Photoshop :: Selecting Color Balance Adjustment Layer Brings Up Levels?

May 19, 2013

I cannot get a color balance adjustment layer to come up. Every time I do photoshop creates a levels layer. Selecting levels makes a levels layer. All of the other adjustment layers seem to be working normally.

How do I fix this? I have a deadline and no time to be reinstalling photoshop.

Photoshop :: Color Balance Adjustment Layer Opening As Levels

Oct 17, 2012

When I try creating a color balance adjustment layer is it opening a levels adjustment layer. I'm using the New Adjustment Layer button at the bottom of the Layers panel. Is this a bug with CS6? How can I fix the problem?

Photoshop :: Color Balance Adjustment Layer

Feb 3, 2013

Suddenly when applying a color balance adjustment layer I'm unable to click on the shadows, midtones, and highlights. They are each grayed out and I'm only given the option to apply the setting overall. I'm thinking I must have made some kind of setting change somewhere for this to happen.

The images are RGB 8bit color mode.

I have a question about color balance. It seems it's the only one that the drag and drop doesn't work. It's my pc , or is the default?

Photoshop :: Color Balance Adjustment Layer To Blend Faces?

Nov 7, 2013

I'm using 2 different images of 2 different people, and layer masking features from one person on to another. I tried using a Color Balance Adjustment Layer..
 
1. Should I be adjusting the midtones, shadows or highlights?
2. I added a little bit of red, is there ever a time when you might add add magenta or green to blend skin tone? What about yellow or blue?
3. Any other general tips for doing this?

Photoshop :: Levels Adjustment Layer / Drop-down To Choose Different Channels

Jun 29, 2012

I am using a CS6 trial on Windows 7, I can get more specs later but I can't remember anything else about my operating system (on a different computer at the moment).
 
I have noticed sometimes that when using a Levels adjustment layer, the drop-down to choose the different channels (red, green, blue) is grayed out, and I cannot click on it to choose the different colors. The numbers in the input & output boxes are also grayed out and I cannot type in them. The only time I have noticed this happening is directly after cropping an image. And then when I go to work on a different image and add an levels adjustment layer to it, those things are still grayed out. I have to restart the program to get it to work properly again.If I add a Curves layer, nothing is grayed out, everything works fine; it's just Levels.

Photoshop :: Restoring Adjustment Levels Auto Color...

Jun 22, 2009

I entered the following key sequence: Adjustments Panel | Levels | Alt-Click Auto | Find Dark & Light Colors | Snap Neutral Midtones | Midtones After keying in this sequence and making adjustments to my photo, I inadvertently hit one too many OKs as I was exiting and PS changed my defaults. They now read: H: 55, S:0, B: 0, R: 128, G: 128 and B: 128. How can I reset these values to their default settings?

Paint Shop Pro :: Show Clipping Areas When Adjusting Levels Via Adjustment Layer?

Dec 17, 2011

I found out that there is a way to show clipping areas in Photoshop when adjusting levels via an adjustment layer. While moving the slider, you hold down the ALT key.

I tried this in PSP X3 and it does not work. Any feature for seeing the clipping preview is available in Paint Shop Pro? It's a nice feature.

Photoshop :: Why Eyedropper Targets Changing When Selecting Adjustment Layer

Apr 5, 2013

Consider this simple document with 2 layers and an adjustment layer:
 
Note the eyedropper targets. They read as expected: 

Now, observe what happens when I click my adjustment layer (this is a new Levels adjustment that has NOT YET BEEN TOUCHED - so there should be NO CHANGE) 

It doesn't matter whether the adjustment layer or its layer mask are selected, the results are the same. Here are my eyedropper settings:
 
Proof Colors is off. I can't think of any other setting to play with. This looks like a pretty huge bug to me, and it's not something I remember from earlier versions.

Photoshop :: CS4 / How To Set A Color Using Color Balance Layer

Mar 24, 2013

I want to use a color balance layer with a vector mask to change the color of a shirt to come as close as possible to matching a particular color swatch. So, say the color swatch is  RGB, 101, 164, 33
 
The color balance has the 3 sliders and I can adjust:
 
cyan -> red
magenta -> green
yellow -> blue
 
Is there a way of converting the RGB values (or CMYK values) from the swatch that is not trial and error that will tell me where to set the 3 color balance sliders to match the swatch color?

Photoshop :: Reversed B&W Adjustment Layer / Export Color Channel To Layer

Mar 1, 2012

What I want to do is to have an adjustment layer that is a reversed, black and white image.  I initially thought to merge B&W and reverse adjustment layers, but read that an adjustment layer may not be the target of a merge.  Is the way to accomplish this to fiddle with the B&W adjustment layer sliders somehow?
 
