Raw Beginner need help with Adobe Photoshop CS2

I am reading Photoshop CS2 for digital photographers by Scott Kelby. I am looking at pg 55 if any one has this book and would like to visually see what I am about to describe. I own Adobe Photoshop CS2 software. After bringing up Adobe bride RAW on my PC, I then see all the settings, Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation.. Located directly above all of these settings is Auto and Default which you can click on and adjust all settings at the same time. If you don't like what you see you click on Default to go back to the original, you can then make your adjustments individually. In my CS2 book there is an Auto box you can check or un-check beside each setting, Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, and Contrast. My question is how do I get the Auto box beside each setting so I can simply put a check in that box and preview changes individually instead of the Auto and Default on top which changes every setting at the same time? I hope this make since to you, if not I will try to explain again.

Thank you Ramon for your help. I will just be happy with what I have, which works fine but I thought it might be better for me to have the individual Auto check box for each setting. Thank you for the tip to double-click the sliders to reset it to default, it works in CS2 also:) Actually this gives me more control and works out great now that I think about it. I am sure there are more handy little tips I should know about but don't because I am a beginner in learning RAW. Hopefully I'll stumble across a book or some thing over the internet that will help me with my learning curve.

  • Need Help With Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0

    I have and use Adobe Acrobat and three versions of Adobe Photoshop Elements (2, 5 and 7). I use version 2 frequently as I'm more familiar with it and it's simpler to use for what I need to do. All was fine until recently when my computer was installed with Windows 8. Now I can't save photo edits from Version 2.0...... it aborts each time I try. Why is that? It is costing me a lot of wasted time. The other versions that i have don't do that. Need help. Thanks. Stu Snyder.

    The first thing i would try is deleting the Photoshop Elements 2.0 Prefs folder as explained in the post #2 linked to below:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1254224?tstart=30
    Does it happen when trying to save as any file format or just a certain one like jpeg?
    Have you tried saving a photo to a different place like your desktop?

  • Need help with Adobe Premiere Elements 2

    I can drag a large high rez jpeg into timeline. Then when I click to playback....it gets more pixelated. That's a bad beginning. Then, when I go to export it, I've tried several extensions. All look bad during playback on YouTube. This should be pretty simple. High quality jpeg, but is fuzzy in movie. What's going wrong?

    hi Bill -
    ok fine. I have PSDs too. I tried what you said.
    I put a PSD right beside a JPEG in the timeline. I rendered it (which I
    didn't know to do because the instructions don't even mention it. The
    instructions are terrible. Seems it leaves out a lot of info.)
    So, then I click PLAY on my monitor. I see no difference between the PSD
    and the JPEG yet. So, if I want to put this on YouTube, what's the best way
    exactly, without gettting too technical?  It looks like I have the choice
    between Exporting in Mpeg or Quicktime or Windows Media. I think youtube
    likes wmv.

    When you drag the stills to the Timeline, there should be a red line
    above them. Press Enter to Render the Timeline.
     
    Do not know the particulars of PrE 2, but in later versions, you can
    Rt-click on the Program Monitor, and choose Magnification = 100%, rather
    than Fit. You might have to resize your Program Monitor, but check at 100%.
     
    Also remember a few points:
     
    1.) You are looking at a DVD-quality image now, and that was designed
    with low-rez CRT TV's in mind, and NOT hi-rez computer monitors. DVD vs
    hi-rez sources and displays is probably less than what VHS vs DVD was, not
    that long ago.
    2.) You are looking at an emulation, a preview
    3.) Your images have already been compressed to JPEG once, loosing
    quality. That is why I always work in PSD, especially if there has already
    been one JPEG compression, whether in camera, or in the image processing
    stage. I keep JPEG either out of my workflow, or as limited, as is
    possible. Some do not see the quality loss with JPEG compression, but I do,
    and if I can create images that are as good as it gets, I know that my
    clients will be happy.
     
    Good luck,

  • Need help with Adobe Interactive Form Saving

    Hi Gurus,
    I need your help with Adobe Interactive form saving.
    I have written the code in pre-save event to prompt a message when user didn't enter any value before saving. The form data should not be saved upon clicking save (Just prompt the message and exit form the form). Can u please advice me how to do this.
    Regards,
    Srini

    see the link: http://forms.stefcameron.com/2008/04/
    it says:
    preSave: Failed validations will not prevent the form from being saved however Acrobat/Reader will issue a special warning message, after issuing the validation error message, to inform the user that the validations failed. Iu2019m guessing this is because the user may be saving the form to continue filling it at a later time so the save canu2019t be completely prevented.
    regards,
    BJagdishwar.

  • Help With Adobe Photoshop Elements Download and Installation

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements yesterday and was sent the download link. I tried to download the product but one of the 2 files I need would not download and after a few attempts it blocked my access saying there were too many download attempts. Please help.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

  • Help with Adobe Photoshop 5.0 install and upgrade to 7.0

    hello
    I have a photoshop 5.0 (purchased to work with win xp) which i have not installed and used for a long time
    I also have a Photoshop 7.0 win upgrade
    My question is this:
    I want to install my adobe photoshop 5.0 on a windows 7 machine,
    i want to than upgrade to photo shop 7.0
    for photoshop 5.0,
    the cd runs and i get the SETUP MENU, WHERE I AM OFFERED OPTIONS TO INSTALL ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 5.0 AND ADOBE ACROBAT READER V3.01 ETC....
    when i click on the install adobe photoshop 5.0 icon, it doesn't seem to do anything/
    i have also tried to see if anything is happening in task manager - task says running - but nothing seems to be happening
    any ideas why?
    Thank you for your help.

    Are you trying to install 5.0 just so you can install the upgrade to 7.0?
    If that's the case, you need not install 5.0.  Just install 7.0 and when it asks you about what you're upgrading from, insert the disc for 5.0 per its instructions.
    And, you're kind of living in the past...   Even Photoshop 7.0 has very limited capabilities compared to what's shipping today (which is 5 full version releases newer).
    It might be about time to buy a modern version of Photoshop.

  • Need help with Adobe Reader 9

    About three weeks ago my computer started acting crazy so I tried to run updates but I could not get on the internet because the comcast guy told me that it was my firewall. So I disabled my firewall and put on windows firewall and was able to do my updates, but then my antivirus quit working so then I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall but I could not. So I got mad and tried to restore to my last restore point but it would not let me, so when I went to run check disk Windows popped up and said it could not perform this action because the disk was busy.So I then called my friend whorepairs computers and he came over and ran combofix and installed a new antivirus. Combofix said nothing was wrong, but I still can't do system restore or checkdiscso I ran MalwareBytes and it comes up with nothing. So now all of a sudden Windows is telling me that Adobe reader 9 is corrupt and unreadable. Everytime I try to uninstall it, it won't let me. Everytime I try to install a newer version I can't because a pop up comes up and says I alredy have the file, but I can't use it to read my PDFs for class. Adobe reader 9 is messing my computer up and I need help removing it?

    Hello,this is me again. I ran Windows install utility cleanup and basically uninstalled all Adobe files, but when I was done I went into the program files on C drive to delete Adobe file and it gave me an error that said: An unexpected error is preventing the operation.Make a note of this error code,which might be useful if you get additional help to resolve this problem.Error 0x80070091: The directory is not empty. And I still cannot run check disc because it tells me that the disk is busy.
