Adjusting sensitivity of Library Exposure Adjustments

Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the adjustment for Exposure when working in Library mode?
Since LR has no way of showing you what a photo will look like when exported to sRGB, I often end up with photos out of gamut or too bright looking once they are on the web. Using library I can make a "relative" adjustment to all the photos. The Exposure adjustments available in Library are 1/3 and 1 full stop.
I would like to drop the exposure for all photos by 0.15 so they will look better in sRGB... is there a place where the sensitivity of the 'click' can be adjusted to bring it down to say 0.15 and 0.5 stops?

Edward-
I wouldn't bother with such an adjustment for the web, UNLESS it's aimed at art directors or clients with high end calibrated monitors. Most monitors are out of whack more than a half a stop- in either direction....

  • Does Elements have the Photoshop Exposure adjustments for Gamma, Exposure and Offset, and where?  Is Gamma missing?

    I have been a photoshop user since version 3, and am considering switching to Elements 13, as I am not a professional, but do this for home pictures.  I found that the Exposure Adjustments setting is fabulous, where I can adjust Gamma, Exposure and Offset, and the the Shadow and Highlight is also great.  Does Elements have an EXPOSURE (Gamma, Exposure and Offset) adjustment tool, or something close, and if not the same, how inferior?  Same Question for Shadow/Highlights. 

    As to saving edited items in ACR Edited formats or as a JPEG, unless I Open Image and save the file as a JPG, the edited RAW image is not a portable file, as only Photoshop or Elements will compile the edits from the embedded information. I do see that moving from RAW to Elements Normal mode, I can save the files and do other forms of editing, but I may have to give up a 16bit image for an 8 bit image to do any editing in normal Elements.
    When you are using only the 'Done' button with a jpeg without opening and saving in the editor, you have written the settings to the metadata without altering the pixel values. In my own case, That's enough for 80% of my shots. That means: non-destructive editing (the original is still available), parametric editing, the settings are saved, can be used for the next picture and take minimal disk space. You don't need to keep a version set. On the other hand, only Adobe software can read it. Those edits in ACR are calculated in 16 bits even if jpeg is only 8 bits.
    On the other hand, if you open the file in the editor, you have the choice to open the converted version in either 8 or 16 bits. Of course, if you want to save it in 16 bits, you'll save in psd or tiff.
    What do you know about Photoshop's ImageReady.  It appears to offer simpler interfaces to normal Photoshop.
    Sorry, I don't know anything abut ImageReady...
    As to Elements, it appears that many of the more sophisticated image adjustments that exist in Photoshop are there, but in an 8 bit depth, buried in their different menus.
    There are a lot of discussions about 8 or 16 bits depth in Elements. The main idea is that you can't use layers in 16 bits (except with a clunky workaround) and that you can't use local tools in 16 bits. On the other hand, nearly all global edits are available in 16 bits, including many filters and plugins. And with ACR, you can open jpegs in 16 bits... For me, even if I know that I can do nearly everything I need in 16 bits in the editor, I must say that first editing in ACR makes that unnecessary most of the time.

  • CC Bridge slow-.  adjustment brushes not showing size, adjustments when done blind are slow to react

    I am running Imac 2.7 GHz    16 gb ram    600 gb hard drive available
    adjustment brushes not showing size, adjustments when done blind are slow to react.

    Bridge is far more than a file browser.   Bridge does what lightroom does.
    When working with Raw  files, there are tools,   **adjustment brushes** that allow you to dodge and burn raw files.
    These brushes are size adjustable and now with CC, I can not see the size of the tool I am using.
    So you might want to look at Bridge differently, as it is a very powerful tool.
    Anyone else have a similar experience with CC version of Bridge?

  • LR 4b exposure adjustments not exporting to Photoshop

    I really like the new basic controls in LR4b Develop module, but I cannot get the exposure adjustments to export to Photoshop CS5.  Either using the Command-E or Export to Photoshop CS5 command gets the straight out of camera rendition in terms of exposure.  Saturation, Contrast, Clarity etc. adjustments from LR export fine but the basic exposure adjustments do not.
    Anyone else out there having this issue?  Any suggested fix?

