Contrast adjustment in photo editor
The shot below nicely illustrates a problem I keep encountering - lens flare. I've seen
some examples on this site where people did a very nice job of getting rid of it in
Photoshop.
I consider myself fairly PS-savvy, but this is something I don't know how to do. I tried a
large feathered mask and then played with hue and contrast adjustment layers, but it
didn't work.
Does anyone know how to do this? Feel free to play with it, as long as you can tell me
what you've done.
RE:
I think you're doing the right thing. Sometimes if the flare is on the sky I'll just use
the patch tool to replace it with some normal sky. But using a big feathered selection is
probably the way to go for this one.
As you can see this big flare is both lighter and more orange than the surrounding water.
I'd make the color and tone adjustments with curves. I'd do it by decreasing the red and
increasing the blue (which takes away yellow). Decreasing the red will correspondingly
increase cyan, and you may want to decrease some green from it as well. Lastly darken it
by dipping the RGB curve.
RE:
First make a feathered selection and copy to a new layer.
Then try these settings (I tried it on the image with decent results):

Photoshop Elements is a color adjuster based
photo editor
New in the latest version of Photoshop Elements is a color adjuster based on skin tone.
This allows you to correct the skin color first, then Elements will automatically adjust
other colors accordingly. A review at PC Magazine notes an improved cropping tool and
slide-show creator, which now allows users to zoom and pan for a movie-like effect with
still photos. Like Corel Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop Elements includes an excellent
photo-organizer. Although reviews at CNet give both photo editors similar scores, testers
do say that Elements can be a system hog, especially when working with RAW photo files.
Windows users must have some version of Windows XP. Photoshop Elements won't work with
older systems. Although the recently released, Elements 4 is only compatible with PC
computers. Photoshop Elements 3 is compatible with Mac OS X version 10.2.8 or later.
