Highlight control

I have a motion menu that had been through AE and back into Encore which works fine apart from the fact that the highlights appear before the text layer in the menu animation in Encore. They appear at the start of the menu animation on the screen whilst the text layer is invisible until 2 seconds later (as is planned in my AE in comp). The text layer  and the highlight has had a position change and rotation change in AE. I cannot seem to work out how to stop this happening.

Use the loop point control under the Motion tab of the Menu Properties panel.

  • Shadows/Highlights not functioning properly

    Mac Mini, 2010, OS 10.8.2, 8GB ram, Photoshop 13.0.4 x64.
    The Image/Adjustments/shadows/highlights controls are, quite suddenly, not working properly. When the control sliders are moved, nothing happens to the on-screen image until the "OK" button is actuated when any changes made to the sliders are suddenly visible. I have done all the usual things, including re-installing, but nothing helps.
    Please, someone, help me get "shadows/highlights" back to normal functions.
    Thanks, Al

    I've banged my head on that one before, usually after many hours of no sleep cramming on a dealine. It's now the first thing I look for.

  • Adding text in Print module

    LR3.2 on Win7 64-bit
    I wanted to add two lines of text under a photo placed in a template that starts with no text. I followed steps for this exact task in Kelby's book on LR3 (p.340) and it *seemed* LR3 was acting differently than demonstrated/described there. Perhaps something anticipated during development did not make it to the RTM versions...
    I turned on Identity Plate with a checkbox in the Page module but found I could not add anything on a second line. I had controls for size, font, and color. Size changes chosen in the drop down made no difference to the previewed text size, but I could resize the text box using handles. I could not force the cursor any further into the line in the characters box than those characters seen in the window offered in the control, therefore everything had to be typed into a choice of very small font size  -  to be resized later.
    So I never got that second line.
    Is there a better way to do this without going over to Photoshop?
    jonathan7007

    Thanks, Sean. This isn't the only place I've seen a difference and I wonder if anyone has ever seen a list of those differences. I wasted some time trying this again and again. Kelby usually points out the divergent UI elements. I bet he didn't know.
    No combination (that made any sense) created a second line in my Win7 version, and the inability to format the whole string by cursor highlighting control was a real problem. Looks like the graphic identity plate is the only way to go.
    I will ask a separate question/discussion about the other difference I want to investigate.

  • HP Pavilion x360 touchscreen stops working with Win 8.1 pro

    I currently have a HP Pavilion x360 2in1 convertible laptop.  The model # is 11-n010dx.  My issue is the touchscreen was working just fine with Win 8 on it, however, I need to be able to connect to my work network and that requires Win 8.1 pro.  I did the upgrade to Win 8.1 pro 64-bit and the touchscreen is not even recognized by the OS.  It states "No pen or Touch input is available for this display."  I have installed all of the drivers, nothing is missing from the device manager.  I try to install SP57846 but get an error that states that my computer does not meet the minimum requirememnt for this update.  I just need drivers to run my touchscreen in Win 8.1 pro 64-bit.
    Thanks

    Hi @ThundarTheOrk ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 11-n010dx x360 and the Touchscreen not working correctly after a Windows 8.1 update. Here is a link to a document on troubleshooting the Touchscreen.
    Here is a fix I found from Microsoft.
    The touchscreen shouldn’t need recalibration, but if you or another user has recalibrated it, it may affect the performance of the touchscreen.
    Here’s how to check or restore the factory default calibration using a keyboard or mouse:
    Press the Windows logo key Type Control Panel, then use the arrow keys to highlight Control Panel, and press Enter.
    In Control Panel, use the arrow keys to highlight Hardware and Sound and press Enter.
    Under Tablet PC Settings use the arrow keys to highlight Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input, and press Enter.
    Use the Tab key to select the Reset button, and press Enter.
    If the Reset button is grayed out, your Surface touch calibration is still at factory settings and nothing further required.
    Use the Tab key to select Yes, press Enter, and then follow the instructions on the screen.
    Hope this works for you.
    Thanks.

  • AE video effects vs. PP video effect-CS4

    Can someone tell me authoritatively if the AE video effects as a whole are superior to PP? I'm thinking the answer has to be yes, but what about color correction for 720p footage for subjects [faces]?
    If you believe AE is superior, what is your opinion about Auto Color/Contrast/Levels, especially vs. PP Fast Color Corrector/Levels/Auto Color, etc.? I'm trying to avoid major expenditures on Magic Bullet products since my projects are only standard studio interviews and do not call for anything high caliber.
    Thank you for your feedback.

