Overexpose with blown out highlight,  there is no more data to play with. If if may, my two cents are: go for underexpose instead when you are in situation like that, at least you will have data to play with. For Exposure Metering: go for spot metering.  Depending of your camera model, as a exemple in the setting of like in the Nikon D850 you also have that great option of [ Highlight-Weighted Metering } it's especially for those types of photography, such as theater, concert, or situation, of a bright subject and dark background. Of course ISO is your friend also the quality of your lens at least with a opening of f2.8, noise will be more present in the dark area that you can fix easily in post production. ... View more

You could use the Vanishing Point filter. I would isolate the subject on a separate layer, and feather the top edge of he paneling. Then the clone stamp in the Vanishing Point will follow the perspective. I'd recommend using a small soft brush, working in sections, changing the sample point frequently to deal with the differences in lighting. ... View more

Thanks for these links. The issue is pretty clear from that first post: When using the Import PDF dialog, the Image Size Width and Height have a maximum value of 32000 pixels.    This value would, of course, be the product of the pdf document dimensions and the Resolution. The default Resolution is 300 with Inches as the measure. Which means with 106.666" you would end up at 32000 pixels. To get higher dimensions you have to reduce the resolution.   The distortion would seem to occur because the Import PDF dialog allows dimensions to change non-proportionally. And when one dimension maxes out when increasing size, the other one can continue to change independently.  If both dimensions are maximized by the size change, you would end up with a distored, square document.   My team doesn't work on this part of Photoshop, so there is plenty I don't know, but my guess is this dialog is extremely old, which is why the pixel limit is so low compared to what Photoshop is capable of. When I was attempting to replicate the issue, I was just placing the PDF directly into a new document sized to what I wanted to work with. This workflow does not run into this same sort of issue, so it is a good workaround. I'll reach out to the team responsible, though, and see what more we can learn. ... View more

Hang on a sec, Beth. JPEG, JPEG2000, and JPEG Stereo (whaaa?) are on the list of formats available when I use File>Save As -- as well as 13 other formats. Like Dave suggests, something's off with your RAW files. Which camera are they coming from, and are you opening the Raw files in another app before Photoshop? By @LAMY2017   If your file is 16 bpc, then this would be because you have Legacy Save As enabled in your File Handling Preferences/Settings.   Otherwise you would have to tick the box to save a copy to make JPEG available as a file format option from a 16 bpc original.   While on the topic of bit-depth, it should be noted that HDR 32 bpc requires tone mapping to 16 or 8 bpc, as this isn't "silently" performed in the background when using Save as it is with Export As. ...

The two main goals here are: 1. Isolate the region that’s differently faded. 2. Reverse the fading to match the other region.    #1 is addressed with a mask. Because the faded area is an oval, it’s easy to match that using a mask drawn with the Elliptical Marquee tool or Ellipse tool.   #2 is easier if you understand why the area inside the oval mat faded. It was because of dyes in the photo print fading at uneven rates over many years. Light fades the yellow dye first (which is why the image shifted toward blue), then the cyan (which is why the image also shifts toward red), and finally the magenta dye. You can apply knowledge about dye fading to try and reverse it manually using Curves or Levels adjustments.   I gave it a quick try, as shown in the demo below. I found that the oval is slightly rotated, probably because the photo was put behind the mat slightly rotated.   My solution uses a single Curves adjustment layer with an elliptical vector mask. The mask hides edits outside the ellipse I drew. In the Properties panel for the Curves adjustment layer, edits are made to each of the curves (luminance, and the Red, Green, and Blue channels) until the colors inside the ellipse match the colors outside the ellipse.   It isn’t perfect, because it looks like there the fading also varied from top to bottom. For example, the color of the hands looks OK but the face is too green. That could be addressed with another adjustment layer with a gradient mask applied to it to control how the correction varies across the image.   I used two pairs of Eyedropper tool color samplers to report the color values at two different levels inside and outside the ellipse. As I edit curves, watching these values change in the Info panel helps to understand which way to drag the points. (Monitoring the per-channel color values is a traditional method that goes back decades.)   There are also two more things to be done, which I did not go on to do. After matching up the colors, the overall color balance is unnatural so that still needs to be corrected. It would also be a good idea to add one last empty layer on top, then on that layer, drag the Spot Healing Brush tool set to Sample All Layers over the visible mat border and any scratches or other damage, to repair them.   This method uses no AI, but there’s nothing wrong with trying to fix the damage with Generative Fill as Trevor did, and the Remove tool if you run into something the Spot Healing Brush tool can’t handle.   ...
