"Lassooing" or isolating a part of a photo for editing

Is there a tool in Aperture where you can isolate or lassoo one section of the photo and edit only on that part?
More specifically, while shooting football or baseball I often have to isolate dark faces and / or shadows on faces, and lighten only them, and not bleaching out white uniforms at the same time.
Thanks

I've been asking for this since v.1.0. In wedding photography we often need to light up faces. If I could do this in Aperture as well as adding a vignette I could adjust 95% of a wedding album with no round trips to photoshop.
Use the Aperture Feedback web and hopefully we'll see it soon.

LightZone can do this right now but I prefer photoshop as external editor so doesn't really fit in my workflow.

    I've moved to photos from iphoto and for a while all was good. And quite exciting. My entire 15k photos have migrated and are available on all my devices. 
    Suddenly, I get this warning when I select or try to edit a photo: Cant Download Photo: An error occurred while downloading a larger version of this photo for editing. Please try again later.
    There is an exclamation  mark and a warning triangle on the picture. I am only able to test on my ibook as my Imac is out of action.
    If I log in to icloud in Safari, I can down load the full sized image no problem.  Any one got any ideas?

    Well stone me, it's started working.  Nothing changed on my side.....  go figure.

  • I never had this problem before but all of a sudden when I go to "edit" a photo the photo turns black.  All the editing functions appear but I cannot see any picture.  When I hit "done" the photo reappears. Why can I no longer see my photo for editing pu

    For years I have had no problems editing photos.  However, for some reason when I go to "edit" my photo the photo turns BLACK/BLANK.  The editing functions appear but I cannot see the photo.  When I select "done" the photo reappears.  Why is the photo disappearing for editing?  Have I hit a command accidentally that is causing this?  Really appreciate someone's assistance.

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run  Option #1, Repair Permissions, followed by Option #4, Rebuild Database, if needed.

  • Can't open photo for editing in Photoshop Elements

    I am trying to edit a photo from my LR 5 Library in PE 11, but when I follow the normal process to do this, PE opens OK but my photo does not appear in PE at all. Is there some bug I don't know about? Or some other solution to fix this problem?

    Go to LR preferences and look under the External Editing tab to ensure you have the editor application selected. A common mistake is to choose the shortcut. If necessary click the choose button again and on Windows navigate to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11
    You need to select PhotoshopElementsEditor
    On Mac OSX you should select the application from the Support Files Folder. Click link below:

  • Sending photos for editing in elements

    How can I transfer photos from lightroom 5 after editing to elements 12 for final editing?

    I think you need to be a member of Elements Village to open attachments at that link. You can do the setup in Lightroom prefs. From the Library go to:
    Edit >> Preferences
    Then select the External Editing tab.
    Click the choose button in the section for Additional External Editor and then navigate to Photoshop Elements Editor application to complete the set up.
    You need to start the round trip from LR as follows and use the save command (Ctrl+S) not save as:
    1) Ctrl+E in the Library to export selected image with develop settings (I choose PSD)
    2) Edit in Photoshop; then Ctrl+S to replace (overwrite) Lightroom export copy
    3) Ctrl+W to close in Photoshop and update Lightroom thumbnail

  • IPhoto 6 solution to missing photos in edit/book view when thumbnail shows

    Hi all, since this seems to be quite wide spread with iPhoto 6 users, I thought I'd make sure that you all get the solution that seems to work for the following:
    Problem: iPhoto 6 does not open your photo for editting but you can still see it's thumbnail, or the photo is not shown in a book but it does show its thumbnail.
    Cause: at this stage, I don't know for certain but I have a feeling it is to do with other applications changing the default opening app for images (perhaps Adobe software).
    Solution:
    1) In Finder, click File, New Smart folder and set the following options:
    Folder 'iPhoto Library', Kind: Images, Size: Greater than 100KB
    2) Then, when search has found all your images, select them all and press the 'Get Info' button.
    3) Select 'Open with' and change it to 'Preview'. This may take a while if you have a lot of photos but let it finish.
    4) Then click 'Change All...' and select yes.
    That's it. Now open iPhoto and it should all work ok.(hopefully!).

