problem. I can supply a file if needed.

if I have a white point that's 231/217/183 (3x3 sample) and I also have a 228/228/228, which is the better to select as my white point? I've never been confident on whether it's better to get closest high values or highest value in one of the RGB points.

I entered the following key sequence: Adjustments Panel | Levels | Alt-Click Auto | Find Dark & Light Colors | Snap Neutral Midtones | Midtones After keying in this sequence and making adjustments to my photo, I inadvertently hit one too many OKs as I was exiting and PS changed my defaults. They now read: H: 55, S:0, B: 0, R: 128, G: 128 and B: 128. How can I reset these values to their default settings?

When I try creating a color balance adjustment layer is it opening a levels adjustment layer. I'm using the New Adjustment Layer button at the bottom of the Layers panel. Is this a bug with CS6? How can I fix the problem?

I am using a CS6 trial on Windows 7, I can get more specs later but I can't remember anything else about my operating system (on a different computer at the moment).
Â
I have noticed sometimes that when using a Levels adjustment layer, the drop-down to choose the different channels (red, green, blue) is grayed out, and I cannot click on it to choose the different colors. The numbers in the input & output boxes are also grayed out and I cannot type in them. The only time I have noticed this happening is directly after cropping an image. And then when I go to work on a different image and add an levels adjustment layer to it, those things are still grayed out. I have to restart the program to get it to work properly again.If I add a Curves layer, nothing is grayed out, everything works fine; it's just Levels.

I cannot get a color balance adjustment layer to come up. Every time I do photoshop creates a levels layer. Selecting levels makes a levels layer. All of the other adjustment layers seem to be working normally.
How do I fix this? I have a deadline and no time to be reinstalling photoshop.

When I pull up the levels windows both are black. If I reduce the image in the windows, I get a small black square. I have used this feature on various versions for years.

I found out that there is a way to show clipping areas in Photoshop when adjusting levels via an adjustment layer. While moving the slider, you hold down the ALT key.
I tried this in PSP X3 and it does not work. Any feature for seeing the clipping preview is available in Paint Shop Pro? It's a nice feature.

I can no longer adjust levels. I go to Layer / New Adjustment Layer / Levels and get the box that says "New Layers" and asks "Name" (Levels 1) "Color" (None) and "Mode" (Normal). No changes here.
I click "Ok" and instead of giving me the box with the histogram, it adds a layer to the Layers Control box and gives me an eyedropper with instructions "Click image to choose a new color" If I click on the image, it changes the foreground/background colors but nothing in the image. I can't get out of this dialogue without closing the application using the Windows Task Manager.
Is this a bug? A setting? - I've changed nothing on my computer...

With a photograph, is it best to clip the histogram or not?
In auto levels it does clip.
Or isit better to alt click whilst adjusting black and white points? Then back off just before clipping?

I have a situation where my image is 'faded' from left to right.
The left hand side of the picture is 'not bad' (but could use a little touch up). As we progress to the right the image becomes lighter and could use more and more touch up.
I've tried selecting narrow vertical adjacent rectangles and using the levels tool (to greater effect as I moved to the right). I suppose that with enough time and patience (and narrow enough selected rectangles) I could come up with a consistent colouration across the face of the image but---!!
So, is anyone aware of a plugin that would provide a gradation of the effect of the levels tool across the width of the image?
Or of some other way to clean this image up?

What is the difference between levels and curves?
They seem to do about the same thing when I play with them.

I want to reduce the colour levels in a picture to four, or limit the amount colours of an image to 4 colours.
I have many black and white images and I want to remove all but 4 scales of colour so that I have
White
Light Grey
Dark Grey
Black
The closest thing I have found is in the filter gallery bu using cut out and reducing the number of levels to 4 the problem is this tends to blurr some of the details as part of the effect whereas I want to maintain the crisp edges of my image so that it just looks flatter
I would also like to know if there is a method to do this and have it somewhat scaleable so I can decide on the range of colours in the current image that would fall into each of the new colour categories so that I can adjust itcase some details are incorporated into say the dark grey layer and they should be black ect?
I'm sure I have seen a very simple feature to reduce the colour range of an image, maybe that was in paint shop pro it was a long time ago.

