Turning of Shadow (Cold area)

I was one of the first buyers of Aperture when first introduced. I did not like many aspects of v. 1 (library, slow performance) so I migrated to Lightroom. When Aperture 2.0 was introduced, I downloaded the Trial and loved the new version so much, I purchased the upgrade.
One thing I do not like about v2.01 is I can not figure out how to leave on the blown Highlights but turn off the Shadow (cold) area. I just find the blue tint so distracting when adjusting white balance. Has anyone found a way to disable only the Shadow (cold areas)? Lightroom gives you the choice of leaving the shadow area turned off while having the Highlights on.
I have posted a comment about this in the Aperture feedback area.

Hi stjuste
re Maybe I'm confusing what "hot" means. I've even seen cases where the master image is flagged as having more hot areas even though it is less saturated and exposure level is lower.
Thought I would check. Used a pic of a dancer at night with firebrands. Pic looks good as I shot it.
Measured the "Hot Spot' at 255, and some others at a lower value. The manual says:
Images may occasionally have overly bright areas where color information about the
area is beyond the standard limits of the Aperture working color space. For example,
white areas in an image brightly lit with direct sunlight, or bright flashes off a water
surface, may be so bright that their color is outside the working color space. In addition,
images may occasionally have black areas where color information about the area is
below the standard limits of the working color space. Aperture can display these “hot”
and “cold” areas of an image with tints on the image to help you identify hot and cold
areas. You may be able to adjust these areas and recover highlight and shadow detail
identified by the hot and cold area overlays by changing the exposure, the recovery, the
black point, or the gamma setting of the image.
This maybe of help.. maybe not. Probably like you I set up the pics how I want them not what any program tells me.
Interesting though. I will do a bit more checking.
Cheers

  • HIGHLIGHT HOT & COLD AREAS

    WHEN I CLICK ON THE HIGHLIGHT HOT & COLD AREAS,IN VIEW TO TURN IT ON.
    EVERY PHOTO I GO TO ( IN ANY PROJECT OR ALBUM ,IT`S GOT THE HOT IN RED WHICH CAN BE ADJUSTED )
    BUT THE WHOLE PHOTO, PHOTO`S GO BLUE WHICH MEANS I CAN NOT ADJUST THE COLD SPOTS.

    Hopefully not telling you to suck eggs here but it might be worth watching a few of the tutorials that discuss image editing and adjustments, there are videos on all of the processes you need to understand in order to manage your highlights and shadows. Start at the top and work your way through them, made a world of difference for me.
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/tutorials/
    Also you will find a plethora of information here, specifically a pdf on "performing adjustments"
    http://www.apple.com/support/aperture/
    Hope these help you to understand how to manage the highlights and shadows, hot and cold functions.

  • Toggle on "Highlight Hot and Cold Areas"

    Aloha all.
    When ever I toggle on "Highlight Hot and Cold Areas" my image turns solid red. I know I must have a setting turned on or set too high but I can't figure it out? Anyone else with this problem? Solutions?
    Using Aperture 2.1

    In Preferences->Appearance, see what the hot area display threshold is set to. It should be 97 or higher.

  • Color problem - Hot & Cold areas

    I have downloaded a trial version of Aperture 2 and have been familiarizing myself with its various new features. I played with the preference settings and now my photos are showing "hot" and "cold" areas even after I reset the sliders to 100% for hot and 0% for cold. I have moved the sliders to all possible positions to no avail.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    In your menu bar go to View->Highlight Hot & Cold Areas. Select it to remove the check mark and turn the feature off.

  • Highlight hot and cold areas

    When "Highlight hot and cold areas" is turned on I often get some blue outlines in a photo, but when I press "Z" (zoom) they disappear. What is going on?

    Could be a number of reasons for this but nothing to worry about. You could try looking at the hot/cold threshold levels but you need to remember smaller images can't hold the same amount of data as large ones. Edge sharpening for example, on the large scale may contrast 10,000 pixels along a 1 inch line to the full size image. Now think what has to happen when the image is shown as a 7x5. Think of it in terms of Bit Depth. With 1 bit there is no grey area and choices have to be made about what to show. In this case it is not a perfect copy of the full size image. Allan

  • Hot and Cold area viewing confusing me...

