Newbie: Saving combined image adjustments

Hello everyone,
After using the Lightroom betas and loving it, I made the switch to Aperture. I love everything about Aperture except for one thing. I understand how to save a preset for each adjustment; white balance, levels, etc. However, I can't figure out how to make a preset combining all the adjustments I made.
I've searched high and low trying to figure this out. Am I missing something?
Thank you all!

I don't know that it's possible.
However, what you could do would be to use lift and stamp to accomplish this. When you lift from an image, you get all its adjustments. So if you lifted from an image with this entire set of presets, everything you stamped would get them (color temperature, sharpening, levels, etc.).
Something that would work then would be to set up a set of reference images that you could lift from. This is a bit ugly, but it should work. Here's to submitting feedback for a nicer way

  • Saving Image Adjustments

    Hello,
    I am having trouble utilizing image adjustments in Photoshop CS4.  I have multiple images that were taken at different times, under different stage conditions.  I realize that any image adjustment will have differing results because of this, but to speed up production, I would like to save the image adjustments I make to one image so that I can apply those same adjustments to subsequent images.
    I cannot figure out how this is done.  Please let me know if this is possible, or if there are better ways of applying the same brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, and other image adjustments to several images.

    There is a Photoshop forum where this would be best asked and answered.

  • Image adjustments not staying??

    Hi helpers!
    I have come across a strange problem in Photoshop CS4 - I am trying to increase the contrast in some greyscale line drawings, however no matter if I adjust using levels, curves, exposure - it always appears OK as I'm using the slider bars but when I click OK the image returns to it's original state.
    I've tried saving as a PSD, TIFF, JPG, tried saving as CMYK., creating a new layer....
    Never come across this before...any help much appreciated!
    Amanda

    I have been since able to change contrast but only by going into the Window/Adjustments panel which
    does not require an OK click to confirm changes.
    Glad the images have been fixed but still can't understand why I can't keep the changes in my usual Image/Adjustments way of doing things.

  • Help! Saving an image to stream and recreating it on client over network

    Hi,
    I have an application that uses JDK 1.1.8. I am trying to capture the UI screens of this application over network to a client (another Java app running on a PC). The client uses JDK 1.3.0. As AWT image is not serializable, I got code that converts UI screens to int[] and persist to client socket as objectoutputstream.writeObject and read the data on client side using ObjectInputStream.readObject() api. Then I am converting the int[] to an Image. Then saving the image as JPEG file using JPEG encoder codec of JDK 1.3.0.
    I found the image in black and white even though the UI screens are in color. I have the code below. I am sure JPEG encoder part is not doing that. I am missing something when recreating an image. Could be colormodel or the way I create an image on the client side. I am testing this code on a Win XP box with both server and client running on the same machine. In real scenario, the UI runs on an embedded system with pSOS with pretty limited flash space. I am giving below my code.
    I appreciate any help or pointers.
    Thanks

    While testing more, I found that the client side is generating color UI screens if I use JDK 1.3 JVM for running the server (i.e the side that generates the img) without changing single line of code. But if I use JDK 1.1.8 JVM for the server, the client side is generating black and white versions (aka gray toned) of UI screens. So I added code to save int array that I got from PixelGrabber to a text file with 8 ints for each line in hex format. Generated these files on server side with JVM 1.1.8 and JVM 1.3. What I found is that the 1.1.8 pixel grabber is setting R,G,B components to same value where as 1.3 version is setting them to different values thus resulting in colored UI screens. I don't know why.

