Light fringe around dark objects in HDR photo

Hello there,
My first post.
A friend sent me a photo taken with an iphone and processed with Camera+ HDR filter. The very dark areas in the photo [here right around the window frame] have a light fringe around them. I am wondering how to remove the fringe using Photoshop CS4 on a MacBook Pro.
I realize this may have already been answered elsewhere but have been unable to find the posting. For privacy reasons I'll only attach a picture I've taken and processed in the same way.
Just to be clear — the original pre-filtered photo is no longer extant!

Classic HDR artefact, although not seen nearly as much since the bad old days. Actually, CS4 was the bad old days. Photoshop only really became viable for HDR with CC IMO, although it was getting there with CS6. Have a look at Photomatix. It was way better than Photoshop up untill CC 14.2 which lets us process the 32 bit file in Camera RAW. That is now, far and away, the best tool that I am aware of for HDR.

Photo correction: too light and too dark

I have imported ~ 2,000 photos into Lightroom 5.6. The files are PNG format from MS Picture It. Some photos are too light and some are too dark.
I tried synchronizing the metadata thinking this would make the photos more alike. Some are improved, but I still have many that are too light or too dark.
Short of editing each photo, is there an easy way to make the photos more uniform in brightness.
Thanks

Try using Quick Develop in the Library where the adjustments are relative.
For example the inner pair of arrows for highlights or whites adds or subtracts in increments of 5 and the outer arrows in increments of 20. You can see the changes in the history panel by then going into Develop.
So rather than using sync in the Develop module which applies the same absolute setting to every image the changes in quick develop will be relative to the original condition of the photo.
Try experimenting by selecting a batch of thumbnails and applying Quick Develop settings.
Alternatively sort your images into batches using collections where the original lighting is broadly similar. Then select all (Ctrl+A) in each collection and apply the adjustments to each batch, until you get everything broadly similar.

When painting a light over a dark, at low opacity, i am getting an even darker color. How to fix?

I'm using version 1.4, running on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Both when I set the pen pressure to opacity control, and when setting the brush to an overall lower opacity, my light color turns a reddish dark where it overlaps my dark color, almost as though i'm using the burn tool. i havent noticed this problem before, and i've been constistenly using pstouch to paint, since i bought this tablet nearly 3 weeks ago. I'm painting a dark muted orange over a slightly darker, slightly more intense (but still mainly muted) red. It looks almost like a watermark effect. each transparent brushstroke has sort of a fringe around it where it looks as though simulated pigments collect in a concentrated way, creating a dark ring around my slightly less dark brush mark.
This might be related to a color picker problem i have consistently noticed. it seems that the color picker tends to pick darker versions of the colors i sample. this might have something to do with the fact that my brush is usually set up with less than 100% opacity, and maybe, for some reason, the color picker is programmed to compensate for that. In any case, the color sampler doesnt work fully as it should, and this obviously affects my ability to use lowered opacity to blend colors together.
That said, even when i sample a color, then manually lighten it to match the lightness of the sampled color, i still get a burn tool effect when making transitions between my slightly darker and slightly lighter warm mute dark colors, using a color with lowered opacity. the only way to make the lighter color lighter than the darker color, is to simply bring it to full opacity, but then i get no transition between the the colors.
I assume this is a bug that needs to be fixed, but if anyone knows of anything i might be able to do in order to solve this problem, I'd really appreciate it.

Actually, here's a clearer image. The middle stroke is with 20% drawing smoothness, and 100% pressure strength.
The top stroke is 100% both, and the bottom is 100% drawing smoothness with 20% pressure strength.
In all three instances, the dark watercolorish ring persists.

Lightroom can't display HDR photos

I have five photos in light room, I want to make it a HDR photo. When I highlight all five photo, right click merge to HDR in Photoshop. When photoshop is done and I save it. Everything is fine till I try to open the photo. Lightroom and windows gallery can not show the image. Is says the image is corrupt or unsupported.

Hey I'm just copying what Adobe writes in their release notes ;-)
Jeff, I understood that the limit is either 65Kpixels on a side or 512MP. You cannot have an image of 65kpixels*8kpixels for example as that is more than 512MP and you cannot have 70kpixels*7kpixels, even though that would be below the 512MP limit. I could be wrong though and you probably know more about this than I do. You need a superbeefy machine though to be able to work with files like that without paging like nuts and having to be quite patient. The largest stitched images I have made are around 100MP 16 bits and those are quite taxing on my machines (a quad-core macPro with 10gigs is my most beefy one), so I can only shudder at the prospect of 512 MP images.