    Hi Rick.
    I really appreciate the link to the free Colorista. I didn't know they had a free version. I'm looking forward to trying it, hopefully later today.
    In the meantime, you were very gracious in asking for a screen shot. I'm giving you two, both raw footage shot on an Panasonic HVX-200p at 720p60. The first is what I'd consider shot with good lighting and the second, well, speaks for itself.
    As you noted, this is an interview destined for a DVD curriculum (not a movie). I have to chroma key a background in AE anyway, so I was thinking that AE would be the best place to do this. Todd seemed to suggest in this thread that the AE & PP color correction tools are identical or at least work identically (the settings are the same), and that PP was in fact better for "quick color correction to an entire image", which is what I am looking to do since the whole thing was shot poorly with the key light too far away. I did do a quick test in AE using AutoColor and adjusted the White Clip down to .05% and got a pretty good result except that the inner eye sockets still looked very dark. Colorista may change the discussion entirely, however.
    I deeply appreciate your willingess to help so actively.

    Update: Just tried Colorista Free. The Highlight Control alone worked wonders. Looking forward to learning how to use it more. A very superior product.
    Highlight adjusted only in Colorista Free, applied directly to the clip:

  • So... Photoshop CS6 is that revolutionary?

    Hi folks.
    I'm a user of Photoshop since the 5.5 version and I do any kind of retouching and photompontages, but I've specialized myself in high-end beauty retouching. I work with thousand of layers, so I'm well equiped with enough RAM and BIG TIFF Files, at 16 bit per channel.
    I find this new version of Photoshop quite good, however, this version should been done this way when CS4 was released. I think most people knows about the GPU scandal when the CS4 came out. So now, Photoshop CS6 uses the GPU to compute many tasks and the CPU much more smoothly than the other versions. Finally, Photoshop is using most of the hardware from computers and not just a very small percent, if did it in the older versions. I can see that finally, PSCS6 uses more than 1 or 2 CPU cores for most of it functions, and a part of the VRAM and GPU as well.
    All the tools in the image/adjustment panel runs VERY smooth in real time when moving the sliders, without ANY delay. That's because PSCS6 finally is using the GPU, as promised with the CS4 version . Also, filters like the Liquify Filter and the Blur/Lens Blur filter, which only used one CPU core, finally use more cores/GPU. Not exactly 8 cores, as my Mac have, but quite almost. Now the Blur/Lens Filter is useful, otherwise, it was totally useless due the heavy processing for just one core.
    I have been applying many heavy filters/adjustments to 21mp TIFF files of 16 bpc in order to check how good and responsive is the real time adjustments in Photoshop and the work perfect except for the Shadows & Highlights control. Even in smaller images has some kind of delay and that should be fixed. As well, some of the filters, like the Gaussian Blur, are not in realtime, as we EXPECT
    Also, few of the Adjustment Layers, such as the Solid Color, Gradient, Pattern and Gradient Map; don't work in Real Time. So again, you have to go guessing how the image will look if you're applying some of those useful tools.
    For the other hand, and from my experience in the field of high-end beauty, we use a lot the D&B technique to improve the overall light of the picture and the smoothness of the skin. And this is done pixel by pixel, or, at pixel level (3200% of zoom, that means, the maximum allowed by Photoshop). This means that we have to zoom in and out several times from 3200% to 100% (and to what resolution fit on your screen) in order to corroborate that our shading/pixel by pixel work is going good because, it happens that working at pixel level you miss how the whole image looks and that leads from fake looking to bad shading.
    There are 2 ways to not to zoom in and out all the time:
    1. Making the navigator as big as needed, so you can compare what you do at pixel level on the image with how the whole image looks in the navigator.
    2. Creating a new window for the same image (Window/Arrange/New Window For [...]).
    Unfortunately, none of these 2 ways work in real time. So you don't have ANY FEEDBACK, after you release the mouse/digital pen, making those 2 ways, completely useless and nosense.
    I have wrote an e-mail to the Adobe Labs with many improvements in there that have been ignored, except for the Liquify, the Lens Blur and the real time in the adjustments layers.
    One of the new tools I suggested in that e-mail, was allowing brushes acting like loupes. So when you D&B, you keep the image at, let say, 100% of zoom while the area where you're working on, is magnified to X%. This would be really useful if you have to work in detail. This is not just a personal point of view, but a professional one.
    So, overall... PSCS6 is a very good mirage of what it should be, but nothing out of the box, really. How can it be called a "new version" when it comes to just performance improvements... This should be a CS5 update, nothing more .
    I hope the Adobe Team get serious with this and stop bragging and scamming neophytes with just... improvements...
    س

