What is the best way to clear up the brightness of that horse without affecting the color?

Screen shot 2012-12-30 at 6.41.55 AM.png

Hi Matt-

Unfortunately, the image you are working with a lot of solid black color data - this means that there is not much variation in tone to work with, as you expect to. However, I have provided a few steps below for you to experiment.

1 using the quick selection tool, select only the area of the photo you want to brighten up - in this case, I chose the horse.

2. go in Select > refine edge...

3 use the tools to improve the outline to adjust your selection as needed (I would recommend clicking on the RADIUS Smart option).

4. your selection active, click the fill/adjustment layer icon and select the curves. You can select other options in this menu as well if the curves does not give you the desired effect.

5. set your curves (or other adjustments) for the look desired as you'd like.

6. with your selected adjustment layer, click on the blending Mode dropdown at the top of the layers panel, and then select lighten (Alternatively, you can try any other mode of mix that gives you the look you want or brightness).

7. below, you can see a side-by-side comparison of the images of the horse before and after. Because the black areas of the horse contains data of uniform color, there is no change. However, the bright sections of the horse became brighter and more dynamic while maintaining the tone of the original colors.

If you want more information, here are two resources advanced on the change of the brightness of a picture:

I hope this helped - if you need more help, feel free to post again. Good luck!

  • LED light - what do the colors mean and can I customize who?

    Hello, I may have a phone user bit spoiled because my previous phone was Xiamoi Mi2s with MIUI and I must tell you that this system has great customization options. You can assign different sounds to different events and notifications. Choose what color flashing LED means whatand a lot of other things. If I look right then on Xperia, there's that one about LED light option - turn on or off. I guess I have to download an app store to play to customize the colors and there reason for behavior? Thank you

    That's right, even if a few apps lets you choose the clear color of notification, such as Yahoo mail, Whatsapp, etc.

  • What is the color of the bar in disk utility?

    Using disk utility, I ran a check on my main HD and my three external drives.

    The S.M.A.R.T. status of my main HD has been "verified". External drives were 'not supported '. I guess that means that Dick Utility is unable to "verify".

    What concerns me is the color of the bar above the chart. On my main HD and two of my external hard drives, it is blue (see picture #1). However, on an external drive, it is red (see photo #2).

    I can't find any information on the color of the bar in the Apple Help. The reader has a bit more than 33% available force and seems to work correctly in

    to access the media. Do you have any idea what this could mean?

    Thank you

    Philippe

    You can see all partitions on your hard drive in this bar, and each color represents a partition. Knowing this, don't worry because this does not mean that your external drive is not working properly.

  • What is the best way to read this binary file?

    I wrote a program that acquires data from a card DAQmx and he writes on a binary file (attached file and photo). The data I'm acquisition comes 2.5ms, 8-channel / s for at least 5 seconds. What is the best way to read this binary file, knowing that:

    -I'll need it also on the graphic (after acquisition)

    -J' I need also to see these values and use them later in Matlab.

    I tried the 'chain of array to worksheet', but LabView goes out of memory (even if I don't use all 8 channels, but only 1).

    LabView 8.6

    I think that access to data is just as fast, what happens to a TDMS file which is an index generated in the TDMS file that says 'the byte positions xxxx data written yyyy' which is the only overload for TDMS files as far as I know.

    We never had issues with data storage. Data acquisition, analysis and storage with > 500 kech. / s, the questions you get are normally most of the time a result of bad programming styles.

    I'm trying to stick to the standards described just that:

    Here are a couple of questions, I'm not really sure of their responses:

    • Is it safe to use a .NET dll and make calls?
    • Is this really hide the block diagram? With the passwords in the drivers
    • Can we prevent the change

    But unsure about 1) (2) and 3) definitely are a no go if you want your library to be distributable through the network ID. The standard only allows dll in which are really developed in C, but you also need to distribute the C code as far as I understand.

    OOP isn't necessarily a problem.

    Packed library is certainly not something you want to do. They work only in the version of LabVIEW in which they were created. You hate when you decide to go with the packaged libraries requests arrive for other versions of LabVIEW and your drivers are high on all the forums of discussion as being a pain in the ass to use.
