Photoshop :: Darkening Black And White PSD

Feb 13, 2013

I work with floorplans a lot in my job and I come across this a lot so I figured I'd ask to save me a ton of time. Sometimes I get floorplans in a PDF format that I have to edit in Photoshop. Sometimes, the floorplans come to me very light (the black outlines of walls, doors, the building, etc.) are not as dark as I need them to be. I've tried to go to the Adjustments Menu --> Curves and darkened it that way. But then when I go to flatten the picture, it goes back to the light black color it was before. Is there any way to make the lines darker and to stay darker?

Photoshop :: Darkening Pixel Values

Jul 21, 2004

I am trying to quantitate data on some black and white microscope pictures I took, but the images are too bright in parts and I need to darken them down.

Is there a way that I can use photoshop to darken certain pixel values within the photo?

I have tried adjusting the levels in the picture so that the greys are limited, and I have tried changing the greyscale, but to no avail.

I need to make it so that two images have the same pixel values so that they can be calculated evenly.

Photoshop :: Colors Mysteriously Darkening

Jul 23, 2008

I'm doing a series of illustrations for a client. I scanned in the black and white inked drawings and then colored them in Photoshop 7 as TIFFs. I worked in CMYK mode the whole time.

when I look at a thumbnail of the saved TIFFs or open them in any other application (windows picture & fax viewer, paint, etc.) I get these dark and murky colors. I get these same murky colors printing from these applications. However, if I open the TIFF image in Photoshop the colors go back to the way they should be. They also print correctly from Photoshop. If I save the image as a JPEG, the colors save correctly.

My client just printed off the first round of proofs (from a laser printer, I assume) and the colors are dark and murky.
The problem is that they want the images sent as TIFFs and I don't know what the four color offset printer is going to do.

Photoshop :: Darkening Lines Of A Hand Drawing?

Sep 21, 2012

I have some hand drawings scanned into a computer that I want to clean up in Photoshop.I'm going to use the eraser tool to erase the smudges, though I want to darken the lines of the drawing without having to trace back over it with a pencil, pen, or paint brush. I played a bit by darkening the levels.

GIMP :: How To Prevent Photo From Darkening

Dec 23, 2011

I have a camera I like, but a problem with it. I took a few indoor photos and it took awhile to get enough light arranged for them. When I put the camera's SD card in the card reader and looked at the photos they looked great. I copied the photos to a folder then deleted everything on the card to get it ready for the next photos.

Then when I look at the photos from the desktop folder, they are much darker. I don't do this a lot but it has happened at least once before, and I think it does that all the time. Possible to just lighten photos with Gimp?

I did find a page that said you could, but it is probably an old page, at brighten dark photo with Gimp. It instructs me to Quote:Duplicate the original image layer in the layers dialog. Change the Mode of this duplicated layer to Value -mode to use this layer for a retouching brightening of colors.

When I create a duplicate layer, click on image, hover over mode, none of the options are value. Maybe that was for an older version of Gimp? The page doesn't have a date which isn't nice.

What the problem might be between the Canon view, and the windows 7 view? Is there something I can tweak in 7?

Edit: I found it in the colors > brightness and contrast, but maybe I can leave this up in case someone knows how to stop the darkening from happening in the first place. The photo quality isn't as good as it was in the Canon folder.

Is there a way to darken the color of multiple shapes all at once? Eg, If I had a number of shapes all in different, pastelle colors and wanted to see how those shapes would look in more prominent, darker vertions of themselves, how would I do that?
 
E.g., turning the light purple of the shape below to the dark purple in the image.

Lightroom :: 2 Darkening RAW Files Upon Import?

Mar 6, 2012

In my Lightroom2 whenever I import my RAW files (I shoot RAW and JPG) they are automatically darkened in Lightroom and I don't know why. I'll import them and for a few seconds see how I shot them and how they should look and then when I click on the image in the DEVELOP module, it will change the exposure and make the picture about two stops darker. I don't understand why it is doing this. I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark II. I know it's not my camera, I have tried every setting on it. I believe Lightroom is compromising my images and darkening them.

Paint.NET :: Lighten And Darkening Specific Areas Correctly

Jun 6, 2008

I need to know the best way to lighten part of a picture without it being two-toned. An example of this is when I took a picture of someone inside a house.

The orange dress is vivid, and the white wall and door came out good also. The problem is that the lighting wasn't good enough to bring out the true skin tone of the person. So much so that the person's face could hardly be seen, and her neck and hands came out the same as her face also.

