I want to correct only part of my image. What tools do I use?

CORRECTING PART OF YOUR PHOTO – USING SELECTIONS
When you want to modify or adjust a specific area of a photo or image, you need to make a selection first. Once an area is selected you can use Photoshop image adjustment tools.
This video covers  the process of selecting an area of the photo (the sky only) as well as making  that selected area darker using what's called an "Adjustment layer".
Note: If you need to know more about layers before watching this video you can check out: "What are layers, and Why do I need them?".
Selections are important in Photoshop because they allow you to isolate an area of your image not only to adjust color or tone, but also to copy, cut, scale, or mask (hide) a part of your photo. It's good to get familiar with the kinds of selection tools that exist in Photoshop and when to use them.

Color Correcting Images

After creating the mask and applying adjustment, you can also adjust and change layer mask using selection tools or, the most common way, using brush tools.
To have a more accurate preview of what are you doing, Alt + click on the layer mask thumbnail to show the mask in the image area.
At this point, you will have a layer mask on your screen in large view, so it is easy to fine tune it, but you wont see how that affects your image.
To seean  instant preview how changes on layer mask affects the adjustments, use New Window for (name of your image) from Window > Arrange.
Here is a more detailed tutorial on the topic: New Window for.. Command in Adobe Photoshop.

  • Only Part Of JPEG images Appear when Performing Animation Using JPEG Files

    Hello,
    I have an Applet that loads loops through 4 JPEGS one at a time for animation purposes. However, when running this Applet, unless I make the Width and Height very large, only part of the JPEGS appear.
    The HTML code appears as follows:
    <applet code="Dizzy.class" width=100 height=100>
    </applet>
    If I make the width=1000, and height 1000, then each of the JPEGS appear entirely. However, I don't have this much room on my HTML page to display these images. So, how do I make these images appear within a smaller space on the HTML page??
    I've included the Web Applet code below also:
    import java.awt.*;
    * Dizzy
    * This is a template applet for animation.
    * It illustrates how to animate multiple images with
    * one image per frame.
    public
    class Dizzy extends java.applet.Applet implements Runnable {
    int frame;
    int delay;
    Thread animator;
    Dimension offDimension;
    Image offImage;
    Graphics offGraphics;
    Image frames[];
    * Initialize the applet and compute the delay between frames.
    public void init() {
    String str = getParameter("fps");
    int fps = (str != null) ? Integer.parseInt(str) : 4;
    delay = (fps > 0) ? (1000 / fps) : 100;
    frames = new Image[4];
    for (int i = 1 ; i <= 4 ; i++) {
    //frames[i-1] = getImage(getCodeBase(), "P" + i + ".JPG");
    frames[i-1] = getImage(getCodeBase(), "P" + i + ".JPG");
    * This method is called when the applet becomes visible on
    * the screen. Create a thread and start it.
    public void start() {
    animator = new Thread(this);
    animator.start();
    * This method is called by the thread that was created in
    * the start method. It does the main animation.
    public void run() {
    // Remember the starting time
    long tm = System.currentTimeMillis();
    while (Thread.currentThread() == animator) {
    // Display the next frame of animation.
    repaint();
    // Delay depending on how far we are behind.
    try {
    tm += delay;
    Thread.sleep(Math.max(0, tm - System.currentTimeMillis()));
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
    break;
    // Advance the frame
    frame++;
    * This method is called when the applet is no longer
    * visible. Set the animator variable to null so that the
    * thread will exit before displaying the next frame.
    public void stop() {
    animator = null;
    offImage = null;
    offGraphics = null;
    * Update a frame of animation.
    public void update(Graphics g) {
    Dimension d = getSize();
    // Create the offscreen graphics context
    if ((offGraphics == null)
    || (d.width != offDimension.width)
    || (d.height != offDimension.height)) {
    offDimension = d;
    offImage = createImage(d.width, d.height);
    offGraphics = offImage.getGraphics();
    // Erase the previous image
    offGraphics.setColor(getBackground());
    offGraphics.fillRect(0, 0, d.width, d.height);
    offGraphics.setColor(Color.black);
    // Paint the frame into the image
    paintFrame(offGraphics);
    // Paint the image onto the screen
    g.drawImage(offImage, 0, 0, null);
    * Paint the previous frame (if any).
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
    update(g);
    * Paint a frame of animation.
    public void paintFrame(Graphics g) {
    g.drawImage(frames[frame % 4], 0, 0, null);
    Thanks for your reply,

    Hi,
    It is always good to check basic things... but no, I didn't put anything in the search field .
    I finally found a dummy way to solve the issue (by he way, this also solved it for Garage Band...). Hi did the following:
    1) Copy the folder "/Users/my_login/Music/iTunes/" on some other disc (or simply other location on the same disc)
    2) Quit iTunes if it is opened
    3) Put the original folder of point 1/ above in the trash, empty the trash
    4) Copy the file back from the location you copied it before, to the original location
    5) Open iTunes
    6) Drag and Drop the folder iTunes from "/Users/my_login/Music/iTunes/" on the main iTunes windows. iTunes will re-index the files (it may take a while)
    Quit FCP if it was opened. Open FCP. For me, at that time, all iTunes files were now appearing correctly in FCP.
    Probably that the above procedure can be simplified... in my case, only applying points 5 and 6 didn't solve my issue, but I guess it could solve such issues in other similar cases. Hope this can help other people having similar issues.
    Cheers.

