  • Using Shadow/Highlight to enhance your photos

    New in Photoshop CS, shadow/highlight. It's sort of a filter but found under Image>Adjustments. Check it out. [details]

    I still have PS7, and I've been wondering how that worked. Looks like it has a lot of potential.

      Hmmm, posting before thinking or testing, always stupid, but...

      It looks to me like this can be done in PS7 using the inverted luminosity channel as a mask and a layer with Blend mode Luminosity? (Or some other blend mode).

      If any of you gurus out there could verify this, it would be quite easy to build an action for it, wouldn't it?

      (Looking for arguments not to update to PS CS! )

        I'm not all that impressed with this feature, and I do think similar results can be achieved through other means.
        Here's a link to a tutorial I wrote quite a while ago. I think the results are similar.


        Also, I'm not that impressed with the Color Match feature either. I have not gotten it to work as it should on any images.

          Just what I thought. I did a comparison on a ramdom photo of mine of Luminosity vs Desaturate and it was a 99% match. Of course it's nice to have old fatures combined into one-click solutions, but...

          Thanks Vikki!

            Sheri's Shadow-Highlight action

            I have an action(Sheri's Shadow-Highlight). Forgot where I got it from. But the read me is from this person below. This action works the same way as the one in CS. Try it out. Your going to have to ask her where its at, by e-mailing her for the link.

              I saw Sheri's action yesterday on this site... http://www.atncentral.com/download.htm

              BTW, I think one of the best parts about the Shadow/Highlight adjustment is its flexibility. Click on Show More Options and see what else can be done. Having said that, I found that if used improperly, it can wreck an image!

                And Twang also has an action for it. I discovered I've had it all the time

                  Richard, it would be great if you were to come up with an action similar to the one in the new Photoshop CS that brings out the detail in shadows and highlights. I haven't seen that one, but I have been playing with ASF's (Kodak) Digital SHO Pro plug-in eval. software, and it is awesome. Could not...

                  by gmitchel
                  Part 4 of the tutorial series, "Developing Photos That Pop" was added to my site today. It explains how to get the most from the Photoshop CS Shadow/Highlight command.

                  Transfer edits between layers in CS?
                  by fredley
                  I messed up! I made a copy of a layer to work in to clean up dust and marks. I used the Shadow/Highlight tool to bump up the visibility of the imperfections and proceeded to spend a lot of time with the clone stamp to repair the blemishes. Now I want to remove the changes that I made with the Shadow/Highlight...

                  Shadow Illuminator: Comments Please
                  by brajovic
                  Hi,

                  I've recently put on the web an interactive demonstration of an image processing algorithm I developed at Carnegie Mellon University. Originally the method was developed to improve robot vision by emulating some aspects of human vision (notably the adaptation taking place in the...

                  Shadow on half of the body
                  by eclectic1
                  Hello, this is my first time posting to this site. I have a friend who took a photograph of someone but half of the person body is dark and the other is light. When I tried to fix the face it started looking distorted. Can anyone tell me how I can even out the color so it looks natural or is it impossible...
