If I place a point on an image and then make 10 adjustments is there a way to view how the color sample will change with each adjustment?
Right now I have to go back to the individual 'bg' layer I will call it to view the new color info after the adjustments have been made. I would like to see how the color info is changing for the layer the adjustment is being made to WHILE making the adjustments.
Is it possible to make the color sampler tool show hsv values in the info panel instead of rgb?
View 10 Replies View RelatedIn Photoshop CS4 I have placed a color sampler/eye dropper crosshair on my RGB image. This shows what the color values are for that section of the image in the info palette. When I adjust curves on a layer, it changes the values of the color sampler to the values of the layer I am adjusting alone, thus preventing me from matching a color using curves and the color sampler. I have been through the preferences and opened every fly-out I could find on the info palette, and the curves dialog box, but have not found a selection that says "Sample all layers" anywhere. I am simply trying to show the values under the color sampler for all layers, similar to the functionality that existed in previous versions of photoshop.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI used to take the color sampler and put a sample on my image. Then I created a curves layer. AND, by holding some combination of shift/ctrl/alt and clicking the color sample, the values would transfer to the red,green, and blue layers of my curves layer. From there I could make adjustments...
In CS4 I'm trying to do this, and I can't get it to work... It isn't the same as using the eyedroppers on the curve OR the hand above the eyedroppers. It actually copied the color sample values onto the individual color channels.....
How do I do this in CS4?
I don't use the Color Sampler Tool much, but In checking something for another thread, I noticed the cursor now seems inconsistent with the cursors of the other tools.Basically, I expected it to drop the sampler on the little crosshair, and it dropped it instead at the end of the dropper.
This used to make sense, and it's still consistent with the Eyedropper cursor (and with prior versions of Photoshop). But I find that now I've gotten used to the other new cursors, most of which now define the hot spot at the upper-left, it didn't do what was expected.
I'm adjusting RGB images in CMYK preview mode using custom ICC profiles. In taking a color sample measurement using Color Sampler tool and Info Window, I can have the sample data display in RGB, CMYK or whatever.
Is there a way to get each sample to display both RGB and CMYK numbers side by side?? This would be very helpful when 'correcting by the numbers'.
Why is it when I edit an image in lightroom 4 then go to retouch etc in photoshop cs5 those adjustements that I made on the image in lightroom ie contrast, saturation, exposure etc don't show up when I move the raw image into photoshop to do final retouching on the image but still have it in my lightroom catalog? It is the camera raw issue that comes up when you first try to edit an image and lightroom says it needs camera 7.0 which does't exist yet?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having a serious problem with the thumbnails in Library/Grid mode taking anywhere from 5-10 seconds to "pop in" the adjustments I've made in develop and/or via the quick develop tab. I need to quickly see if large batches of images are similar in color/exposure, and I've always used the Grid to compare them in bulk. Now it seems the previews refuse to update unless I hover over that image for an extended period of time. I've even tried jumping back and forth between Develop (in order to update the preview) and Library, but 8 times out of 10 it reverts to the old preview. I have tried:
1) Clearing my cache
2) Expanding the cache size from 3 GB to 10 GB to 40 GB with no avail
3) Optimizing the catalog
4) Updating Lightroom & Camera Raw
5) Removing Luminance/Sharpen adjustments from all the images
6) Reducing Preview size/quality
7) Using Smart Previews
Because of the sheer numbe of images I work with, I have to store them on an external drive, not my Mac (3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 and 16 GB DDR3 memory). Even when I edit images locally on the machine, I have this problem. All of my software and drives are up to date, and I've got around 90 GB free on my system. making my adjustments on faith and then "re-updating" the previews...but deleting the Smart Previews/Previews and recreating them doesn't seem to fix the problem.
I have recently installed Lightroom 4. In the develop module, any adjustments will not show in the photo on the screen. The photo frequently will not load onto the screen. If I select crop mode, the photo disappears and the screen turns to gray. If I select before/after, the screen turns to gray. I have read the manual multiple times and have watched the video. I do not see any step that I am omitting or doing incorrectly. Should I uninstall & reinstall the program, or what?
View 3 Replies View RelatedLooking forward to this update because i use a Fuji X pro 1 and I had read that lightroom 4.4 now supports this camera and sensor.
However after updating all I get in the Lens adjustment under Fuji is the Fuji x100 which has been their for some time.The exif info is showing the correct camera and lens used etc.
I have tried uninstalling and then manually removing any left over files and folders with no luck.
Do i have to install support for this camera as an addon?
Also if i look in the lightroom folder Camera profiles/camera it only lists Canon, Nikon and Sony
The crop tool in CS6 is vexing me a bit. It seems I can't rotate the crop window as finely as I could in CS5. When I grab a corner and rotate it moves from 0.0 to 0.6. I frequently need finer adjustments when cropping. Something like a 0.1 or 0.2 degre rotation.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I am measuring the 'red' 'green' and 'blue' values of a picture after I adjust the white balance with a grey card.. I notice that if I measure the colors from 'selected layer' they are different then if I select 'entire image' those are both different if i do not do any white balance adjustment..
Which is the correct measurement that I should record? I want the the white balance adjustment included.
Bridge is making gamma adjustments on my thumbnails!
I want to make the color adjustments,
I want only for the RAW files to load.
How do I PERMANENTLY DISABLE THIS FUNCTION?
Is the vibrance slider in ACR and Lightroom doing essentially the same thing as manually shifting the tops and bottoms of the A and B curves in LAB color?It seems similar, but is the math actually the same?