I like how the black and white displayed image of a given color channel looks, how can I export that channel into a layer?

saturation layer....saturation up
invert function
find edges layer
duplicate layer

At the point that I convert to jpg or another file type I lose the levels adjustment. Also flatten image or merge visible layers causes the same problem. I can supply a file if needed.

Photoshop :: Values To Look For Levels Adjustment Layers?

Apr 12, 2013

if I have a white point that's 231/217/183 (3x3 sample) and I also have a 228/228/228, which is the better to select as my white point?  I've never been confident on whether it's better to get closest high values or highest value in one of the RGB points.

Lightroom :: 5 - Cannot Find White Balance While Using Local Adjustment Tools

Dec 11, 2013

I just downloaded a trial version of Lightroom 5. I want to change the white balance (temp and tint) using local adjustment brush but when I take a new brush, all I can change is
 
1. Exposure
2. Brightness
3. Contrast
4. Saturation
5. Clarity
6. Sharpness
7. Color
 
The Temp and Tint buttons that should appear on the top of this tool are not present. As shown below....
 
Similarly, as per some youtube videos, in the Basic tools, I should get
 
1. Highlights
2. Shadows
3. Whites
4. Blacks
 
Instead I get
 
1. Recovery
2. Fill light
3. Blacks
 
As shown below.

Why is there such differences in the option? Is this because it is a trial version?

Illustrator :: Eyedropper Selecting Outline Color Not Underneath Layer

Nov 30, 2013

What i do is use the direct selection tool and click an anchor and then click the eyedropper tool on that anchor point  What is happening is the the outline color is being selected. So i found out Illustrator CS6 you have to hold shift while clicking the eyedropper.  I tried that and still can't get the color of the underneath layer, the fill color stays white?  Here is pic:
 
As you can see in the navigator window, the shade of red is that of the outline and not the apple underneath the outline.  I tried shift+eyedropper and white is the only color that get's sampled.

Photoshop :: How To Disable Selecting Adjustment Layers

Feb 24, 2012

When you're selecting layers directly from an image (using CTRL) you also select adjustment layers, so sometimes you have to lock this layer in order to get to the right layer.
 
It would be a lot easier to manipulate many layers (usually in my case, most of them have the adjustment layer setting 'attached' to them) if i wouldn't select these 'adjustments' when I click on the canvas. Is it actually possible to do?

I know you are all going to say "it depends on the lighting" or "there are different skin tones", but I just need a simple starting formula, of which I can edit to work with the lighting. I just need a simple, generic caucasian skin color "Color Balance" formula, which can be applied to a monochromatic image.

Photoshop :: Color Balance Algorithm

Mar 30, 2009

I was wondering if anyone was familiar with algorithm used to Color Balance.

I'm interested in automating a process which includes Desaturating and then Color Balancing.

I solved the Desaturation (take the highest number of R G B, divide by 2, apply to R G B values of pixle.)

I am curious to know how a pixle would be modified by say, +100 Blue in Lows/Mids/Highs

After Effects :: Change The Color Using Color Balance

Jun 25, 2013

I made a ring and I want to change the color using color balance. It's with particular, multiple copies with fast blurs applied to them to give the glow and it's all pre-composed with the particle layer. Now all I want is to change the color as a whole but color balance doesn't seem to work when applied to the pre-composed layer. I even tried color balancing the particle layer itself, made an adjustment layer and applied color balance on that.

Photoshop :: Difference Between Selecting Your Layer And Clicking Add Layer Mask

Apr 6, 2008

Is there a difference between selecting your layer and clicking Add Layer Mask Icon versus having that layer selected, hold down ctrl and select Add Layer Mask Icon?

Also regarding working in Lightroom, if I modify a jpeg, select another image from filmstrip to work on and then go back to the first image for more work, are those actions degrading image even though I never physically save and close.

Photoshop :: Skin Color Balance On Composite Image

Dec 5, 2011

First, a slightly long winded explanation. Shooting the creative family Christmas card this year in a Mini-Cooper (original 60's one). Basically set my lighting up and then shot individual members in the car to post them together. The only snafu - my 20 month old son wasn't exactly cooperating, so the 'good' photograph I have of him is in the drivers seat, and I wanted to move him in between us.

There were a few difficulties here. First, the light changed between originally shooting my wife (windshield was clear), as skies were blue, and when I took the photo of myself nearly an hour later (cloudy skies cast a glare on the windshield. I had a black scrim set up to the side which worked, but wasn't able to knock it out all together. So i faded the clear windshield from my wife's side over to my side with the glare, but I feel that looks fairly natural (or at least good enough for the Christmas card).

The trick comes with my son - I cut him out from where he was at the drivers seat (had to do some shoddy work on his shirt where the steering wheel blocked him), and put him in between us. However, it looks like his coloring is off from what we are - and I can't quite seem to get it right. Color balance is definitely not my strong suit in PS.
