I was working through a tutorial meant to bring out details that are in shadow:
http://www.creativemac.com/2003/10_oct/tutorials/psdetails03 1021.htm
Granted the tutorial is written for PS7, but there is nothing in it but Levels and blending modes, so I thought I would be applicable to PSE.
However, I seem to get severely different results than those of the author.
One big difference is that his adjustment layers seem to automatically group with the previous layer. He does not describe grouping the layers, but his screen shots of his layers palette clearly show grouped layers.
The other, biggest, difference is the end result. Following the tutorial, I end up with a very dark image, overall — worse than what I started with, and plainly "messed up".
I don’t know if it is the case that these tools operate a bit differently in PS vs. PSE, or if there is an error in the process, or if the trouble is the nut behind the keyboard.
Any thoughts are welcome.
