PS CS: Color replacement tool and red eye.. grey instead of black
by Comfortably Numb » Thu, 18 Dec 2003 05:38:41 GMT
Hello,
I have tried fro sometime to figure out why does the color replacement
tool replace the red in the eyes with greay not black. Does anyone know how
to resolve this? I followed the tutorials that came with PS CS in vain.
Thank you for your time and help.

>I have tried fro sometime to figure out why does the color replacement
Because it replaces a color with another color of the same LIGHTNESS. A bright
red becomes a light gray; a dark red becomes a dark gray; a very dark red
becomes a very dark gray; and so on.

it would?/

Usually the idea is to make a selection of the redeyed pupil (remember
to feather), then desaturate it moderately, and with the
lighten/darken adjustment bring the pupil to the desired black level
(not often pure black), then add the highlight over the visible
highlight that remains after darkening. Following this, I highlight
the whites of the eyes, desaturate somewhat and lighten them up
moderately. Another good idea is to select the inner corners of the
eye and redden them (hue adjust) for a more appealing look (believe it
or not).

It's easier to select the pupil and use Curves to darken it without touching
the hilight; that way, you don't need to add the hilight back.

Yes, you're right - in fact I used to do it that way, and it's
probably better. Trouble is with Photoshop there's always a dozen
ways to skin a cat.

1.Red eye problem in CS, pale grey instead of black
There has to be some simple solution I'm looking past - correcting red
eye in a jpg, nothing complex, no layers, no other work on the image,
follow the help file to the letter, select black in the color picker
and when I correct it comes out light-mid grey in the pupil area
rather than black. Almost like opacity was low, but I can't find any
slider to correct this.????
Thanks in advance,

2.grey instead of black red eye correction
I've been using PS CS for a couple years and have tried various red eye
correction approaches with varying degrees of success. I keep thinking
things could be better... The approach in the Photoshop CS Help seems
reasonable but I end up with grey instead of black. I found reference to
this happening with animals but humans?? Thoughts?

3.Color replacement using PS CS
Hi all. I've edited a photo using Photoshop CS. After applying the
Cutout filter, It now only contains 4 colors (black, white & 2 shades
of grey). Is there a simple way of editing one of the colours so the
light grey now appears e.g. yellow?
Thanks for any help you can give.
