ADJUST COLOR mixer?

Hi, forgive me if I'm a bit behind the times, but my last Photoshop software before Elements 9 was CS2.
Where has the manual "Adjust Color" option gone? I fine it hard to believe the program would be without a simple RGB adjustment tool, even in a lite version like Elements. Am I missing something or is it really gone? Is there any way to get it integrated back in? Or another way in which to do the same thing? I don't know if "Auto Adjust Color" or the "Color Curve" will satisfy as fully.
What are my options? Thanks!

Assuming you still have access to CS2, try writing an action to call up the channel mixer command. I don't think you can pull up color balance though. Note: Again as noted above, the dialogs will be more limited than what is in Photoshop.
There are some instructions for writing them for Elements in this thread:

OR
You might try Grant's Tools which is a freeware action pack. I believe, everything in the chart listed for Elements 6 is also in the Elements 8 set. Note: The dialogs will be more limited than what is in Photoshop. For example, curves can only call up RGB channel, can not save presets, and can not be edited. Another example would be layer masks...only basic masking function is available.

OR
I'm fairly sure you'll have luck as they have products like Elements+ that calls up dialogs that are in Photoshop by using actions. I've never used this product so can't say how well it works. Looking through the set, should give you an idea of what actions you can write using CS2 if you still have access to it.

Preview: Adjust Color greyed out for PDFs

Just scanned a bunch of pages as a PDF and opened it in Preview. The levels were off so I wanted to Adjust Color, but it was greyed out. Am I correct in assuming that this only works with image files, not PDFs?

A PDF file cannot be edited like a document file except using Adobe Acrobat. You can edit the original document, then create a new PDF. This is also true of image files if they have already been made into PDFs.

In Preview, I suddenly am unable to get the "Adjust Color" tool panel to edit images. I just get the rectangular image selection tool instead. How do I ge the "Adjust Color" tool panel back?

Hmmm, I wonder if that window is hidden or off screen? Have you moved the pic window around to look under it?
Might try this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist

/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.bookmarks.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Adjusting color in part of an image in a photo.

Hi, just bought Photoshop CC and am stuck. I just received a photo of my uncle that was taken through the glass of the frame it was in. The right side of his face is lighter than the rest of his face. How do I adjust this color? You can also see some lightening of the lower right portion of his hat. Other issues have been corrected. Portion of photo attached. Thanks.

Thank you so much. I will give it a shot. Your help is greatly appreciated. Will let you know how it works.

Adjusting color in part of an image in a photo.
created by musarticus in Photoshop for Beginners - View the full discussionTry this: 1) Duplicate your layer (Command/Control + J)2) Add a mask to the new duplicate layer3) Select the mask and either paint the left side black with your brush tool, or use the gradient tool for a black-to-white gradient4) Change the blend mode on the duplicate layer to "Multiply"5) If you want to go darker, duplicate the layer a second time and adjust the opacity as desired.6) In the image below I also masked out the background and added an orange photo filter to warm up the right side of the face. I cranked the filter to better see it, but you can reduce it to taste.7) There are other things you could try like painting with your brush in "Color" mode to fine-tune skin tones, or use the dodge and burn tools, etc. https://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-7149917-723260/Multiply.png If the reply above answers your question, please take a moment to mark this answer as correct by visiting: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7149917#7149917 and clicking ‘Correct’ below the answer Replies to this message go to everyone subscribed to this thread, not directly to the person who posted the message.

Why do drop shadows created in Illustrator CC randomly change their color mix?

Drop shadows that I've created in Illustrator CC will randomly change their color mix when they are different mixtures of cmyk black, usually after closing and opening again. For example, if the drop shadow is 75c 68m 67y 90k, the next time I open the file it will 20c 0m 0y 100k. This happens with many of my files, and has been going on for several months. Thanks.

Hey I found out from the developers that this is actually fixed in version 29 via Bug 965861. Try the pdf viewer in the next version of Firefox, this will take care of that gradient. :-) Cheers.

Adjust Color option not available in Preview?

We scanned in some documents recently and need to adjust their contrast. Unfortunately, the option for Tools>Adjust Color is grayed out/unavailable. Any idea why this would be the case? The documents were scanned in on a Canon MX850.
Thanks.

Mine are all jpgs, i.e., photos scanned with an HP 4-in-1 scanner or photos taken with a Kodak digital camera, downloaded into EasyShare and saved as jpgs.
I'd always used Preview, prior to the Leopard upgrade, rather than HP PhotoSmart or the Kodak program for much of my editing because the "exposure" and the "sharpen image" features were much better and could often salvage an iffy photo, especially the old circa WW II sepia ones.

Adjust Color Curves... is disabled, why?

Hello,
I've just downloaded a trial of PSE 9. I'm evaluating whether or not this product will work for some coworkers with light image editing responsibilities.
With and image open, if I goto the Enhance menu, and select Adjust Color, the option for “Adjust Color Curves…” is disabled (greyed out). Is this a feature locked in the trial, but available in the paid version of PSE?
Thanks,
Duffy

Make sure you have an image open in the editor and are not working with a 16 bit image. Otherwise click Image >>Mode
Then change to 8 bit.
I just checked in PSE6 : the 'adjust color curves' works perfectly in 16 bits

hi, can anyone help me how to edit/adjust color in premiere cs 5 to get color tone like "Breaking Dawn part 2" (box office movie)?
I have a short indie movie project, and i want the movie to have color tone like "breaking down" movie.

