Photoshop :: HDR Causing Highlights To Turn Red
Oct 25, 2013
I'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???

I can't get Ctrl + Alt + ~ keyboard short cut to work which selects the highlights in an image. 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 have taken a photograph with land in the foreground and sea in the middle and far ground.
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....

It included the ability to change the amount, the tonal width and the radius, BUT, I cannot find it in my PS 7.
Is this function not available in Photoshop 7?

I 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.

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.

I have a picture that I want to dull in selected points as they have burnt out the highlights slightly but I'm not sure which function I should be using.

'making the highlights'
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 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.

I thought the shortcut key to select highlights is Ctrl+Alt+Tilde. Why is this not working in Photoshop CS4?

Ive heard great things about the airbrush.. 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

Mac Mini, 2010, OS 10.8.2, 8GB ram, Photoshop 13.0.4 x64. The Image / Adjustments / shadows / highlights controls are, quite suddenly, not working properly. When the control sliders are moved, nothing happens to the on-screen image until the "OK" button is actuated when any changes made to the sliders are suddenly visible. I have done all the usual things, including re-installing, but nothing works.

I have recently read about and successfully tried applying the Shadows and highlights adjustment to a layer that has been converted to a smart object. This is to retain the shadows and highlights adjustment for further tweaking at a later date, rather like an adjustment layer.
I found however is that one is prevented from working on that layer with say in my case the stamp tool (and other but not all tools), unless the layer is rasterised. This of course causes the shadows/highlight adjustment to be incorporated in the layer and lost to further adjustment.
Is there no way to apply shadows and highlights permanently in a non destructive way, which can be tweaked at a later date?
I am using CS3 Beta on Windows XP Home.

Not sure if ths is the right place to post this...or this forum is just for tech questions. But the Mac guys told me to come over here... because, uh, there's nobody there.
I need some design advice / inspiration. I have an intermediate knowledge of photoshop...just limited talent! (I can do layers, do masking, and some other stuff)
I have a 70-yr old B&W photo of my Mom from when she was just 3 or 4. For a 4x6 party invitation I would like to add some subtle Tiffany-blue turquoise highlights to the picture. (maybe make the bow Tiffany blue, part of the dress, a border....this is where I need the inspiration).

I want embossed type in a form that lightens the underlying image on the highlight side of the embossing and darkens on the shadow side, but leaves the body of the type transparent. How would I do that? I'd be applying some amount of transparency to the text layer, so the type doesn't totally obcure the underlying image.
I generally apply a fairly transparent version of a copyright image in Lightroom, to keep it unobtrusive but still legible, if you really look for it. See the bottom left of the pictures at URL.... I created that copyright image in GIMP or something, but I need to generate some more, and I'd really like to stay in Photoshop.

I usually use feature to bring details out from shadows. I worked very well for me but it seems the way the function works was changed in Photoshop CC,
For example, shadows sliders always made dark areas brighter before but in CC the areas often become darker instead (like in attached picture, decreasing radius doesn't make it brighter). Explanation of mechanism behind the new Shadow / Highlights function.

How do I make the the black/white glossy highlights (that are situated in the bottle) appear over the label to make the label look more realistic. In Photoshop I have the following layers:
background layer: the bottle
layer over the bottle: the label
I think I should use gradients and the rectangular marquee perhaps but I have no clue. The main problem is to incorporate the shadows and highlights on the bottle into the label.

Something happened when I aborted a batch action in ps. Now, every image I open in CR shows the clipped highlights as bright red even B+W CR2's. I have the current patch for cs5 and have re-installed ps with no improvement.

I am following a tut and I am stuck at #26 [URL]........
As you may see below the tuts Layers Panel is not all that useful b/c the layers aren't named.
When I copy the "Orange one" (which I have assumed the author means the cones basic shape) and Flip it Vertically the shapes that have been masked (the shapes that make the white stripes) become visible as well as the highlights and shades. Also, the highlights and shades do not flip with the object/cone. So, that can't be the way to accomplish the desired effect (which is to create a reflection on the base of the cone).
I decided to make a New Layer on top of all the other layers and then to use the Pen tool to redraw the cones shape flip it and move it to just above the Base Layer shape but rather than having just the right side of this shape visible the entire shape comes through which looks awful ~ as I assume from the picture that this reflection is suppose to reach over to the white highlight strip that goes from on top of the cone, down the cone and onto the base.

I am doing simple extrusions in 3D. One or 2 extrusions in a document. Specifically, earrings. I have to save every few steps , because PS is going to crash at least once per hour.
My computer has 12GB RAM, and a 1GB GPU. My MAC is less than a year old. It should be able to handle the workload.
When I'm doing 3D I shut down all other programs on my computer.
I have turned up all the preferences inside PS pertaining to performance.
When I save a document the SAVE time is 3-7 seconds. Each time I hold my breath that it doesn't fail.

CS6 not only shuts down itself, it shuts down my computer. I have a high-end graphics card (which I specifically got to run my photo-editing monitor), i7 processor, Win8, 64-bit, high resolution. It always happens, without fail, when I choose a large size brush or whatever tool in cloning, spot-healing, dodging, burning, etc). Otherwise, it runs fine. But if I choose a large brush, etc, it only shows me a half circle instead of the full circle, freezes PS, shuts down my computer, and then the computer re-starts.
I used this same PS program on my previous Win7 64-bit computer, which had far less capability, processor, graphics, and other credentials than this current one. It has nothing to do with having other apps running because it happens regardless. It has nothing to do with Bridge because I don't use Bridge. It happens every time as described above. When the computer boots itself back up, there's an option for me to send the notice of the error to Microsoft, which I've done about 50 times. Could it have something to do with Win8? Hope not, because I checked before I (regrettably) got a computer with Win8 to make sure Photoshop was compatible with Win8.

I've been getting one or two a week. Haven't figured out yet what triggers it, but it only happens in CS6. I did recently reinstall the entire OS, so that's clean.
