Adjustment level layers

How can I apply a levels adjustment layer to just one layer? I select a layer and create a new levels adjustment layer, though it is not applying the changes to just the layer beneath it like I want, instead it applies it to all the laers.

You need to create a clipping mask. One way, after you make
the levels adjustment layer, is to click on the clip icon on
the bottom of the adjustments panel (highlighted in red below)

How to use "Adjustment Level " in automatic adjustments rule

Now we are setting up BPC for legal consolidation.
we use BPC 7.0MS SP4 Version.
I want to use some result of automatic adjustment rules for source data, so I tried to use adjustment level in automatic adjustments rules.
I was setting up A rule's (to use source data) adjustment level is 0 and B rule's level is 1,
the result of SPRUNCONSO were "Error" CSD-150 and CSD-160.
Please let me know how to use adjustment level option.
Thanks.

Hello :
CSD-150
Check the method between METHOD Table and your ownership Cube. Check your Rules between the RULES Table and The ELIM Table. Check The INTCo.

Restoring Adjustment Levels Auto Color Corr Options

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? Or could someone tell me what they should be?
Thank you very much ... in advance.
Steve

Mark,
I'm looking to confirm that these are the correct values; otherwise, whenever I use an Adjustment Levels correction, my pictures will be thrown off by my erroneous default values. I think these are now correct, but I would like to confirm.

Adjustment levels

Many times when I make a new adjustment level, CS6 defaults to "Levels" even though I had selected "Threshold" or Color Balance".
I am trying to do an accurate color adjustment using the "Threshold" darkest and lightest sample point, new layer-50% grey "Difference" mode, then back to "Threshold"
to find grey point. Having marked these points, I go to "Curves" and select my points with the appropriate eye dropper tool.
This technique worked flawlessly in

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Export Layers as Files: Top Level Layers and Layers Sets

Is there a script that can do the following that ImageReady was capable of?
File/Export Layers as Files/
I know there is a script that can just export the layer as files, but what I want to do is export the "Top Level Layers and Layer Sets" so that I can send several layers grouped under a folder as one image.
Thanks! - j

Something like this should work:
// enable double clicking from the
// Macintosh Finder or the Windows Explorer
#target photoshop
// Make Photoshop the frontmost application
app.bringToFront();
// Start at the top of the layers stack and select each
// layer in turn
for (var i = 0; i < activeDocument.layers.length; i++) {
activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.layers[i];
// Put all your processing functions... //
duplicateSelectedLayers(activeDocument.activeLayer.name);
var psdSaveOptions = new PhotoshopSaveOptions();
app.activeDocument.saveAs( File( "~/Desktop/" + activeDocument.name + ".psd" ), psdSaveOptions);
app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
// ...in the area between these two comments. //
function duplicateSelectedLayers(soParent){
var id2277 = charIDToTypeID( "Mk " );
var desc304 = new ActionDescriptor();
var id2278 = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var ref144 = new ActionReference();
var id2279 = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" );
ref144.putClass( id2279 );
desc304.putReference( id2278, ref144 );
var id2280 = charIDToTypeID( "Nm " );
desc304.putString( id2280, soParent );
var id2281 = charIDToTypeID( "Usng" );
var ref145 = new ActionReference();
var id2282 = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
var id2283 = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
var id2284 = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
ref145.putEnumerated( id2282, id2283, id2284 );
desc304.putReference( id2281, ref145 );
executeAction( id2277, desc304, DialogModes.NO );

Adjustment Level Error

Hi all
I have got consolidation rules using the adjustment rules table but when I try to order this rules with Adjustment level field, the stored procedure produces the error.
If I only put "1" in one rule the package works fine when I make a consolidation with a group with a perimeter with all entities, but when I select groups with a perimeter with less entities the consolidation package doesn't works. The only way is quit the "1" from the automatic adjustment rule

Hi Nilanjan
I have 2 rules in the Automatic adjustments table:
In short, Rule 1 should be executed first as Rule 2 should be based on the results of rule 1.
Rule 1: Non Group part cancellation for Proportionate units
Adjustment level = 0
Adjustment type = Proportional
Rule 2: Inter-company elimination
Here the adjustment level = 1
Adjustment type = Generic
When i run the following stored procedure:
*RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE = SPRUNCONSO(%APP%, %CATEGORY_SET%,%CONSOSCOPE_SET%, %SCOPETABLE%,%LOGTABLE%)
The correct results are posted but the package displays as failed with the error message as per the first message in this thread.
The help states the following, which is exactly what i need:
Adjustment level
This field must contain an integer value ranging from 0 to 99 and can be used to order the sequence of execution of the various ELIM rules, if desired.

Adjust Levels/Brightness/Contrast on 200pp PDF

I have a PDF document of scanned documents and all the scans are under-exposed. I need to adjust levels/contrast/brightness on all the pages. For a start I want to apply the same set of changes to every page of the PDF. I'll then place the PDF pages onto InDesign Pages and Print as a booklet to get pagination for sadle stiching using the included Applescript.
Is there and automated way I can process all the pages in PS and apply a standard set of changes to all the pages and then save the document including the page number so as I can reassemble as a single document in Acrobat to then import to InDesign using the aforementioned Applescript?

You could creat an action to do the required changes and use http://www.scriptsrus.talktalk.net/Pdfprocessor.htm to run the action on all the pages.

