I have some hand drawings scanned into a computer that I want to clean up in Photoshop.I'm going to use the eraser tool to erase the smudges, though I want to darken the lines of the drawing without having to trace back over it with a pencil, pen, or paint brush. I played a bit by darkening the levels.

I need to darken the grey lines in a two color (grey & green) line drawing since they are hard to see.
One way is a fill but there maybe some quick method that proportionately darkens just the grey pixels while preserving the relative grey gradient between grey pixels.
My work is generally calligraphy, it is all drawn by hand but would like the option to smooth it out on Photoshop if possible? I have attached a copy of the artwork,

This is part of a these peoples collection drawn over 60 years ago.
I'm being asked to clean it up but to retain as much of the original lines as possible. (They would prefer if I did not clone the boxes etc. in an attempt to keep the integrity of the original drawing)
I've tried everything I know from background eraser, channels, lab, selections, blends ...only thing that seems to work well is the ol'trusted eraser but it will take forever...
I was wondering if there's any easy way to make lines to appear less precise as if they were hand drawn with a pencil?
eg.
I have seen brush strokes, but they only really provide a texture rather than a variation in the line as far as I have seen.
I have a modeled right hand part and a detail drawing of that right hand part with a pin that defines r.h from l.h. and I would like to save them as a left hand part then change the model by reversing the pin. How would I proceed with this task?

I'd also like to know if there is a way to "fix" lines and curves. For example, if you take a pencil and draw an image free-hand, it's nearly impossible to get straight, unless you're a brilliant artist or use a ruler. If I drew and image, scanned it and opened it in Photo shop, is there a way or tool or something I could use clean up the lines, make them straighter (without the squiggles) and make certain lines broader or thiner?
I want to be able to do is darken selected areas of a pic.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI work with floorplans a lot in my job and I come across this a lot so I figured I'd ask to save me a ton of time. Sometimes I get floorplans in a PDF format that I have to edit in Photoshop. Sometimes, the floorplans come to me very light (the black outlines of walls, doors, the building, etc.) are not as dark as I need them to be. I've tried to go to the Adjustments Menu --> Curves and darkened it that way. But then when I go to flatten the picture, it goes back to the light black color it was before. Is there any way to make the lines darker and to stay darker?

