It is always helpful to see the pic you are working on. Assuming you are using the eyedroppers correctly, not seeing a change in the histogram may only mean that your pic has good light and dark values. I think all you are trying to achieve is good contrast with with and black eyedroppers. Don't forget to set your middle greys as well.

I'm having a little trouble understanding the use of the eyedroppers in the histograms. I've been making adjustments by sliding the right and left arrows to the beginning of the both sides of the diagram. I've also adjusted the gamma in the center. I have had good results doing this.
I've just started to retouch an old and stained photo. So, I've gone back to the books to insure that I'm starting off correctly.
I've tried using the eydroppers for the black and white, but I do not see any difference in the histogram. When is it necessary to use the eyedroppers?
Some insight would help me here.
TIA

Hi, I have got this far in trying to age a pic, but I think maybe it still looks too new for the surround I have given it - which is an old mount. I'm also aiming to age it without losing too much quality. It doesn't have to be authentic, just reasonably plausible - but I am not sure it is plausible...07-19-2009, 12:58 PM

I checked through the search to see if anyone has asked this but couldn't find anything:
I've seen quite a few Black and white portrait pics that have an almost silver tone about them. Does anyone know of a plugin capable of doing this.

Hello to you all,
this is my first post and I hope I don't make any unforgiving mistakes... but I have the following question: Is there a way to improve the picture below, to get more romantic sunset-like colours (as it actually was, when I took the pic) and to get a nicer overall look?...06-14-2004, 10:33 AM
