Fixing photos in photoshop9/24/2023 Click and drag the layer called "levels 1" to the copy icon down on the bottom of the panel, and it will create a copy of the layer on top of the layer stack. Since the highlights and shadows adjustment cannot be done on its own layer (not sure why Photoshop didn't make it part of the adjustments you can choose separately), we will copy our layer so that we can keep it separate anyway. Then click on the small arrow on the top right menu to get the drop down menu to select "merge layers." This will merge the two highlighted layers together. Highlight the adjustment layer, and while holding the shift key, click on the layer below it. To make this simple, we are going to merge the two layers we are working on to go forward with the next step. Once you get used to this method, you really won't be using the alt/option tip, you will get a feel for when you hit the edge of the histogram/graph. So the same with the white button and on the other channels. As you move the button towards the graph, little spots will start to appear on your screen indicating when you hit the graph.stop moving your button when the little highlights begin to appear. TIP: If you want to "see" when you hit the edge of the graph, hold down your alt/option key as you click on the little button, and the image will turn black. Slide the far left (black) button towards the center until it hits the edge of the graph and then pull the far right button (white) into the center until it also hits the other edge of the graph.ĭo this same thing on each of the other channels for green and blue. This will bring up the red channel's histogram (graph) and the adjustment buttons for this channel. If you click on the "RGB" icon, it will drop down with the red, green, and blue channels to choose.Ĭlick on the "red" channel first. Next you are going to make adjustments to the separate color channels in the levels adjustment panel. If you don't see it, go to the "windows" menu at the top menu bar and select it in the drop down menu. You should also see the levels adjustment panel appear up above in your panels. Select the one called levels, and Photoshop will automatically place a levels adjustment layer just above the layer you have currently highlighted (in our case, it will be placed on the top of the layer stack.) This will bring up a series of adjustment choices for you to use. However, we are going to choose to make a levels adjustment on its own layer by selecting the levels adjustment tool just down below by selecting the half white/half black icon on the bottom of the panel. You can see that the layer of the image is highlighted in blue, which means anything we do will actually be done to that layer. So let's make a levels adjustment layer to sit on its own on the top of the layer stack so it will affect the layers below it. Our ideal process should be non-destructive, meaning we want to be able to change the things we do in case we don't like the changes and keep the original image in tact.
