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.

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.

I can only select HDR Toning Shadows/Highlights and Variations when I go to Image Adjustments

I'm trying to use Hue/Saturations but its grayed out the only options i have when i go to Image>Adjustments are HDR Toning Shadows/Highlights and Variations. My layer is set to RGB. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME IM TRYING TO MAKE A MINECRAFT THUMBNAIL.

OK, Restarting Aperture did not help so I restarted the whole computer. And that cleared it all up.
So something must have gotten out of whack and only a restart was able to fix it.

Image adjustments variables is missing in my PS CS5 Extended

Hi,
I'm working with PS CS5 extended, and I'm missing the option image>adjustments>variables.
According to the information on the internet it should be there at the very same place that I'm used to finding it, but it seems to be missing at my version (12.0.4).
Can anybody tell me what is going on here?

So were can I find my variations option?

How do I get QT 6.5.2 image adjustments to be retained on iMovie import

Hi,
I produced a DVD last year using clips from my digital camera (which always need tint, contrast, brightness, and color adjustments), Quicktime, and iMovie. I sat down this weekend to do the same thing, but discovered, much to my discomfiture, that the image adjustment features are missing in Quicktime Pro 7 (on my Powerbook G4 running Mac OS 10.3.9). Luckily, I'd kept quicktime 6.5.2 because I'd heard that the upgrade would eliminate the features. However when I import a 6.5.2-adjusted clip into iMovie, the image adjustments aren't retained! Do I have to downgrade iMovie too or what? How do I get my image adjustments to stick?
I've tried making the same adjustments using iMovie, but they don't provide nearly the amount of fine control as in quicktime 6.5.2 and I just end up making it look worse no matter how much I fiddle with it. I event tried counting how many pixels I'm moving the slider over to match the quicktime adjustments and I just can't reproduce the image quality.
Is there a way I can get this to work without having to buy anything (which I find highly questionable since I used to be able to do this before) and if I MUST buy something, how will I know if I need to buy a new graphics card (as is mentioned on one of the support FAQs)?
Rob

That's all well and good, but it's so much more time consuming. I've been trying, unsuccessful, for hours to get the image just right in this one clip using the method you suggest - a process which took me under a minute using the video controls in 6.5.2 - and I can't seem to get it right. I know that iMovie used to respect the adjustments made in the video controls because I have DVDs to prove it that I made a year ago. Using the filter process you suggested has proven to be too time consuming for me. These clips need a lot of adjusting and I often go back and forth between the adjustments to tweak them based on the new image quality. Sure filters give me more options, but it just takes way too long and all I can seem to do is make it worse. I want it to work the way it used to, and as far as I can tell, there are two solutions: downgrade something or upgrade the OS and possibly install a video card. Does anyone know if a downgrade of just iMovie will work or do I need to reinstall my OS (and not update) to restore the previous abilities? Or, if I upgrade the OS, how will I know if I need the aforementioned graphics card? If I upgrade, will it work the way it used to and import into iMove with the image adjustments or will it not work that way anymore at all?
Thanks,
Rob

Image Adjustments won't stay on

Hey everybody, I'm Steven! I'm working on a sci-fi mural spacescape for my art class, and I'm having a bit of difficulty in the star scape area. See, whenever I do anything in the "Image > Adjustments" tab at the top of Photoshop, the preview on my page makes it look just how I want it, but after I click OK, or Apply, it either goes right back to how it was before I did the adjustment, or it does it to a degree, it just goes back halfway.
For instance, when I click "add noise", then go to Image > Adjustments > Levels to thin the noise out to resemble stars, as a base layer to my starscape, and get it perfect, with the right amount of contrast and everything, when I click OK, it just goes back to big ugly noise. Now, I've added adjustment layers, but those effect everything under them, and I kind of need this to be specific. I've tried changing my mode to 32, 16 and 8 bit, as well as from RGB to CYMK and others. If anyone could help me out, I'd be really grateful! Thanks!
(P.S. I'm using CS4, if that helps)
Steven.

Well, I did have one file that looked similar to it in the directory I was opening it from, so to be safe, I moved it and tried again, but it didn't work. The thing is, when I do Image > Adjustments, the preview on my actual canvas looks good, but when I click OK to lock it in, it just goes back to the way it was before, or kinda how I wanted it, but only a fraction, like half power. And when I save it, it also won't stay on. It will keep effect if I add an adjustments layer, and give me the desired effect, but it affects all the layers below it, not just the one I want, and it will revert to what it was before the effect if I save it as anything but a .PSD, for instance a .PNG, it will go back to white noise, not stars, just like Image > Adjustments. I did both Save and Save As, but they both had the same outcome. Haha, it seems I've really gotten myself in a pickle. Thanks for helping me out -
-Steven

Problems with "Image adjustments" in print menu

I am having roblems with "Image adjustments" in the Aperture print menu. When I try to use Brightness, Contrast or Saturation in the Image Ajustment section of the Print menu I get a white screen where my photo to print had been. When I uncheck the Image Ajustments block my photo returns.
Has anyone else had this problem, and/or can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks in advance

Not seeing that here. 10.9.2 and 3.5.1
Does it happen with all images? If so create a new library import an image into it and see if the problem still happens.
If it happens with a new library try a doing it as a different user. Either use the Guest account or make a new user, make a nee library, import an image and try it.
If it happens with just the one library try a library repair. If it happens with multiple libraries but just in the one user account try moving the Aperture preference file out.
If it happens with he new user also try reinstalling Aperture.
See Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics for direction on doing a repair or moving the preference file.
post back if you still have the problem

Correct gamma when using Image Adjustments Exposure?

