Dragging up or right increases values; dragging down or left decreases values. Sliders for more than one color may be affected when you
drag with the Targeted Adjustment tool. Selecting the Grayscale Mix Targeted Adjustment tool converts the image to grayscale.
2. To make tone curve adjustments using the Targeted Adjustmenttool
, click it in the toolbar and choose Parametric Curve. Then, drag in
the image.
The Parametric Curve Targeted Adjustment tool adjusts the Highlights, Lights, Darks, or Shadows curve region based on the values in the
image where you click.
The keyboard shortcut T toggles the last Targeted Adjustment tool you used.
Tone a grayscale image
Use the controls in the Split Toning tab to color a grayscale image. You can add one color throughout the tonal range, such as a sepia
appearance, or create a split tone result, in which a different color is applied to the shadows and the highlights. The extreme shadows and
highlights remain black and white.
You can also apply special treatments, such as a cross-processed look, to a color image.
1. Select a grayscale image. (It can be an image that you converted to grayscale by selecting Convert To Grayscale in the HSL / Grayscale
tab.)
2. In the Split Toning tab, adjust the Hue and Saturation properties for the highlights and shadows. Hue sets the color of the tone; Saturation
sets the magnitude of the result.
3. Adjust the Balance control to balance the influence between the Highlight and Shadow controls. Positive values increase the influence of the
Highlight controls; negative values increase the influence of the Shadow controls.
Editing HDR images in Camera Raw
In Camera Raw 7.1 or later, you can work with 16-, 24-, and 32-bit floating point images--often referred to as HDR (high dynamic range images).
Camera Raw opens TIFF and DNG format HDR images. Make sure that the images are in process version 2012. (See Process Versions.)
You can use the Basic tab controls to edit HDR images. The Basic tab Exposure control has an expanded range when working with HDR images
(+10 to -10).
When you are done editing, click Done or Open Image to open the image in Photoshop. The image opens as a 16-bit or 8-bit image, depending
on how you have the Workflow Options set.
To open an HDR image in Camera Raw:
In Bridge, select the image and choose File > Open In Camera Raw. In mini-Bridge, right-click the image (Ctlr-click on Mac) and choose
Open With > Camera Raw.
