How does one use the Targeted Adjustment Tool to create contrast in Photoshop CS4?
These are the steps on how to create contrast using Targeted Adjustment Tool in Photoshop CS4: 1. Use TAT and tell Photoshop to do which are the photo we want to adjust and if we want an area to be darker or brighter. You can do this by just using your mouth and press Command-M (PC:Ctrl-M) to open the Curves dialog and click on TAT.2.
Move your cursor outside the Curves dialog and out over the part of the image you want to adjust. For example you want to make the neck of the blue heron appear darker, star by clicking-and-holding on the blue part of the neck and you will notice that the cursor turns into a hand with a two-headed arrow pointing up/down. This will tell you that dragging up/down will make the adjustment.3.
If you want to brighten for example the the background of the heron bird, just move your cursor to the lighter area and clicking-and-dragging upward to brighten that part.
Besides using Curves for color correction, this is my main tool for creating contrast, because it gives you a range of control you really can’t get any other way. Of course, in the past, you really had to know Curves inside and out to tweak individual areas of your image, but in Photoshop CS4, Adobe introduced the Targeted Adjustment Tool (or TAT for short), which lets you click-and-drag right on the image, and the tool will tweak the right part of the curve for you automatically. It’s way cooler than it sounds.
Here’s a pretty flat-looking photo that could use a Curves adjustment to bring more contrast to the photo and, as I mentioned above, we’re going to use the TAT (shown circled in red here), so we really don’t have to mess with the curve at all, we just have to tell Photoshop two simple things: (1) which area of the photo we want to adjust, and (2) if we want that area to be darker or brighter. That’s it—and we do the whole thing using just our mouse. So, start by pressing Command-M (PC: Ctrl-M) to open the Curves dialog and clicking on the TAT.
Now, move your cursor outside the Curves dialog, and out over the part of your image you want to adjust.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