    Thank you all for these helpful answers.
    It sounds like this is not a bug but a built-in limitation.  Until some sort of Camera Raw update is released, I guess I willl go back to LR 3.6 as my primary working tool.  I will miss those lovely renderings though and although I could do the 'convert to PSD first'  method for the odd image, that is a major work flow issue for me.

  • Trying to export photos with exposure adjustments from iphoto

    I made colour adjustments and exposure changes in iphoto, then exported to the library, for preparation to upload to my preferred photo hosting site, but the exposure and colour changes were not kept after exporting, is there a setting to allow this?

    When you export the original you get the original - that is exactly what the camera took, the "original" - so that has no edits or other changes
    If you export as a JPEG you get the current version
    It may or may not be the same resolution as the original depending on what edits you have done

  • Where is the exposure adjustments tab in Photoshop Elements 10?

    I am trying to adjust the exposure of a layer but I can't seem to find the tab.  I'm watching a tutorial online and it goes goes Image>adjustments>exposure.  I have the Image tab, but that's it.Do I need to buy a different version of Photoshop? Here is the tutorial:
    And here is me
    Thanks for any help!

    CS6 is available for $600 for Standard or $1000 for Extended:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html
    I believe the cheapest PS-CC deal would be the PS-CC+Lightroom for $10/month for an annual subscription:
    https://creative.adobe.com/plans/photography
    Doing the math, you could pay $1000 for an old PS CS6 Extended, or you could pay $10/month for the new PS-CC (Extended is the only version), where $1000 @ $10/month = 100 months or 8 years.

  • Can you make white balance/exposure adjustments on top of current adjustments across multiple shots?

    Hi There,
    We have a bunch of shots taken using natural light - the shots all have completely different exposure and white balance adjustments.
    Now that the shots feel like they've been shot at the same time of day (and on the same day) we'd like to start adjusting the white balance accross multiple shots - but use the current white balance/exposure from each individual shot as the starting point - not reset the adjustments.
    Kind of like baking the current settings or making adjustments on top of current adjustments - or make new adjustments relative to the current adjustments.
    Hope that makes sense - is this possible in Lightroom?
    Cheers

    Convince me why it's better
    Quick Develop is for artists, not scientists/engineers - sounds like you know how to use it.
    Ya know, some people use Lr with the histogram closed so as not to get distracted by the technical aspects. I could adjust an image using the histogram only, without looking at the image!
    FWIW, amount of temp/tint per increment is fixed for RGB files. I never figured out how it decides the increment for raws, but I'd very much like to know it, in order to normalize relative adjustments when a mix of raw & rgb files are selected.
    PS - I think the original philosophy was:
    1. After importing, take a quick-dev pass in lib module and adjust all the basics in the ball-park, then:
    2. Fine tune in dev module one by one, if need be and schedule allows... (yes I know there is auto-sync in dev module, but it adjust things absolutely, and the context of this discussion is relative adjustment).
    Via that workflow, there's not so much switching back and forth between lib & dev modules for access to the quick-dev panel during development.
    FWIW, it doesn't suit me well-enough either, which is why I invented Gazoo .

  • IBM USB keyboard with TrackPoint: how to adjust sensitivity

    I connect the IBM USB keyboard with TrackPoint (UltraNav) to my Lenovo W510 using Windows 7. How can I adjust the sensitivity of the external TrackPoint? In control panel > mouse settings, I can only adjust settings of the onboard TrackPoint. Is this a driver issue, or I did it wrong? I tried downloading different drivers but none allows me that. Current drivers I use:
    ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint v1.06 (tpusbkybdwtrackpoint_106.exe)
    ThinkPad USB Keyboard Hotkeys v2.0.1.3 (q5kyb07us13.exe)
    ThinkPad UltraNav Driver v15.1.19.0 (6hgy31ww.exe (64-bit))
    Actually tried newer drivers but the results are the same. Thanks for any suggestion!

    http://leadorg.wordpress.com/technology/thinkpad-usb-keyboard-with-trackpoint-software/
    after installing the required Lenovo driver explained in the post above. I get this option in my mouse setting under control panel. 
    Do you see this specific option? (there is new 1.07 driver released, so try to install that and see whether give you the option of adjusting the usb kb's trackpoint sensitivity).

