I have just discovered actions which are great and timesaving. One question I have is that if I have an action to adjust levels will the script just bring the highlights and shadows buttons to where i ran in the script or is it clever enough to realise that the script is taking them to the ends of the histogram?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble adjusting the levels on a layer after I've previously added noise to it. Basically I'm trying to add a simple snowstorm effect to a painting I'm currently working on.
The way I normally do is: create a new layer, then fill it with solid black, after that I go to filters>noise>add noise, then I add about 150% noise and check monochromatic, press ok, after that I go to image>adjustments>levels and adjust it so it leaves only a few white spots and then I press ok, but this time nothing happens after I press ok in the levels window and the image stays the same.

I quite often need to process digital photo's on CD ROM. By which I mean I am asked to duplicate CDs with sometimes hundreds of pics on. In doing so I notice that the original pictures are invariably poor colour and brightness. When I apply an Image Adjust Auto levels function the picture is wonderfully transformed as to how it should look. If I spend time on each individual photo it takes ages to do and no longer is cost effective.
I like to keep the client happy and so, is there a way I can create a 'droplet' or 'batch' or indeed anything that will allow me to apply Auto Levels or Auto Contrast to say, 200 images at a time? I am using Photoshop 6.1 at present.
Is there any way of adjusting the text on a level?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen creating movies from video taken I add both background music, narration and sometimes sound effects.
When using background music in particular I prefer to reduce the volume during narration so that the narration can easily be heard. I have been doing that using the 'rubber band' by trial and error - I reduce the volume by 'pulling' the 'rubber band' down a little and then preview that section of the video to check if the volume level is correct/to my satisfaction. I note that during the process of adjusting sound level with the 'rubber band' that there is a sound level 'meter' (in decibels) but I don't seem to be able to use it. Is this (adjusting the sound level in decibels) the method I should be using and if so how is it used?
What is the best method to use when adjusting sound levels in the middle of a sound 'clip'?
why have the levels not showing up on all of the elevations even when I adjust the drawing viewport??
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a external monitor connected to a laptop so there are two monitors used at the same time. The external monitor is having somewhat different constract and tone display result from the first one. So due to the different contrast setting, my external monitor is having a greater constrat than my main monitor, therefore a picture looks more constrasty in my external monitor. That being described, let me explain what the problem I have.
When I paint using Photoshop CC, I found that Photoshop seems to automatically adjust it's constrast display of that picture while moving around in the different monitor. In this case, I have Photoshop window opened in my external monitor and it has automatically reduced contrast without me noticing, so that the picture in Photoshop in my external monitor looks like having same contrast in that of my main monitor. It's not until I finish my paint and closed Photoshop and opened my paint using AcdSee did I spot the problem. All of a sudden the picture become way more contrasty than what I've been working on in my Photoshop application.
I was wondering what happened and did some testing. And it turns out while my Photoshop is opened in the external monitor. it will decrease the contrast of whatever displayed in it, if I move it back to the main monitor, the constrast is back.
This problem only happensin the case where I havce more than one monitor working. If I only have my main or external monitor on, Photoshop will not auto adjust the contrasts even the the contrasts of two monitors are different.
This have giving me a huge problem. With this auto adjust contrast thing I will not be able to produce accurate picture result because I do not have a fixed standard to look onto. Even the external monitor is contrasty at least I know I can expect the result I produced to be the same as that I see in the photoshop so different monitor doesn't matter. But now since Photoshop is reducing the contrast somehow I get a much contrasty result than I will have expect once I close Photoshop and open that picture in other application.
I took this by placing Photoshop between two monitors so the picture is slipt in two. As you can see Photoshop will auto adjust the contrast in the external monitor so one picture is having two completely different effect! Since monitor contrasts are not reflected in screenshot so you can clearly see the differences.
The reason I say photoshop adjusted the contrast is because I can see this happening, when I drag it to the second monitor without releaseing the mouse, the picture in it is still the same across two monitors. But once I release it, after one second the part in the external monitor changes.
How can I adjust size of default action frames they are very thin. I have tried double clicking on that part I think it is in the actions but can only adjust the drop shadows etc not the actual size of the frame ie like in the wooden frame.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from CS4 to CS5. I imported some of the actions I had created without problem.
I use one for sharpening with the following steps:
1. Convert to Lab Mode
2. Select Lightness Channel
3. Open Unsharp Mask Dialogue Box
4. Convert back to RGB Mode
The "Dialogue" box is correctly toggled to "on" in Step # 3
However when I execute the Action, the Dialogue Box for USM doesn't automatically pop up, as it did in CS4 - but if I click anywhere on the screen, it then does.
I tried recreating the same action in CS5, but it has the same problem - the Dialogue Box for USM doesn't open by itself, and only does so after I click anywhere on the screen.
This happens both on my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Desktop, and a new Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Laptop.

