So your saying that HSL Adjustment is the wrong tool? I put a rectangle yellow rectangle around the windows but they came out different shades of yellow. I would like them to be the same shade.

That might be difficult but I will try,

Obviously, I’m doing something wrong. The first image shows a tower with a number of windows. I would like the windows to be lit yellow. I selected the windows and copied them to a new pixel layer. I selected the HSL Adjustment. See second image. I can’t seem to get any colour to show in the windows. Any suggestions please, Thanks

I have an ipad air 2. About 20% of the time when I click on an operation, I get either no result or an improper result. Even though I’m new with this app, I suspect either program glitches or my ipad is too slow. Either way I can deal with it.

Thanks

Interesting but it brings up another point. Let’s say I have a Brightness adjustment set at -100 but that is not enough. If I want to reduce the Brightness further, I apparently need to add a second Brightness adjustment. Is that correct? Thanks.

When I apply an adjustment to a layer (e.g. Brightness), once it is set, it can not be modified. If you want to make another change to the Brightness, you need to add a second Brightness adjustment. Is this the way things are supposed to work? Thanks,

Thanks

Thanks. On a related issue, does the fx Studio apply to selections or only to whole layers?

It worked, thanks.

When I make a selection of an object, I would like to be able to modify its colour. Which tools could I use? Thanks. After watching a video, I get the impression that you have to use a mask to make colour changes to a selection. Is that correct?

Thanks. I need to learn more about Gradient Maps.

Thank you. The PNG idea didn’t work. I’ll try your mask suggestion.

I had an adjustment layer that affected the whole document. I moved it to its proper level.

Hi, In the attached photo, the tower layer is sitting on top of the grasses layer and doesn’t look natural. I thought of the following solution: On the grasses layer select/save the grass area that is covered by the bottom of the tower. It will be a new layer. Delete the tower parts so only the grasses show. Place the layer onto the main photo and align. In effect, I am creating a png grass only layer. Can you suggest other methods that are easier? Thanks.

I figured it out, thanks.

Here are my settings:

I’ve succeeded in setting up a gradient. I used the Fill Tool on the left. Since this is a sunset, I need to add colour. i am trying the Colour Studio, but all I get is shades of grey. Any suggestions please?

In my post, I should have included AP.

Can anyone recommend a complete, in depth tutorial on the use of gradients in AP. Thanks

Thanks. Is there a setting where images are automatically rasterised upon placing?

Ok, thanks. I’ll play with it.

Ok, lol. When you import a JPEG raster image, at what point does it become a scalable image?

A You seem to be saying that even though you are importing a JPEG raster file, AP creates a vector file from it. And it remains a vector image until you perform a destructive edit.

I was thinking about this last night and would like to clear up something. In your video you show how the image can be enlarged without losing clarity. That is before a destructive edit. But in my original example, the typical JPEG image is already rasterised when it is placed. If you enlarge it enough, it will become pixelated. This is before any edits. Please explain. Thanks.
