Very Very Basic Question

[EdW]

Trial user here. Harry's videos are great. A very basic question -- how do you save an image with all the modifications? For example, I have a very satisfactory one developed from some DSLR images and processed with the ScreenTransferFuntion. So -- how do I save this non-linear result.

Sorry to be a wooden head, but I could not find this information.

You can't save the image with STF applied. That is simply a screen stretch for displaying. If you want the image saved you would use save as but using the STF function it is still linear. Using Histogram tool would make the image non-linear and you can drag the far bottom left icon on the STF onto the bottom of the histogram tool to use those settings.

right and just to be clear, after dragging STF's settings to the HistogramTransformation tool, let go and then drag HistogramTransformation's triangle to your image. at that point both the STF and the HT will be in effect and the image will most likely go all white. just hit control-a (or command-a on the mac) to remove the STF and you will be looking at the data as it really is.

Actually, I think you need to reset the STF in the bottom right (with the 'tracking' checkbox checked) for it to return to identical. If you hit Cmd-A again to auto-stretch, aren't you going to be stretching the HT'ed image even further? In my experience....

sorry you are right; control-s is what i meant to say. it's control-s on the mac as well, despite autoSTF being command-a on OSX and control-a on windows.

I'll try this, many thanks!
