User set cliping points for Highlight and Shadow

OK I know Lightroom 3 is currently available as a Beta version and is not complete and there may be more features to come.
But
Wouldn't it be nice in the develop module to set the point at which you get clipping warnings for highlight and shadow.
I ask this as a lot of my work goes straight out for repro, and it would be usefull to be able to set the highlight  to say 90-95% and the shadow to about 15-20%.
OK I know I can run  a tool over the image and see what the percentage is, but it would be a lot esier if I could set my own limits and just watch for the red and blue "blobs"
Just a sugestion

I too find the FTP server implementation to be sorely lacking in OS X Server. There is no option to share out only the designated FTP root folder without showing the other share points. It seems impossible to lock down subdirectories to specific users with letting them see the contents of the root directory. Maddening!
I'm looking at other FTP server options. Rumpus comes highly recommended, but I also just found CrushFTP which also looks intriguing, especially its option to integrate with LDAP - something that Rumpus does not do. CrushFTP is also significantly less expensive.

    I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

    Hi David-
    The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

  • Highlight and shadow recovery sliders?

    Do the highlight and shadow recovery sliders in the brush and gradient tool panels do the EXACT same thing as those sliders in the main panel? I know they will only apply to the area affected by the brush/gradient while the main panel is a global adjustment.
    For example, does a 100% shadow recovery on the main panel result in the same result as a 100% shadow recovery brushed into an area, when comparing the same area?

    Interesting -- I would have (naively) guessed there wasn't a difference.  But a simple test shows there are small but noticeable differences.
    Start with an original photo. Make two virtual copies. In one copy, apply the global shadows +50.  In the other copy, apply the adjustment brush with feather, flow, and density = 100 and automask off across the entire pic; then set brush shadows = +50.  Export the two virtual copies as 16-bit TIFFs into Photoshop.  Stack them as layers in a single image.  This lets you see small differences just by enabling or disabling the top layer.  With my test pic, I can clearly see small differences.
    To quantify the differences, set the top layer's blending mode to Difference, merge the two layers, and invoke Image > Adjustments > Levels to see the histogram. 
    Here's my original test pic:
    And here are the differences as computed in Photoshop:
    As you can see from the histogram, the differences are in the range of 5 parts out of 255. They are greater in the shadows than the highlights.
    Here's a Dropbox folder with the original raw and the two exported TIFFs.

  • HT201328 I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first or set one up for her and then unlock the phone.

    I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.

    I would complete unlocking as is and then
    restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
    Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
    one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
    will likely take weeks
    This may also help

  • I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

    To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
    Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
    To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
    It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

  • For printer LaserJet Profession​al CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC

    Dear All
    for printer  LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC?please help?

    What Windows OS are you using?  Are you networked?
    If you are networked, you have to setup your file and print sharing options in order to require password assess.  If you are just trying to control specific files from being printed, you can do that, too.
    If you are just trying to control the amount of printing off of a single PC with a printer, you could setup different accounts for each user and limit their access. 
    Some of the commercial printers can have password options, but I do not find any password options for the CM 1410, other than what I provided earlier.
    If I have been helpful, a Kudo is always appreciated.

  • Are highlight and shadow clipping must be avoided in any image?

    Are highlight and shadow clipping must be avoided in any image?
    Because in some cases, let's say, night scene, usually has many black pixels in the sky. Which perform nice contrast against the colorful signs.
    Please check the attached image for reference(01.tif).
    I know there's nothing in the sky, so I would like to keep all the pixels to be clipped. Is this right?
    Some of my students says that other instructors told them to keep all the pixels in the histogram.
    But I tell them it depands on how would you like your images to show. Am I correct?
    As the attached image, it's impossible to pull the black pixels back to the histogram and I think it's acceptable in this case.
    Let's see the 2nd case(02.tif), this image has highlight clipping in the clouds.
    I like the way this image looks, which looks like a watercolor painting.
    If I pull the white pixels back, the image will change a lot and I will get a very dark overall.
    My question is, is it that important to keep your images without having highlight or shadow clipping?
    This is not apply to any image, right???
    THANK YOU