    PECourtejoie, no exactly because it wasn't in my "want" list, as you say (you're the second who says that), but because these tools already came with CS5. It's because of the repetition of tools I'm complaining, not for anything else. Please, re-read what I have written:
    "I'm not judging the usefulness of these new tools, nor the improvements to the whole program. I think I was clear from the beginning of this post, as the title says, that CS6 isn't any revolutionary, but mostly, a rearrangement of the parts, which also involves the better performance of the whole program.
    Most of the "new features" from CS5 were also in CS4 (or they've been improved/optimized)... I would accept the "cars analogy" if we were comparing Photoshop 1 with CS6, but it seems we have quite different views about what's something new and what's something apparently new".
    Thanks for the link for suggestions, I already posted there long time ago.
    Noel Carboni:
    I test the beta while working on my own photographs and on clients photographs.
    1. So do I, Noel, but that's because the User Interface hasn't changed so much and not because of new tools (that you can chose to use or not).
    2. I do as well. I process around 1000 images per month in my work, and speeding up the workfow is my main priority.
    3. Yes, I have noticed the auto-save recovery the first time Photoshop CS6 crashed, which was yesterday.
    The main point is that you should discern how relevant are the changes, not if you feel nice with Photoshop CS6, or if you're a fan of Adobe. If we're doing an analisys about something, we have to be logical.

    I agree with you on that one, but the content aware does a very nice job in certain things. Of course, a high-end editing requires more manual job than just automated stuff, but it's a nice addtion for low-end editing or simplier things. For example, I do landscape photography and weddings, and for removing electricity poles from a landscape, or probably, a bush that ruined the composition, or maybe you need a rock a bit more to the left; the content aware comes pretty handy for that. It's something that you can do manually, not doubts about that because I use to do it that way when content aware doesn't match the textures and lines very well, but for simpler things (like patterned/random stuff backgrounds) it works very nice, also for removing hotspots in a cloudy sky works realy good. The same the content aware scaling if you want to change the aspect ratio of the image from let say, 3:2 to 16:9 without cropping down the image (or distorting its prpportions), you can achieve flawless results. However, these tools where already done in CS4 with, of course, much less performance.

    I would also love that feature become real time because, for every type of detailed work, you need to have feedback about how looks the image in its full extent while working in the details. I have emailed few ideas to Adobe long time ago, but just a couple of times because they have their own criteria of what should be done for the next versions, even if this idea is great for detailed work, I think it's not very well known by most users, so they just don't ask for it.
    I wonder, for example, how a filter such as Render/Lens Flare still working the same than in Photoshop 5.5 (not CS). It's not a filter I use, in fact, I don't use most of the filters, but there are many filters that have not been updated at all. I think we would agree that's just a marketing strategy. Probably, in PSCS8 we will see that the render/Lens Flare will work on a transparent layer instead of having to create a 50% gray layer set to overlay in order to avoid placing the lens flare on a layer with actived pixels and I will came here saying that CS8 wasn't any revolutionary I hope not, honestly.
    Of course, if we compare CS3 with CS6 we can see stunning changes, but from an objective point of view, from CS4 to CS6 there are not new things, mostly improvements. It's a fact that everybody can probe thorugh an objective analisys. Which is the point of this topic.

  • Eye drop tool for white balance

    It has been requested an eye drop tool to correct white balance issues in color correction for a long time. Is there any news on this? Will it be a new feature in upcoming updates?
    If not... does anyone know a plugin that will do the same thing?
    Short description:
    I want to be able to select which colors are supposed to be white with an eye drop tool during color correction. This feature was available in earlier FCPs like 6 and 7. It saves tons of hours being able to auto adjust the whitebalance in post, rather than trying to match the correct color balance - dragging up and down these color circles, and then matching the color settings throughout the whole project.

    The Color Corrector in FCPX is a misnomer. The color board is more about grading - not correcting.
    If you can tell how the color is casting (or read the scopes) then the Color board is easy: line up the global control over the color and drag it downward (that will "subtract" the offending cast from the image.)  Or use the shadows, midtones, and highlights controls individually for those ranges.
    [But I find scopes difficult to use quickly, so:]
    You can also use *any* of the effects, titles, or generators that have any color parameter selection (or gradient!) as an eyedropper in a pinch. Click on the swatch for the color parameter and from the pop up dialog (color picker), use the Magnifier (top left corner) and choose any pixel on the canvas (or anywhere else for that matter.) That will give you clear indication which primary elements are "too heavy" (red, green, blue -- or any two with greater value than the minimum) Using the HSB sliders mode (second icon and last on the dropdown) will give you the degree angle (which is what the color board uses) of the hue cast and the Saturation value will give you an indication of the "magnitude" of the cast. Move the appropriate control in the color board to the Hue degree and subtract the % shown by saturation -- and you're "white balanced" (I should say: neutral.) [PS, if you're not going to be using the effect, etc -- simply disable it by clicking on the blue rectangle -- you'll still be able to use the color picker -- and whatever the effect is won't interfere with your color edits.]
    If you have Motion, you can build an "eyedropper" quickly by drawing a rectangle, setting the fill opacity to 0 and publishing its fill color -- it can be an effect, a title or most easily: a generator. Titles and generators are most easily dragged around the storyline and don't become "part of" a clip.  If you don't have Motion, you can download one here: http://sight-creations.com/fxexchange/eyeDropperAssist.zip (a generator.)

