Attention: New Forum in Progress

Unfortunately, our current forum software is causing us some problems, so we have decided to turn off the posting capabilities - for now. We decided to develop our very own forum to get it just right - and it will be up and running again towards the end of May.

We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Until the new forum is available, you can still browse and read the old forums, but unfortunately not post new messages.

Thank you so much for your patience!

Autoness...
Posted in Photoshop on 4. February 2008 by Gollum16

I just got CS2 and I've been using the auto color, auto levels, auto contrast alot. My question is...in general is it a good idea to do auto levels, auto contrast, and auto color? or should you always do it manually for the best results? i know in certain cases obviously you do it manually, but for the majority of the pictures i mean, is it ok or a good idea to just do auto (as long as it doesnt make it look freakish for some reason obviously)? Thanks for your input.

RE: Autoness...
I would say it's best to get used to adjusting those settings yourself. I'm rarely satisfied with the results of the auto settings and they can spoil many a good photograph. It doesn't take that long to adjust levels, colour, contrast etc. so I would say try to get into the habit of DIY. :)