  • A simple percentage? How does one add a percentage to a number? If I have 100 and I want to add 15% and get a total, what formula would I use?

    How does one add a percentage to a number? If I have 100 and I want to add 15% and get a total, what formula would I use?

    You can do something like this:
    D2=B2*(1+C2/100)
    this means in the cell D2 type the following "=B2*(1+C2/100)"... leave out the double quotes

  • Color Correcting Different Parts of an Image Differently

    Newbie question, I know. If possible, just point me to the proper term for this and I'll figure it out from there.
    Talking head interview. Guy's sitting in a chair slightly left of frame center; further left is a dark brown wall; to the right is a large window with white semi-opaque curtains. Cameraman is asleep or brain-dead. The image is completely washed out on the right, where the window is; the right side of his face is acceptably lit by the light from the window; the left side of his face is in near total shadow. Imagine my displeasure.
    If I adjust the black level to about zero and the white level to about 90%, I get a nice green check mark in my excess luma indicator. The white window looks fine. But dude is even darker than he was before. What I need is a way to keep the right side of the image (the window) looking good and ALSO lighten up the left and center (the left side of his face and his dark suit (what color I can't even tell, it's so dark).
    Is there a way to do this? Not so concerned about colors per se; more about dark and light. The limit effect doesn't seem to be what I want.
    Thanks.
    Giraut

    Thanks, Randy. That's ingenious, but it doesn't seem to work very well, since the finished image looks like Frankenstein's monster, with half the guy's face looking one way and the other half another way. But ingenious.
    I don't mind using the limit effect if that is the best way to deal with my little problem. Just trying to get a consensus on what to do, after I put a contract out on this shooter.
    Thanks.

  • Only part of my character style will apply when used in a numbering format.

    I have created a NOTE: format. I used a numbering format to create it, as follows in the Bullets and Number section of the paragraph styles dialog box:
    List Type: Numbers
    Format: None
    Number:   NOTE:^t
    Character Style: My Special Character Style
    And here is my character style:
    Underline: ON
    Weight: 15 pt
    Offset: -4
    Color: Black
    Tint: 20%
    And here is the problem:
    The underline does not show up when the character style is used from within the Bullets and Numbering section of the paragraph style. I can apply the character style to plain old text and t will work fine. But that portion of the character style will not show up when it is referenced from the Bullets and Numbering screen. Interestingly enough, strikethrough has the same problem. The rest of the attributes of my character style (font, color, etc) work fine. But the underline won't apply.
    Any ideas as to why?

    I believe this is a known bug; underlines don't work in this situation, though other text attributes, like bold, color, italic, do.
    Search this forum and Google for terms like underline indesign autonumbered paragraph style to see some past discussions on this topic.

  • Deploy only part of a portal

    Hi
    I have been developing a portal and now I want to deploy only part of the portal, leaving out the work-in-progress "books" and just deploying the finished books.
    How do I do that?
    Thanks
    Jeff

    There is no automated way to do this.
    My recommendation would be to deploy everything - as long as it all compiles. Create a separate .portal file that has only the books, pages and portlets that are complete. Use that as a template to create your desktop.
    Hope this helps.

  • SQLException while selecting only part of XML document

    Hi,
    I'm newbie in oracle XML DB. I'm trying to make an example application but I'm still getting an SQLException while selecting only part of my XML document. I'm using oracle 11g release 1.
    I have following XML document:
    <?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
    <CATALOG>
    <CD>
    <TITLE>Empire Burlesque</TITLE>
    <ARTIST>Bob Dylan</ARTIST>

    public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {
    Connection conn = createConnection();
    OraclePreparedStatement stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement) conn.prepareStatement(SQL_1);
    OracleResultSet orset = (OracleResultSet)stmt.executeQuery();
    while (orset.next()) {
    // get the XMLType
    XMLType poxml = XMLType.createXML(orset.getOPAQUE(1));
    // get the XMLDocument as a string...
    System.out.println(poxml.getStringVal());

    I expect to get such result:

    <ARTIST>Bonnie Tyler</ARTIST>
    any suggestion???
    Thanks

    OBJECT_VALUE in this case refers to an XMLType datatype (fragment due to the use of "extract"). Convert it on "the fly" to a CLOB using getCLOBVal(). Then pick it up in java as a LOB.