I have to use concrete hollow core slab in my project, but I was wondering, if it is possible that the hollow core slab automatically adjust itself to the width of the room. I have attached a screen-shot of the problem, where the the last hollow core slab overlap the beam. I can manually change the width of the last beam, but it would take a lot time, moreover if I change the dimension of the overlapped beam, then i have to readjust the last hollow core slab.

To reproduce bug create any new file. Create levels layer with any mask. Activate "mask viewing" by pressing Option/Alt and clicking to mask icon on the levels layer in layers panel. Then try to call menu->select->color range.
I have to process about close to 400 pictures every weekend which takes a lot of time when doing levels and everything on every individual picture.
I need to create a preset that will do just that on 400 pictures but will make adjustments based on each individual picture's needs. I have tried to work on 1 picture while have the rest selected and Auto Sync selected. But what it does then is to apply the same values on all selected pictures and not "auto" for every individual picture.
We are developing a multistory housing project that will have 5 unique unit plans. What I would like to know is the best approach to implimenting the unit plans in revit?
In autocad, we would create an xref of the unit, then xref as needed on base plans. Thus the ability to place multiple xrefs of the unit on various levels while maintatining the ability to make one change to the original unit plan and have it update thru out the project....How would we do this in Revit?
I have a photoshop file with several layers...about 100. I want to put each layers into it's own group. The name of the group must be the same as the name of the layer.
I tried creating an action to do this but it did not work right. It only works for one layer selected individually. If I select multiple layers, then it forms nested groups. How do I create this action? I am using adobe photoshop cs6 ( I think) , windows 7.
Decided to download the trial version of CS6 and create some actions for myself. What I need to create is a 3d canvas wrap image as seen in the pic.I need to be able to control the following.
1, The size of the canvas
2, The depth of the frame
3, To have the image mirrored on the sides of the frame.
4, Shadow effect

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 200 tiffs in one folder (each tiff is named 'image 1-200') all without an alpha channel.
I have 200 different tiffs in another folder (named 'luma matte 1-200').
I've have copied the first images of the 'luma matte 1.tiff' (a black and white image) and pasted it into a newly created alpha layer in 'the image 1.tiff' channel window.
I save this out as a new tiff called 'composite 1' and it works in the way I require it to work.
How would I automate this process rather than having to do it individually for all the 200 files. I'm not sure if this can be done with a series of actions/batch? I dont want to use After Effects luma key as this isn't giving me the correct results.
I'm trying to simplify the creation of several preview thumbs from one image. For example, my base image is a 400x600px image, and from this image I need to create the following thumbs:

View 5 Replies View RelatedAnyway, my quest is to create an action in CS3 that will position and size text (eg. center) as a watermark in any size image. Currently I am creating a copyright symbol, then a text layer and then another text layer and either grouping them in the action or merging them down as created to be in one layer. This works fine as long as I run the action on another file of the same size but when it comes across a different size file the components are all over the place and differently sized.
I gotta admit I don't know a lot about text though. Just thought someone may be able to help me with this one so thanks to all who contribute.
I would like to automate the creation of a frame with top rounded corners around images as shown in the image below. The rounded corners should always be the same size and angle no matter the size of the picture.
I'm having problems creating and recording a suitable photoshop action that would work for any picture dimension and that won't resize the top rounded corners.
I have a logo consisting of four (4) text elements (see attachment) that I would like to be able to create through an action. The problem I'm having is that the document is not always the same size and PS sees percentages for text placement. I need to have the text placed in relation to each other regardless of the documents size.

Is there a way to create an action in PS CS3 with the ability to type different words in the middle of the action?
For ex, I have a series of steps, then need to save the image to 2 different sizes/resolutions, with a different name. So I want the action to run, stop where I type in the name for the hi-res, continue, then stop where I type in the name for the lo-res, then finish the steps desired.