    I did that a couple of days ago. But after I while the problem re-appeared. I used Photoshop for editing, so probably that is one of the issues.
    So after several times of trying this solution, I decided to go the hard way and export the corrupted files to the desktops, delete them from iphoto, and re-import them back. That seems to do the job...Frustrating, I know, but so far effective

  • How do I remove the 'seam' after adjusting one part of my photo?

    I am new to PS, using CS6. In the attached picture ,I wanted to adjust the rear of the animal so that it wasn't so dark, she looked like she was disappearing into the dark, but my adjustment has left a 'seam' that I am struggling to fix. I looked up online how todo my initial adjustment that led to this problem,  and this is what I did:
    I used the lassoo and isolated her rear quarters. I created a new brightness/contrast adjustment layer, and pasted in her cut out rump in this layer. I adjusted the brightness to about where I want it, she's no longer disappearing into the dark.
    However as you can see, there's now a definite 'seam' line between her fur on her front end, and the rear end where I adjusted. I tried creating another adjustment layer to adjust again, but this didn't work. I've played around with different tools,some of which won't work on the adjustment layers (I'm new, that's how you learn these things) but I'm stuck - how do I make the lighting on her fur as it recedes look even again? Or, is the way I originally did it not the best way?
    I'd love some instruction on this, I have so many photos where I only want to adjust the lighting in one area, that I'm open for ideas...
    thanks heaps,
    cheers, Metta

    Hi
    Quote:"What good was that supposed to do?"
    I thought this was a forum for newbies. If I knew it wasn't going to do any good, obviously, I wouldn't have tried it!   If the 'stupidity' of newbies tries your patience and has you rolling your eyes, then perhaps best not to let them annoy you with their stupid attempts, and hang out with those who are your equals. At least I am giving this a go. Many people are too scared to even go near PS. Or they give up the first time something goes wrong.  I try to solve my own problems first. I try to learn by creating challenges - such as wanting to adjust the background on my own picture that I want to use for my own purposes rather than having everything spoon-fed to me and being afraid to move  away from whatever a tutorial or book offers. Yes, I follow tutorials, but I also try and expand out from that by looking at my own pictures and what do I want to do with them, and then try and work out how to do it, even if I don't know everything yet. (And clearly I don't, as you were all too quick to remind me). I'm the kind of person who is not afraid to press a key to see what will happen. At least I am trying, and willing to learn.
    As I said in my OP, the reason I chose the course of action that I did was that I was following a tutorial that I found online that instructed me that that was the way to do it; that is, to adjust one part of a photo. And the instruction said to create a new layer with the part you want to adjust cut out, and then adjust it. That part worked. So in that regard, the tutorial instructed me correctly. What I wasn't bargaining on was the 'seam' where the fur transition is not smooth. As for using brushes as you suggested, I tried that, and also the healing tool, but when I tried to use them on that layer, PS advised me that I could not use them on it. I tried a few other things, including selecting the seam area and trying to adjust that (ok, go on, laugh) but that didn't work either, but when the tools weren't working, I was left stuck on what to try next. Clearly I've done something wrong, now please teach me how I may have approached it better.  I hope the screen shot is clear enough. Thank you.

  • When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.

    When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.
    Initially I could find no cause. Then I tried right click - Edit and on the affected images, always get this warning:
    "Image Cannot Be Edited - This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of Iphoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it." and a "Duplicate To Edit" Button is displayed. 
    The external Editor defined for iPhoto is Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    Now, I reckon the MUST be others out there affected by this same apparent Preview bug, yet my searches have not revealed any answers.  Also seems impossible to find a contact number for adobe???
    Thanks

  • How can I move part of one photo into another photo?