Solved: InDesign CC: Problems with text in text box: text flows around invisible object

I just upgraded from CS4 to CC. I have two problems with text in some text boxes:
The text seems to flow around invisible object that I cannot find or delete. It's as if there is a photo or other object behind the text box; but when I press COMMAND-a to select all, I don't see any such object.
When I move this text box, the layout of the text within changes. For example, when the box is high on my spread, the text flows correctly within the box; but when I move it down, it flows around that hidden other object. For another example, when the box is low on the page, the text starts at the top of the box; but when I move the text box up, the text starts somewhere in the middle of the box.
I have checked margins of the text box and the paragraph options of the text paragraphs (margins, indents, alignments). They all look OK.
If I modify the text box, checking the box "Ignore text wrap", then the problem goes away; but then the text also will not flow around a real object that I want it to flow around.
Solution:
There were objects in a hidden layer on that one spread. It seems that in CS4 when you "select all" you would also select objects in hidden layers; but in CC it doesn't.

My iphone 5 suddenly wont fully boot...it stuck on the apple logo and goes of after 20 -25 secs and comes on by itself after a minute or two but still stuck on apple logo..also i am able to see a bit of lighting on the dark screen whenever it goes of

my iphone 5 on the ios 7.1.2 suddenly wont fully turn on...it gets stuck on the apple logo and stays like that for approximately to 90 secs then goes blank but I can see a bit of lighting behind the dark screen....it goes off by itself and comes on by itself trying to boot but still gets stuck on the apple logo after the dim light shows....when I connect to iTunes my phone can only be recognised only in recovery mode thus if I force it into recovery mode. My main worry is I don't have a back up of any of my data...on icloud I have just less than 2GB of my data which is as a result of incomplete back up...HOW CAN I GET THIS PHONE WORKING AGAIN WITHOUT LOSING MY DATA...if I can only just recover my data I would really appreciate it as I really need almost everything on it back...if I can only get retrieve my data and lose the phone I wouldn't mind at all....Anybody know how to resolve this??Kind Regards

Anyone have any suggestions? or is everyone else just as clueless as me !

How might I merge 2 photos, and object from one photo cleanly onto a background from another?

I paint from photos, and wish to merge 2 photos together. I now use PS7. I would like to clearly merge an object from one photo onto a background in a 2nd photo. The photomerge options in a trial PS10 do not create the composite I wish, ie, a clean object onto a continuous background.

http://forums.adobe.com/message/4264800#4264800
You need to select the object and place it on to a separate layer and then place the background on a layer bellow it. I created a similar example some time ago. See if the above thread helps.

How do I export HDR photos made on Photoshop CS5 onto a flashdrive so I can use them on a window machine for commercial purposes. Adobe support claims it is a apple problem not theirs. PS the other window machine doesn't have Photoshop cs 5 installed?

Hi, How do I export HDR photos made on a macpro with photoshop cs5 onto a flashdrive so they can be imported correctly into a windows machine that doesn't have photoshop installed on it? Already exported to a HP flashdrive but they do not even show up on a windows machine. Need that capabillity since this is for commercial printing. My wife's mac laptop only shows 3/4 of the picture the rest is grayed out. Adobe support claims it is a Apple problem. Love the finger pointing and hold me blameless atitude on their part. Told them creating a picture should be like gas that can be used in anybody's car, just not their Adobe equipped ferrari. Do I need to convert the file struture so it can be read by the window machine? How would I do that ? Any comments appreciated. Doug

I certainly wouldn't expect to read native PS CS5 files with all features intact and supported on a machine that doesn't have CS5 installed. Try saving the files as flattened (no layers) TIFFs before moving them to the flash drive and trying to open them on the Windoze box.

How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e. winter to sum?

How do I move an object from one photo to another and then change the scene, i.e. winter to summer?

OK.
Open the picture with the new scene. This will be your canvas.
Open the picture with object A, select it with one of the selection tools, go to Edit>copy
Go back to the new scene/canvas, Go to Edit>paste
Repeat for object B
Use the move tool to position A & B, each on its own layer. Use the corner handles of the bounding box to resize, if necessary
You should have 3 layers: Background layer, and the 2 layers with A & B
Note: It's best if the resolution of the 3 picture files is the same value.