  • How do I get QT 6.5.2 image adjustments to be retained on iMovie import

    Hi,
    I produced a DVD last year using clips from my digital camera (which always need tint, contrast, brightness, and color adjustments), Quicktime, and iMovie. I sat down this weekend to do the same thing, but discovered, much to my discomfiture, that the image adjustment features are missing in Quicktime Pro 7 (on my Powerbook G4 running Mac OS 10.3.9). Luckily, I'd kept quicktime 6.5.2 because I'd heard that the upgrade would eliminate the features. However when I import a 6.5.2-adjusted clip into iMovie, the image adjustments aren't retained! Do I have to downgrade iMovie too or what? How do I get my image adjustments to stick?
    I've tried making the same adjustments using iMovie, but they don't provide nearly the amount of fine control as in quicktime 6.5.2 and I just end up making it look worse no matter how much I fiddle with it. I event tried counting how many pixels I'm moving the slider over to match the quicktime adjustments and I just can't reproduce the image quality.
    Is there a way I can get this to work without having to buy anything (which I find highly questionable since I used to be able to do this before) and if I MUST buy something, how will I know if I need to buy a new graphics card (as is mentioned on one of the support FAQs)?
    Rob

    That's all well and good, but it's so much more time consuming. I've been trying, unsuccessful, for hours to get the image just right in this one clip using the method you suggest - a process which took me under a minute using the video controls in 6.5.2 - and I can't seem to get it right. I know that iMovie used to respect the adjustments made in the video controls because I have DVDs to prove it that I made a year ago. Using the filter process you suggested has proven to be too time consuming for me. These clips need a lot of adjusting and I often go back and forth between the adjustments to tweak them based on the new image quality. Sure filters give me more options, but it just takes way too long and all I can seem to do is make it worse. I want it to work the way it used to, and as far as I can tell, there are two solutions: downgrade something or upgrade the OS and possibly install a video card. Does anyone know if a downgrade of just iMovie will work or do I need to reinstall my OS (and not update) to restore the previous abilities? Or, if I upgrade the OS, how will I know if I need the aforementioned graphics card? If I upgrade, will it work the way it used to and import into iMove with the image adjustments or will it not work that way anymore at all?
    Thanks,
    Rob

  • How to see all image types when saving an image without selecting "all files"every time

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [[/questions/951766]]</blockquote>
    Hallo, and thank you for reading this.
    I am a person who saves a lot of images online and renames them in different folders in different names like B - 34 or G - 56. I have been working with firefox 10 for quite some time and it had a pretty handy bug (I guess) where I could save an image and firefox would just save the image in it's original type (JPEG,PNG etc) while "save as type" was empty.
    It also always has shown all the image types in the folder where I save the images (except for GIF) and that helpes me quite a lot by saving me the trouble of selecting "all files" every time I save or going to the folder to rename every image.
    Now this seems to be lacking in the newest firefox versions and my question is if I can set firefox to always show me all the image file types when saving an image, instead of only showing JPEG's when I try to save a JPEG.
    Thank you for your time.

    I suspect this is a Windows problem. I am surmising the FilePicker uses the Operating System or Desktop facilities. Does Windows 7 offer any other file categories like ''images'' ?
    I do not normally use Windows 7, but may the option depend upon the directory being an indexed one, I ask after finding this thread ''Bring File types tab back'' [http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/819]
    This question is a duplicate of [/questions/951764]
    Normally I would lock the duplicate question, but in this instance I will leave it open as it is unanswered and someone may give a better reply.

  • Image Adjustments won't stay on

         Hey everybody, I'm Steven! I'm working on a sci-fi mural spacescape for my art class, and I'm having a bit of difficulty in the star scape area. See, whenever I do anything in the "Image > Adjustments" tab at the top of Photoshop, the preview on my page makes it look just how I want it, but after I click OK, or Apply, it either goes right back to how it was before I did the adjustment, or it does it to a degree, it just goes back halfway.
    For instance, when I click "add noise", then go to Image > Adjustments > Levels to thin the noise out to resemble stars, as a base layer to my starscape, and get it perfect, with the right amount of contrast and everything, when I click OK, it just goes back to big ugly noise. Now, I've added adjustment layers, but those effect everything under them, and I kind of need this to be specific. I've tried changing my mode to 32, 16 and 8 bit, as well as from RGB to CYMK and others. If anyone could help me out, I'd be really grateful! Thanks!
    (P.S. I'm using CS4, if that helps)
    Steven.

