I'm using photoshop 6 and have a problem. When I use dutone curves,I can't reset it. Namely that when I finished tinkering with the curve and save the image, when I start on a new image the old curve is still in place. How can I reset the curve back to its original state?
View 4 RepliesI am preparing a batch of images for test submission, for a stock photo library.Recently a person working for one of the visual effects studios in London happened to tell me that these strict agencies use some set of layers that can separate tonality and color values to check for banding, dirtiness, noise and all those technical flaws that the human eye can't notice on a monitor.He said they perhaps have an action for it so that they can review faster.
He said that it is known as 'Craze Curves' or 'Visibility Curves' technique.He further added that all the studios use it before giving the final files to clients so that there is no issue in printing afterwards.It is sort of a quality control check and has been used by digital and advertising agencies all over the world.
But now his email seems to have changed and I can't get in touch with him to know how to use the technique.
I have a problem with duotone, before when I use to use this technique, I would do grayscale->Duotone, and in the duotone box I would get a list of preset colors such as PANTONE 122c, but now when I go there i just get box where i must select my own color with the mixer, how do i get these preset colors back?

I am trying to get a duotone (or maybe tritone?) effect - with copper and blue.
how to create this effect? I am calling this duotone for the lack of better word, which it may not be. I am fairly sure two colors dominate. I do not have the original image so I canot tell what the colors looked like before adjustments.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two Duotone images generated using CS5. One is of some trees, with "holes" cut out where the leaves were (I used a a mask to generate transparent regions where the leaves should be), and another Duotone image of just the leaves. I would like to combine the two, with each Duotone image retaining its unique and different color scheme. If all went well, the leaves would be visible in the transparent "holes" of the tree image. However, when I try combining the two, by dragging one on top of the other, they both take on the Duotone color scheme of the trees image. So I do see the leaves in the "holes", but they have lost their unique coloring. Is it possible to combine these two Duotone images in some manner? The Duotones are saved in the default .psd format.

I have a duotone image (warm grey and black) as an eps in photosho linked to Illustrator file. I need to be able to adjust each color as needed in photoshop. It is already setup as a duotone image and correctly separates in illustrator. I can do overall adjustments as needed but I would like to be able to throw a curve/adjust each color on it's own as needed in photoshop, and then relink.
OS MAc SnowLeopard, CS5.
I have this image, which is CMYK, and need to create a (green and black) duotone.
Best steps that I need to take with this. I am not sure what PMS green I want at this stage.
I have a 2-color logo that is in TIFF format but was created as CMYK. It is black and Pantone 323. I am using it in a two-color job and need it to be in the 2 spot colors. I changed it to grayscale and then changed it to duotone, but the colored part shows up pretty muddy and dark looking, like it has too much black in it. I have tried changing the curves but that doesn't seem to help much. If it is duotone and the colors are specified to the printer, will it print correctly, even though it looks yucky onscreen?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHoping someone can help me out with this - it's been one of those gaps in my knowledge that I've never really gotten around to filling. I've looked around the net a number of times, but it's also one of those things that I don't really know what to search for. I'm guessing it would come under some kind of duotone or limited palette affair.
So much so, that I can't even find an example image to show you what I'm talking about
Everyone has seen what I'm talking about I'm sure. If you imagine a nice, sharp, black and white photo - then imagine superimposing a colour on top. So you have the same nice sharp contours and tones - except you now have black, colour shades and white - instead of grey shades.
If you wan to use duotone to give that depth and vide variety of tones you cannot use the BW adjusment layer correct?
Because you need to start with a greyscale to get to duotone, correct?
Recently one of my photographer friend shared a scanned photograph, which was processed in photoshop and Duotone color mode was applied. So it's a PSD with Duotone color mode. Now when we go to Save as option, there is no option for saving it as TIFF or JPEG.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhy am I losing the effect/color when going from duotone, tritone, etc. to rgb? Not using spot color, just using the picker to select the colors.
The when I try to change modes to RGB so I can save as a jpg it goes all b&w. Never had this issue before. This seems to happen only when I use the artistic filter graphic pen. I go to graphic pen use it, then grayscale, then duotone, then rgb.
I am desiging labels for a vinyl record.
I had a rough deisgn to i converted ot greyscale but then no option for dutone was available.
So I made a new greyscale file...import the layers i want into a new psd file made to be the right size i require.
then convert to greyscale and save
but i still have no option to make duotone...
With other files not included the layeres i have imported in it works but not with these.
With a RGB or CYMK no problem for me to have certain element in the picture distinguishing from the rest. But now I have to do the same building up in duotone (2 PMS colours). It looks like Photoshop doesn't allow to put a black&white layer into a duotone document (it automatically turns into the 2 duotone colours).
So how can i make a duotone image (source = FC) in which a part looks "black and white" (1 colour=black) and a part "lights up" in the second colour (2 colour= yellow)?
- so I know how to make a duotone image, that's not the problem
- i know how to work with layers and masks