  • AD-41 headset volume adjustment sensitivity too hi...

    Hi! I own Nokia 3250 and what's really annoying me is the headset's volume adjustment. It works terrible ! The sensitivity of buttons is so high that it's very difficult to change volume only one level up or down. I don't know if it applies only to this model, but I checked it on N70 and it worked fine. When the button is pressed, volumes goes one level up, then short pause and then up again. That's how it should work! But now there're no pauses, it changes so quickly that I can't adjust volume accurately when i'm in move. My firmware is 3.24. Maybe it's fixed in 4.14 ? I wish it is, otherwise I won't upgrade my phone, I don't want to lose high sound volume.
    Has someone similar observations ?

    He is not telling the truth. The headset is faulty.

  • Opening adjusted Tiffs in PS with adjustments applied.

    This is my workflow, edit raw file in Aperture, open up adjusted image in PS for further work, save image. The resulting tiff then shows up in Aperture no problem. Then maybe a day or so later whatever I may go back into Aperture and make a further adjustment on that tiff - if I then want to resize that tiff file for web etc using PS when I choose 'edit in PS' the file opens up but without the new adjustments?? The only way I've found to get round this is to export the tiff file to my desktop and open that one up in PS to resize etc. In LR all I had to do was select any of the resulting tiff files and I was given various options on whether to open it in PS with LR adjustments applied or not.
    Any advice please?

    Interesting behaviour and one I can confirm. Only Adobe can indicate if this is intended or a bug.

  • P55W Adjusting sensitivity on touchscreen display to use stylus?

    I recently bought a P55W-B5220 laptop and would like to be able to use a pen / stylus on the touchscreen display like a tablet. I'm not sure if I just have an incompatible stylus or if there is a sensitivity issue that is preventing me from utilizing the laptop in this way. I can use my fingers to manipulate the screen just fine. I only have problems when I try to use my stylus.  Is there any way to ajdust teh sensitivity of the screen? Or do I need to try another design of stylus / pen? Thank you,Kay

    Hi! I am also trying to reduce its sensitivity. In my case, if the brightness goes above 50%, I start getting hundreds of "touches" on the screen, becoming impossible to use. I keep my screen dim but sometimes I need full brightness or, when being outside/plugging it in to the ac. it shifts and goes crazy.

  • Black speckles when using adjustment brushes

    I'm having an ongoing issue with Lightroom 4.4 when using adjustment brushes in the development module with RAW files from a Canon 5d Mark III Raw on a retina MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.3  When using the adjustment brush to make exposure adjustments, the adjusted area gets covered with tiny black speckles. I see it when trying to darken down highlights or when trying to lighten shadow areas. The heavier the adjustment, the worse the speckles get. I have taken the same original images and opened them in Photoshop and made similar local adjustments with curves and the images look fine, so it's definitely an error with Lightroom inserting the artifacts. Any suggestions?

    Turn off the AutoMask checkbox in the brush options.

