Negative Highlights brighten the image instead of darkening

This is happening in Lightroom 4 final and is possibly related to this issue: Re: Brightening shadows darkens highlightsBrightening shadows darkens highlights.
Start with a fresh image
Set Whites to a highish value, like 55-60 or better 100.
Slowly move the Highlights or Shadows slider to the left
The image gets brighter even it is supposed to get darker. If you move Highlights to the positive side, the image gets darker.
Clarity also has this side effect.

  • Text Filter Brightens the Image

    I'm trying to add some text to my video, which is fine, but then it brightens the image. Is there a way to prevent that?

    Using just the basic text?

    #44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
    Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
    If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
    1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
    2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
    3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
    4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

  • I don't get a fluent blending( the transparant 'checkboard layer' merge with  the images instead) of the images i like to blend

    I like to fluently blend in more images , When i use the gradient tool and hold down the shift key to draw a line , i see no fluent transition of the two images, instead part of image fades into a tranpanrant ' check board' layer instead.
    What goes wrong here?
    Blending Multiple Images in Photoshop | IceflowStudios - YouTube
    I am refering to the tutorial above..

    Yes, I understand it's not always easy to grasp to what goes on on the other side.
    I already tried the above though nothing seemed to work
    I had to use the paint brush as well but  in reverse setting to get the desired result. If I dont use paint brush the checkboard appears  thus it wont merg/ blend the images.
    I don't understand how the guy in the video did this  but with photoshop cc 2014 it seems to work different, apparantly.

  • WDS unattend.xml shutdown the system after installing the image instead of reboot.

    I have a large number of machines that I want to install Windows 7 by using WDS unattend.xml. 
    unattend.xml works absolutely fine but I want WINPE to shutdown the system at the end of image installation and before OOBE. 
    Could you please let me know, how can I automate this process, so Winpe shutdown instead of rebooting after image deployment and before oobe.
    Do I have to put this command x:\windows\system32\wpeutil.exe shutdown somewhere in unattend.xml or elsewhere else. 
    I would appreciate if you could please answer this question.
    Here my unattend.xml it works fine, but reboots the system instead of shutdown.

    WinPE does not even start with above mentioend wpeutil.exe shutdown command, it throws an error and reboots. 
    I would really appreciate if someone can help me figure it out, how can I auto shutdown the system instead of reboot after WDS / WINPE installs the image.
    Thanks in advance

    1. When the error message appears, open up a command window with SHIFT + F11
    2. open the REGEDIT
    3. navigate to hklm\system\setup
    4. change CmdLine to blank (no value entered) (was oobe\windeploy.exe)
    5. change CreateNewQueueOnFirstBoot to 0 (was 1)
    6. change OOBEInProgress to 0 (was 1) (i am guessing that might be AUDITInProgress
    if that was your sysprep choice)
    7. change SetupPhase to 0 (was 4)
    8. change SetupShutdownRequired to 0 (was 1)
    9. change SetupType to 0 (was 2)
    10. change SystemSetupInProgress to 0 (was1)
    11. exit REGEDIT and reboot

  • When I import or drag/drop an image from Finder into Pages, it floats the image instead of keeping it inline with text

    I'm new to Pages and I've searched online for an answer to this question but haven't found anything quite what I need.
    When I import an image from Finder (or drag and drop from Finder) into Pages, the Text Wrap default is "automatic" which seems to be "in front of text." I have to manually click each image and then change it from "Automatic" to "Inline With Text." Is there a way to change the default so it's not "Automatic" but "Inline With Text" to save me these steps for every single image I import?
    (If importing from Media Browser would behave differently, I don't use iPhoto except for Photo Stream so I need to bring them in from where I've saved them in my Finder.)
    Thanks so much for any help!

    Good questions...  I'll have to try and figure out when the problem first happened - I was thinking it was when I upgraded to Safari 5.1.4 but that might not be the case...  I'll try your suggestions to see if any of them eliminate the problem (I have restarted recenlty and that didn't fix it) but I'll try repairing permissions,etc.  Thanks!
    hmmm... Mcbuffy: are you implying that you *don't* get the webloc when dragging an image out of Safari and that this isn't a caused by change to Safari but is a big/conflict in mine?

  • How to change a file name or insert something into it without having to make the mouse hover over it, often opening the image instead?

    Huurah for Apple, most of the time....But in soime matters I miss my old PC. This business of having to hover the mouse over a text is something I just cannot master. Is there a better way??

    I can only guess at what you are asking.
    If you want to rename a file without selecting it, there isn't a way.
    You can just hit Return to get into the Rename mode, but you have to do something to select the file, first.

  • Is it possible to work only on a small part of the image in FCP ?

    Hello,
    I"m working on a DV film that I have made this winter, but on the original film, the image (video) is a lot darker on both top corners (I have some problems with my camera when I use it outside during the winter).
    Is there any way to work only on a part of the image with a filter, instead of working on the whole image. I would like to work on thoses 2 darker spot without touching the rest of the image.
    Thanks

    What you need to do is color correct just those two portions of the image. In a DaVinci and Final Touch this is called using "power windows." Now, you can do this one of two ways.
    1) Layer the same clip on the timeline 3 times. V1, V2 and V3. Same start and end time on all clips. Now, use the 4-point garbage matte on the clips on the upper layers to isolate those sections and then apply the 3-way color corrector to brighten the images.
    2) Colorista by Red Giant Software (www.redgiantsoftware.com) is a $200 color correction filter that allows you to layer color correction and isolate specific areas...using POWER WINDOWS in effect.

