ONce upon a time you could move your cursor over the image and it would show on the curves curve what that value was of the point your cursor was over.
Hope that makes sense. This was very useful for deciding exactly where on the curve you needed to make adjustments to affect a particular tone.

__Is there a way to 'merge' multiple curves into a single curve?
By this I mean I have file with 2-12 curve layers - I wanted to 'merge' the curves so that I can end up with a single curve with the attributes of many. Maybe is there a script that would do this?
How to sort curve table data by parcel and then curve length? Out here in Oregon, one of the standard ways of defining a curve table is to show the length of curve and have each curve in the parcel grouped together.
I have not figured out a way to do this in C3D. At one point, Sinc had started working on the issue for us, but I don't think he ever got anywhere with it (or at least it didn't get into his add on.
Is there a way to use the curve driven (rectangular) pattern referencing two tangent curves (an arc and a tangent line). I'd like to be able to create this pattern of slots in one pattern, otherwise I'll have to make two cut features at each end and use one pattern for the straight and another for the curve.

To more precisely describe what I need, I need to create gradient with direction of normal for every "point". The best example I have found so far are borders in Civilization IV game. Here are two examples:

As you can see, there is a solid curve, which gradually blends (i.e. alpha channel is lowered) till the gradient disappears. I have the solid curve and the question is, what would be the simplest way how to do this (the number of curves is around 100) gradient.
The input tonal value is 70% of a CMYK primitive color, e.g. cyan, using Photoshop's color picker.
For measuring the tonal values and differences, switch the info palette to CMYK and 32-bit mode. It's also possible to see the differences in HSB and Lab mode (depends on selected CYMK color profile).

I am trying to create a children's textile/wallpaper design portfolio digitally and I'd like to know how to change a scan of a hand-painted motif into a tonal range of 1 colour in photoshop.
I discovered the duotone trick, but this changes the whole file (whilst flattening all layers), whereas I want the flexibility of being able to change the motifs on each layer to different colours
I've tried options in the adjustment bar, however these just add colour to the existing colour. Say I have a pink image and want to make it yellow, using the adjustment bar options always seems to keeps an amount of pink in it so it never becomes a true bright yellow, it will always have a browny tinge to it. Also the tiny colour wheel bar in the Hue/Saturation option isn't ideal at picking an exact colour.
My main aim is to try and incorporate my sketches & paintings into my designs, to allow me to work quicker rather than purely working by hand, so I want the flexibility of being able to easily changing colours as I create each design.
Lightroom 4.3 is still experiencing slight tonal shifts when creating TIFF copies. This happens when I export to PS6 from LR, or create a TIFF copy of a TIFF file edited in PS6.I can provide samples.
I run LR4.3 on a Windows 7 64bit OS; 8 GB of RAM; AMD 9750 Quad Core Processor; NVIDIA Quadro 600 Video card.
I am preparing a batch of images for test submission, for a stock photo library.Recently a person working for one of the visual effects studios in London happened to tell me that these strict agencies use some set of layers that can separate tonality and color values to check for banding, dirtiness, noise and all those technical flaws that the human eye can't notice on a monitor.He said they perhaps have an action for it so that they can review faster.
He said that it is known as 'Craze Curves' or 'Visibility Curves' technique.He further added that all the studios use it before giving the final files to clients so that there is no issue in printing afterwards.It is sort of a quality control check and has been used by digital and advertising agencies all over the world.
But now his email seems to have changed and I can't get in touch with him to know how to use the technique.

I have ran an analysis and SSA gave me Error 607 on the report. It says "Inlet A9 gutter capture curve is not a valid curve."
A couple things I did different from the video lectures...
I selected user define for the Tc to figure out Q. i computed those manually.
For the Inlets I have selected Maximum Capture Cutoff.
There are some inlets in this model I created that do not capture 100% of the flow so i created conveyance links to account for the bypass flow.Not sure why is not recognizing the Curve?
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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHow do you get bezier curves in PhotoShop CS6 to act the way they used to in CS5.5? In 5.5 i would be able to move/adjust the path with the direct select tool and the control arms would stay at the angle they were created at. In CS6, depending on where you direct selected the path, would depend on how the path could be/would be adjusted. And the control arms have become more fluid, rather than static. They do not keep the angle they were created.

View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen making adjustments in the curves panel the procedure in previous editions was to raise the curve in the upper section to lighten the image and lower it to darken the image. Mine is working just the opposite. When i raise (or lift) the curve the image darkens and when I lower it lightens. The lower half for contrast works the in the same backwarsds way.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen using Curves to increase contrast for an image, I see that some people will use the eyedropper to define an anchor point on the Curve to manipulate, and others just seem to drag on a spot on the curve without first using the eyedropper.
1. Is there a reason to not use the eyedropper, and instead just drag a point on the curve?
2. Won't using the eyedropper always be more accurate than just eyeballing a spot on the curve to drag?
I have a question about using toning curves...
In older versions of Photoshop, I was able to use Paul Butzi's beautiful toning curves (which are ACV files) through the Curves menu.
There was a 'Load' button, and if I pressed that, I could browse my curves folder and pick whatever curve I wanted. Is there any way to do that in Photoshop CS5? I can't seem to find a 'Load' button under Curves, and I'm not sure how to use the Custom Curve feature.
I can't seem to load them under Filters, either. How I could load them?
When using Curves, one used to be able to move from one point to the next ("point" is what I use to refer to the points that determine the shape of the curve) by holding the Control key and pressing Tab.
This no longer appears to work with Photoshop CS5. I am wondering how I can move from one point to the next without having to click on the next point. More often than not I end up actually moving the point when trying to click on it.
So, I absolutely love a lot of the changes I've come across so far. I am very happy with the crop tool changes except for one thing. I work on hundreds of B/W headshots at a time where all I do is crop>curves. Up until CS6, when in the crop tool it would still show tone info in the info pallette. Now it shows nothing. This puts a crimp in my workflow because I either have to open the curves dialog or switch to the eyedropper tool to see if I need to apply curves. I have noticed that if I hide the crop area it will revert to showing the info .
Also, with the curves dialog I am going to complain about something that started with CS5. The 'click and drag in image to modify curve' feature is pretty cool but it should respect my option settings. I work with it displaying the amount of pigment but the click and drag feature doesn't respect this setting.
As I said small issues (especially the second one) but it would be nice to get them changed.

I am using PS7.0 and am at the beginner end of the spectrum.
I have TWO pictures and want to duplicate the colour values at certain points in the picture. The manual operation would be to:
1) Open Picture #1, put colour samplers in at the points I want duplicated (max 4) and write down on a piece of paper the RGB values at those points. I make the assumption that the points are all present on the Picture #2 and that the tonal values are all different enough that they fall on different parts of the tonal curve. ....
