Cursor Follow Image Edit

Hi
I'm doing a flash website and I want to do something like
this:
http://www.spotfrank.com/zara
Open Menu> Biography
Where the coloured bar changing the image colour follows the
vertical position of the cursor. Thanks to anyone who can tell me
how to do this!!
Thanks a lot
Sam

2. Is it possible that the Edit Date is changed - wherever it resides - when one upgrades an image via the LR3 2010 process?
Of course it is. Why wouldn't that count as an edit?

    What edition of LR 5? What edition of ACR does PSCS 6 contain. If they are not parallel (same edition number x in [5 or 8].x ), is LR making a tiff or psd rendition of the image?

  • How do I save Lightroom image edits in source file?

    My experience with the trial version of lightroom is very positive in terms of the convenient and powerful capabilities for editing images and the associated metadata.  But I can't find a way to save the "develop" edits to images into the source file for the photo I am working with.  So far, I am able to save the metadata into the file but not the image editing.  From what I read, I fear this is not possible without silly round about exporting to new files then copying / moving multiple copies around, etc. Without this ability, I am pretty sure I will not purchase lightroom and will miss out on all the powerful features.  Without an OPTION that turns on the equivalent of a SAVE button, managing my photos collection would be a nightmare. 
    So my question is: How do I save the edited (i.e., developed) version of a photo back into the same file where the original photo was stored?
    Please, please spare me all the reponses telling me how stupid I am for wanting to do this and that the cognisenti and professionals would NEVER do this.    But please just tell me there is a secret place to turn on this option in lightroom.
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the same requirement to save in JPEGs files all non-metadata edits performed in Lightroom, in order to share modified pictures without duplicating files. By the way, I think it’s going to be more and more required by casual Lightroom users, as people get used to instant photo sharing in many situations where quantity matters more than quality
    Here’s a nearly automatic (at least, scalable) solution that works, although it slightly lowers the quality by re-compressing the original pictures.
    Once for all:
    Download and install the wonderful Lightroom plugin “jf Run Any Command”, provided as donationware by Jeffrey Friedl here: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/run-any-command. This “export filter” plugin allows you to run a command of your choice with each exported file, as part of the export while it’s going on. (You may also browse Jeffrey’s blog to find many other useful and beautiful things.)
    In Lightroom, pre-define an export settings as follows:
    Export to the hard drive, to the original picture folder, without adding the exported file to the catalog
    Name the exported file “EXPORTED-{Filename}” (or anything different from the original file name)
    JPEG format, 76% quality (see An Analysis of Lightroom JPEG Export Quality Settings at http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/jpeg-quality)
    Keep all metadata
    Here’s the interesting part, the Run Any Command settings:
    Command to execute for each exported picture: copy "{FILE}" "{Path}\{LIBRARYFILENAME}" (this replaces the original file with a copy of the exported file)
    Command to execute upon export completion: del {FILES} (this deletes all exported files).
    NB: One could wonder why not directly export with the original file name and silently replace the original files (I believe Lightroom would allow this). It’s just a matter of error handling: in case the export goes wrong, no original file is changed at all.
    The easy part: each time you want to save edits:
    In Lightroom, select the pictures to save, and export them with the pre-defined settings. You're almost done. The JPEG files are ok, but inside Lightroom you see the modification effects doubled, as their specifications remain in the catalog database and they apply on modified JPEG instead of the original files.
    While the entire set of "saved" pictures is still selected, in the Develop module switch Autosync on and click Reinit to erase all modification specifications from the catalog for all pictures, then press CTRL-S to write down to disk any metadata updated by Lightroom -and accept if required to confirm that Lightroom values should replace externally set values.

  • Plugins not showing up in Images - Edit With... menu

    I've installed several Aperture 2 plugins (I currently and using Aperture 2.1). Every user guide states I can find the plugins in the following menu: Images -> Edit With...
    The only plugin I ever see in the is Dodge and Burn.
    Like I said, I run completely through the installer for the plugins. It asks for permission, says its installing packages, writing files, writing scripts etc. When I right click on Aperture and select "Show Package Contents", I see no traces of my installed plugins in the "Plugins" folder.
    Anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

    I just reread your OP. The plugins should be stored in: Root (not User) >> Library >> Application Support >> Aperture >> Plugins >> Edit (or just plugins w/o the edit folder)
    Are they there?
    I just installed that plugin you linked to, and it worked fine. Have you restarted, repaired permissions etc? Remember that the Aperture application HAS to be in the applications folder, not in a sub-folder and not renamed to function properly.

