Trying to make a selection of blown highlights???

I was developing the other day in LR my fingers hit a key on the keyboard that sent the marching ants around the blown sky on my image. I was able to bring back ALL the detal in the sky by sliding the highlight slider down and I can tfigure out how in the world I got that selected? Please can anyone help? Thanks!!:)

Hmmm, never seen marching ants in Lightroom but perhaps close to your scenario is Highlight Clipping on the “J” key. This displays blue and red masks over black and white clipping, respectively. Reducing the Highlights adjustment will reduce the red mask until the white clipping has been avoided. Increasing the Blacks adjustment will do the same for the blue mask and black clipping. Or you can just click'n'drag the Histogram area.

  • How to make a selected item in woodstock Basic's drop down list highlighted

    I am trying to create a JSF web page and populate Woodstock Basic drop down with options from a MySql database and highlight some options that a user had selected from previous session. How do I make the selected items appear highlighted?
    I would appreciate a response soon.
    Thanks,

    More specific? It can´t be more specific. Maybe you want me to be less specific.
    At any way, this coding example should say more than enough.
    <sometaglib:someInputComponent value="#{someBean.someProperty}" />
    public class SomeBean {
        private String someProperty; // +getter +setter
        public SomeBean() {
            this.someProperty = "some default value";
    }

  • Error messages when trying to make selection

    Hi, I am new at Photoshop, I use CS6, and today I followed a tutorial on how to make a robot on a picture and at first everything went ok but when I was almost done and tried to make a selection with the lasso tool I all of a sudden got an error message that says "Warning: No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selection edges will not be visible." And when I press OK my selection is not there. I had no problem when I started the project but now it won't work.
    And now I get this error messages everytime I try to make a selection and it doesn't matter if I use the pen, marque or whatever.
    Anyone here who knows what I'm doing wrong?
    Best regards

    Basically, what that warning message is telling you is that the "marching ants," will not be fully representative of your Selection.
    Now, if you want to make a Selection, that includes 100% of the pixels, check the Lasso Options, to make sure that you do not have something like a large Feather, with a small Selection.
    Good luck,

    You can only do this with a Project.

  • I am new to Photoshop CC. I am trying to use the magic wand to highlight a dull sky, and it is just making a weird selection that has nothing to do with my photo

    I am trying to use the Magic Wand to highlight a dull sky so that I can add something more interesting.
    When I try to isolate this area, the magic wand seems to just make a random selection throughout my photo.
    I have anit-alias on, and my tolerance is at 5.

    First, is the layer containing the photo of the sky selected? That might help.
    But there are probably better ways to make selections than the magic wand, depending on the value ranges in the sky you wish to select.
    Try Color Range, Quick Mask, or manual selections using the Polygon Lasso Tool, or combinations of all of the above.
    You can also paint your selection on an additional layer (using brushes), and convert the painted area to a selection, make a channel of that selection, and refine manually.

  • Can you add audio tracks as selectable menu items on a dvd? I shot a wedding where the church had its own set up to record audio. I'm trying to make those songs performed by the artists available for viewers of the dvd to select for listening.?

    I'm trying to make audio (MP3) tracks available for viewers of this Wedding dvd to select for listening. Is this possible in iDVD?

    You will need to create a slide show for each of those songs with a minimum of 1 photo per slideshow and add the song to the slideshow audio bin. Set the audio to Fit to Music.
    In your top/main menu add a submenu for the list of songs.
    Add a slideshow for each song with the "+" button at the bottom:
    Select the link in the menu and rename it for the song used in the slideshow.  You can create a slide image for each song with the song name, composer, singer, etc. on the image to be used for the slideshow  An image editor or Pages can be used for that and then convert to a jpeg file for use in iDVD.
    The song/playlist menu could look like this depending on the theme you choose:

    I just remembered I have a couple of screen snaps online to explain how
    it's done:
    1. place your base image and name it in the inspector
    2. from the smart objects palette grab the head action item, the one
    with a question mark in its upper, green half - the 2nd one from the
    left. Drop that into the pages head section.
    3. in the inspector set the action to run OnLoad and select the base
    image that you named in the first step and set the other parameters.
    This was done in the days of GL6, but not much had changed in GL CS.
    Anyway you might also refer to GL's online help. It describes how to set
    up all the actions that ship with GL.

  • When trying to save a bookmark to a specific pre-established folder the window disappears and will not allow me to make a selection. If I hover in the area it will flash on the screen and disappear again, it's annoying please help!

    When I attempt to save a new bookmark and want to save it in a folder the window that typically appears just below the address bar will not stay on the screen. It flashes on the screen and as soon as I move my cursor over it, it disappears. It will not allow me to make a selection of any kind. If I randomly hover over the general area the window will flash back in view but disappear again just as quickly. If I then show all my bookmarks, the bookmark was saved and I have to move it to the folder I actually want it in. Just a few extra steps, but still very annoying. Please help!

    I'm trying to make a ring to for iPhone and about 20 sec into the playing of the song it fades out and goes silent. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

    Im not sure what garage band is, but i can tell you the way apple recommends making ringtones. Highlight a song in iTunes, right click and select get info. Goto the options tab and youll see the time lengths (write down the ending time) for the start time type in where you want the ringtone to start, ringtones can only be 30 sec long so make the ending time 30 sec later. Exit it out of the info and while song highlighted goto the "advanced" tab at the top of iTunes where you will see an option that says "create aac version". after creating the aac version you will have a duplicate song in your iTunes, change the original back to the correct time length. Take the 30 sec aac version and drag it to your desktop, right click the icon and click "preferences" You will then be able to change the name of the file which will be somethign to the effect of "songnamehere.m4a" you just change the m4a to m4r. you now have a ringtone, drag the new file to iTunes where it will pop up in a new tab labled ringtones. If you cannot change the name of the file when it is on your desktop let me know and i will give you instuctions how to be able to change it. Once you get it figured out you can use any song you have on iTunes to make a ringtone.

  • Using Itunes 12.0.1.26 on iMac with Yosemite 10.10.1.  I 'select all' to highlight, dragg

    I have Itunes 12.0.1.26 on my home iMac (mid-2011) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I have been using 'select all' to highlight a playlist of 42 songs which I've purchased on iTunes and dragging and copying them to a Lexar USB flash drive. They appear to copy onto the flash drive but my philips shelf CD USB player shows "no songs" when I put the flash drive into it. I've also noticed that the songs on the flash drive under "kind" show either "protected MPEG-4 audio" or "Apple MPEG-4 audio". What I am I doing wrong that I can correct so I can take this flash drive around with me and listen to my music on other devices with USB ports?

    I would like to join this discussion. here is my contribution:
    It has been a problem for me over time (spans several versions of both iPhone, iTunes and MACOSes)that iTunes does not sync properly between my MacBookPro and my iPhone.
    The problem persists even on iPhone 6.
    The problem is easily described: I buy a song on iTunes on my MaBookPro iTunes client, and add it to a playlist. Then I ask the same client to sync the new song and the playlist addition of it to my iPhone. This never works the way you would expect from Apple software. The efforts I have to make to get the new song and the playlist addition over to my iPhone (like restarting both MacBookPro and iPhone, repeating the Sync-request until one of the devices hangs, or else the Sync-process uses huge amounts of time and behaving strangely and illogically from one request to the other, etc) remind me of the worst and most clumsy versions of Windows.
    Obvioulsy this problem has been reported many times. Why isn't it solved? Is it because Apple does not want to, or is it because they can't?