How can I put 1 object in a photo in color but the rest in black and white?

I have iPhoto '08, and I have seen many photos that have interesting effects like the one I mentioned before. I would really like to know how I can allow the main object in the photo to remain its natural color, but change the rest of the picture to black/white or sepia.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You mean like this?

This was created by Photoshop. But it's a little over the top for must of what we want to do. Photoshop Elements can do the same as can some of Larry's other suggestions. I've worked with PSE and it's an excellent editor with about 75% of PS's capabilities at about 1/7 the price.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Screen light auto turn dark when I use program/web with background dark in windows 8.1

Hi there,
I used HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 CTO Quad for 3 years.
CPU: Intel core i7-2630QM
GPU: AMD Radeon 6490m
It build in windows 7 and I manual install ( fresh install ) windows 8. It's fine. But when I upgrade to windows 8.1, it have an issue and I really hate it.
When I use "Sublime Text" ( with background is black ), the screen light is become darker. And when I back to ( e.g: a website with background is white ), the screen turn back to lighter.
I tried many ways, included 4 ways here but it's NOT WORK.
NOTE: When I used Option 1 ( upper )
1. Open PC settings, and click/tap on PC and devices on the left side
2. Click/tap on Power and sleep on the left side, and turn on or off Adjust my screen brightness automatically on the right side under Brightness.
==> It's NOT SHOW button "Adjust my screen brightness automatically". It mean: I have NO built in auto brightness sensor.
I think this issue is about AMD driver or Intel Graphic driver.
Is anybody have idea???

i grasp that after updating your system from Windows 8 to 8.1 you are having an issue with the display going dim.
You have tried some steps you located on the web but there was no change.
Windows 8 an 8.1 are not supported Operating Systems for your notebook. This does not mean they will not work only that HP has not tested it and therefore does not supply updated drivers. You would need to check the manufacturer's site for any updated drivers.

I need step by step instructions on how to move an object from one photo to another photo - in Photoshop CC 2014.

How do you move an object in one photo to another photo in Photoshop CC 2014

In the document with the object select the object and use copy (Crtl|CMD+C) then in the other image document use paste (Crtl|CMD+V).
However its not a move its a copy the object is still in the original image. (Crtl|CMD+X) instead of (Crtl|CMD+C) would cut the object out of the first image but leave a hole there that you would need to fill with a replacement to complete a move.

How can i draw a outline around an object in a picture

I am trying to draw around an object in a picture to show the different values and defined edges. Can anyone help?

Use one of the selection tools -- lasso, rectangle marquee or elliptical marquee, for example.

HDR photos not showing in moments gallery and not sharing correctly via iCloud

I have an iPhone 4s with ios 7 and when I take hdr photos that are not showing in my moments collection. They have the thumbnail but not the full image when I select the image and when I go to share them to icloud they don't import into iphoto either. Also when I take square photos in ios7 the photo effects arn't applied when I import them into iphoto. Thanks for any help!

HDR Photo Merge deghosting

When using Lightroom's HDR Photo Merge, is there any way of zooming in to 100%, to view the effect that deghosting is having on the HDR image ?.

ColdForest wrote:
Slightly different issue, but wondered if you might have feedback on a ghosting issue I'm seeing. I thought I'd quickly experiment with HDR merge as a way to remove ghosts as opposed to directly creating an HDR composite. That is, all exposures (I tried the merge with two and also three exposures) were identical (focus, ISO, ap, speed) and I was hoping that the merged result would simply remove the couple obvious ghosts (two people in completely different areas of the frame and then also slightly moving clouds). However, none of the de-ghosting options were able to completely eliminate these ghosts.
If the images are all same exposure (i.e. identical) I'm surprised the LR Merge to HDR didn't fail with an error message. I just tried LR Mege to HDR with three copies of the same file renamed (1, 2, 3) and there was no error message! Clearly it's failing to deghost the "same exposure" image files, but it's not telling you either!
I just tested PS HDR Pro with the three "same exposure" images and got this popup. Unless you assign a different EV to each image the OK button is disabled. LR Merge to HDR is simply playing dumb and goes right ahead and then does nothing!
PS image stacks with layer masks is what you need to deghost these image files. I doubt this can be done fully "automatically." There has to be human intervention to decide what's a ghost and what's not.
