Default Before and After shots using LEVELS - wanna post?

I found Scott's great tut on Levels but it seems too many pages long and the before and after shots are getting lost. Maybe Scott, and any one else of course, can come around here and see our before and after levels adjustment photos and helps us out... again! ... Thanks Scott!

Before & After (Using Levels)

Thanks I have tons of pictures to edit and Scotts was way over my pea brain it is all so confusing. That is the way I have been doing it so I guess I was not too far off. I wish I could do more tweeking I just don't understand the steps and my photoshope elements edition must be different because it does not look the same

born2snooze - I read your tutorial (great btw!) and was pleasantly surprised to learn that I've actually been using the exact same technique! It's easy, quick and works great!

I'm using a bead photography set up, and it can tend to under expose most of my images since the lights are basically fluorescent and I only use a white background. Using the "set white point" in Levels fixes that whole problem! Reds still appear a little dark, but like you said, the histogram can fix that.

Thank you Szglassy, I planned to do further tut, but never got a chance yet. Hopefully soon.

Thank you Karla!

Great! Thank you for that tutorial. I can't wait to try that when I get home. I'm forever battling with my pictures.

Default Levels

I took your image and tried to adjusted it using only levels. I opened the levels panel and selected the eyedropper tool that "sets the white point" I clicked around before I got a result that was pretty good. Then I adjusted the histogram to 86. The levels tool will work better if you tell the computer what white black and gray are. It will auto level better if you can set each of these. Mike Jordon has explained this in this post and has a picture of how you would do it. http://www.lampworketc.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=106451