  • When moving to Aperture 3, why upgrade the imaging system all at once?

    I have been reading about the library migration issues when upgrading to Aperture 3 and my question is this: what is the advantage, if any, of attempting to migrate all the images instead of just upgrading the database and tackling the images as needed? For example, with a 60 gig library of previously edited images, why would I bother migrating all the images when I could simply do that one image at a time, as needed, to take advantage of the new editing tools? Wouldn't this approach make the upgrade process infinitely smoother and faster?
    Apple says much the same thing is their support article here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3945
    So, for those of you forcing the images update process along with the database upgrade, my question is why take the risk? Yes I know it is supposed to work, and it probably does for most people, but why bother taking that risk for images you have already edited when you can easily do it an image at a time? Am I missing something?

    IDImager allows for Keywords to be written in hierarchical format. This means each individual keyword includes the parent keywords like this: "Others|Import|2009|2009-02-22". The only debate in my mind is about what will be more time consuming, writing and debugging a script to have exiftool extract the keywords and apply them hierarchical, or doing this task manually.
    From playing with the Aperture trial I deducted that making changes to keywords in the keyword HUD applies these changes to all images. Changing the "fred" keyword to "Freddy" will update all images that have the original "fred" keyword applied.
    We'll see. I am certainly not new to programming but have not used AppleScript before. Am still searching for a comprehensive guide and scripting examples that would help in pulling this off. But as I get closer to having the pre-processing outside of Aperture done for all of my images and very little accomplished in terms of the script I am leaning towards manually fixing my keywords.

  • I can´t see the images in my e mails

    When I open my e mails, in the most of them I can´t open the images, instead there is a simbol of question "?" what can I do. Thanks.

    I had the exact same problem a while ago, but in Safari.
    Certain pictures on websites appeared with a questionmark instead of displaying the actual picture, and I was going NUTS because of it.
    However, I found out that this fixed the problem:
    Go to System Prefences and click on Quicktime. Selcet the 'Advanced' tab and then click on the 'MIME settings' button. In the window that shows, make sure there is NO tickmark in the 'Miscellaneous - miscellaneous file formats'.
    Hope this helps

  • Sending .jpeg attachments without embedding the image inline

    Hi,
    I would like to send jpegs as an attachment, but without the image showing up within the email, just available to download.
    tried composing with HTML off but it still renders the image in the email when it arrives at its destination.
    many thanks.
    Colin.

    If you attach the image instead of insert, then it is an attachment. If the recipient is also using Thunderbird and has the option to show attachments inline turned on you have no control over that.
    You cannot insert an image in a plain text message. That is why it is called Plain Text.

  • Menu Buttons Change Image instead of Highlighting?

    Does anyone know how to/or if it's possible to make a DVD menu in Photoshop for Encore where, when the menu button is highlighted it actually changes image instead of making it a solid highlighted colour?
    For example...
    In a DVD i'm making, I have Cartoon images that are the menu buttons. I would like to make it so that when you select it on your dvd player it makes the eyes open up wider and mouths of the characters open up. I have made the duplicate layers and changed one to have the open eyes and mouth and placed it directly ontop of the other and put both layers in the one group with the (+) to allow Encore to recognize it. But all I get is the top layer of the two turning to a top colour. I know that using prefixes like (=1) makes it highlighted and that is why it's highlighting but I don't know what else to suggest. I've looked at the prefixes on the Encore help on this site and tried to work it out but no luck
    I know this is due to my lack of knowledge and really need some help to fix it, or know if it's even possible (I assume tht using such great products as Adobe it will be)
    Thanx

    Welcome to the forum.
    This is easily done by doing dupe Menus for each Button. The Button on the original Menu will be set to Auto-Activate, and be linked to the dupe Menu with the different graphic. I would probably turn OFF Sub-picture Highlights.
    The trick is to do a layout, and also name your Menus (especially the dupes), to reflect exactly what they do. I use Illustrator for my layout, but pencil and paper work well too.
    Note: if run on a computer, the user will need to Dbl-click the Button, as Auto-Activate only works seamlessly from a DVD set-top player.
    There are several other posts on this forum (a few very recent), where I go into much more detail. Also, Jeff Bellune's excellent book, The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, by Focal Press, has excellent, easy to follow steps for doing this. Though written for EncoreDVD 2.0, 100% of the book will apply to CS3 & CS4.
    Good luck,

  • I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines.  Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?

    I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines.  Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?  Help!

    If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
    If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.

  • How do i change the file preview image for mp4 files?  I replaced the image but it doesnt show in my dock, instead it shows the first still of a movie

    the image shows the film the hangover as an example. the movie poster is visible in finder, but reverts to a default movie still from the dock. this only seems to occur for mp4 files.

    its nothing to do with itunes, its movies form the internet. i got the file preview by taking an image off the internet, pressing command c and pasting it on top of the small icon in the get info section

  • Is it possible to get the image from the i pad when mirroring via Apple TV to fill the screen instead of appearing as a screen within a screen?

    When mirroring, is it possible to get the image from the ipad to fill the screen on the TV instead of appearing as a screen within a screen?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, the iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3, a TV has an aspect ratio of 16:9, to fit one into the other is impossible without distorting the picture. If your TV has a zoom feature, you may be able to use this to fill the screen a little more to your liking, but this will result in cropping top and bottom.