    In older versions of Photoshop you could see two or more frames in the work area and cut an paste parts of one photo into another photo by using the "move" tool after the area to be moved was selected. I am having trouble discerning how to achieve this action in CC. Could someone in the forum with this experience give me some steps to take to complete this process? Thanks.

    Thanks Trevor!

  • I cannot get photos placed in InDesign CS5 to show up only as grayscale/black. When a separation is done, part of the photos show up on both parts of the color separation. I've been hunting for a solution for hours.

  • What is the best way to enlarge a part of a photo in lightroom?  How much cn you enlarge it and get

    what is the best way to enlarge a part of a photo in lightroom?  How much cn you enlarge it and get an acceptable result?

    The way I would do it would be to crop the image so that it only displays what you want, then export that image and specify the dimensions. You will have to experiment with different export sizes to determine what would be acceptable for your situation. You might be more forgiving or more demanding than anyone who would venture to answer that question. That's the nice part about digital photography; you can experiment to your heart's content until you get the result you are looking for.

  • As soon as I open a photo with Preview part of the photo turns black

    As soon as I open a photo with Preview, part of the photo turns black.  Just started doing this.

    Complain to the Attorney General about what? There is nothing in your story worth any such complaint. They will tell you the same.
    First you have payment difficulty so credit and the Edge program are not available to you. You have to be credit worthy to get any upgrade, unless you can pay full price for all those new devices.
    Can you?
    You are trying to get new contract plans, but since you are having paying on time and in full issues you will not get extended credit from any carrier.
    What I would do is go and port out to Boost or Virgin Mobile where you pay a reduced cost for each device and get unlimited everything for $40 to $50 a month, it is pre pay so if you don't pay you get cut off.
    Verizon although with the best coverage is also the highest priced.
    Good Luck

  • 1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.

    In preparation for merging two iPhoto libraries with Aperture, I ran "repair database" as suggested above by léonie in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4998390?tstart=0
    After chugging for a while, iPhoto puts up a modal dialog box saying:
    1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.
    Would you like to import them?
    What does this mean?
    - nello

    I re-ran the the repair on a backup of my library and chose "yes" on the import of of the found pictures.
    Unfortunately, the saved pictures included both original and edited images and the import did not re-assemble them into just a single entry.
    For example, I have a two pictures of a portico ceiling, the original (with an ID of P1010071_2) and another (P1010071) which is the same except that iPhoto's "Enhance" Quick Fix has been applied.
    Is there any way rejoin the original  (P1010071_2) and fixed images(P1010071) into a single entry?

  • Cutting out part of a photo and reshaping

    Dear illustartors,
    this may be a photoshop or illustartor question, I'm not sure. Here's what I want to do:
    take part of a photo and cut it out - the shape isn't regular, something of a rough rectangle
    take the cut out shape and reshape it, I need to move two oof the corners in to form a rough trapezium
    I want the contents of the cutout shape (part of a photo) to shrink appropriately within the reshaped object... Imagine the shape is an old door, The shape wouldn't exactly be a rectangle because it's a bit beaten up; having cut it out I want to make the new shape but still see the edges, coners and panels, he new shap will be the same hieght on the left-hand side but reduced on the right-hand side - as if creating perspective.
    Is this possible somehow?
    thank you......................... liz

    Thank you wade I will have a go!
    UPDATE: yes that's good. I created a "sunray" using a line which I transformed to have as many lines as the mesh I used (actualy it had half the number plus 1 for the lower half of the sunray, then repeated the operation fo an identical line on top of the first but wit the ange of transformation = to 360 - the angle of the first line's transformation) and made the line long enough to get the perspective right, this I then used as a guide to move the mesh lines. The only thing I would have liked is to a) lock the verticalsin the mesh so I didn't move them inadvertently and b) if I could have moved the beginning and end point of a mesh horizontal and said now redrawn the line between these two points it would have been quicker. (I was using illustrator)
