View 5 RepliesYes, I'm probably the only person on the planet that wants this, but I liked how the Auto Tone auto adjusted the Exposure slider (ONLY!) and left all the other sliders at zero in the Lightroom 4 beta.
Is there a way to write a preset that returns that behavior?
I have photoshop cs4 and I cannot find the Auto smart fix, auto levels, and auto contrast nor the adjustment for each that I had with photoshop elements.
View 10 Replies View RelatedWhile editing two very similar photos and using the CS6 auto-tone command, one of the photos photoshop was able to truly fix up while the other barely changed. Here is the example:
Photo A was very blue and dark; the auto-tone command magically fixed it up to have nice color variation in the rock and made it brighter. Here is the before/after:
On the other hand, photo B didn't work out the same way; the auto-tone command barely did anything, even though I thought both photos looked to have very similar problems (blue, dark, etc).Here are the links to the full original photo A and photo B in case they are useful...
how can I achieve on photo B the same effect that auto-tone did for photo A! Is there any way to find out what adjustments auto-tone made?
In camera raw, "apply auto tone adjustments" option in the preferences dialog is not same with the "auto" button on the basic panel, isn't it? Both of them control the same sliders, are there any relationship between them?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI imported tiff images into Lightroom 4 that were scanned by DigMyPics.com. The color of the images look good on the Windows 7 photo viewer. It looks horrible in Lightroom 4. My monitor is callibrated, the import develop setting is set to "none" , the box is unchecked "apply auto tone adjustments".I think that the windows viewer is showing the accurate color of the scan and LR is not. I don't think DigMyPics would send this awful color.
View 10 Replies View RelatedHaving just loaded 10,000+ scanned negatives in LR 4.3, I am applying Auto Tone as a starting point for development settings. I have selected all images in Grid View, right-clicked to Develop Settings...Auto Tone. I can then go to the Develop page and Auto Tone is shown in every images History.the Auto button is still visible and I can click on it and get different [generally better] settings.
Is there a reason why Auto Tone applied to multiple photos produces different development settings from when it is applied individually to each photo?
There is an apply auto tone adjustments checkbox in preferences, but it does not work properly. After checking it, some photos still require to click on auto button on the basic panel.

View 2 Replies View Relatedis there any way to prevent lightroom 4 to apply auto settings to the image after it is returned from treatment in a plugin? Typically, I would launch SFX or other plugins from LR4 by specifying "submit a copy of the image with LR adjustments". When finished, the result image is returned to LR4 and auto settings are applied to it, as if it was freshly imported. This is very annoying. I have every time to reset all settings manually (exposure, whites, blacks, etc) one by one. Is there a way to treat plugin returns differently from importing images from a disk/card?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a stack of screenshots to maintain, where what changes most often is the release information: so, I've made a separate .psd with the header and used File > Place to add it as a smart object. What I'm not having any luck with, is changing that single .psd file and seeing the update ripple through to all the screenshots.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWorking in the CC3D features, I am constantly making changes to my bump map. Every time I step-backwards, or make a significant change to the bump texture (smart object?), CC auto-saves the layer. This specific file is a very very large document (3 gigs in the bump texture layer alone), and the 3D layer has lots of lights and is very complex.
This auto-refresh/update really bogs down the time that it would take me to make my changes. I have a very fast machine (I know it's fast, I dont need to list my specs), and I have all shadows disabled.
How do I disable linked smart-object auto-update/refresh?
I just ran into an issue with Photshop Elements 9. I was working on a digital painting trying to use a flesh tone color and while using the brush tool, when it started coloring a much more saturated version of the color I wanted. When I used the pencil tool though the color was exactly how it was supposed to look. I don't like the jagged edge the lines created using the pencil tool make.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a lot of pictures taken under restricted library conditions where lighting is wysiwyg. A lot of the pics end up with an annoying gradation of tone caused by the poor lighting (and my poor photography skills), such as the attached image.
I use PSE 9 on a Mac.