       Well, I did have one file that looked similar to it in the directory I was opening it from, so to be safe, I moved it and tried again, but it didn't work. The thing is, when I do Image > Adjustments, the preview on my actual canvas looks good, but when I click OK to lock it in, it just goes back to the way it was before, or kinda how I wanted it, but only a fraction, like half power. And when I save it, it also won't stay on. It will keep effect if I add an adjustments layer, and give me the desired effect, but it affects all the layers below it, not just the one I want, and it will revert to what it was before the effect if I save it as anything but a .PSD, for instance a .PNG, it will go back to white noise, not stars, just like Image > Adjustments. I did both Save and Save As, but they both had the same outcome. Haha, it seems I've really gotten myself in a pickle. Thanks for helping me out -
    -Steven

  • Image adjustments variables is missing in my PS CS5 Extended

    Hi,
    I'm working with PS CS5 extended, and I'm missing the option image>adjustments>variables.
    According to the information on the internet it should be there at the very same place that I'm used to finding it, but it seems to be missing at my version (12.0.4).
    Can anybody tell me what is going on here?

    So were can I find my variations option?

  • When saving an image in PS CS 6, and going back to Lightroom 5. The original image and the edited image are at the end of the line up.

    I'm using a Mac, Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS 6. I've started having an issue with the line up in Lightroom 5 after saving an image from PS CS 6. For some reason when I save the edited image form CS 6 it's taking the edited image and the original image and putting it at the end of the line up in Lightroom. If I take the edited image and move it to the right of the original it will put both of them back in the line up where they should be. How do I fix this. I've been looking in the menu for some kind of setting  with no luck.

  • Is there a substitute tool path for "Image Adjustments Variations-" in Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition?

    Is there a substitute tool path for "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" in Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition that brings similar results?  I was used to using Image>Adjustments>Variations… in Photoshop CS4 Standard Standard Addition quite often. I upgraded to Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition to get the 64bit memory architecture compatibility on my Macbook Pro, booted in Mountain Lion.  I see now that Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition has the "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" tool path removed.
    I don't have Photoshop CS6 Extended, which has the all new Image>Adjustments>Variations… tool path.  I only have Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition so, if anyone can share with me a substitute tool set that can give me similar results to using the old "Image>Adjustments>Variations…,"  I would appreciate it.

    Thanks, R_Kelly.
    You helped me to start exploring other tools in the Image>Adjustments Menu.  "Image>Adjustments>Color Balance…" seemed to help me get the results that "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" used to deliver.  "Image>Adjustments>Photo Filter>Warming Filter (85)" also got me to where I wanted to be in desired adjustments.  I used to get the results I wanted in brightness, contrast, mid-tone adjustment, and color balance buy using just Curves, Variations, and Hue/Saturation.  Now I'll use "Color Balance…" and "Photo Filter>Warming Filter (85)" along with Curves, and Hue/Saturation.  I also have learned to use "Levels" some more to get the same effect as Adjustments>Variations…"  I always thought there were more technically precise adjustment tools to get the same effect as "Image>Adjustments>Variations…"  Adobe dropping Variations in Photoshop CS6 Mac version forced me to learn better image adjustment approaches for pre press color correction and image warming.  I feel confident now to make Photoshop CS6 my prime-time work tool and move the Photoshop CS4 launch icon off of my Mac OS app Dock.  Thanks again, R_Kelly.

    Has anyone else had this problem, and/or can anyone suggest a fix?  Thanks in advance

    Not seeing that here. 10.9.2 and 3.5.1
    Does it happen with all images? If so create a new library import an image into it and see if the problem still happens.
    If it happens with a new library try a doing it as a different user. Either use the Guest account or make a new user, make a nee library, import an image and try it.
    If it happens with just the one library try a library repair. If it happens with multiple libraries but just in the one user account try moving the Aperture preference file out.
    If it happens with he new user also try reinstalling Aperture.
    See Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics for direction on doing a repair or moving the preference file.
