ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 14 User Guide 2. Create a new Levels adjustment layer. Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels and click OK in the New Layer dialog box. Rather than working directly on the image, we are going to make the tonal correction in an adjustment layer. Working in an adjustment layer leaves the original image untouched so you can discard your changes and restore the original image at any time. 3. Evaluate the image histogram.
PAGE 23
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 15 User Guide 5. Adjust the midtones. The middle input slider (the gray triangle below the histogram) adjusts the gamma, or contrast, of the midtone values. It moves the midtone (level 128) and changes the intensity values of the middle range of gray tones without significantly altering the highlights and shadows. Move the middle input slider to the left to lighten the image or to the right to darken the image. 6. Remove the color cast.
PAGE 24
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 16 User Guide 7. Finish up. When you’ve made all your adjustments, click OK to close the dialog box and accept your changes.

Now you can make edits on the object, leaving the background intact. Choose Select > Deselect to try another selection tool. 3.

For example, you can create alternates for variations of a design based on different versions or completely different photos for different editions of a publication. You can use alternates in several ways. For instance, if you make extensive changes to a file, it may make more sense to save it as an alternate than a version.

PAGE 188
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 180 User Guide You can’t improve a lower-quality image by printing it at a high resolution. Changing the print resolution of an image simply makes each pixel larger, which results in pixelation—output with large, coarse-looking pixels. Increasing the print resolution of an image doesn’t add any pixel information to the image. You can make a low-resolution image look its best by picking a print size that makes the most of the pixels it has.

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 283 User Guide If you must convert your image from one mode to another, it makes sense to perform most of your tonal and color corrections in RGB mode and use CMYK mode for fine-tuning. Advantages of working in RGB mode include the following: • You can save memory and improve performance because you are working with fewer channels. • The range of colors in RGB spaces is much larger than the range in CMYK spaces, and more colors are likely to be preserved after adjustments.

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 291 User Guide Correcting color with the eyedroppers You can use the eyedroppers in the Levels or Curves dialog boxes to correct a color cast. It’s easier to color-balance an image by first identifying an area that should be neutral and then removing the color cast from that area. Depending on the image, you may want to use one or all three of the eyedroppers. The eyedroppers work best on an image with easily identified neutrals.

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 305 User Guide The Channel Mixer modifies a targeted (output) color channel using a mix of the existing (source) color channels in the image. Color channels are grayscale images representing the tonal values of the color components in an image (RGB or CMYK). When you use the Channel Mixer, you are adding or subtracting grayscale data from a source channel to the targeted channel.
PAGE 314
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 306 User Guide Choosing an output channel sets the source slider for that channel to 100% and all other channels to 0%. For example, choosing Red as the output channel sets the Source Channels sliders to 100% for Red, and to 0% for Green and Blue (in an RGB image). 4 Drag any source channel’s slider to the left to decrease the channel’s contribution to the output channel or to the right to increase it, or enter a value between -200% and +200% in the text box.

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 357 User Guide The Radius value varies according to the subject matter, the size of the final reproduction, and the output method. For high-resolution images, a Radius value between 1 and 2 is usually recommended. A lower value sharpens only the edge pixels, whereas a higher value sharpens a wider band of pixels. This effect is much less noticeable in print than on-screen, because a 2-pixel radius represents a smaller area in a high-resolution printed image.

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 724 User Guide Choosing a print encoding method By default, the printer driver transfers binary information to PostScript printers; however, you can choose to transfer image data using JPEG or ASCII85 encoding. (ASCII85 is a text-encoding method for binary data; it is more compact than ASCII encoding.) These options are not available for non-PostScript printers, including many inkjet printers.