how to use Curves, in CS3.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHow do you get bezier curves in PhotoShop CS6 to act the way they used to in CS5.5? In 5.5 i would be able to move/adjust the path with the direct select tool and the control arms would stay at the angle they were created at. In CS6, depending on where you direct selected the path, would depend on how the path could be/would be adjusted. And the control arms have become more fluid, rather than static. They do not keep the angle they were created.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do I get a percentage value in Curves-in CS5 it used to be command-click would make a dot on a point on the curve, to allow for accurate adjustment...
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen making adjustments in the curves panel the procedure in previous editions was to raise the curve in the upper section to lighten the image and lower it to darken the image. Mine is working just the opposite. When i raise (or lift) the curve the image darkens and when I lower it lightens. The lower half for contrast works the in the same backwarsds way.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen using Curves to increase contrast for an image, I see that some people will use the eyedropper to define an anchor point on the Curve to manipulate, and others just seem to drag on a spot on the curve without first using the eyedropper.
1. Is there a reason to not use the eyedropper, and instead just drag a point on the curve?
2. Won't using the eyedropper always be more accurate than just eyeballing a spot on the curve to drag?
I have a question about using toning curves...
In older versions of Photoshop, I was able to use Paul Butzi's beautiful toning curves (which are ACV files) through the Curves menu.
There was a 'Load' button, and if I pressed that, I could browse my curves folder and pick whatever curve I wanted. Is there any way to do that in Photoshop CS5? I can't seem to find a 'Load' button under Curves, and I'm not sure how to use the Custom Curve feature.
I can't seem to load them under Filters, either. How I could load them?
When using Curves, one used to be able to move from one point to the next ("point" is what I use to refer to the points that determine the shape of the curve) by holding the Control key and pressing Tab.
This no longer appears to work with Photoshop CS5. I am wondering how I can move from one point to the next without having to click on the next point. More often than not I end up actually moving the point when trying to click on it.
So, I absolutely love a lot of the changes I've come across so far. I am very happy with the crop tool changes except for one thing. I work on hundreds of B/W headshots at a time where all I do is crop>curves. Up until CS6, when in the crop tool it would still show tone info in the info pallette. Now it shows nothing. This puts a crimp in my workflow because I either have to open the curves dialog or switch to the eyedropper tool to see if I need to apply curves. I have noticed that if I hide the crop area it will revert to showing the info .
Also, with the curves dialog I am going to complain about something that started with CS5. The 'click and drag in image to modify curve' feature is pretty cool but it should respect my option settings. I work with it displaying the amount of pigment but the click and drag feature doesn't respect this setting.
As I said small issues (especially the second one) but it would be nice to get them changed.
I am stumped with this problem and havn't found a thread that seems to give me a points in how to simplify the procedure/problem described. Is there a plug-in ?
I am using PS7.0 and am at the beginner end of the spectrum.
I have TWO pictures and want to duplicate the colour values at certain points in the picture. The manual operation would be to:
1) Open Picture #1, put colour samplers in at the points I want duplicated (max 4) and write down on a piece of paper the RGB values at those points. I make the assumption that the points are all present on the Picture #2 and that the tonal values are all different enough that they fall on different parts of the tonal curve. ....