    For a more in depth discussion of clipping, it should be noted that clipping can occur in either the raw file or the rendered white balanced file. In the latter, it can take the form of luminosity clipping or saturation clipping. Saturation clipping occurs when the chosen color space is too small to accommodate saturated colors at a high luminance. In ACR, saturation clipping is indicated by a colored line or shoulder at the right of the histogram. The remedy is to use a larger color space. Luminosity clipping in ACR is indicated by a white line or shoulder at the right of the histogram and the remedy is to adjust exposure or use highlight recovery.
    Examination of the OP's histogram shows a yellow line at the right, indicative of saturation clipping of the red and green channels. The OP could try a wider space such as ProPhotoRGB.
    Here is an image of a a flower rendered into sRGB using the ACR defaults and the Adobe Standard camera profile. It appears overexposed and the yellows (actually reds and greens) are clipped as indicated by the yellow line at the right of the histogram.
    The raw histogram (produced by Rawnalize) shows that the image is well exposed. The red and green channels are just short of clipping. The image appears overexposed with ACR, since ACR uses a baseline exposure offset for the Nikon D3.
    However, when white balance is applied for this daylight exposure, the red channel is multiplied by approximately 2.21, and this should result in clipping of the red channel. This did not work exactly as expected with ACR, so I used Iris (a freeware astronomical program which allows extensive control of the conversion process) and examined the histogram of the resulting image in Photoshop. Note that the green channel is just short of clipping, as expected and that the red channel is clipped.
    To avoid clipping with the white balance in ACR, it is necessary to use negative exposure to offset the red white balance multiplier. I chose to use a bit of highlight recovery as well to tone down the highlights while maintaining a pleasing value for the midtones. Here is the resulting preview with rendering into ProPhotoRGB.
    In this case, I was able to avoid clipping. However, when the image is printed or viewed on a display with a limited gamut, some clipping would undoubtedly occur.

  • Highlight and Shadows Problem

    I use a 2GB Imac Intel 2 Ghz If i set Highlights and Shadows in the RAW window to anything above 0.0 when i use the loupe to view close up the loupe isnt as responsive its like the adjustments are eating up all the CPU time, the loupe usually has fluid movement around the image, but not if i enable Highlights and Shadows?
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    yup. the hilites/shadows settings eat a lot of processing power.

  • Highlights and Shadows Adjustment Panel

    Hi
    Since upgrading to 3.3.1 yesterday, I have lost the Advanced segment of the Highlights and Shadows adjustment panel.
    It will show up on photos which had been previously edited using this segment, but not on photos which have not been edited.
    Photos are on an external drive.
    Any fixes?

    See Kirby Krieger's Thread:
    How to not miss that olde-tyme Highlights & Shadows 7-slider Brick
    Basically you use an image, that still has the Version 3.2 Highlights & Shadows adjustments and create an adjustment preset (effect) from this image. Then you can use the advanced controls again for all images.

  • LR 4.1 where did highlight and shadow recovery go?

    I just upgraded to lightroom 4.1 and the highlight and shadow recovery sliders have disappeared.  It now looks like me old version 2.  What happened to the new sliders?

    You may be seeing Lr3 settings i.e. Process Version 2010 rather than Process Version 2012, or vice versa. Anything imported into Lighytroom 4 that wasn't edited in an earlier version will be Proces Version 2012, which uses a completely new set of adjustments. Anything edited in an earlier version of Lr will be PV2010 or earlier.
    In PV2010 we had Highlight Recovery and Fill Light, both only operated in positive direction, which was/is usually thought of as recovery. The terms hightlight and Shadow recovery don't apply in PV2012 because the new sliders operate in both positive and neagtive directions. You can switch between the two process version by first selecting the image then choosing the appropriate option  form the Process drop down menu in Camera Calibration panel (DEvelop module)
    The following screenshots are from Lr4.1 and might help address your concern.

  • Highlight and Shadow Recovery in Aperture?

    Hey folks,
    I am still pretty new at using Aperture 3, but I was very curious to know if it has a similar feature as Lightroom 4 does with its highlight and shadow recovery feature. I am really impressed with how this works in Lightroom 4 and would be curious to see if this would work in Aperture. Thanks!

