Is there a substitute tool path for "Image Adjustments Variations-" in Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition?

Is there a substitute tool path for "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" in Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition that brings similar results?  I was used to using Image>Adjustments>Variations… in Photoshop CS4 Standard Standard Addition quite often. I upgraded to Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition to get the 64bit memory architecture compatibility on my Macbook Pro, booted in Mountain Lion.  I see now that Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition has the "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" tool path removed.
I don't have Photoshop CS6 Extended, which has the all new Image>Adjustments>Variations… tool path.  I only have Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition so, if anyone can share with me a substitute tool set that can give me similar results to using the old "Image>Adjustments>Variations…,"  I would appreciate it.

Thanks, R_Kelly.
You helped me to start exploring other tools in the Image>Adjustments Menu.  "Image>Adjustments>Color Balance…" seemed to help me get the results that "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" used to deliver.  "Image>Adjustments>Photo Filter>Warming Filter (85)" also got me to where I wanted to be in desired adjustments.  I used to get the results I wanted in brightness, contrast, mid-tone adjustment, and color balance buy using just Curves, Variations, and Hue/Saturation.  Now I'll use "Color Balance…" and "Photo Filter>Warming Filter (85)" along with Curves, and Hue/Saturation.  I also have learned to use "Levels" some more to get the same effect as Adjustments>Variations…"  I always thought there were more technically precise adjustment tools to get the same effect as "Image>Adjustments>Variations…"  Adobe dropping Variations in Photoshop CS6 Mac version forced me to learn better image adjustment approaches for pre press color correction and image warming.  I feel confident now to make Photoshop CS6 my prime-time work tool and move the Photoshop CS4 launch icon off of my Mac OS app Dock.  Thanks again, R_Kelly.

  • Is there a file size limit for images in keynote on a mac?

    Is there a file size limit for images in keynote on a mac?

    If you right click on the file (navigate to it using finder, or if it is in iCloud you should open keynote, File -> Open and you should see a list of your iCloud keynotes) then press command+i, you'll pull up the info tag which will tell you the file size.
    Keynote also has an option to Reduce File Size  (File -> Reduce Files Size) but I do not recommend it at all because it will severely degrade the quality of your pictures. 
    It's also possible to reduce an individual image's memory size in your keynote by right clicking it and selecting Reduce Image File Size).  This is more time-consuming but allows you to see if the degraded photo quality is still good enough, and you can always undo it.

  • CC equivalent to Image adjustments variations

    Is there an Photoshop CC equivalent to the Image > Adjustments > Variations tool available in earlier versions?

    Variations Plug-in is in Photoshop CC Adobe seems to have removed it from CC 2014.  However when I copied then cc variations plug-in into my Photoshop Plugin tree which  I link into all versions of Photoshop plug-in tree.  When I use CC 2014 the variation plun-in seems to work so I don't know why Adobe removed it from CC 2014 the support needed seems to still be there.  Right click on image and click view the link in a new tab or window.  You can scale it and read it then.

  • Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
    Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
    I hope that will work.

  • Fixing the path for images in RoboHelp 8

    I am rather new to Robohelp, so please forgive me if this has been addressed in another dicussion...I have been searching and cannot seem to find what I am looking to describe.
    I am working in Robohelp 8, and  creating a new help system by importing topics from a previous help system. The problem I am running into and I cannot see how to fix is that there are a couple of topics that have images where instead of the path for the image directed to a folder called "Images" in the main directory, it dumps the graphic into the project manager window when I import the topic. I tried viewing topics that don't have their images on the main project manager window, and comparing against the one that does, and I cannot see the difference. I have tried renaming the images and placing in the correct folders, and then inserting the images into the topics, but it still tries to look at the main folder and still dumps the image into the project manager.
    Any help you can provide please share.

    I am going to say yes (because it sounds like what I am trying to get at, but not sure).....I have tried deleting the images, and recreating, and then re-inserting into the topic, and they still go to the root of project. As I am going along, I am finding more and more.....so far there are 20 images that are doing this.  However, I also just did what you mentioned and dragged it and put it under the topic. But I am still confused as to why I would need to do this for some topics and for other topics the images don't appear at all (meaning they don't show under topics or root of project), they are just linked through the folder on the main directory. Does this image help more?
    Left of picture above: The folder directory has a folder called Images, and this is where all of the images were stored and are stored for the new project.
    Middle of picture above: The topic Horizontal Command had an image in it "image20.gif", and it was at the root directory and as you suggested I moved to the topic. Also see the topic circled Expand and Collapse Folders topic has the image circled at the left within it.
    What I am trying to understand is why would the graphic from the Horizontal command topic dump into the root of the project, while the image from the Expand and Collapse Folders topic not show on the root project or even within the topic listed. (Which is what I prefer for all topics).

  • Could there be independent VI paths for different versions of LabVIEW?

