Stealth3kpl Posted March 17, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 17, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) OK, lets all have some input. This is what I've been doing recently with ColorPerfect. Please tell us what you do and where I may be going wrong. I get my linear raw scan as described here. I open it up in CP Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Sometimes I toggle to clear CPs first guess. Initial>Previous>Clear. I may adjust the exposure at this point by selecting BLACK. If exposure looks ok I'll select AUTOCOLOR and click on something grey and slide the slider up until the colour looks good. Now I want to stop blocking up of the shaddow areas so I select B POINT and slide the slider down until SHADDOW DEGREE CLIP reduces to zero. This takes all the contrast away. To put the contrast back I select WHITE and slide the slider until contrast looks good. Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Stealth3kpl Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share #2 Posted March 17, 2011 This brings all the shaddow clipping back but now the drop down shaddow clip function works and I usually find there is no clipping at 4 but I sometimes select 6 or 7 just to ensure no clipping. Now I adjust highlight clipping with the drop down to the right. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! I now take the image back into photoshop to adjust white/black clipping, adjust saturation and sharpen For comparison, this is the same frame adjusted by levels alone bypassing CP Any tips?

plasticman Posted March 17, 2011 Share #3 Posted March 17, 2011 Tips? 1. this is exactly what I do now - after our discussion last week. I'm actually sorting old scans to see which of them need the shadow clipping treatment, which I'd never quite got right before (actually considering sending Mr Dunthorn some feedback about how he's implemented the shadow tails, in fact) 2. Great image and great example workflow! Thanks! *and PS: why would you think something might be wrong when the final result is demonstrably great?
