Adjust defaults in One-Step Photo Fix?
|
|
|
|
I like using the One-Step Photo Fix, especially when I have lots of snap
shots that need correction, but don't warrant the the time to make critical
adjustments to each attribute separately. However, for many of the photos
I'm working on now, the One-Step Fix turns out to be too contrasting and
seems to shift colors, especially greens toward a darker shade -- like
adding black. Since I'm now working on photos shot in rain forests and cloud
forests, this a bigger problem than usual.
Is there any way to customize the One-Step Fix utility, in this case to ease
off the contrast setting a litte? If so, is there any way to save those
settings, so I can have a choice of One-Step Fixes?
Thank you.

Thank you, Trev.
I'm a little confused. I tried the One-Step Fix script you sent, and the
effect appears identical to the factory default in PSP 9.01 on my monitor.
(I made TIFs of both versions and displayed tiled side by side. Is this
script the default that shipped with PSP 8? Unfortunately, I had to stop
using v. 8 due to some conflicts on my computer that I could never resolve.
I wonder if it is possible to edit the script in v. 8, and then "transplant"
it into v. 9. (Hey, if they can do it with genes, why not PSP scripts?)
Also, do you know if One-Step Fix script was made editable again in PSP 10
or 11. I have both of those versions, but haven't had the time or necessity
to install them.
Thanks again.

Thank you very much, Joe.
This worked beautifully. I was able to control the contrast settings to give
some needed snap to a photo shot from a small plane over a jungle. I also
saw that I was able to simply pass up some steps if they didn't necessary.
The result is a photo that has more snap with richer, but still pretty
accurate, colors, but without the artificial edge sharpness that didn't look
right when applied to the jungle foliage.
Now, I would appreciate it if you or Trev could instruct me on how to
incorporate this into PSP 9. I did the above test by opening an image, and
simply clicking on the unzipped file you sent. It would be nice to be able
to access the script from within PSP 9.
Thanks for you help and patience.

Unzip the file and place it in the Scripts-Restricted subfolder
of the My PSP Files folder (under My Documents). It will then
appear in the droplist of available scripts in the PSP Script
Toolbar. Do View > Toolbars > Script if you don't have this
toolbar in your PSP workspace.
The Script Toolbar also has an icon that looks vaguely like a
filter dialog. It allows you to toggle between running the
script interactively so you can tweak or skip the filters or
silently because you want the default settings. The icon has
a tooltip which says "Toggle Execution Mode".

I am sorry to barge in, but I have been lurking and learning too.
I know how to customize and add icons to the PSP9 toolbar. Is there a
way to add this individual script as an icon to the main toolbar?
Thanks.

"The new Script tab provides an easier way to associate a
script to a BoundScript button. These buttons can then be
dragged onto a new or existing toolbar to provide instant

Thanks Spandex. I found that but I wrote because I am having trouble
with it.
I "bound" the script to an icon and moved that to the toolbar. But what
went to the toolbar was the text, not the icon. I would prefer just the
icon and no text to save space on the toolbar. These options are grayed
out.
Is there a way to have the script on the toolbar as an icon with tooltip
(like the others) but no space-consuming text?

View > Customize. Right-click the button. Select what you want
displayed from the resulting context menu.

Thank you once more. I was away for a few days, and I'm just catching up on
my messages.
It's amazing how much I've learned from folks in the group!
