Showing highlight areas in Curves other than with mouse

I want to set the highlight and shadow sliders in Curves but am finding the mouse a pain to use because it is not sensitive enough. When trying to set the shadow slider to just under the darkest region (no clipping), I typically do this:
1. Option-Click the black slider and drag it to the right until the shadow detail appears.
2. Back off until it disappears.
Trying to do that with a mouse is fiddly, not helped by the hysteresis in the system. Say the first shadow detail appears at level 15. When you reverse and go to 14, the shadow detail increases. That is another pain.
Anyway, I'd like a method that uses the arrow keys to show me the shadow and highlight areas.
Am I in luck?

If your just using a curves adjustment, not a curves adjustment layer, then
you can check the Show Clipping box, click on either the highlight or shadows
slider, highlight the numbers in the box and use the arrow keys.
With the new style adjustment layer panel, that doesn't seem possible.
What you could do is record an action making a new curves adjustment layer
and make sure the show dialog is on.
This will get you the old style curves adjustment layer dialog which works like the
regular curves dialog as above.

  • After much consideration, today I decided to join Adobe Photoshop CC only to discover it is not available to me as my laptop has Windows Vista.  What are my options other than having to buy a new computer or an old version like Ps5 or 6?

    1-Do some more reading about a Windows "upgrade version" which, according to my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... it upgrades over what you have, without disturbing installed programs... at least that is what happened the ONE time I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% assurance it will work that way with your computer... search link for all things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
    2-Depending on the hardware you have, you may not be able to run CC programs well, if at all
    3-CS6 is 3+ years old and is the ONLY non-CC version still being sold... unless you can find a "legal" CS5 somewhere

  • I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

    I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck. Is anyone else having this problem please?

    I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes.  Now it's dad and husband, every time!  Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails. 
    And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered".  So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point.  I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions.  (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck.  I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

  • Accumulated text within the attempted selection area is rotated other than horizontal or vertical

    I'm trying to see the properties of the font and am getting an error message.  "Accumulated text within the attempted selection area is rotated other than horizontal or vertical.  TouchUp cannot create a text selection."  How can I undo this?

    Hi Elisa0505,
    This problem can be solved by the following ways:
    1) Try opening the Content Navigation pane (left-hand side), in the pane fly-out turn on "Find Content fromSelection", select the text in question, and then delete/edit the text using the Content Pane instead of inside the Document Pane.
    2) Create a blank PDF that has the same dimensions as the original PDF. Just print a blank page from Word and change to landscape orientation. Select the object that contained the text that had given the error (it contained more than the text), cut it, and paste it into the blank PDF. Edit the text in new PDF. Then again cut and paste it back into the original document.
    3) In previous version of Acrobat, rotated text editing was not supported and hence the warning is appearing. But for normal text editing happens. This problem has been fixed in A11. So if you are trying to edit text which is other than horizontal or vertical, then those warnings are expected in Acrobat 10.

  • What are the options other than iCloud for a "full" iPone backup?

    With iCloud you have limited options to increase the size of the capacity for backups:
    5gb - Free
    20gb - .99/month
    200gb - 3.99/month
    500gb - 9.99/moth
    1TB - 19.99/month
    With such a big gap between 20gb and 200gb, I am looking for feedback on other cloud options other than iCloud that will backup everything on my new iPhone 6.
    Thank you

    Managing the backup of your phone starts with knowing what is backed up, what is NOT, backed up and how to manage your data/phone content.
    What is NOT backed up to icloud:
    Apps, music, and any other iTunes purchase.  
    What IS backed up to icloud:
    your personal information, settings and data
    if you open settings, icloud, storage, manage storage, show all apps.
    this shows your app data amounts in decending order.   You can turn off backup for any app that doesn't need iCloud backup.  For example, I use Dropbox which auto uploads all my photo and video when I connect to home wifi, so I do not backup camera roll, so I turn the switch off.  I do backup data from other apps, but not all of them.
    I backup an iPad and iPod touch to the same iCloud account with the 5 free GBS and have not needed more than that.

  • How do I remove the photo dates other than with Sport Removal?

    How can I remove the photo dates that appear in yellow from a photo other than using the Spot Removal tool which has not worked?

    While I agree that more detail is necessary from the original poster ... maybe even a screen capture
    I don't know if this is what the original poster means, but when I have tried to use the Lightroom 5 Enhanced Spot Removal Tool for this purpose, I could never obtain a solution that seemed to remove the offending object and fill in the desired area with a relatively continuous and natural looking result. It always seemed clear to me, when I tried to do this, that the result always had un-natural looking discontinuities in the end result caused by my application of the Enhanced Sport Removal Tool.
    And so, in my case, to eliminate the dates from the bottom of my photos, I wound up using different software ... in my case Photoshop Elements, which produced a more satisfactory result.
    On the left is the version of the photo created by Photoshop Elements, the date is missing (and at the bottom right, a lamp to illuminate the sign is also missing); while on the right is the image with no attempt to remove the date and lamp. My attempts to reproduce the removal of this date via Lightroom were unsuccessful, the grass never looked natural, the grass always had discontinuities which made the result unsatisfactory, and I did not save the Lightroom attempts to remove the date and lamp. (And if you look carefully on the left, you can see places where the shadows abrupty have disappeared, an artifact of the process, however I still deemed the photo on the left to be successful at the removal of these items, as I don't usually focus on the shadows)

  • Some of my highlights are working but others aren't.