My Photoshop CS6 PSDs are getting flattened if opened by any previous versions of Photoshop, despite not being saved just opened. When I open the original in CS6 again, all layers are merged. Where there were 12 layers, there is now one. This is causing loads of problems.Â

I am losing functions in nearly every menu in photoshop. I have tried v.8 and v.10 with the same results... I have no access to nearly every effect menu, the select menu is almost as worthless and I can't do anything on it anymore. The only way to make the function useable is to open an old file that was made back when it was working. I tried reinstalling, after that didn't work it forced me to use a company version of CS3, which has the same problem.
Does anyone know what may be going on? I don't understand what file in my computer may be doing this... If anyone has had any similar problems, please post without hesitation. This is the second photoshop forum I tried, I hope photoshop team can help .
Here are two screenshots of what the effects menu looks like; sorry about the size, I have huge resolution and didn't think about reducing the image size:
I am running windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit and I am mainly trying to fix Photoshop v.8, but fixing this one will evidently fix v.10 as well.

I have same shortcut file for several years. The pattern is recent shortcut, always seem to disappear. They stick for a bit, between many lauchnes and quits of CS3, but then need to be re-added. I've done the delete preferences trick, I'm out of ideas.

I'm trying to break up sections of my website design, but when I copy and paste the various sections their edges become somewhat transparent.
Those edges shouldn't be soft because this is part of a larger solid image.

Ever since upgrading to CS6, when I click Levels>Load preset, I can no longer search in the window for the file. Previously, I could type in the file name and it would come up and I would select it. Now, when I search for the file name, there are no results at all. The file can be found by doing a regular search in a Finder window, but not through the window that comes up from the Levels window. I've reindexed Spotlight, and that has had no effect. The workaround is to open a Finder window, search, find the file, drag the file into the Levels' load window and select it there.

I have a 3d render that has some semi transparent areas (shadows on matte objects) I want to get rid off. In AE a can simple adjust the alpha levels and set everything under 25 to be 0 for example.
Â
In PS the entire alpha channel seems to be out of reach.. it's not in the Channels tab? I can add one but PS fills it with an B&W version of my RGB image.. What trick I'm a missing here?

How do you create a perfect alpha from this image, channels don't work, selections don't work either very well. I haven't done something like this for a while, so maybe it's a brain fart, who knows

Question 1:Â If I create two levels layers and, adjusting the center slider, I enter 1.5 of lightening on one and .5 darkening on the other, and then flatten the image do the two equal and opposite adjustments cancel each other without altering the image?
Â
Question 2:Â Assuming the answer to Question 1 is yes, there's no alteration to the image -- if I adjust the first to 1.5 and the other to .6 does this create the same effect and using only one layer with an adjustment of 1.10?

What is the main difference betweem levles adjustments and curves?
Booth of these adjustment layers do the same in differnt ways:
contrast corrections, midtone correction, shadow/highlight corrections, color correction.
I understand curves allows to select secific tonal points in the image.When should levels be used instead of curves?

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.

In regard to using the three eyedroppers in the levels dialog box. I am crystal clear on how to most accurately find the lightest and darkest areas to click on with the white and black eyedroppers.
Its the middle one that I need help with. I have been told in the past that I should click on the area that SHOULD be gray, rather than what IS gray. Is there a little more of a precise way of arriving at which area to click on rather than just guessing like "Hmm, I think maybe his pants should gray".
Or what about when an image has nothing whatsoever to do with any gray. I know this middle eyedropper may not be critical, but I just gotta think there is a better way to do this rather than guessing. If a photo has just red, blue, yellow, green, pink, orange & gold, what "should be" the grayest? Obviously there is something I don't understand about this tool.