    Hello,
    When jumping between different versions of LabVIEW (6.1, 7.1, 8.5) it is annoying that the current path for one becomes the current path for the other. 
    If I am working with LV 7.1 in a folder dedicated to 7.1 VI's, and then open LV 8.5, I don't want 8.5 to go to that 7.1 folder by default.  Alternately. if I was working in LV 8.5, closed it out, and then I click on a 7.1 VI, I don't want it to open in LV 8.5. 
    I've tried changing the path options in each version of LabVIEW, but that doesn't seem to help.  Is there any way of isolating these folder paths from one another?  One of our newer LV guys accidently opened some 7.1 code in 8.5.1 and then saved it.  Luckily, I had archived code to return to, but it could have been a disaster.
    Thanks for any ideas,
    McSynth

    You're actually asking two different questions.
    The first question has to do with which version of LabVIEW gets launched when you double-click a file. This is an operating system thing. The one that gets launched is the last one that got used. (Your first question will be: can this be changed? Answer: Change the operating system. Or, play around with the registry each time you quit out LabVIEW.)
    The second question has to do with search paths. These are independent. However, a VI will contain information about its subVIs in terms of where to find them. This is not a function of LabVIEW, as it is a function of the VI. Thus, it will make no difference which version of LabVIEW you use to open the VI. You can, if you wish, modify the search paths that LabVIEW uses to find VIs for each version of LabVIEW from the Tools->Options menu. However, this will not eliminate the problem, and your best bet is to keep those backups frequent.

  • Relative path for images in RTF templates

    Hi everybody!
    When I insert an image in a RTF template, I put its path into the web dialog, in order to see correctly the picture when I open the report from the xmlp server, in this way: url:{"http://servername/analytics/res/Images/image.bmp"}
    How can I make this path relative, in order to see the images even if the server name changes?
    Thanks so!

    Hi Tim,
    I am using BIP 10.1.3.3.2. I am able to access system variable CURRENT_SERVER URL.
    Steps:
    <?param@begin:CURRENT_SERVER_URL?>
    <xsl:value-of select="$ CURRENT_SERVER_URL"/>
    CURRENT_SERVER_URL is getting printed in BI Publisher. Value displayed is http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/xmlpserver.
    Now we are importing xsl into RTF template. File aaa.xsl is stored at [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app]
    We have hardcoded the path for XSL in RTF. The path is <?import: http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/aaa.xsl?>
    As we want to set dynamic path we changed hardcoded xsl path to <?import: {$CURRENT_SERVER_URL}/../aaa.xsl?> but it is not working. Sometimes BIP is taking local path of MyDocuments folder and sometimes Desktop path. If I put that XSL file in MyDocuments folder or Desktop, it is working fine. But ideally it should refer [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app] path...

  • Relative paths for images upset by forwarding requests

    Hello World.
              I am using a web app deployed in Weblogic 5.1 with service pack 8.
              I have hit a problem which puzzles me. When I forward a request from
              one JSP to another (say from A to B) the web server seems to take the
              URLs of the images on the served file (B) relative to the path on the
              calling file (A). Here's a detailed explanation...
              Suppose I have a the web app structured as follow
              /oddApp/launch/A.jsp
              /oddApp/B.jsp
              /oddApp/images/tick.gif
              Page A simply stores its request URI and forwards its request to page B
              <jsp:forward page="/B.jsp" />
              Page B displays its requestURI, contextPath and servletPath. It also
              attempts
              to show three images
              <img src="images/tick.gif">
              <img src="../images/tick.gif">
              <img src="/images/tick.gif">
              When I invoke page B directly, the first image is shown, the others are not.
              When I invoke page A, it forwards to B and the second image is shown, the
              others are not.
              In each case the URI, contextPath and servletPath are correctly displayed
              with regard to page B.
              URI = [oddApp/B.jsp]
              contextPath = [oddApp]
              servletPath = [B.jsp]
              The URI in A.jsp is also correct (i.e. /oddApp/launch/A.jsp).
              The search for the images seems to be relative to the original URI (i.e. not
              the URI used to forward), which strikes me as daft. It means that page B
              must be aware of where it is being called from. It is perfectly plausible
              that
              relative paths which suit when called from one location are incorrect when
              called from another.
              I had thought that including the leadling slash (as shown as the third
              image)
              would cause the search relative to the document root (/oddApp/), but this
              appears not to be the case. The search is done relative to the root of the
              server not the web app.
              Adding jsp mappings in the deployment descriptor of the web app does not
              help (I had thought it a long shot anyway).
              Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
              PHiL
              

    i face the same problem (WinNT, WLS6.0): my wep app has a contextRoot " root " which makes it react to the URL: http://host:port/root /: it is this folder which will be used as a basis by the Web server But in the jps I use a relative URL for images: / images/toto.gif : it works very well when I deploy my jsp out of a Web-app by setting a document.root to the weblogic web server.On the other hand, once deployed in a Web-app, images are not found because the default path of the browser is http://host:port, without the context root of the Web-app! In other words, my war has images/*.gif in its root but when /images/toto.gif is resolved in a jsp, as the relative URL is not prefixed by my context-root, the image is not search in the war! actually, if I type http://host:port/root/toto.gif, my image appearsany clues? an alias on the web server? a setting in web.xml/application.xml and their weblogic equivalent files?
              