    Andy, you owe us an advanced tutorial on shadow recovery.
    I find it interesting that 3.5's "Auto Fix" always seems to include a healthy dose of shadow lift.
    LOL. I haven't forgotten Frederick, honest. But a few things have been happening that put it down the priority list.
    And, I've become increasingly frustrated at the way things are being run over at DPR, in particular the way the so called moderators in some of the forums are deleting content, not only for alleged rule breaches but based on their personal opinions and friendships it seems. Complaints either go unanswered, or given the generic 'moderators actions can't be discussed'. Gee - 'Can't be discussed', hardly surprising some of them feel they have the power to do what they like! If it can't be discussed, my only real power is to take my clicks and content somewhere else.
    So I'm in two minds if I want to publish it on DPR or just leave it until my new site is ready.
    But it's actually a partially related subject that has really side-tracked me. I've beed in touch with the developer of the old Enfuse Edit Plug-in for Aperture to find out if there were any plans to make it compatible with Aperture 3.
    He explained he doesn't have the resources to work on it at the moment, so I offered to take the Plug-In and make it compatible.
    I've now done that and have it working on my system, and I'm just putting the finishing touches to an installation script to work around some gatekeeper/quarantine issues. The first version is going to be a little rough as it's essentially just a recompile of the old beta, with a couple of inelegant work arounds for the issues encountered. If there's any interest in it, I'll start finessing it a little.
    If you're unfamiliar with Enfuse, it's a command line program that takes multiple images with different exposures a blends them together using the best exposure from each (base on some settings).
    enfuseEdit is an Edit plug-in for Aperture where you can select the images to be blended and have the result returned directly to Aperture.
    Here's a small example I made with the plugin:
    The two exposures (actually 2 versions of the same raw with different exposure adjustments):
    And the 'enfused' output:

  • Want to use Reader Extensions for highlighting and adding comments

    Hi,
    The basic use for which we plan to use Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions is for highlighting and adding comments.
    In a J2EE application, we create PDF document at runtime using (PDFBox). The purpose to use Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions is when the end user sees the PDF created he/she should be able to add highlights and add comments to the PDF document and save it back to server.
    The question is what all I need to do. Just install Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions on the server. What should be done specifically when the PDF is created using PDFBox? Add any information to the PDF so that when PDF is viewed by the user he/she can add comments or highlight.
    Can I get sample application and I also need Developer Guide. I think Developer guide comes with the setup? Did not find any place where I can down load a demo setup of Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
    Can you please guide me in the right direction? I am collecting more information as I search the internet and go through the forum, but it will be very helpful if someone can give correct information.
    Thank You.
    Regards,
    Jay Chandran.

    Hi,
    I was reading Adobe Reader SDK document (Acrobat_SDK_overview.pdf), in that it is mentioned under
    About rights-enabled documents:
    You cannot programmatically rights-enable a PDF file.
    Well I am confused, because my requirement is like this:
    1. PDF is created using (PDFBox) as part in a J2EE application.
    2. After the PDF has been created, from the J2EE application, the PDF will be send to LiveCycle Extensions to right enable it. (There is no user interface, and it is planned to be done programatically using Adobe libraries. The PDF will be send to LiveCycle Server and Right Enabled PDF will be returned.)
    So if there is no way to "programmatically rights-enable a PDF file", how can it be done without having an web interface?
    Just to confirm, PDF can be prgramatically right-enabled using LiveCycle libraries right? I have to right enable PDF files prgramatically and not using LiveCycle web interface.
    Thank You.
    Regards,
    Jay Chandran.

  • Preview highlight and shadow clipping mask in second monitor

    Hi, I'm new in the forum and just starting with the new LR3. I have a question about to preview highlight and shadow clipping in the second monitor, becouse I can't check the mask clipping in my second monitor as in the LR2... Is there a possibility to change it to preview the mask in the second monitor?
    Thanks and regards
    Daniel

    Yeah, thanks.... but I mean that when you are in develop mode and you try to see the highlight or black clipping mask, red or blue, now in LR3 only appears in the main monitor, not in the second monitor as well like in LR2... Maybe I'm not explaining very well the difference...
