    Alternatives to get Light Reflectance Values from a given photograph.

    Hi @omeride First, let me say I made one mistake in my approach, which I typed in my accident. In the first few steps, I was converting the Lab image to our L (or grayscale). I said to use the Multiply Blend, yet that should have been Color Blend. My apologies. When testing it with the original...

    Scanned slide to 11x14?

    I should add that Adobe provides a pretty easy help resource that may give you a faster turnaround for easier questions. Just go to the Adobe help website https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html I typed in how do you zoom in Photoshop and here is an example response: It is more focused that...

    Scanned slide to 11x14?

    Hi @R.Braverman, and you are welcome. Believe it or not, when you say "UNBELIEVABLE," you usually mean you are on the home stretch because you are already enjoying the results. The rest is a labor of love. We can talk about greyscale when you are ready, yet that is mostly what I mean by...

    Scanned slide to 11x14?

    HI @R.Braverman Here is the approach I take for the needed pixels (resolution). I start with the end product. Let's assume that it is an 11x14-inch print in portrait mode. From my prior posts, 300 dpi would be great, yet 150 dpi on the final print would be quite good. When multiplying the dpi...

    Scanned slide to 11x14?

    Here are my thoughts in addition to my first post, assuming your scanner can handle slides and negatives. Scan at the resolution that would give you 300 dpi for your print size. For negatives and slides with a 1600 dpi scan, I think you will be closer to 150 dpi, but that will still work quite...

    Those darn scratch discs

    Hi @maggie2 Have you checked out this troubleshooting video from Adobe? https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-scratch-disk-is-full.html Can you be more specific, Marg, about the free space available on each drive you designated as scratch disks and whether they are regularly hard...

    Scanned slide to 11x14?

    thanks for the details that helps a lot. Off hand, you are probably set up great for very good pictures. What epson scanner do you have and can it scan slides and negatives?

    Scanned slide to 11x14?

    I guess I'll add another tidbit from my project management background. It would help to know the scope, schedule, and resources for your project e.e. Scope - how many negative slides and prints? How many are going to be processed and converted to 11x14s? Who is the audience for the output of...

    Scanned slide to 11x14?

    Hi @R.Braverman It sounds like a fun project and also a very open-ended question. Providing more input on what you want for an end product would be helpful. Here are my quick thoughts - Pick the pictures that tell the story you want to tell. Maximizing quantity of pictures is secondary -...

    Camera Raw isn't opening for raw files from Lightroom Classic.

    hi @ArMor72 You are ahead of me on installing the new software, yet others have had your problem. I will provide a link below that covers the online problems. There are two ways to go from LR to PS and get into Adobe ACR (not the Camera Raw Filer) 1) I don't recommend this method, yet it...

    Gradient tool

    HI @DaveShooter There is one other possibility where you run into the problem you have. That is when one is using a gradient on a Layer Mask and not the actual pixels. The Layer Mask cannot hold transparency. It can only hold a single channel of information, which is just one channel of...

    Gradient tool

    Hi @DaveShooter Many factors can impact the result of multiple swipes of the gradient, whether on a single or even successive Layers. Also, other than added features for the gradient tool, how it calculates pixels and transparency is not new. So several things need to be considered (leaving...

    Camera Raw isn't opening for raw files from Lightroom Classic.

    Hi @ArMor72 You're welcome, and thanks for the clarification. You are not alone in preferring ACR over Lightroom's Develop Module. Could you provide the specific way,when you were in Lightroom, the command, process, or steps to open the file directly in ACR. I do know that if you use Show in...

    Alternatives to get Light Reflectance Values from a given photograph.

    Hi @omeride I believe you can get what you want, yet I think you would need a Photoshop Script to be productive. I will describe how it can be done and the limitations. First of all, if for the whole image or a selected area of an image, you can use the average blur filter to get a single...
