What 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.

what is the best method for adjusting brightness and contrast in CS6? Is it by simply adjusting the Brightness / Contrast properties in an Adjustment Layer or is there a better way of going about it?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIt'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.
Brightness/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 5 Replies View RelatedI try to apply Levels & or Brightness & Contrast settings to an image, it always seems to revert back to the way it was. The filters won't do anything it seems. I have Adobe Photoshop CS2. At home it did the same thing and I re-installed Photoshop only to find out it still did not work.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to the Brightness/Contrast?
I am tired of going through the menu.
'Brightness/Contrast' screen becomes unexplainably absent while using my PhotoShop 7.0 in XP. When I click on 'Brightness/Contrast' the eyedropper becomes active as usual but the dialog screen with the two 'sliders' for brightness and contrast is not visible. Where is it? If I uninstall and reinstall it's OK again for a while.

I have an indoor group photo using flash light. The problem is the center of the picture is much brighter than the sides. Is there any easy way to increase the brightness and contrast towards the sides, and gradually decrease the brightness at the middle?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHaving trouble with my Photoshop 7. When I want to use the Brightness/Contrast adjustment within the Image/Adjustment section the scroll bars for brightness/contrast do not come up. An eyedropper tool appears. When this happens I can only click on the image and change the color squares on the left in the tools area. I can't even close the image or close the program. I have to Alt/ctrl/delete to close the program. I've also uninstalled the program & reloaded but this problem continues.

That’s what I like about these forums. A great way to get straight to the point and learn stuff fast.
I'm importing RAW files straight from a CF card reader into my network storage drive via LR5.3. While reviewing as it imports initially each image looks great but a few seconds after it loads onto the screen it seems like LR applies a bit of extra brightness and lessens the contrast and I lose a load of detail that was there originally. I've not touched the import settings and no filters are being applied by myself on import.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to adjust brightness/contrast and saturation over about 30 layers on an animated GIF. Everything looks great until I do a save for web and click on the animate box. At that point, the color/changes drop off completely. It shows up fine when it's just the one layer being shown. And it seems to be showing up on all the layers when I'm in the main edit window. I keep looking and making sure I have the 'this adjustment affects all layers below,' and I do. I even tried saving a GIF with the other setting turned on and I got the same thing.
Anyway, I exported a few GIFs, thinking maybe the adjustment layers would kick in as it saved, but nope. Neither layer saved into the exported GIF.
I'm sure this is just a simple setting I'm missing, but I'm banging my head against the desk at this point.
Every time I use adjustments like brightness/contrast, PSP seems to remember those settings, because the next time I use them, they start with the same values as I used before. But I do not want that. This way I always have to move all sliders to their zero position before adjusting. Every image needs different values and I always like to start from scratch (zero values).
So, how can I tell PSP not to remember those settings every time?
I am able to change the brightness/contrast for part of an image by using, for example, the Rectangle Select tool. I want to be a little trickier though. I would like to use the rectangle select tool, but have the effect of the brightness/contrast apply 100% at the bottom of the rectangle and say 10% at the top, with gradations from 100 to 10 from bottom to top. Is this possible?
View 3 Replies View Relatedi've got the latest version of gimp and ufraw.
i have a folder with about 100 jpg files in it that i want to apply a general brightness contrast setting to.
Using the main interface to do each one I would need to go to Tools > Colour > Brightness Contrast and set a Brightness value of 16 and leave the contrast at 0
What i would like to do obvious is to run a batch command to do this operation on all files in a folder
I've tried guessing at a few command lines to do it but all have failed and basically how to do it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat I'd like to do is adjust the color and brightness/contrast of many layers of an animation. Now, for a still image with many layers I know you can generally add a partially transparent layer over the whole thing, however, since it's an animated .gif I have to do the same thing to each individual layer. I could probably go through and do it by hand and just get it over with. But, I'm curious if there's a feature for this, or is there a plugin that can repeat actions for multiple layers?

I would like to be able to apply the "brightness" and "contrast" controls to the photos in such a way that the amount of change varies across the picture, in much the way that the "gradient" control works for a color or a pattern.

View 1 Replies View RelatedQuick 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen 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.