  • Vignette in lightroom 5 results in gradient lines

    When using the post crop vignette all my images have bad lines/gradient marks.
    I was using the same camera on my previous laptop and had no problem.
    My camera is a Pentax K5 ii shooting in RAW(DNG) sRGB at full 16mp.
    My Laptop is an ASUS N550JK i7, with 2gb dedicated graphics card and 16GB RAM.
    I can't understand what is going wrong but saving a RAW photos with vignette results in a 7mb photo that may aswel be a 600kb one.
    please help.

    I see very little banding in either of the DNGs and even less when I apply my own adjustments. I believe there are a couple of issues at work here.
    The Asus N550JK laptop appears to use an LG LP156Wf4 panel:
    Asus N550JK-CN109H Notebook Review - NotebookCheck.net Reviews
    Issue 1: This panel is only 6bits/color (262,144 colors) as described on Page 4 of the below datasheet. Even with a standard sRGB gamut gradient banding is going to be more visible.
    http://www.datadisplay-group.com/fileadmin/pdf/produkte/Displays/LG/LP156WF4-SLBA_Datashee t.PDF
    Issue 2: The OP's Basic panel settings used are exacerbating the banding because the Highlights slider is set positive (+38), which is incorrect usage of the Highlights control for this image. In addition the 'As Shot' White Balance setting is incorrect (7350, +45).
    Here are the settings I used. Try these settings and see if it helps to reduce the banding.
    On my display there is ZERO banding visible with the above settings and Post-Crop Vignette of -100 Amount. BTW- My HP 2509m display is also a 6bit/color panel, but it uses Frame Rate Control (FRC) to achieve 8bit/color depth (16.7M colors). "Each pixel is divided into Red, Green and Blue sub-pixels or dots which are arranged in vertical stripes. Gray scale or the brightness of the sub-pixel color is determined with a 8-bit gray scale signal for each dot, thus, presenting a palette of more than 16,7M colors with Advanced-FRC (Frame Rate Control)."
    It appears the LG LP156Wf4 panel in your Asus laptop does not incorporate FRC and is probably better suited for gaming. You can use an external monitor to overcome this issue.

  • Default device type configuration of controlfile autobackup ?

    1. configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to 'E:\oracle\oradata\oid\bk\%F';
    2. backup current controlfile;
    rman first use default device type ORA_DISK_1 and backup the file at "E:\ORACLE\ORA92\DATABASE\0AEU5OQL_1_1" (windows 2000)
    then backup file at "E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OID\BK\C-804947643-20030807-00"
    when i backup database , rman can backup the controlfile at "E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\OID\BK\"
    when i backup controlfile manully , why rman first backup it at the default device ??
    thanks:)

    One more cogent point for auto backup on will always get automized backup whenever you made any physical structural change in yours database ,whenver you make any physical structural changes in yours database it goes to be highlight in control file,auto backup on will take this new highlighted control file backup at the spot,needn't to take control file backup after any structural changes It will be backed up itself in yours FRA (Flash recovery area).

  • What does gamma set to 10 mean? - default gamma is usually 2.2

    Premiere Pro default gamma is set to 10.  It can range from 1 to 28.  Is the default of 10 really a gamma factor of 2.2?  And how can we determine the actual gamma correction using Adobe's 1-28 scale?

    Ah, I see.  I never knew it was there ;-(
    However, if you study the waveform monitor when you apply it, and before you've made an adjustment, you'll see that it takes the whites down to legal levels - under 100 IRE.  It probably does the same (in reverse) to crushed blacks.
    Much better tools for luma correction are pedestal/ lift gamma/midtones and gain/highlights control in either RGB Correction or Luma Corrector.
    The 2.2 gamma you talk about is monitor "brightness", to simplify, and affects how an image appears on your local monitor(s).  Gamma in video correction affects the luma component of the source material itself, no matter what your monitor gamma is set to.