I tried to lighten her face by using the Ellipse in Tools>Adjustment>Brightness/Contrast making sure not to go outside the perimeter of the face. I then zoomed to 1600X and manually changed the rest of it a few pixels at a time by switching to the Rectangle in Tools . The result after more than an hour later was something that looked akin to pasting an egg in place of her face on the picture. It was grainy and looked ridiculous.

I don't want to lighten the whole picture because it ruins the true color of the dress, and not as important, the door and walls don't look as sharp and vivid either.

P.S. I would also like to know how to do the reverse; darken a specific area without the two-toned look.

Paint.NET :: Apply Darkening Tool To Certain Part Of Image

Mar 9, 2013

I'm looking to take a certain part of an image (a small shape of it) and then apply darkening, progressively, from that small area.  That is, the image gets darker and darker as it radiates out from that shape. Like a vignette, but progressively darkening from the point rather than a strait darkness.
 
Tried playing around with curves and didn't really do this effect.

Lightroom :: Negative Highlights Brighten The Image Instead Of Darkening?

Mar 6, 2012

This is happening in Lightroom 4 final and is possibly related to this issue: Re: Brightening shadows darkens highlightsBrightening shadows darkens highlights.
 
Start with a fresh imageSet Whites to a highish value, like 55-60 or better 100.Slowly move the Highlights or Shadows slider to the left
 
The image gets brighter even it is supposed to get darker. If you move Highlights to the positive side, the image gets darker.

Paint.NET :: Darkening Lines In Drawing And Keeping Relative Gradient

Sep 18, 2011

How do i darken and maybe thicken all lines in a line drawing?

I need to darken the grey lines in a two color (grey & green) line drawing since they are hard to see.

One way is a fill but there maybe some quick method that proportionately darkens just the grey pixels while preserving the relative grey gradient between grey pixels.

Photoshop :: How To Cut Image From White Background And Place On Black Background

Aug 24, 2011

I seem to be having problems when I lasso round a specific part of a photo taken with a white background and then try to add that part of the image to a plain #000000 black background.

I always seem to get a white outline around the image when I place it on the black background, even when its on ZERO feathered. I don't like using feathered as it adds a smudge round the outside of the image.

Photoshop :: 2 Pics - One With Only Background, One With Object & Background

Aug 12, 2008

I recently saw on TV that someone had 2 nearly identical images - one with just the background, another one from exactly the same point of view featuring an object before the background.

He was then able to subtract the background so only the object in front remained. Is that possible with Photoshop as well? I have version CS3.

GIMP :: Cut Out Background From Logo To Get Transparent Background

Sep 16, 2011

I was asked to cut out the background from a logo to make it transparent so the logo would look nice on a variety of backgrounds. I've been given a good quality jpeg file.

What I did was I selected (by colour) the background (white), inverted the selection, copied it and pasted as a new image.

It's all fine (the logo itself doesn't have any other elements) but there's still some whiteish/greyish outline around certain elements of the logo.

If I were to do it manually, it'd probably take ages. What would be the best way to accomplish it?

GIMP :: How To Change 1920-1080p Background Into 1920-1200 Background

May 4, 2012

I want to change a 1920-1080 p background, into a 1920 - 1200 background.

I don't want to re-size it or lose image quality, the background for this can be easily replicated through some simple editing (drawing strait lines with the paint brush tool, and basically filling in to expand the background) Is there a way to do this? Here is the picture I want to change:

[URL].....

I just want it so that the pin-wheel design extends outward as to make the entire image 1920-1200, rather then the 1920-1080 it is now. (without losing image quality of the center wheel.)

Photoshop :: Background For CS3?

May 1, 2007

Im on a MacBook Pro and I just installed Photoshop CS3. Its all fine n dandy, but the actual photoshop window bugs me. There is no background for the application. so if I'm working on something, switch to firefox to look at something, then switch back to photoshop I can still see the firefox window.

How can I add a background? I cannot stand this, It distracts my eye from the actual document.

I've look through the options and I cannot find anything, awhile ago I found some 3rd party mac software that added a background to any app, but I can't find it again.

Photoshop :: Background

May 13, 2008

I am creating an invitation for my wedding. All I am trying to do is place 2 images (family crests) on one page without them overlaping. I create a 'NEW' page with the U.S. Paper preset, then 'Place' one pic in the upper right, resize it to fill the top right corner, then 'Place' the other one in the bottom left and resize it to fill the bottom left corner. Problem is, the background of the second image overlaps the first one (white background). When I try to select the part that overlaps and cut it, it says I can't because it's a Smart Object. All I want to do is to be able to see the 1st image behind the second one. The images themselves would not overlap if they were transparent, just the white background of the images... I hope this makes sense... I need to be able to see-through the parts that overlap, since that area is just white background anyway!