Adjusting Levels not working, please help. Photoshop CS3

Anyone have an answer for me? Tech support NOT helpful unless I dish out even more money! Using Photoshop CS3. I am trying to adjust the levels on a very simple bitonal scan from PDF. When I adjust them by going to, Image, adjustments, levels, the preview of it works and it shows what I want, but when I hit OK, it dissapears. If I go to Layers, New Adjustment Layer, Levels, it shows up fine until I save it.. I am trying to save it as a PDF file, and I am saving it with Adobe 6 (1.5) because of compatibility issues (so I've read), it should save layers. But its not saving. Or maybe it's not opening in my Adobe Acrobat? is there an update I need or something? Is there a step I am missing? is anyone else having this problem? Even so, the Level adjust should work regularly while in PS CS3.
THANK YOU!!

make sure you're viewing the preview at 100% zoom. any other zoom level isn't going to give you a true representation of the adjustment you're making...

Preliminary dialogs in adjustment levels

I use Photioshop CS on a Mac G4 (PPC) with OS 10.4.11.
This is a very elementary question, I am afraid, but I nevertheless hope that someone will point me in the right direction.
If I choose Image/Adjustments/Levels, what I see straight away is the Levels dialog with its histogram and controls. But if I choose Layers/New adjustment layer/Levels, I first see a dialog as shown in my first example below.
If I then click on 'Color' it expands to my second example.below.
I have experimented with choosing different colours in the second drop-down menu, and cannot see any effects on what I do subsequently in the main Levels dialog or on the image I am editing. (A similar situation obtains if I select a Hue and Saturation adjustment layer.)
I have searched Photoshop Help and a large book on Photoshop that I have in my possession, but I cannot discover any explanations of these preliminary dialogs and what they are for. I should be most grateful for any advice.

Sounds like you are in CS5 not CS.
Look for the palette called adjustment, which should automatically pop up when creating adjsutment layers. If not window >> adjustment.

Adjustment Levels Bug

Hi, i'm using cs3 and i've got a weird error with adjusting the levels of an image.
All i have done is create a black background layer, added some noise, then i want to edit the levels. Unfortunately the image changes as per preview but whatever i change the settings to, it reverts back to the orginal set up when i press ok.
I have literally no idea what is going on and why, more to the point. Really frustrating.
Please help.
Thanks

Volume Adjustment - Level it off...

Is this possible? (I'm just brand spankin new to audio recording and this software)
I recorded Matt 4 different times on 4 tracks for a V.O. I took bits of each take that I liked and made one final piece... but sometimes I notice that track 2's audio was a little louder than track 4's...
In my compiled final track, is there a way for Soundtrack to make all clips the same audio level?
If not... I guess I need to know how to go under master volume and put keyframes in to adjust every track to track cut I made.... I hope this makes sense.
If you have a clue and could help me out, you would be the bomb diggity. Thanks,
Jer

Thanks man. That's exactly what I needed.

Automatically adjust levels in a track to create a common "volume"

Sorry for the dumb question but I am totally new to audio.
I have recorded a conference where there were multiple speakers sitting different distances away from 2 microphones. Therefore, the levels of each speaker are different due to their differing distances from the microphones. Is there a way to quickly process the audio to adjust for these fluctuations in volume without having to go through it manually and turn up or down each speaker?
Thanks,
Tom

You can try the Normalize (RMS) effect and also work with the compressor/limiter effect.
I suspect it will still take a lot of hand work to tweek it.
Good luck.

Strange discrepancy with adjustment levels

Using CS4 on a MacBookPro with OS 10.6.2.
Being a very experienced user, I suddenly encountered a weird thing that doesn't go away restarting the computer or resetting PS:
When I have the levels dialogue (cmd+l) on the screen, I tweak the settings until I see what I want to see, like always.
HOWEVER, when I then click OK to accept my adjustment, the image CHANGES.
Looks rather similar to switching between RGB and CMYK-preview, or even more drastical.
This makes the whole dialogue completely useless, since what I see is no longer what I get.
Same problem with the other adjustments - curves, saturation.
What I see in preview is NOT what I get after accepting.
I can trick it by using an adjustment layer in stead, since that obviously doesn't involve clicking OK.
BUT! When I than flatten the image or merge the adjustment layer down on to the image layer, the same thing happens: the image changes appearance.
Can't begin to imagine where the problem might lay - anyone got an idea??
Have run this program on this computer with this monitor for some time now, and the strange behaviour just started today, out of the blue.

Yes, you were right.
With "bizarre" I meant that I never noticed the effect in more than 10 years, having spent probably in the thousands of hours in Photoshop, all the way back to the Stone Age version 4.
In fact, I tried different files and could NOT reproduce the effect, except with the one file that caused my alarm.
It was a shot of a very textured metal surface, and I am of course well aware of the fact that PS cannot depict 16,6% of a pixel, hence the moire and general noise.
I was amazed, however, to see how much of a discrepancy the levels caused at this magnification.
Anyway, point taken, case closed. Thanks.

My action don't record adjustments to curve and levels layers?

Hi
I'm experiencing problems when making a new action in PS, it seem that PS only record if I chose an layer but not the adjustment. Been trying to correct existing layers and making new ones in a action - but no difference.
Any one having this problem too...?
Have a lot of packshots that need the same correction and usually these kind of actions takes me 1 min to do - but now I can't make it work...

I am having the exact same problem. Other adjustment layers when changed record a "set current layer" but loading a preset or making a change on the curve is not being recorded at all. Tried deleting my prefs and that didn't solve anything. Would love an answer to this!
