View Full Version : photoshop "gradual" brightening 10-11-2004,
01:29 PM A typical problem with panoramas is that the upper part
of the picture is too bright, while the lower is too dark. You
can help yourself with the "magic wand", of course, but so you
get nasty "steps" of brightness. I was thinking if it was
possible to do, let's say, two variations of the same picture:
the brighter and the darker one (created with "curves", f.e.).
Then, to blend them in such a manner that the upper part of the
resulting picture has 100 percent of the bright picture's
pixels, the lower part 100 % of the darker one, and the pixels
in the middle of the picture progressively, gradually changing
(with an interpolation, let's say) from one extreme to the
other. Hope I cleared what I mean. In case, let me know, I'll
try to explain better. Any suggestions? 10-11-2004, 01:52 PM

ground). - Arrange them into 2 diff