  • Opening images via Bridge to photoshop CS6

    Hi,
    We are  teaching 3 young 8 year olds Dreamweaver CS6 and Photoshop CS6 (recent installations). We are going fine with Dreamweaver but then we needed to learn how to manipulate images. In particular make new logos for the site and create images for uplaoding from the camera.
    We are new to photoshop CS6 but wouldn't expect the issues we are getting right now.
    We can't open jpegs completely. We get a transparent background or just a part image. Must be something we are doing wrong I guess. It looks fine in Bridge but really isn't loading well in Photoshop.
    Here is where you can see about the laptop we are using : http://brianmellady.com/system.html
    Here is a screendump of the issue: http://brianmellady.com/screendump.htm
    By the way this is a site http://brianmellady.com which we are using dreamweaver for. We have made a members login page which appears to be working but as you can see unfortunately we badly need to create a logo and make some images for their site which isn't created yet. If I can keep them from games and from Minecraft then we will make progress
    It needs to be ready soon so that I can get a domain for them and host it on my Dad's servers.
    Regards,
    Kristina & Brian

    If you are having trouble using Photoshop you will probably get better results if you post in one of the Photoshop forums.  While are are available from the page linked below, the General Discussion one at the top is the most popular, though there is the new one for beginners if you think that might be better.

  • Full path for images automatically?

    Hi -
    We do HTML for emails (i.e. - viewed in an inbox NOT a
    browser, per se) so every document I create needs to have the full
    URL path. i.e. -
    http://www.servername.com/images/picture.gif
    The Site Definition (Advanced Tab) allows me to make my
    images relative to the site root. But since my customers are
    opening my HTML docs in their inboxes, that doesn't work.
    I thought there was a way to make the entire URL appear in
    the code for all images. Right now I do a Find/Replace at the end
    of my process, but I would prefer it to be automated.
    I hope this makes sense, and I hope someone has an answer for
    me.
    Jon

    Unfortunately, no. I have informed the higher authorities,
    though....

  • Hi, I currently have Lightroom 5.6 for MAC and Adobe has launched Lightroom 6 - I am trying to understand if there is an upgrade path for 5.6 users and how much does it cost, if any or is a forklift upgrade i.e. new software all together.  Thanks

    Hi, I am a Lightroom user and currently have 5.6 version (DVD Version).  The lightroom 6 version, for existing lightrrom users, is there an upgrade path or it is a new software entirely.  In either cases, what costs are associated.
    Thanks,
    Raj

    LR 6 is a new payfor upgrade, $80 in the US if you have the serial-number-licensed LR 5.  If you're already using the CC version of LR+PS then it just comes along as a new app you can install.
    It’ll run alongside your LR5 so you can try it out and see if it’s something you want.
    The only trial is a LR-6-CC version that you can convert to a serial-number-licensed version if you buy a serial-number.  I think the download in LR 5 when it notifies you of an upgrade is what you can use to try it, although I don’t have personal experience with that seeing as I have the CC version of LR+PS so the CC App provided the Install button for me.
    The main issues people are having are for some system configurations performance is worse.  Adobe rewrote it to use the GPU in the Develop module but some people’s video cards aren’t up  to the task, and for some people even turning off the GPU, while speeding things up, doesn’t make it as fast as LR 5.
    On my system it seems to work great.

  • CS4 Dreamweaver not replacing paths for images/links

    New Windows 7 machine with CS4 Web Premium.  When using Dreamweaver, and, for example, replacing an image or a link in the design window using the properties...  I click on the image, click the browse button, select the new file (I've tried hitting OK and double clicking -both of which should, or at least used to work in CS3).  However, when returning to the main screen, the path to the image or link has not been replaced.
    What is interesting is that IF I click on more than one image - i.e. say I am replacing one.jpg. So, I open the browse button, and select two.jpg, but then click on three.jpg (which is the file I want) and then hit OK (if I double click three.jpg after selecting another image first), it works fine.
    Any ideas how to fix this irritating bug?? Thanks...

    Hallelujah!!  I'm not alone!!  I wonder if Adobe does actually browse these forums.  I can't believe something like this isn't a really easy fix for them.  I can't tell you the amount of times I thought I'd updated a picture and then looked completely incompetant to a client because it didn't take.  Very sloppy on both mine AND Adobe's part.