Is there a way that I can use photoshop to darken certain pixel values within the photo?
I have tried adjusting the levels in the picture so that the greys are limited, and I have tried changing the greyscale, but to no avail.
I need to make it so that two images have the same pixel values so that they can be calculated evenly.
I'm doing a series of illustrations for a client. I scanned in the black and white inked drawings and then colored them in Photoshop 7 as TIFFs. I worked in CMYK mode the whole time.
when I look at a thumbnail of the saved TIFFs or open them in any other application (windows picture & fax viewer, paint, etc.) I get these dark and murky colors. I get these same murky colors printing from these applications. However, if I open the TIFF image in Photoshop the colors go back to the way they should be. They also print correctly from Photoshop. If I save the image as a JPEG, the colors save correctly.
My client just printed off the first round of proofs (from a laser printer, I assume) and the colors are dark and murky.
The problem is that they want the images sent as TIFFs and I don't know what the four color offset printer is going to do.
I have a camera I like, but a problem with it. I took a few indoor photos and it took awhile to get enough light arranged for them. When I put the camera's SD card in the card reader and looked at the photos they looked great. I copied the photos to a folder then deleted everything on the card to get it ready for the next photos.
Then when I look at the photos from the desktop folder, they are much darker. I don't do this a lot but it has happened at least once before, and I think it does that all the time. Possible to just lighten photos with Gimp?
I did find a page that said you could, but it is probably an old page, at brighten dark photo with Gimp. It instructs me to Quote:Duplicate the original image layer in the layers dialog. Change the Mode of this duplicated layer to Value -mode to use this layer for a retouching brightening of colors.
When I create a duplicate layer, click on image, hover over mode, none of the options are value. Maybe that was for an older version of Gimp? The page doesn't have a date which isn't nice.
What the problem might be between the Canon view, and the windows 7 view? Is there something I can tweak in 7?
Edit: I found it in the colors > brightness and contrast, but maybe I can leave this up in case someone knows how to stop the darkening from happening in the first place. The photo quality isn't as good as it was in the Canon folder.
Is there a way to darken the color of multiple shapes all at once? Eg, If I had a number of shapes all in different, pastelle colors and wanted to see how those shapes would look in more prominent, darker vertions of themselves, how would I do that?
E.g., turning the light purple of the shape below to the dark purple in the image.
In my Lightroom2 whenever I import my RAW files (I shoot RAW and JPG) they are automatically darkened in Lightroom and I don't know why. I'll import them and for a few seconds see how I shot them and how they should look and then when I click on the image in the DEVELOP module, it will change the exposure and make the picture about two stops darker. I don't understand why it is doing this. I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark II. I know it's not my camera, I have tried every setting on it. I believe Lightroom is compromising my images and darkening them.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am quite new to photoshop and am working through a few tutorials. In one of them it asks me to draw a line. Now I thought this would be really easy.
I clicked the Line tool and tried drawing it where the tutorial said, but all i got was a selected section and in the layers window it showed something about a mask. According to the tutoria it shouldn't do this.
I undid it and tried again, still the same problem. I tried deleting the mask and the work area just goes black.
Can someone please tell me how to create a Line without the whole mask businees.
P.S: I am using Photoshop CS on Windows XP.
I need to know the best way to lighten part of a picture without it being two-toned. An example of this is when I took a picture of someone inside a house.
The orange dress is vivid, and the white wall and door came out good also. The problem is that the lighting wasn't good enough to bring out the true skin tone of the person. So much so that the person's face could hardly be seen, and her neck and hands came out the same as her face also.
I tried to lighten her face by using the Ellipse in Tools>Adjustment>Brightness/Contrast making sure not to go outside the perimeter of the face. I then zoomed to 1600X and manually changed the rest of it a few pixels at a time by switching to the Rectangle in Tools . The result after more than an hour later was something that looked akin to pasting an egg in place of her face on the picture. It was grainy and looked ridiculous.
I don't want to lighten the whole picture because it ruins the true color of the dress, and not as important, the door and walls don't look as sharp and vivid either.
P.S. I would also like to know how to do the reverse; darken a specific area without the two-toned look.
I'm looking to take a certain part of an image (a small shape of it) and then apply darkening, progressively, from that small area. That is, the image gets darker and darker as it radiates out from that shape. Like a vignette, but progressively darkening from the point rather than a strait darkness.
Tried playing around with curves and didn't really do this effect.
is there a way to do this. darkening filename info in grid mode?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is happening in Lightroom 4 final and is possibly related to this issue: Re: Brightening shadows darkens highlightsBrightening shadows darkens highlights.
Start with a fresh imageSet Whites to a highish value, like 55-60 or better 100.Slowly move the Highlights or Shadows slider to the left
The image gets brighter even it is supposed to get darker. If you move Highlights to the positive side, the image gets darker.
In my workflow, I am constantly editing symbols. However, when I enter a symbol, the stage is "darkened". The result is that I cannot effectively gauge colors as I edit symbol elements. How can I disable this "darkening" and see the normal colors?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am starting with a scanned pencil drawing, which often has very broken, rough lines, no matter how dark or clean I try to draw. I am looking to turn these lines into clean, solid lines, of one uniform color, for use in another program which relies on completed loops and no breaks in lines.
I've tried tools such as Trace Contour, but this isn't doing quite what I'm looking for. I'm very new to Photoshop, so I'm hoping there is something I am missing. Something like the magnetic lasso would work wonders, if only I could brush that line instead of making a selection.
i have seen some concept drawings JUST DRAWINGS where the pen lines n stuff have been turned into white and the background has been turned into black its sort of like a blackborad and chalk effect and it looks really good for presentational ideas... can anyone possibley tell me how i can achieve this myself if i were to scan in my own drawings?

I have tried unsuccessfully to draw lines using bearings as a surveyor draws them. I have seen a number of posts here and on the web, but they relate to northern and easting’s, but as you can see on the attached PDF from a surveyor they have used only bearings. I’m not a surveyor, my background is mechanical so this is all new to me. what units and settings I may need to change in order to draw using these bearings. I’m using Autocad 2012, and the attached PDF relates to some blocks of land in Australia (just in case that makes a difference in the settings)