This is a question on the gamma adjustment available in Image > Adjustments > Exposure on Photoshop CS2 for Windows.
The Gamma parameter in Image > Adjustments > Exposure seems to calculate something other than a simple gamma function (i.e. new_pixel = old_pixel ^ gamma) for the shadows.
The online help says:
"Gamma Adjusts the image gamma, using a simple power function. Negative values are mirrored around zero (that is, they remain negative but still get adjusted as if they were positive)."
Now if I create a simple 8bit greyscale gradient, then apply that function with a gamma value of 1.5 and then plot the result, I get some funny curve in the darks. If I do the same with the grey (middle) slider in the Levels dialog, I get a nice exponential function as expected after a gamma correction.
Can anyone shed some light on what is happening in Image > Adjustments > Exposure > Gamma?
Thanks a lot in advance
Martin

I cannot repro that. Here's what I do:
1. Start a new document, 256x256 pixels, sRGB color space
2. Add two vertical guides to the left and the right border, so you can snap to it
3. Make a black-to-white gradient with dithering on from left to right, snapping to the guides
4. Duplicate the background layer twice, producing layer 2 and 3
5. With layer 2 active, open Image > Adjustments > Exposure and set Gamma=1.5, click OK
6. With layer 3 active, hit Ctrl+L for Levels and set the middle (grey) input levels value to 1/1.5 = 0.6667 and hit OK
7. Now turn the visibility of layer 3 on and off --> you will see a difference in the blacks, in pixel columns 60 and below; you could also use the color sampler tool to verify the pixel values are different. For example, the pixel at x=40, y=165 has RGB=1/1/1 with the exposure tool, and RGB=4/4/4 with the Levels tool.
Note: At least on my system, the difference is MUCH more visible when I use the color profile generated by an Xrite eyeone that calibrates my system to D65, gamma 2.2, 120 cd/m^2. Without the profile, the difference is barely visible.

I have reinstalled CS5.1 extended on my new Lenovo Laptop with Win 8.1 64 bit. No installation problems, but now Image Adjustments and tools do not work any more.

Operating Problem with CS5.1 extended. I replaced my old HP Laptop with a new Lenovo laptop with Win 8.1 and reinstalled CS5.1 64-bit version. The software downloaded and installed correctly and worked for a day, but when I rebooted the next day, the Image Adjustments and tools functions did not respond any more. I have uninstalled and redownloaded/ reinstalled without success.

Image adjustments not staying??

Hi helpers!
I have come across a strange problem in Photoshop CS4 - I am trying to increase the contrast in some greyscale line drawings, however no matter if I adjust using levels, curves, exposure - it always appears OK as I'm using the slider bars but when I click OK the image returns to it's original state.
I've tried saving as a PSD, TIFF, JPG, tried saving as CMYK., creating a new layer....
Never come across this before...any help much appreciated!
Amanda

I have been since able to change contrast but only by going into the Window/Adjustments panel which
does not require an OK click to confirm changes.
Glad the images have been fixed but still can't understand why I can't keep the changes in my usual Image/Adjustments way of doing things.

Lift and stamp image adjustments inconsistently working

Just started playing with Aperture a few hours ago and seem to have intermittent problems lifting and stamping image adjustments. The manual has little info about lifting, beyond metadata, but sometimes I'm able to also lift image adjustments (color correction, crop, etc.). This was an advertised feature, so I assume the lack of info in the manual about lifting image adjustments is an oversight (or I am missing it). Unfortunately, I'm not usually able to lift image adjustments. They appear to be consistently availabel in the Lift HUD right after I make the adjustment to the image, but if I click away and then back, the adjustment is gone.
I think it has something to do with the tiny icons on the lower-right part of some of my images. The one I usually see when I make some adjustments is a small white box with a left and right arrow on top of each other. This typically indicates that something isn't synched in other programs, but I don't know what needs to be synched in Aperture. The adjustments remain on the image when I click away and then back to it so they appear to be sticking.
I've seen a couple of other icons show up in the lower right hand corner of images, but haven't been able to figure out what they mean. There doesn't seem to be mention of them anywhere in the Aperture documentation. Does anyone have a pointer or explanation of each of the icons' significance?

OK, I got a bit of an answer from the instructional DVD. In the Image Adjusting section, they talk about lift and stamp. The problem is that you can't just select the image in the image browser, you have to click on the rendered image to lift the adjustments. It looks like you can also do this by option-clicking on the thumbnails.
In the demo, though, they appear to lift and stamp a crop. I can't get anything other than color and luminance adjustments to show up in the list of possible adjustments to lift. Rotation, crop, etc. They're all ignored. Am I missing something?

Image adjustments not exported

Why are my image adjustments not exported with the images?

The adjustments included: exposure, clarity, saturation, vibrance and tone curve. I was using the export feature.

What adjustments did you make that do not appear to be exported? Can you show an example?
Also, just for grins, are you talking about using the export feature or exporting to PS for additional adjustments?

Saving Image Adjustments

Hello,
I am having trouble utilizing image adjustments in Photoshop CS4. I have multiple images that were taken at different times, under different stage conditions. I realize that any image adjustment will have differing results because of this, but to speed up production, I would like to save the image adjustments I make to one image so that I can apply those same adjustments to subsequent images.
I cannot figure out how this is done. Please let me know if this is possible, or if there are better ways of applying the same brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, and other image adjustments to several images.

There is a Photoshop forum where this would be best asked and answered.

Image Adjustments Replace Color

In CS2 or 3 I was able to select Image > Adjustments > Replace Color (I believe that is what it was called) and it opened a window that allowed me to to select the color that I want to replace and I was able to change the color in that window. I no longer see it in CS5. Was it moved somewhere else?
Thanks.

It should still be there.
Is it greyed out (32 bit image open) or the workspace your using
doesn't show it? (should be a Show All Menu Items at the bottom of the
adjustments menu)