I tried using the photoshop image proecessor through brige by selecting all my images and then saving as TIFFs but I am losing all my color correcting? Is there a way to save these out as tiffs as a group and not one at a time? I also might have lost my color correcting when I copies them all to one folder as well...not sure what is happening except now my great product shots look like crap.

On paint it shows exactly how the line looks as ur drawing it,
but on Photoshop it shows some rectangle outline of the line.
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.
can anyone tell the advantage of using the colour sampler in conjunction with the curves adjustment when correcting colour casts in a photograph?
I have a photograph with a slightly blue cast on it and ive corrected it by opening the curves pallete and ctrl clicking the image to place dots on the curves and adjusted the curve accordingly.
I have read that it is a good idea to place 4 color sampler points on the image and use them somehow in conjunction with the curves. But how? Has it got something to do with eyeballling the color sampler readouts in the info pallette. I cant work out what the advantage of doing it would be.
Effects->Adjust->Brightness/Contrast/Intensity
Effects->Adjust->Color Balance
Effects->Adjust->Gamma
Effects->Adjust->Hue/Saturation/Lightness
None of the above work [as expected] any more. I think this happened after the 6.3 Update.To replicate the problem:
1. Fire up CorelDRAW
2. Draw a closed shape and fill it with a color of your choice.
3. Open any of the above effects mentioned in the first post.
4. Try moving any of the sliders and see what happens. (Try with both the preview button locked and unlocked.)
I am sure you will notice what I mean. Surprisingly, they all work as usual, once you convert the vector object to a bitmap!
I am using Photoshop Cs4.
As you can see on the picture, the color code don't show the same color on the web page:

View 4 Replies View RelatedIt would be nice to have a colour sampler in Lightroom 4 to be able to monitor the use of the new RGB channels in the curve. Is there such an item, or is it possible to have something like that in the toolbox? Something like the Camera raw where you can select mulitple points - or use a modify key to change the eye dropper(Lightroom) into a colour sampler point?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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,
I have a PSD file open and I added a new layer via the copy command. I have added a Layer Mask to the new layer and I'm trying to use the Brush Tool with black forground to cover part of the new layer. I'm following an online tutorial step by step, but when I try to use the Brush Tool I get "could not use color replacement tool because it only works in full color mode". The Image>Mode is set to RGB.
