    Having huge problems with PS flattening all contrast... Where are my blacks?

    Tom Fantastic stuff! Before, the scope of this didn't seem to suit my working process and look but now after some elaboration and generous (much appreciated) work on your side explaining it further, it's caught my attention again. I've just had something come in and have to fly out for a...

    Having huge problems with PS flattening all contrast... Where are my blacks?

    The realisation that this might not look or work how I want it to is starting to sink in... Thanks for the suggestion of stochastic half-toning, unfortunately I can't really see it working for me. I was going to ask whether you could do a quick stochastic half-tone on one of my images to see...

    Having huge problems with PS flattening all contrast... Where are my blacks?

    Hey Tom Spot on... So I made a video recording following your advice above: http://youtu.be/EeI3YvRPqQs I learnt a bit more about grain than I knew before, which has helped a bit in fixing my problem (see below). I can see why the contrast is being washed out now. Like you said, because I'm...

    Having huge problems with PS flattening all contrast... Where are my blacks?

    Haaa, I see what you did there... I read through your post today and it seems like once again it's going to be helpful. I just got off an 16 hour shift so am knackered, but wanted to keep you in the loop that first thing tomorrow morning I'm going to apply the advice and record the video...

    Having huge problems with PS flattening all contrast... Where are my blacks?

    You are a genius. I’ve been away from the computer for a few days and it was so nice to come back to find an exact explanation of what the problem was. You were right Tom – I tried zooming at various different points into the original and cmd/alt/opt/e’d version, and right around 66% the image...

    Having huge problems with PS flattening all contrast... Where are my blacks?

    Yup - welcome to my problem. The issue is they all look only slightly different from each other, but drastically so from what I'm seeing photoshop (calibrated monitor). Do appreciate you trying, thanks Steve

    Having huge problems with PS flattening all contrast... Where are my blacks?

    Hey Tom Thanks very much man, appreciated. - Steve No problem, I’ve changed to a working space of Adobe RGB 1998 for the meantime as per your recommendation and recorded a video for ease of seeing the problem. It’s a rough draft of the kind of shot I want and the issue I’m experiencing...

    Hi Tom and Steve, thanks a lot for you replies - much appreciated! - Tom No problem, happy to upload the files. Currently they're too heavy to attach to this post and since I'm new I cant post links yet. I assume thats to stop spam so if I were to post the link as an attachment hopefully...
