Hi,
I’m having a rather bizarre issue! What I’m going to describe happens both on my Mac at home (iBook G4) and on the PCs at work (they’re Dells, but I’m not sure what model).
I have a large group of bitmap tiff images that were scanned from microfilm. I want to adjust the images so that the parts that look washed out or very light will be darker/more visible. I’ve converted all the files to grayscale, but still am not able to adjust them (using levels, curves, filters, or by painting on layer masks) because CS2 doesn’t seem to recognize that they have histograms. When I bring up the Levels box, for example, no data shows; if I move the sliders anyway the preview of the image shows adjustment, but then when the task is completed the image goes back to looking washed-out. The really odd thing is that when I convert the images I get a dialog box that says "building histograms," and the histogram *palette* thereafter shows data. But, if I re-load the histogram in the palette and discard the cached info, it comes up blank. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this problem–or work around it so that I can adjust my images?
Thanks a lot.
Megan