  • How to make background image editable in a template

    I have built a template and would like to make the background
    image editable, but not the rest of the settings in the body style.
    (I'm not sure of my terminology yet.) The background image is
    currently set in the locked part of the page. I've tried to insert
    an editable region in the html code, as I cannot get to the
    background image by clicking on it or selecting on the Design page.
    But I am not allowed to change the code in this way.
    What is the best way to do this? I'm not sure how to make a
    div of this one setting. Or even if that is what is needed.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    So to give a different background image to different pages using CSS.
    Create a CSS file in your Dreamweaver site.
    Link it to your pages.(in your head tag like so: <link href="path/to/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />)
    In your HTML code find the body tag and give it an id (like so: <body id="myUniqueID">)
    In your stylesheet write the following code:
    #myUniqueID{
    background: #color, url("path/to/image.jpeg") repeat);
    And now extrapolate the above steps and code to your other pages and voila, you now have different background images for your different pages.
    To learn more about CSS - visit your local web search engine.
    To see the power of CSS, check out http://csszengarden.com/ where the exact same HTML file is styled by different CSS stylesheets.

  • Can't export images edited with external editor

    Images edited within iPhoto '11 export to the desktop without a problem but images that have been edited with an external editor (Photoshop CS4) will not export. The following dialog come up:
    Exporting...
    Unable to create /Users/<name>/Desktop/
    Cancel
    Don't know if this has any bearing but the problem is on my wife's iMac, not my MacPro.
    Any clues to the source of the problem will be appreciated.

    Thanks TD for your input. While I could not get the rebuild to work (it would show 97% done then hang up), it helped me isolate the problem. I ended up deleting all the images that were edited by PS CS4 then tried to do the rebuild again. Still no luck. I then opened the file sans the edited PS images and it worked.
    I then edited one of the images using PS CS4 as the external editor and that worked. I then exported the image to the desktop and that also worked. The only think I can think of is that the original edits were done in iPhoto 9.0 and I have since updated it to 9.1. Whatever - it works and the only loss were some edits on a dozen or so family candid shots.
    Your help in getting me headed is most appreciated.

  • Can someone please vectorize the following image :)

    Hello. I was wondering if anyone could vectorize the following image and upload it as an .ai file?  It's going to be a vital part of a birthday present for a friend, but I need to upscale it to a bigger proportion; however, the current image is a .png file and it becomes pixelated when I upscale it.
    In addition to attaching the file, you can find the image here: http://i.imgur.com/23x0Z3D.png
    It would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
    Edit: You can also contact me at [email address removed]

