Hello,
I would like to create an action that adjusts only the left boundary of the histogram (in the shadows), without moving the right boundary corresponding to the highlights. I tried to use the "auto-levels" feature in PS CS2, by specifing a cut-off threshold of 0.01% for the shadows, and 0.00% for the highlights. The problem is that CS2 still moves the cut-off boundary of the highlights to the first non-populated value at the right of the histogram. For example, with an histogram beginning at 10 and finishing at 230, auto-levels sets the boundaries at 12 or so (which is fine) and at 230 (which is not what I want). I would like auto-levels to set the boundaries at 12 and 255.
How can this be done in an action in PS CS2 ?
Thank you,
Fabrice.
