OT - My bathroom sink this morning
- Thread starter BlueCorn
- Start date
I know Greg, others in my household don't share the same sentiment however.
:lol:
BTW - I used a tip from this month's Photoshop User for setting the gray point. The original picture has a yellow cast:
It's works great in a shot that has no easily discernible "middle gray"
Open the image.
Create a new layer
use Edit/Fill and fill with 50% gray
Change the layer type to difference
Create a new adjustment layer choosing threshold.
Drag the slider to the far left until the entire image turns white.
Slowly bring the slider back to the right until some areas turn black.
Hold down shift and mark one of those first black spots with the dropper.
Hit cancel on the threshold dialog and delete the layer that you've added.
Now you can set the gray point using curves or levels on the marker that you created.
It's slick.

man you guys are lightyears ahead of me
I'm a down and dirty photoshopper- if I can't get the pic to look decent in two or three minutes I give up on it. If the picture has to be printed I'll spend longer but my preference is to have someone else deal with it
Well you do pretty darn good for 2 or 3 mins...