    Imagine if you will....
    You walk into a bakery you've never been in before. You don't know anyone there, never seen the employees before, never had any conversations with them. You walk up to the counter and ask, "Hi, my name's Seriouslysjiasjdijas.  You don't know me but I was wondering, would you mind making this cake for me as a favor?"
    Or imagine you call Pizza Hut. You don't know anyone there, never had any real communication with them and you ask, "Hi, my name's Seriouslysjiasjdijas.  You don't know me but I have a friend with a birthday coming up and I'm in need of a vital part of the present I'm giving. Would you mind delivering a pizza to my house? I sure would appreciate it. Thanks."
    What do you think the responses would be?
    Unlike many forums and web sites, this site may be a bit different because the bulk of the users here make a living doing this very sort of thing. Asking for a "favor" which amounts to free work and intellectual property infringement from a professional community which you've never been in before is simply flat out rude. That's right, you were the rude party here. FYI, many here make a living via intellectual property, they aren't of mind to start stealing from others just because you need a "favor." It's comical that my gentle nudging you to realize how rude you were being has, in turn, seemingly made you project the rudness you displayed as if it were my fault???
    Where do you work? Can I walk into your place of business and expect free service as a favor? Why are you entitled to strangers doing you a favor? If I ask you to steal something for me, are you going to?
    The work you posted is copyrighted. Meaning it's OWNED BY SOMEONE. You can't simply ask others to duplicate it trusting that your use is within warranted limits. No one here knows you. No one here has any clue what you'd use the artwork for. Anyone can post anything regarding their reasoning why they want someone to STEAL from others. That doesn't make it true. You could very well want the artwork to put on t-shirts and start selling them. How are we to know? Because you typed one sentence???
    FYI, those sites you mention regarding t-shirt printing put the onus of infringement ON YOU. You are forced to agree to terms which contain specific passages where you agree you own the artwork and if you do not you are the liable party, not them. You clearly have never read what you are agreeing to there. While it may be true major corporations won't bother with you, you are liable. And any artist doing this "favor" of theft for you would also be liable unless you signed a similar agreement taking all legal responsibility for the unauthorized dulpication of copyrighted materials.
    Ultimately, I posted one simple sentence and a question. The first politely explaining that what you were asking is improper here. The second a question to perhaps get you to reflect on what it was you were asking of strangers. Obviously, that failed. The fact that you've in turn decided the proper action is to begin insulting me for merely pointing out how rude you were being states a great deal. You've extrapolated a great deal from my two simple lines of text regarding who you think I am with no other information to base any of your opinions on, yet have completely missed the point that really.... you should be reflecting on what type of person would behave as you have behaved in this thread. You've now given the impression of a 6 year old throwing a tantrum because they were told "no." Good Job!
    I'm not the party who was out of line here. If you think I am... then you should really look into your own actions. But hey, I realize as a user with a whopping 3 posts in this community you know EVERYTHING about everyone here and how things are done.

  • Image editing in iPages?

    I print up several 8.5" x 11" event posters for group activities. I would like to move on from text only posters to text and images. I would like to take pictures that I have taken and add traced outline images to my posters. Does anyone know if iPages and/or iPhoto allows a way to use image editing with the mouse to trace a line along the outline of objects depicted in a photo?

    could you explain in more detail? How do one "apply transparency" etc. in Pages. Where is the free hand tool? It is difficult to follow your instructions as they are now.
    Drag and drop colour bitmap or grascale bitmap. With bitmap still selected, go to the Graphic mode of the Inspector, and in the Graphic mode of the Inspector select the Opacity slider.
    In the main menu bar, select Insert, in the Insert menu select Shape, and in the Shape menu select Draw a Shape (which is the freehand tool). When you have your shape, apply a stroke and a fill to it.
    Continue to add shapes with strokes and fills until you have the look and layout you want. Then group the shapes, copy to another document, and delete the document with the bitmap template.
    The step from the concept description to the menu description could be had from the Apple Pages manual. This type of drawing and colouring for posters emulates the shapes and colours of lithographic posters that were popular 1860-1960. The difference between a good design and a bad design is not really a difference in the software you select but in your own understanding of how to work with line and colour.

  • Image editing software

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but...
    I'm looking for imaging editing software that, in addition to having layers, has both of the following:
    1) Clone tool
    2) A filter or effect that turns digital photos into oil-painting images
    Preferably something other than Adobe, and something that costs about $70 or less.
    Can anyone suggest something? A Google search proved fruitless; almost impossible to find anything that definitively says it has both.

    Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac ($80 or so)
    Pixelmator ($59. Download it from the Pixelmator site)
    GIMP (Free. Download it from GIMP on OS X. The complete description of the software, features & documentation is on the main GIMP site.)
    All three support layers, cloning, many effects including oil-painting

  • Images edited in Photoshop not showing up correctly in Lightroom after saving

    Hi,
    I recvently got Adobe cloud and upgraded from Lightroom 3 to 4.  Since the upgrade I have been having issues with Lightroom not correctly displaying images edited in Photoshop.  Instead of the photoshop image it creates a new jpeg and displays that in the library.  the PSD does not get loaded into the library.
    I am taking a jpeg from my library and shoosing the edit in Photoshop function.  I am selecting edit a copy, but have tried it with original and with edit a copy with lightroom adjustments as well with the same results. 
    In Photoshop I am duplicating the base layer, upscaling the image, running some filters, adding dsome adjustment layers. 
    I save the image in Photoshop format back to the original folder where the initial jpeg was in the Lightroom library.  I save it with maximize compatibility on.
    When I go back to Lightroom, the catalog displays two files, the initial jpeg and an identical copy to it, NOT the new photoshop file with alterations.  If I go to the folder the images are housed in in Finder using the show in Finder command both images link to the same original jpeg.  The photoshop edited file is there in the folder but does not show up in Lightroom unless I drag and drop it.
    I have turned off all filters and made sure the sort is sorting by name.  The image does not automatically show up in Lightroom after editing.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks for any help!
    PS. I did search the topic and there are threads from 2007 and lightroom 2 but their solution was to start from scratch essentially and I have a carefully tagged, starred, and labeled catalog of 30,000+ images and really don't want to do that

