I'm playing around and something funny happened. I made some adjustments and when I went to flatten the image, some of the adjustments diappeared. Check it out. Any ideas?
Thank you for your response! I appreciate your time.
I'm curious - this has never happened to me before and I was doing similar adjustmenets - in fact even more drastic - to other pictures last night with no problems. They were also images of cars.
Also, if I zoom in to 100% while doing the adjustments, I wouldn't know if I liked the look of it on the image?
I'm not trying to be difficult. I'm just an amateur who is confused.
The change that occurs after I flatten the image is quite a change. I see a large difference. A lot of the shine I was trying to put on the lights, chrome and such is gone. That is very evident at 19%. Any ideas?
Yes that is why viewing the image at 100% (actual pixels) is a good idea before flattening.
Ideally one would just be able to see the whole image at 100% view and make the adjustments, but of course with a laptop or low resolution screen, that's really not possible.
The change your seeing occurs because at views other than 100% view photoshop elements uses interplolation to show the image which can lead to inaccuracies in the image such as your seeing particularly at views below 50%.
You might consider getting a external 4k high resolution monitor.
