Hi. I opened the image as a jpeg in Photoshop, converted it to a .psd, selected "Adjust Auto Levels," resaved it back to a jpeg - and that's it. Do you feel that the results are an improvement? - Frank/Guppyman®alrmc4 said:ok how did you do that 8)
could you please explain what you said here sorry so much to learnreefrunner69 said:my problem with autolevels is it has a tendency to clip the histogram, both the first and the second seem to be clipped to the right. IMO,
Hi rr. No doubt - but I wasn't interested in spending more than 10 seconds on someone else's work - when I can't even get to my own. I was just trying to demonstrate that 10 seconds and knowledge of only one auto adjustment, 9 out of 10 times will improve an image. I disagree on photo #3. The original has way too much magenta, as did all three in fact, IMO. There are also monitor calibration issues - but let's not go there. - Frank/Guppyman®reefrunner69 said:The first is debatable, a manual levels adjustment would have done a better job, IMO, but for a one click deal, it did an outstanding job.

Well, I'll guess you know that you and I are probably the only two people on the planet that does THAT every week. I have a worse problem. I use a dual monitor set-up and no matter how I calibrate them, they are very different when viewing the same image. It drives me nuts!!! - Frank/Guppyman®reefrunner69 said:This is certainly true, but I calibrate my monitor about once per week
I agree. That's why I use the "Auto Adjust." The program is more adaept at the corrections then I will ever be. The more I futz with an image - generally the worse it gets. Less is usually more. - Frank/Guppyman®alrmc4 said:i have been trying to do less with editing programs as i have a tendency to over edit until i have mush - Quote edited by Guppyman®