    Images that are edited in Photoshop will be displayed automatically in Lr only when the image-file saved in Photoshop is the same as the one opened from Lr.
    You say you open a JPG from Lr, then edit it in PS by - among other things - adding some layers. Layers are not supported in the JPG-format so you have to either save it as a psd or as a jpg-copy.
    In either case this is not the same image file as the one opened in Lr, so it will have to be imported into Lr to show up. If you would flatten your image after editing in PS and then do a <save> to your JPG - not a <save as> - it will show up in Lr.
    PS: the only exception is when you open a Raw image from Lr in PS and you save it in PS in the file format specified in Lr for external editing. The saved file will automatically show in LR.

  • How do you delete entire folders of pictures in the image editing software instead of one at a time!

    Don't know how I did it, but I imported 11,000 pictures into the new image editing software - none of which I took with my new powershot sx50 hs.  I can only delete the ONE AT A TIME - HELP!!  Anyway to delete entire folders? 

    Thank you for your reply.  I did not get an 'advanced guide' on the CD... I just got 89 page user guide.
    About deleting, you can not select multiple pics (by holding control key).  You can only delete ONE at a time.  I don't have time to delete 11, 137 pictures.
    OH MY!  Love the camera but paid too much for it not to be able to use the software.  Thanks again.

  • RAW IMAGE EDITING -help required

    Please can someone help me with this.
    I look at my RAW images in Organiser and then I use the EDIT tap to move to the RAW IMAGE edit section with the image I want to edit.
    After I have edited the image- I move the image back to the main EDIT screen and then save as a Jpeg File in another folder.
    The problem I am having is, when I then go back to the Organiser, I cant open the unedited original RAW image again, not sure why this is?
    although I can see a small thamb-nail of the image it does not open but keeps on searching.
    Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
    Thank you in advance

    To be sure I understand your workflow, I'll put it in my own words...
    - You select a raw file in the Organizer, and you choose to edit it in full edit/expert mode (that depends on the PSE version).
    - The file opens in the specific dialog panel of ACR, with its typical sliders
    - When you have done your edits there, you can either be satisfied with them (case 1) or want to do further editing in the PSE editor with layers or other tools (case 2)
    - case 1  - you simply click 'Done' and you are back in the organizer. The thumbnail is updated to show the edits.
    - case 2 - You click 'Open' and the file opens in the normal editor mode of PSE. You do further edits, and you save the result in the format and the folder you want. When you close the image in the editor, you get back to the Organizer. If you have set your 'save as'  with the right checkbox, the new jpeg is stored in the the Catalog as a version set.
    Your problem seems to be that once you have edited your original raw file, you don't see it in its original state without the edits ?
    If so, in the bar just under the tabs, you have a menu on the right (4 bars icon). You just set the choice to camera raw defaults, and you are shown the original raw image without your edits. Note that if you choose 'Shift + Open', you open a new copy without changing the previous settings saved in the xmp sidecar file.