    When I have opened the menu in Encore, 3 of my 7 highlights work and the other 4 are just on constantly. I have looked over the the different layers but can't see what the difference is between the working layers and the ones that aren't working.

  • Show text in the column other than contains in actual data field WD ALV

    Hi,
    I want to show the data in the ALV column other than contains in the actual field for this column. Fot this purpose I use method   SET_TEXT_FIELDNAME of the interface IF_SALV_WD_COLUMN_REF. Unfortunately, I still see the contents of the actual field in this column. What am I doing wrong?
    Here is the snippet:
    lr_column_ref type ref to  cl_salv_wd_column,
    lr_column_ref_ref type ref to if_salv_wd_column_ref
    lr_column_ref = lr_column_settings->get_column( id =  'FIELD1' ). "Column I want to replace with new value
    lr_column_ref_ref ?= lr_column_ref.
    lr_column_ref_ref->set_text_fieldname( value = 'FIELD2'). "New value column
    Thank you

    Hi Mayank,
    Its easy. Once you obtain the reference of your desired column create an instance of the & then set it to the cell editor. Check the code fragment below:
    data: lr_caption        TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_uie_caption.
      LOOP AT lt_columns ASSIGNING <fs_column>.
        CASE <fs_column>-id.
          WHEN 'CHECK'.
             CREATE OBJECT lr_caption.
             lr_caption->set_image_source( value = '~Pictogram/3People' ).
             lr_caption->SET_TEXT( value = 'My Text!' ).
            <fs_column>-r_column->set_cell_editor( lr_caption ).
        ENDCASE.
      ENDLOOP.
    In the snippet above am changing the cell editors of column by name CHECK to contain a pictogram by name "People" & a static text "My Text". So now all my cells under the CHECK column would contain both the pictogram & the text.

  • Having updated to ios7 we are now having difficulty charging all apple products other than with a plug, ie it won't charge on any docking station, have others had this issue?

    See above

    You can try going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting and then try setting up via iTunes. If still problem then set up via wifi and go to an Apple Store
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:         
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Keyframes - greater control, curves other than opacity

    Keyframes and in particular their curve shape can be controlled in the Compositing:Opacity attribute quite easily.
    For Transform and most others, I cannot see any way of adjusting the curve shape.
    Is this not possible? Should I assume that the curve for Transform is created as linear?
    And if I want a "curve" with ease in/out or similar, I will need to add many keyframes to approximate this?

    I am refering to the keyframes you see in the viewer after you have done a transformation on a clip. The viewer shows the motion path with the assigned keyframes. See the pic.

  • How to get music into iPod library other than with iTunes?

    I am using an iPhone video editing app and want to add music to the clips. The option presented is to "add music from iPod library. I am presently traveling abroad and do not have my MacBook to sync music into my iPhone. There is tons of free music available online but the question is how to get any of it into my iPod library. I've tried a third party "download" app but it stores music inside the app, not in the iPod library. Are the only ways to put music in my iPod library either 1) sync from my MacBook or 2) buy from iTunes store? or are there other options?
    Thanks much.  

    The Jazz website you showed had Real audio files, and these won't be able to be played in the iPod app anyway.
    But there are options for websites with mp3s.
    There are apps that can play mp3s and make playlists, and some that can download music from legit websites and then play it.
    Do a search for "mp3 play download" in the itunes store.
    I have never needed one, but there are a few there that seem to offer what you are asking.
    Theuy won't add the music to the ipod app, but they play themselves so that might be what you are looking for.

  • How to execute 261 goods issue for REM order items other than with MFBF?

    Our users are looking for an easy way to post a 261 goods issue for a single component of a repetitive manufacturing order without using the MFBF transaction where they have to deselect all other components of the order.
    The ideal situation would be to use a transaction similar to MB1C or MB11 to simply enter the planned REM order, component material id, and its respective quantitiy and then post. 
    Any information you can provide will be helpful.

    Strat,
    Thank you for your response but LT01 does not seem to provide the functionality that I am looking for.
    To clarify, our users would like to complete a 261 movement for a single component within a particular repetitive manufacturing, without going into the MFBF transaction and having to deselect all of the unnecessary components just to single out one. 
    So ideally we would like to use the MB1C transaction for a 261 movement. Enter in a REM order, the material id, and the quantity to be issued and simply post a single material.  Currently when we attempt to do this with MB1C we receive the error M7162 that our order, which is a product cost collector, cannot be processed with this transaction.
    Hope this helps clear it up and thanks again for your response.

  • Auxiliary table (other than with as and subquery)

    Hello my friends
    I know that two ways of implementing tempolary tables are with-as-select and also subqueries.
    is there any other way to have auxiliary tables in oracle?
    I use oracle 11.2.0.2
    thank you in advance.
    (i should mention that before asking i searched google)

    yes i meant somehow temporary table, auxiliary table, by with-as oder subquery i just wanted to give example(maybe not a relevent example)Does the word TEMPORARY in Temporary table refers to the state of the Data in the table or the State of the table itself?
    Becuase GTT (Global temporary table) is actually a physical table in Oracle with different level of data persistency (Transaction level and Session Level)
    SQL Server offers temporary table in which the table itself is not persistent. The table is automatically dropped (Not sure how it works, as not an experienced SQL Server person)
    The WITH clause in SELECT is Just a Named Query. Oracle optimizer can materialize the result set of the subquery in the WITH clause and reuse it.
