Photoshop :: Determining Blown Highlights
Dec 17, 2006I know that in ACR I can see where I have blown highlights by checking the highlight box. If I am working in PS CS2 and I want to see areas with blown highlights in a photo.

View 1 RepliesI am using a Nikon D200 and Photoshop CS3. I am shooting 1 stop plus/minus and merging to HDR. It seems that the highlights are always getting blown out much more than the middle image. The shadows are brought up fairly well, but the entire upper end of the curve seems blown out with loss of contrast. I have been experimenting with different methods during the 32 to 16 bit conversion to correct it but have not been so pleased with the results. I can get the highlights back down, but the upper end is fairly washed out with loss of contrast. It seems like the middle part of the curve is also pushed up a bit which would account for the loss of upper end contrast.

I was able to bring back ALL the detal in the sky by sliding the highlight slider down and I can tfigure out how in the world I got that selected?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have taken a photo outside which has my subject and background is trees and sky. Sadly the sky has blown out and is practically white. What I wold like to do is replace it with blue sky and clouds. I have my original photo, then created a layer of the same image to create a more rich in colour by using overlay which is fine. But now I need to improve the sky, but when I create a new layer (blank) and click filer, render, clouds it overlays over the top completely.

Used ACR to tone map, then saved the photo using "save". When I go back to LR5, the picture is nowhere what it is in PS. Highlights are blown and greatly over exposed. The same saved TIF looks great in PS.

the first one is the display, the secon is the render. should they not look similar???
i am looking to create a blown up square (so with rounded corners and bended/oval sides)
the one attached is with the pucker/bloat effect, but only at 2-3% maximum since the corners are starting to disform (as you can see already below).
there must be way to create good blown up squares (maybe there's another common term for these kind of squares)...?
I'm new to LR4 and I need to burn some blown out photos. When clicking on the brush, choosing burn (darken), I then hold down "O" to highlight my work.
When I click the brush on the area to be burned, it puts a black dot there, moving the brush does not leave the red trail so I can see ehat I'm burning. Then when I move the exposure slider, nothing happens.
WHy is it leaving that dot and why cant I burn? It has been working fine for weeks, I must have hit a button or changed a setting.
I went to multiple other photos with no luck, rebooted my Mac, no luck.
I tryed brush A & B and it was working on B but it was much more intense of a burn and not what I was looking for.
What tips/tricks are there to establishing a matching (or believably acceptable) perspective? The only thing I've got in the frame is the edge of the box, but just lining that up didn't do it.
I've attached a sample of what I'm talking about, with a sign that clearly is NOT correct.
How do you determine the size for the worksheet you're working on? For example I want create a standard size landscape layout size piece of paper for a flyer.... What size should I use? 10X8?

simple road widening section
subassembly from centerline is LINKOFFSETONSURFACE out to a target alignment
next sub is good old LANEINSIDESUPER, using depths for PAVE1DEPTH and SUB-BASEDEPTH
the corridor definition under SURFACES specifies top links for both PAVE1 and SUB-BASE surfaces, but they appear to ignore that and cut across the road (see graphic) making a mess of it
do I need to add a link code to LINKOFFSETONSURFACE subassembly? other work-around?
Is there any way to "fix" blown out white areas in a photograph? For example--portions of a wedding dress.

The problem is that on my keyboard I have to press Alt Gr to make ~ so can't use Ctrl + Alt + ~ . How can I change the short cut? I know that you can select the highlights by "Select -> Color Range.. -> Highlights" but the result is not as soft as with the short cut. Are there any other ways to select the highlights?

I was shooting into the sun and sea has too many highlights on it.
What is the best way of reducing the intensity of these highlights.
In analog photography, various soft focus filters will create a glow in the highlights, without blurring them (a slight loss of contrast, but no loss of resolution). I've tried a duplicate layer, Gauss blur, lighten blend mode.... just got a glowing blur....

Is this function not available in Photoshop 7?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been using the HDR merge function over the last few days and happily converted numerous images successfully. However, all of a sudden, pictures from the same photo shoot are being converted incorrectly and the HDR function is causing the highlights to be red and completely blown out. I'm doing nothing different and all the lighting is the same as before. Does my software have a bug?
I've just tried doing the HDR merge on the same files in my old Photoshop CS3 and I don't get the problem. Perhaps there's a bug causing it???
In Lightroom and other programs I own I can click a button to show blown highlights or clipped shadows. I can't find this in PS3 unless I apply a curve or levels adjustment.

it says "Control+click on the Menu Text layer in the palette to select its pixels, then click on the New Layer"
problem is I think they're using an older version of photoshop and mentioning shortcut keys. I can't control+click the menu text layer, i want to know how I can 'select the pixels'
I thought the shortcut key to select highlights is Ctrl+Alt+Tilde. Why is this not working in Photoshop CS4?

It's one of the most popular tools for shading and highlighting images, and is used in nice background wallpapers located at Spoono.com ..... Im wondering how do you use the airbrush to make effective highlights..? What is the key to mastering it? I know practicing and playing around is one way, but Ive spent 20 hours and I cant do anything close to the beautiful images I see
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow does one determine if the version of AutoCAD that is installed ( 2012 mechanical in this case ) is an x32 or x64 bit installation. Normally I would just look to see if it was installed under Program Files or Program Files ( x86 ) but it is located on D: drive under another folder so I don't have that option.
View 1 Replies View RelatedNot sure if this is something I'm able to do in Inventor...
I have a "damper", it's more or less a diesel exhaust flapper type vent, that hangs upside down and is held in the horizontal/closed position by a counterweight.
Typically we would experiment in the shop with the counterweight quantity and the length of the arm required to get the proper operation of the damper/flapper in respect to the air/exhaust flow.
Since we know the axis along the shaft for the flapper and the weight of the flapper and it's bracket on the arm...is there a way to figure this out in Inventor? Obviously it still may need to be dialed in/tweaked...but I'm not sure if it's even possible.

I have written some code that draws a graph. The graph starts at the 0,0 default of AutoCad Model Space and goes +X and +/-Y. I want to redraw the labels along the X axis every time the Zoom is changed by the user, to change the text height and density of the labels. I need to know the the current Zoom in relation to the actual extents of the graph. Ideally I would like to redraw the text as a result of the "zoom event" I don't know if there is such a thing or not.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEssentially, I have an odd shape that I fill in with a hatching. SOMETIMES, it will give me the area in the properties window (or when I use the list command). but other times, it will not give me the area.
I just hatched 4 different (but same general shape) areas, and on 3 of them CAD was able to compute the area, but not the 4th hatched area.
I created all 4 hatches using the exact same steps, so I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong. The CAD Tech at the office cant seem to figure it out either .
I wish to determine the angle between two lines (that meet). I know how to do this manually, although does AutoCAD have a built in command similar the DI command maybe, or a LISP?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need determining the scale of a drawing I got from the internet in ratio form. the drawing itself has a little scale bar in the corner, however, since i do not know the measurements of the actual structure i have no reference point and therefore cannot figure out the scale in ratios.
I read on here that you can use general reference point such as the average dimensions of a door/window ceiling etc. but the drawing is a longitudinal section of a church, namely, Temppeliaukio kirkko, which has no 'standard' dimensions.
I need this drawing in 1:100