  • Aperture, Photoshop, and Apple's possible direction for Image Editing

    All,
    After using Aperture now for several days, and reading many different forum topics, in particular this one which speaks of desired enhancements to Aperture:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=253594&tstart=0
    there is one thing that really sticks out on my mind. While all of us photographers have slightly different specifics to our workflow, in general they are very similar. And with respect to Aperture, there is one huge area where most of us seem to be hitting the brick wall: image adjustments, and by extension, image file management. Let me explain what I mean.
    I think it is a fair generalization to say that the vast majority of serious digital photographers are using Photoshop (or some other image editing app, but I'm just going to refer to Photoshop for convenience) for post-processing of some kind. In using Aperture, and figuring out how to fit it into workflow, we've got this situation of how to move from organization and image library management to the full gamut of image adjusting functionality (photoshop) and back again to library management. The need to use photoshop then exposes the issue of how files are stored on the filesystem, etc. Stay with me here...
    I have found myself thinking, and it is pretty clearly demonstrated in the forum topic mentioned above where folks are making suggestions for improvements to Aperture, that there's this barrel people are over in knowing whether Photoshop and Aperture should live in the workflow together, or whether Aperture should (or is intended to) replace Photoshop in the workflow. This got me to thinking about the fundamental question -- what is the intent, i.e. the vision for Aperture? Is it meant to replace Photoshop, or restated, is Aperture meant to be the app in which all image adjustments are to be made, OR is Aperture meant to just ease workflow, and is it intended not to be the primary app for image adjustments, but rather integrate with the primary image adjustment app?
    The reason I bring this up is that the answer to this question makes all the difference in what enhancement requests and what people should expect from Aperture now, and in future versions. If Aperture is the primary place for image adjustment, then its obvious that there are some very significant additions that need to take place to Aperture, and likewise, the issue of putting images on the filesystem becomes much less important. However, if Aperture is a workflow-easer, then such image adjustment improvements are minimally important if at all, and filesystem / Photoshop / PSD file integration becomes paramount.
    I know what Aperture does, what features it provides, etc. But I can't help but realize that its not really that clear (or I just don't understand yet) what the full scope of Aperture now and in the future is intended to be, and the forum topics are pretty decent documentation of the fact that the user base at this point is fairly cloudy on that too.
    I can't help thinking that in the midst of the Apple pro line of tools, where we have tools that edit: video, audio, DVD creation, text effects, and now digital photography workflow, that there's one glaring hole: static image editing, i.e. a direct Photoshop competitor. I went through the Aperture video demos before Aperture shipped, and watched these photo pros talk incessantly about how "now there's an app that addresses how I work -- Aperture". That's great, but Apple has to know the role that Photoshop plays in present photography workflow -- for those pros too. So I'm sitting here thinking to myself, why would Apple roll out such a product with some clear workflow hurdles to common Photoshop usage.
    Ok, here's the punchline: does anyone else here have a sneaking suspicion that Apple is not to far off from releasing their own image editing application that's a direct Photoshop competitor? I mean come on, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Sountrack, and by extension of the CEO to Pixar, Renderman. How can you not have a static image adjustment application entering the scene at some point?
    I'm curious what others think. I'm just trying to make sense of how to fit the neat stuff I see in Aperture into a workflow that doesn't play very nicely with Aperture at some points (because I'm using Photoshop).

    So Apple adds curves adjustments,
    we'll need noise reduction, greater sharpening
    capability, etc., etc., and then when we have all
    those features, surely we'll need masking and select
    capability to perform those adjustments selectively,
    etc. Where does it end?
    Actually that could be a good cut-off point - add a few more/better 'global' adjustments but leave all mask, selection and layer based tasks to external editors. Personally, I used to swear by curves, but haven't really touched them in PS for a year since shooting more RAW and learning how to use the shadow/highlight adjustment properly. Sometimes for overall colour for JPEGs, but that bit can be done just as well in levels.
    My workflow isn't particularly typical, but here goes.
    Type of photography - stitched panoramas as a professional, plus general snapshots/nature/landscape as hobby. Single user with no network storage.
    Currently I use a very organised folder structure in the Finder, along with aliases in DragThing docks for easy access to final stitched files, all with their own unique ID. RAW conversions are done in ACR/PSCS2, or Bibble if I'm in a hurry on the laptop. About 40% of the panos are shot in RAW, 40% are bracketed JPEG and the remaining 20% are 'single' JPEG. The panoramas go through quite a lot of post-processing in PS using a whole series of actions and AppleScripts.
    I'm expecting my workflow to look something like this:
    1) Download directly into Aperture, possibly with added help from Automator/Applescript when it comes to proper date-based names.
    2) Divide download into a new album for each panorama.
    2a) If it is a people pano there will be quite a lot of duplicate shots for each panohead position - make a stack for each position and choose picks - this bit will speed things up enormously by itself. Reorder stacks to fit correct order of images going around the scene.
    3) Export to TIFF (sometimes JPEG) and stitch using PTMac (sometimes Realviz Stitcher). Oh, and any people who think Aperture is limited, buggy and bad value should go and look at Stitcher - it costs the same, has a far more limited feature set, is on version 5 and by comparison makes Aperture look bug-free.
    4) Bring stitched panorama into Photoshop to adjust seams through layers if needed, flatten, final tone adjustments (usually using shadow/highlight), possibly some colour tweaks, sharpen. For bracketed shots I will blend together the three exposures at this point using a custom action - this kind of thing is unlikely ever to make it to Aperture.
    5) Bring final print-ready file into Aperture for cataloguing/backup.
    5a) If file is too big for Aperture, make a smaller version for cataloguing and store original file in Finder. This gives me a good file for 90% of purposes, with the huge file available with a bit more work.
    Too big? I've found that Aperture gets sluggish with files over 18-20,000 pixels wide, and chokes totally somewhere between 25,000 and 32,000 pixels wide - 'image format unsupported'.
    To summarise - organise and convert in Aperture, stitch in specialist software, do PS-specific stuff then bring final image back in to join the source images.