  • CS4 raw editing, global adjustments versus useing "Adjustment Brush"

    I had made a post earlier about CS4's raw editor hanging when working on .cr2 files ( canon). It seems that the raw editor works fine when makeing global adjustments, but when using the adjustment brush to make selective adjustments the program hangs for extended times. A global brightness adjustment will go thru in a couple of seconds at most, where as a photo with a few selective adjustments made to it will hang for as long as 5 minutes or more. Moving the image around is fluid when dealing with a image that does not have selective adjustments, and hangs when dealing with an image that has selective adjustments. The program seems set up to make selective adjustments ( it does have a selective adjustment brush after all ) but useing that option seems to cause such massive problems that it is un usable. The raw editor seems to use 50 to 100% of the proccesor during the hang time, and there is no disk activity which leads me to believe that there is not a problem with not haveing enough ram.
      I would appreciate any help that can be given with this problem

    First off let me say thank you for your responce.  But if what I have been doing is
    selective tone adjustments, not HDR
    That doesn't change the fact it would be a feature that can enhance the image process none the less.
    But not all the images I process are single shot images... I actually take time to scout a spot. Then I take about 3-4 shots at different exposures. Go into Camera Raw and and make different versions(snapshots) of those images.  Then create a document for each of those (snapshots) Then I open in a HDR program... NOW Photoshop HDR... and process them. The effect is different than the normal way of converting images into HDR... I think even more precise, or at least in my opinion.  So creating a feature like this will give the user the ability to streamline the workflow.
    So much of what you described doesn't belong in the HDR plugin, but is already available as tools in ACR or Photoshop itself.
    But what about the HDR adjustment brush tool I suggested?  That really sounds like a good possibility that people would like to utilize when creating HDR images.

  • Adjusting exposure turn white areas into light blue

    Hi All,
    During testing the Aperture2 trial I noticed that adjusting the exposure turned pure white area's into a light blue.
    It happened with a raw image from an Olympus E-400 that has a white background and is pure white close to a window. Since it was slightly over exposed, I adjusted the exposure to -0.63. The area next to the window turned blue. Editing the same raw file in Lightroom2Beta with the same exposure adjustments gives a perfect result.
    Has anyone encountered this effect and maybe even found a cause / solution?
    Thx,
    Peter

    Hi Ultrapix,
    As far as I could tell, the color space is only set for export. When editing the raw files I can't set the color space. I looked for a default color space setting, but couldn't find anything. Maybe I don't understand what you meant by 'set Aperture to display using the same colour space (likely sRGB) as Lightroom'
    If I adjust the exposure, only the light area changes to light blue. However, I've noticed that the overall picture looks more greenish / blueish in Aperture2 than it does in Lightroom2 even with the same white balance setting. I'm getting the impression that Lightroom is simply better at interpreting the raw file.
    I could try to get an acceptable result with other adjustments like you suggested, but I think that both white balance and exposure should work flawlessly in an raw editor like aperture, since they are the most used adjustments in my experience.
    Thx,
    Peter

  • Apple please rework the auto exposure adjustment

    90% of the time, the result is worse than before. It seems, Aperture's auto exposure adjustment is based on an average of the whole picture. So in its effort to get a well distributed histogram over the whole range, it happily blows the brighter parts of the picture.
    I usually try to recover most of the highlights except small reflections etc. and then lighten up shadows and mid-tones with the appropriate tools to get a well exposed picture.
    So I would prefer, that the auto exposure adjustment would be more sensitive towards blown highlights especially larger contiguous areas of highlights.
    If you can't find an algorithm that works reliable, probably give me two separate auto exposure adjustment buttons. One adjusts to overall good exposure, like it is currently, the other tries to prevent blown highlights.
    An even more advanced auto exposure adjustment would be, to combine the current exposure adjustment with some shadow and mid-tones adjustment, in case the exposure adjustment with preserving highlights led to an underexposed image.
    I don't expect this to give perfect results, but it would be a real timesaver to use it as a starting point for manual fine tuning.
    Not to bash Aperture but to encourage you to improve it: ACR's auto exposure mechanism is doing a much better job than Aperture's current one.

    Well, obviously all your photos are already exposed perfectly!
    (Seriously: when you say "nothing happens", do you mean absolutely nothing? Does the "Exposure" panel's check-box become checked after you hit the Auto button? If so, then it made SOME adjustment (though perhaps not enough for you to notice, see initial comment!) If not, then yeah, something is not working right for you.
