Photoshop :: Levels/contrast Not Working
Mar 15, 2009basically what is happening i am importing line drawings that i have scanned in. i am opening the TIF file then changing it to a PSD or JPG (i have tried with both) changed the mode to RGB and 8 bit
i then try to adjust the levels of the image to make the drawn lines i scanned in stand out more. the preview shows the lines getting darker but when i click "OK" the image just doesn't change and the lines stay faint. the same happens when i try to use just the simple "adjust brightness contrast" option aswell. is there something i can do? i cant seem to figure it out!

Photoshop :: Equalize Contrast / Brightness And Detail In High Contrast Situation
Aug 15, 2012What is the effect or process to, for example, ensure that normally washed out bright background on, say, a sunny beach, has same depth and contrast as the darker subject in the foreground? It is an unnatural state since your eye and most cameras will adjust to one extreme or the other.

May 5, 2012The contrast does not work evenly, or something. When I try to fix a hazy overcast horizon, the contrast just makes it worse --it appears to only work on the dark areas. Also, the shadows (I assume the renamed fill) appears to work unevenly as well. To accomplish what I want, before this version all I needed to do was boost the contrast and fill, and mayby tweek the brightness. Now I cannot get there from here.

Jul 31, 2013Quick question: If I am creating a black line drawing with a brush, how can I ensure that I will be able to alter the contrast later on? Sometimes it seems to work, other times not at all (i.e. if I open the histogram, it shows just one line all the way to the left; the lack of colour suddenly becomes an issue).
I like to use a soft, slightly opaque brush at first - which with the tablet gives it a nice range of pressure, but then usually I need to up the contrast at a later point.
I'm using PS CS6.

Photoshop :: Pen Tool Contrast...
Dec 19, 2008When I'm using the pen tool in Photoshop CS4, it sometimes takes the color of what I'm using the pen tool on, ie; if I'm working with a picture with a bright green or pink, the path is bright green or pink (see link below) The picture isn't the worst that it does, but if I took a screenshot when it's at it's worst, you wouldn't see anything. I went through all the preferences and saw nothing. I do have the OpenGL acceleration turned on.

View 5 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Legacy Brightness / Contrast In CS6?
Jul 11, 2013It's a small issue, but one that was a no brainer in CS5 - I use Legacy Brightness Contrast about 80 times a day, and CS6 no longer keeps it ticked, I have to manually enable it every single time, and by about the 57th time of having to do this every day, it becomes a more than a little irritating. As some of you will remember, CS5 just kept it ticked once you selected it.
The new brightness / contrast is great for certain tasks, not so great for others. I, and I'm sure many others rely on the legacy version.
Photoshop :: Flattening All Contrast / Where Are Blacks
Dec 10, 2013I edit a photograph from a Camera Raw file to high contrast, grainy black and white, then when I try to flatten it or save it, it washes all the contrast out completely. When I try to merge layers, flatten image or cmd+opt+e/cmd+opt+shift+e to a new file it does the same thing. Here's what I've tried to correct the issue:
-I've tried saving it as a PSD file, a TIFF, a JPEG and a BMP file
-I've tried calibrating my monitor (X-Rite i1 Pro)
-I've tried soft proofing on and off (left off for now)
-I've tried resetting my colour settings to import files into the working space as ProPhoto & Adobe RGB 1998
-I've tried setting the import as the calibrated settings for the screen rather than ProPhoto or Adobe RGB 1998
-I've checked that all files (apart from a Dodge/Burn Layer which has to be on Soft Light never affected any files before) were set to normal
-I've tried converting profiles from ProPhoto to Adobe 1998, Adobe 1998 to sRGB
-I've tried going to preferences in User>Me>Library>Preferences>Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings and manually resetting all relevant references
-I've tried flushing and resetting all preferences
-I've tried to uninstall and install Photoshop SC6 from scratch
-I've tried restarting the image from the raw file with the new install of CS6, done all the edits again manually...
And it still does the same thing. Whenever I have adjustment layers on my file and have some contrast added that I want to save, it flattens the whole image out..The last attachment is what it looks like in photoshop and another with my colour settings for the (calibrated) screen
Photoshop :: Can't Use Brightness / Contrast In Layers
Dec 16, 2011Brightness/contrast only seems to have an effect on the 'background' layer--not on any subsequent layers I apply. And it only seems to be on the current docs that I am using--if I open some older ps docs from the recent past, brightness/contrast works fine on all layers...?