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 725 User Guide Trapping is intended to correct the misalignment of solid colors. In general, you don’t need traps for continuous-tone images such as photographs. Excessive trapping may produce an outline effect. These problems may not be visible on-screen and might show up only in print. Photoshop uses standard rules for trapping: • All colors spread under black. • Lighter colors spread under darker colors. • Yellow spreads under cyan, magenta, and black.
PAGE 734
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 726 User Guide 4 For the Type option, select Monotone, Duotone, Tritone, or Quadtone. 5 Click the color box (the solid square). Then use the color picker or click the Custom button in the color picker to select an ink from the Custom Colors dialog box. Note: To produce fully saturated colors, specify inks in descending order—darkest at the top, lightest at the bottom. 6 Click the curve box next to the color ink box and adjust the duotone curve for each ink color.
PAGE 735
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 727 User Guide Specifying overprint colors Overprint colors are two unscreened inks printed on top of each other. For example, when you print a cyan ink over a yellow ink, the resulting overprint color is green. The order in which inks are printed, as well as variations in the inks and paper, can significantly affect the final results. To predict how colors will look when printed, use a printed sample of the overprinted inks and adjust your screen display accordingly.
PAGE 736
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 728 User Guide Click the Auto button in the Halftone Screens dialog box to set the optimal screen angles and frequencies. Be sure to select Use Accurate Screens in the Auto Screens dialog box if you’re printing to a PostScript Level 2 (or higher) printer or an imagesetter equipped with an Emerald controller. Note: The recommended screen angles and frequencies for quadtones are based on the assumption that channel 1 is the darkest ink and channel 4 is the lightest ink.

729 Chapter 25: Automating Tasks Actions About actions An action is a series of commands that you play back on a single file or a batch of files. For example, you can create an action that applies an Image Size command to change an image to a specific size in pixels, followed by an Unsharp Mask filter that resharpens the detail, and a Save command that saves the file in the desired format. Most commands and tool operations are recordable in actions.
PAGE 738
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 730 User Guide Playing actions Playing an action executes the series of commands you recorded in the active document. You can exclude specific commands from an action or play a single command. If the action includes a modal control, you can specify values in a dialog box or use a modal tool when the action pauses. Note: In Button mode, clicking a button executes the entire action—although commands previously excluded are not executed. To play an action on a file 1 Open the file.
PAGE 739
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 731 User Guide To rearrange actions in the Actions palette ❖ In the Actions palette, drag the action to its new location before or after another action. When the highlighted line appears in the desired position, release the mouse button. Recording actions Recording actions Keep in mind the following guidelines when recording actions: • You can record most—but not all—commands in an action.
PAGE 740
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 732 User Guide 5 If desired, set one or both of the following options: • Assign a keyboard shortcut to the action. You can choose any combination of a function key, the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Mac OS), and the Shift key (for example, Ctrl+Shift+F3), with these exceptions: In Windows, you cannot use the F1 key, nor can you use F4 or F6 with the Ctrl key. • (Photoshop) Assign a color for display in Button mode. 6 Click Record.
PAGE 741
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 733 User Guide To insert a stop 1 Choose where to insert the stop by doing one of the following: • Select an action’s name to insert a stop at the end of the action. • Select a command to insert a stop after the command. 2 Choose Insert Stop from the Actions palette menu. In ImageReady you can also click the Insert A Step button at the bottom of the palette. 3 Type the message you want to appear.
PAGE 742
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 734 User Guide You can insert a command when recording an action, or after it has been recorded. An inserted command doesn’t execute until the action is played, so the file remains unchanged when the command is inserted. No values for the command are recorded in the action. If the command opens a dialog box, the dialog box appears during playback, and the action pauses until you click OK or Cancel.
PAGE 743
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 735 User Guide About conditionals (ImageReady) A conditional is a statement of a situation that must be met before the next step of an action can take place. You set both the condition and the steps to take if the condition is met. Conditionals are extremely useful in limiting the range of items an action will work on. For instance, suppose you are importing hundreds of images into a web-based photo gallery, but you have to resize any that are too large for your specifications.

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 738 User Guide Saving and loading actions By default, the Actions palette displays predefined actions (shipped with the application) and any actions you create. You can also load additional actions into the Actions palette. Note: Photoshop actions are not compatible with ImageReady, and vice versa. Actions are automatically saved to the Actions Palette folder in the Adobe Photoshop or Adobe ImageReady CS Settings folder. If this file is lost or removed, the actions you created are lost.
PAGE 747
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 739 User Guide Although ImageReady doesn’t allow you to create sets, you can manually organize actions in the ImageReady Actions folder. For example, if the Actions palette contains too many actions, create a new folder inside the ImageReady Actions folder and move less used actions from the ImageReady Actions folder to this new folder. The relocated actions are removed from the palette until you return them to the ImageReady Actions folder.