  • Is precise image editing possible in Contribute?

    I designed a site for a client and gave them a guide with
    precise instructions for the sizes of images in different layouts.
    The problem is, Contribute doesn't seem to allow for *precise*
    image editing. For instance, I have a layout which uses graphics at
    106x106 pixels. The client has photos from a digital camera that
    they need to crop/resize to go into this layout. I can resize the
    shorter dimension to 106 by entering a number in the toolbar.
    Theoretically, I should then be able to simply crop the image to
    106 in the other dimension. But as far as I can tell, there is no
    way to crop something numerically, and the width/height fields do
    not change dynamically as I move the crop window. So the only way
    to do it is visually, by trial and error. Which means I shave off
    enough that it's close, and then try to count the pixels as I move
    the crop window, and hope I haven't moved it two pixels in one
    move, or its UNDO and try again.
    A related issue: is there any way for the Contribute user to
    change the dpi of an image? They often shoot photos at a higher dpi
    for using in print, and it would be nice if they could reduce these
    photos to 72dpi in Contribute. The whole point of my recommending
    Contribute was so they could update their own webpages just using
    this program. If they have to call me to modify images, or purchase
    a separate piece of software just to crop/resize images adequately,
    then that really defeats the purpose of their using
    Contribute.

    Thanks for posting this. I'd not discovered the right-click
    menu that allows for cropping, rotating, etc. This seems a very
    useful feature.
    Having found it I thought I'd see if I can find a way to do
    what you're looking for, but unfortunately I can't find any way to
    set the crop width and height either. I suspect that without an
    external application, such as Fireworks (pay) or Gimp (free),
    you'll not be able to crop the image to a specific size other than
    through the trial and error approach you're using.
    Also, I could find no way to reduce the DPI of an image, but
    to be honest this doesn't surprise me, as this is more of an
    advanced feature and Macromedia sell a product capable of this. You
    did mention that you recommended Contribute so your client could
    update their own web pages, and while graphics are included within
    a web page, they are separate files and for the most part will
    require a separate application to update them.
    My suggestion would be to get a separate application for the
    image, but you're not limited to purchasing one. One pretty good,
    and FREE, editor is Pixel Editor (
    http://www.iconempire.com/pixel-editor/index.htm)
    which should be fine for reducing DPI and cropping, as well as a
    host of other features. You could also try GIMP for Windows (
    http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net
    - an open-source product), which is also free and very well
    respected in the open-source community. However, both these will
    require your client learning a new product, so I concede to your
    initial point of kind of defeating the point of using Contribute,
    except that you'd be hard pressed to find a similar product to
    Contribute for web page design that include the feature you're
    needing.
    Hope this helps, even a little.

  • Best Monitor for Image Editing?

    Hi people!
    Since Apple is making super-bright-extra-saturated monitors since the LED technology, I'm wondering which monitor would be good for image editing. I noticed that the LED one has too much contrast and the images looks like "already edited" in these monitors, but they're not. Is there a way to change that instead of buying a new monitor, for example? Like using a monitor calibrator, but certainly, I have found that Spyder Software to do so (or the one which comes with the Macintosh) has complicated user interface.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Ø3

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. My preference has to be Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 (Mac). It's the little brother of the standard of the industry in image editing, Photoshop. Here's an example of some of it's advanced editing capabilities.