    Hi Everyone,
    I've been using Aperture 2 since it came and I'm liking the workflow and integration with the rest of OSX. Today I stumbled upon something confusing. I was playing with the display hot and cold areas option and was finding that when I measured the hot areas with the loupe, that the color values weren't actually blown out...
    For example, I had a picture of a rose that when zoomed in, I could see the detail in the petals but was still being flagged as blown out. When I did a loupe rgb read on a 1x1 pixel point, I found that the red value was around 211...I thought that hot areas are 255?
    Maybe I'm confusing what "hot" means. I've even seen cases where the master image is flagged as having more hot areas even though it is less saturated and exposure level is lower.
    Can something be wrong with the hot/cold area function? Can anyone give it a try and see what kind of values they are seeing with the hot and cold area viewer?
    Thanks.

    I assume that you have installed new RAM in your MBP.
    It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.
    What the the RAM specifications that you are trying to install?

  • Muse: Issue: Text Effects options (Drop Shadow, etc) are always disabled.

    Hello,
    I am a new Muse user and I have been using the Learn Tutorials here on helpx.adobe.com to teach myself Muse.
    I have a strange problem. When following through the "Apply Effects to Text" tutorial at: Adding effects to text | Adobe Muse CC tutorials, the options to add a drop shadow are not enabled. On advice from folks on Twitter, I tried the same using System Fonts, Web Fonts and Web Safe fonts. None of them seem to work.
    I am attaching a video capture of the issue.
    Please help :-(

    That's worse. If I set Stroke to 1 (you can only do that on the Text Frame and not the text itself), then the Text Effects do get enabled. BUT, the effect is applied to the entire text frame instead of just the text. See this:
    I want the drop shadow for the text not the frame (like how Photoshop does it).

  • Turning Open items which are partially payed into Close items.. How?

    Hello,
    In our company we use partial payment to Vendors using transaction F-59 and also automatic paymant of full amounts. Everything is working correctly but since we use very offen partial way of paymant, on transaction FBL1N I have a lot of open items and most of the time I don't know exactly how much do I own to vendor(s).
    To explain it easier I will show one simple example:
    1. I own to one of my vendors amount Eur 10.000
    2. Using transaction F-59 (partial payment) I pay him Eur 3.000
    3. When I open transaction FBL1N for that vendor and if I choose to show only Open items
    total amount shows me that I own him Eur 10.000 instead of due amount 7.000
    I understand that total amount of Eur 10.000 instead of Eur 7.000 is shown because we use partial instead of residual way of paymant but I would like to know is there any way I could manually turn these Eur 3.000 into close item because they are already payed?
    Searching through Internet I found that transaction F-44 could be used for similar but I am not sure it can do exactly what I need: to turn all partial payed open items to close items so for each vendor then I could see exact amount I own them.
    I hope someone can help me with this because I must solve it ASAP and it's slowing me down at my workplace and it would be great if I could manually close some open items, because they are already payed.
    Greetings,
    Adi
    Moderator: Please, try searching before posting a new thread. Clearing issues are well described on these forums
    Edited by: samnovice on Jul 30, 2011 3:50 PM

    Hi:
         Knocking off invoices against partial payments in F-44 is a standard procedure that is used to clear open item outstanding in Vendor ledger FBL1N. You should ideally clear partial payment in Residual Tab of F-44 and for remaining amount e.g 7 in your case you should double click in residual item column next to amount. By doing so system will also copy the original invoice reference to the partial document AB (with 7 amount) as per setting defined in OBA0 for residual item clearing.
    Line item 10 and its payment line item 3 are standing open in ledger because you did not apply them in F-44. You could have also directly apply them in F-59 of F-53. Partial document will be generated with document type as per setting you have defined in OBXH. Hope this will clear your understanding.