View 4 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Quickly Selecting Contrast
Jan 7, 2009I have a custom brush defined of my signature that I put on my photos. As I want the signature to be subtle so it doesn't detract from the photo, I use a colour that almost blends with the colours in that corner of the photo. The signature is visible, yet it doesn't attract attention.
As examples, the signature would be a shade of green over grass, blue over ocean, grey over asphalt, etc.
Selecting the color to use is trial-and-error, tweaking it several times so it isn't too bright, too dark, or too contrasting with the background. As each photo needs a different colour, this becomes time consuming after hundreds of images.
Is there a tool or other way in PS (either CS2 or CS4) to select a colour like this more quickly? Perhaps one that picks an "average" colour from the area for the signature, and then tunes it a bit brighter or darker so it will show up?
At the moment I an experimenting with using the Eye Dropper, set to 101x101 sample averaging (the largest available). So with the signature brush selected, I Alt-click to get this average colour. But then I still need to make the colour lighter or darker, otherwise the signature blends in too well, almost invisible. Is their a shortcut key way to lighten or darken the selected foreground colour?
Photoshop :: LCD / TFT Monitor Contrast Ratios And...
Sep 6, 2008Looking to switch to the LCD / TFT type monitors - am on CRTs at the moment...
Some questions:
1/ I see that in many cases (models), even though the brightness remain constant - 300 cd/m2 - the contrast ratios vary from 800:1 to 3000:1
I would think the higher contrast ratio would be better but often more expensive monitors offer the 800:1 and cheaper ones offer the 3000:1. This from the same manufacturer. Am i missing something?
2/ Today, is there a difference between TFT and LCD when it comes to monitors or do they mean the same thing or rather are talking about the same thing?
3/ Another wild difference... some expensive ones are talking of a 16ms refresh while the cheaper ones are at 5ms
4/ Ideally, i'm looking for a 1600 x 1200 but - obviously these are not the widescreens. See some available at 20/21 inch category and they are the traditional 3:4 screen ratio (like CRTs). So would it be better to go for a 24" at 1920 x 1200... in about the same price range?

Jul 19, 2004While retouching a 'under-exposed' photo, sometimes I can't decide which degree(?) is the relevant skin tone. Though after finishing a work, tones and overall contrast seems to be changed whenever I look at it. Maybe because of various web-site BG, my physical condition, lighting...etc.
I want to know which one do you prefer just based on skin tone and contrast.

View 9 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Soft Colors And Contrast
Aug 15, 2006I came across this forum as I was browsing various techniques on how I can improve and I very much tried to duplicate the colors/tone/atmosphere of this photo:
I don't know how to quite explain it or if I am using the right terms, but you can notice that the overall tone and color of the photo is somewhat washed out? Like the colors are a bit muted and soft but not too extremely so. And yet none of the picture loses its crispness. The colors look soft? I don't know how to quite explain it articulately.
I first tried to make a duplicate layer and then blurred it, and then proceeded to reduce its opacity, but that just made everything look "glowy", like something from heaven.

Oct 8, 2013This is an old Kodak PCD image of a stained glass window converted to a TIF and a small portion made into a JPG for the purpose of this illustration. I would like to make 2 corrections:
1) I would like to accentuate the brush marks in the face. From my humble notions of PS I know that pulling the contrast slider across isn't really the answer but something like finding the fainter, darker pixels and accentuating them with some kind of mask is more the way to go.
2) There is an outdoor shadow that runs up the left hand side of the image which I would like to eliminate.