How can I apply a uniform tone to images like this in PSE? For example, in the attached sample, the left-hand portion has a nice strong tone, while the right side is washed out. How can I create a nice unformity across the entire image?
how do I increase the skin tone on one face and decrease ir on another
View 17 Replies View RelatedI use smart fix to process multiple files in organizer. Smart fix creates a new version of each file with a filename with "_edited-1" added to the original filename. I then flatten version set, and tell Photoshop to delete the original files. Now I have the edited files, all with the "_edited-1" filename format. I want to retain the original picture filename. Outside of Photoshop, I can bulk rename the photos to get rid of the "_edited-1" additions to the filenames, but then Photoshop needs to rebuild the database. There must be a simpler way to edit all the photos and retain the original photo filenames. I'm using Photoshop Elements 11 and am inexperienced with the package.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Elements 10. In the Elements 6 release you can do a FIND on all untagged items, so I can easily find all pictures that I have not yet gotten around to tagging.
On Elements 10 I find that the software has automatically added a "Smart Tag" tag to ALL of my pictures, making the FIND UNTAGGED useless. I assumed this happened when I converted my catalog. I have now gone back and disabled the Smart Tag feature (now that I know about it) so that new pictures will NOT get Smart Tegged. However, my database of tens of thousands of pictures has been contaminated by Smart Tags.
Is there anyway to get all the Smart Tags cleared out of the database so I can find the pictures that I have not yet manually tagged?Alternately, is there a way to find pictures that have a Smart Tag but no manual tag?
I have an item in my layers and want to make it into a smart object, when I right click that option does not come up. To make into a smart object does not come up anywhere in my layers tab.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThere are no Smart albums displayed. nor is 'create new smart album' displayed as an available option when I click on the + Album button. When I try to create a new album 'last 6 months' (which I know was pre-created as a smart album in a previous version of element) a warning message that this album already exists is displayed, but I can find no way to locate this smart album or create a new smart album? Is my newly downloaded Elements 11 corrupted in some way, or are the smart albums just hidden and need making visible in some way?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI updated my software from Elements 7 to 11 some weeks ago but I'm still not happy with the structure of my new Organizer. I'm a planespotter which means something like collecting photos of different aircrafts and airlines like post stamps. In PSE 7 I used the tag- and category-tool for organizing these photos by airport. This part works in PSE 11 as well.But I also used to create one 'Smart-Album' for each airline I've ever seen. The big advantage was that I had to create such an album for just one time and every photo I ever named e.g. "Lufthansa" was automatically sorted into the corresponding smart-album. So I had a list that showed all airlines I've taken at least one photo of.
I know that Adobe replaced the smart-albums in PSE 11 by the 'saved searches'. But I don't like this tool, it's not what I'm looking for. I want a visible list of my airlines and it should be created more or less intuitively/automatically, to have not more to do manually than before (efficiency and clarity is very important to me thinking of 5000+ photos and 300+ airlines).
So my questions would be:
1. Is there any possibility to manage it the way I described above in PSE 11?
2. If not, anything that could be suitable for my requirements?
1. Is there a way for masking each smart filter separately on a single smart object other than nesting one smart object into the another?
2. Is there a way for removing the previously created smart object?
I mean ... let's say I have a smart object containing four layers. Can I remove smart object from these layers?
It's been running in the background on my computer for several days now. I'm willing to let it finish, if it does indeed finish... but if its normal way of operating is to use 100% CPU when idle for ever... then I'll shut it off.
BTW, I am not asking how to turn it off, I know how to do that. I'd just like to know that it will reach the end of my library at some point and then only run on new additions.
Where is Auto-Blend in Photshop Elements 12? Is it named something else, or not available in this version.

However, in PSE11, folder view has gone. I can sort by Newest, Oldest and Import Batch. but I want to know how can I do auto-sort-by-name?
How do I turn off the keyword tag "Smart tags"? I do not want an automate Smart tags on my images.
