| 257431 | 2004-08-02 03:53:00 | Hi I have a number of old sepia photos that I have so far removed the creases etc but would love to do something about the clarity. I was reading a book called Photoshop CS (now wondering what the CS is?) that talks about Image > Adjustments > Shadow/Highlight but my version doesn't have the shadow/highlight option to do it. Would appreciate any help with this mission. cheers as always rock :) |

| 257432 | 2004-08-02 05:23:00 | Hi rockwood, Adobe Photoshop CS is the latest version of Adobe's flagship image editing product Photoshop. Photoshop is an industry-standard high-end image editing program, and is widely used by professionals and home users alike. The CS stands for "Creative Suite", part of a package of Adobe products including Photoshop, Pagemaker, Indesign, and many others. The version number is actually 8.0. As far as clarity, There should be a similar function availible in previous versions - which version do you have? If you don't, you can download a 30-day fully-working trial version of Photoshop CS for PC and Mac from the Adobe website - be warned though that it is quite large. The program is quite expensive to buy too. |

| 257433 | 2004-08-02 08:21:00 | Don't wish to hijack this thread but it is related. We downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 trial, to have a look at it. It unzipped with a desktop Icon with the name "pse2trial.exe". hover we cannot open it. Any ideas??? PJ |

| 257434 | 2004-08-02 08:30:00 | Try a trial of PaintShopPro. One click photo enhance. Buy it if it works for you. Other than that use photoshop and get the manual and learn. I have photoshop 7 here but mostly I use PaintShop Pro 8. For me it works and is cheaper. |

| 257435 | 2004-08-02 08:37:00 | Have a play with the filters, unsharp mask, desreen, etc. Save the original scanned image as a PSD file beforehand (File menu > Save As) to avoid degradation by editing JPEG files. PJ, have you tried to start it from Start > Programs > ? If that works ok or by double clicking on the exe file in C:\Program File\Adobe\Photoshop Elements (or whatever the path is) then right click the shortcut and hit the Change Target button and browse to the PSE exe file.

| 257440 | 2004-08-03 00:31:00 | Hi again What a super lot of replies for this old Grandma...I'm going to beat this no matter what!!! I am playing around with collaging these photos also but after I save as PSD twice even with an extra digit after the PSD e.g. 5 or 6 (for me) ...when I open them they come up with the question Embedded Profile Mismatch ....does not match current RGB work. space it chooses for me Discard the embedded profile >OK then I can work on it. what are they talking about? by the way yes I have bought expensive 'how to' books but I think its also by doing and asking. cheers rock :) |