  • Default items on the Inspectors Panel

    Aperture includes: Exposure, Levels, and White Balance as the default items that show up in the Adjustments section of the Inspectors Panel.
    I would like it if "Highlights and Shadows" was also in the Inspectors Panel when it launches ... it seems like there should be (and probably is) as setting somewhere when I can tell it what to display, I just have not found such a setting yet.
    Anyone have a clue where to find such a config setting?
    Thanks,

    No one else has found the setting just yet. About the closest is are shortcuts for brining up the other adjustments:
    Control-H - shadow/highlight
    Control -S - sharpen
    Control-M - monochrome mixer
    Control-N - noise reduction

  • Order of Exposure sliders

    Lr4 seems good so far. Impressed but there are some thing that don't seem to make sense for me like the order of the exposure sliders. Why is it that they are:
    Highlights
    Shadows
    Whites
    Blacks?
    It should be:
    Whites
    Highlights
    Shadows
    Blacks
    Doesn't it make more sense?
    Also, Noise in the adjustment brush should be labelled as Noise Reduction. Leaving it as only 'Noise', when you increase the slider to a + value you expect it to increase noise, not reduce it.

    Firillu wrote:
    The order they are in do not aid worflow whatsoever, they are just put in an illogical order and not in the histigram's conventionional order. Why design a bad interface and we have to get used to it?
    There's one thing I don't think has been said yet and I think it's the key to the whole thing. The slider order is logical, in fact it is extremely logical and intuitive...once you get around to its perspective.
    In PV2010, we taught ourselves to work from the outside in. Set the end clipping points, then work within it. I say "we taught ourselves" because I don't think it was naturally intuitive. We all know lot of people weren't clear on Fill Light vs Blacks, or Exposure vs Brightness.
    In PV2012, the Develop controls work the opposite way: Not from the endpoints in, but from the midtone out.
    Exposure first: Overall range and midtone, in other words, setting the center. This is why Brightness disappeared.
    Contrast: Your basic S curve rotating, again, around the center.
    Highlights: The upper end.
    Shadows: The lower end. Think of Highlights and Shadows as a pair, rotating, once again, around the center. A refinement of Contrast.
    Because of the new highlight control, in many images the clipping may already be well controlled at this point. But if they still are not, then...
    Whites: Extreme highlight clipping, or white point.
    Blacks: Extreme shadow clipping, or black point. Again, think of these last two as a pair, pivoting...wait for it...around the center. A refinement of Highlights and Shadows.
    I'm not sure if that's the official explanation but that's how I see it, anyway. A series of concentric corrections starting from the midtone out. If you accept that concept, the new controls become very intuitive.
    That is also why having them in "histogram order" doesn't make a lot of sense, nor does setting a preference to rearrange the sliders. The current order of the sliders is what best represents the way the develop controls are designed to be used. It isn't just because it's top down, or because "you should." It's top down because the order resolves the contrast in each of the main tonal ranges moving progressively out from the midtone.
    If you see how the histogram gets highlighted as you move down the sliders, that's the order: from the center out. That's how it makes sense.

  • Clipping indicator wont turn off

    Okay, so I recently updated to ACR 6.7.
    Since then everytime I open an image there are clipping indicators that won't turn off.
    I know about the usual highlight and shadow indicators (pressing "o" and "u" respectively) and when i turn these on the other stuff disappears but if I turn these off then I get what I can only describe as less dramatic clipping indicators i.e. they are not just red but varying shades of purple and green.
    Any ideas what these are? Will try post some screenshots if needed.

    Had the opportunity to delve into the highlight clipping issue, and found another interesting anomoly. With ACR set to 100% to eliminate any display issues you can see in the first image the highlight clipping indicator with all the controls set to zero; which is what I would expect to see, and the highlights while hot, not too hot and moving the highlight control to the left as seen in the second image, the highligh clipping indicator is off with the highlight control set at -45 again with all the other controls set to zero
    The second image shows no highlight clipping...
    Now still reducing the highlight contol to -85 with all the other controls set to zero; and guess what? The highlight clipping indicator turned back on, not expected behavior.
    So while we have an anomoly with the indicator, do we also have a problem with the highlight control itself?
    I checked with the color picker and the highlight values with the control set at -45 showed R=254 G=254 B=254 not quite pure white, but still a blown highlight, but with the control set at -85 the RGB values increased to R=255 G=255 and B=255 which is pure white. At -45 there were some values lower than 254 but those increased to pure white wheras I would have thought they would have reduced in value as you further move the highlight control to the left
    Not sure if this will help Eric and team, but a few more datapoints.....