Joe,
Here are some stills: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/the-twilight-saga-breaking-dawn-part-2/photos/the-twilight-s aga-breaking-dawn-part-2-stills-slideshow/breaking-dawn-part-2-poster-photo--1274954362.ht ml

Preview.app -- tools -- adjust color = crash

I noticed that if I open anyfile.jpg with preview.app, and select the 'tools' tab, then 'adjust color' and drag the slider a little, it will crash, every time.
Mac 10.5.1, Preview.app Version 4.0 (469), reproducable = 100%.
I didn't find a similar bug

This sounds like an issue of an upgrade over tiger.
When a upgrade is done leopard is neatly overlaid over tiger and all existing extensions, plugins, etc. are preserved.
That does not mean that the plugins and extensions are compatible with the new OS.
If the overlay does not work you likely have an incompatible extension, plugin or system modification software installed.
The simplest cure is to do an archive and install, preserving user and network settings.
This allows for a new os to be laid down with no additional plugins or extensions installed.
You can then test the system after a software update.
At this point the problem should be gone.
You will need to reinstall any applications that are not drag and drop.
This should now be done slowly.
Reinstall an application, apply any updates and test.
Add applications into the system slowly making sure that if one brings a problem into the system that you can know that the program is the source of the problem.
Its a good idea before installing an application to know how to remove it if it turns out to be a problem.
Remember that applications that were released under a particular OS were not written for any OS other than that OS.
One more point. Leopard was meant to overlay Tiger.
If you start with an older OS you need to perform an archive and install because Leopard will not neatly overlay anything other than Tiger.
In fact, the installer will likely not give you the option to upgrade.

Adjusting color saturation hp 5520e all-in-one

Some time ago, I had a HP c4580 photosmart all-in-one printer, which had the option available to adjust color saturation, warmth, brightness, etc. I later purchased a HP 5520e photosmart all-in-one printer, which doesn't seem to have that option. Is that option available on that printer, and perhaps I just haven't discovered it? If not, does HP make a printer that does have that option, or that compares with the old c4580? The option is seldom needed, but occasionally it is a MUCH needed option.

Hi @blubrd,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It's possible the Photosmart 5520 may not have the same features that the older software for your Photosmart c4580 did. To check though, you just need to be in the program you want to print from, select File then Print. Then on the print dialogue window you want to click on Preferences (may say Properties) and anything you can change will be on those tabs. You also have the option to click on Advance (or Advanced Options) for a few further things to change.
If you don't see what you're wanting under those screens, it is most likely not a feature that can be changed on the printer any longer.
With that being said there may be an HP printer out there with the features you need. To get more advice on what printer will have the features you're wanting you can always contact our Sales team (1-800-473-4732) even just to inquire
Hope that helps, have a great day!

Adjust colors caused clip to go to slow motion

I have a 4 minute clip in a file that is 30 gig. I didn't like the color of the clip so I used Adjust Colors in Video FX to change them. Now that clip is running at about 1/3 speed. How do I either fix this or undo the effect? Is that a major bug or what??? As it took nearly an hour to render, I made umpteen other changes to the project while it was rendering so just hitting undo is not an option.

Discovered that hitting delete removes the rendering. So now the question is, why does changing the color cause it to go into slo mo?

"Gamma" slider in Preview's "Adjust Color" window now absent in 10.6. Why?

In Preview, if one chooses "Adjust Color" from the "Tools" menu, a small window pops up with various sliders allowing one to make minor adjustments to the jpeg -- contrast, sharpness, exposure, etc.
In previous versions of Preview that came with 10.4 etc., one of the sliders was called "Gamma," and I found it very useful. I'm no photographer nor a professional graphics person, so I couldn't even tell you the exact definition of what a "gamma adjustment" even is, but in my experience I found that it seemed to lighten the dark areas of the image without overly lightening the already-light areas. By fiddling with a combination of the "Contrast" slider and the "Gamma" slider, one could rescue a photo that was badly lit or unevenly exposed.
But in the new version of Preview that comes with my Snow Leopard 10.6.4, the "Gamma" slider has been removed entirely, replaced by the far-less-useful "Temperature" slider, which instead subtly adjusts the tint to appear warmer or colder (red/blue).
What happened to the "Gamma" adjuster? Is there any way to restore it, or customize the "Adjust Color" window?
What a bummer.
I really like Preview's "Adjust Color" sliders, and find them to be much more convenient for basic photo sprucing up than the more complicated controls in PhotoShop and other pro-level programs. I realize I can adjust the Gamma in these fancier programs, but I'd much rather have all the needed adjustment-controls altogether in the same program.
Any suggestions? I don't want to have to try to re-install an ancient version of Preview just for this one feature.

I did a Google search & found - http://earthlingsoft.net/ssp/blog/2009/08/macos_x6part2
"*Gamma: Apple (finally) changed the gamma value of their display calibration.* There goes the classic Mac look… well it’s not quite as (a) my MacBook’s screen is a crappy dithering **** anyway so I am in no position to notice anything and, more significant in a global sense, (b) the magic of colour management means that you shouldn’t see the difference caused by the gamma change on colour managed images. What remains are the UI elements and Apple seems to have done a reasonable job of making things look all right. Just some of my old icons seem to look a bit different now. In the long run I imagine this change may be beneficial for people who publish images on the web without knowing what they do. "
