Help, my Auto Level is giving me a red gradient! Most of the time when I do some color adjusting I use curves and levels. Sometimes I like to see what effect I get when clicking on, Image>Adjustment> Auto Levels and very often liked the result.
Now when I try Auto Level my image is turning red on me (a "red" gradient). I've been trying to resume the default feature and correct this problem to no avail. I haven't a clue as to why this would change on me.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong, I've never had this problem before?

Seem to be having trouble with differing shades of green and feel I would be better off having different tubes of green hues , like green-grey, green-blue, lawn grass green, etc. Is this cheating??? I seem to be inclined to maybe muddy up the greens when mixing on the palette. What are the separate shades I should purchase for some of these differing shades of green or at least could someone tell me the colours to put together for grey/green for distant greens??? Thank you.

When I was looking at CD's today to use burning photos that I have taken with my camera, I noticed there were regular CR-R and then there were CD's that said that they were Photo CD's

Is there really a difference in the quality of the image when stored on these photo CD's or is this just a way for them to charge more for the product?

I am shooting with a Canon XTI and while some of my photo's are jsut the run of the mill photos some I blow up and frame and if I can get the best quality image from a different CD I will buy them for the ones I want to blow up but if it is all the same I dont want to waste the money.

Okay, can anyone give some ideas on what to draw? I have to draw a picture where the place is a garden, with a light bulb, finger and exploding in it. It has to be something that all fits together. I was gonna do like a little world with little people in a garden and human hands looking through..if that makes any sense to you, or perhaps a dead garden...i don't know. Any suggestions?

My mother had bought this print for my grandparents at least 50 years ago. The woman was sitting at a black grand piano, the red dress she had on was very full, she was half sitting and half standing as a man in a black suit holding a violin in his right hand was lifting her in an embrace with is left arm. Does anyone know of this painting and/or artist???

According to many sources, it was painted with a bad method, napoleon's troops used it as target practice with rocks and bullets, many restoration projects and preservation methods damaged it further. Even one reference described that it was completely obliterated except for a little bit of Jesus's face.

How could such a painting be restored, to the original work? Or are we just looking at someone's interpretation of what it should have been?

One of my friends is in a drawing class and they learned how to make a drawing completely out these little inked-in dots. What exactly is this called, and where can I look up tips for learning how to do it online? Any help is appreciated.

I have been painting for many years. I am trying to loosen up on my style, but still paint in a folk-artsy realistic style but not too tight.
Any suggestions?

My mother bought me a used airbrush, and a friend of mine wants me to make her a t shirt.
what kind of paint is preferable? how does it come?
water colors? acrylics? what do i need to do to them, thin them down or something?
my airbrush came with little glass bottles with special lids that connect to the airbrush.
im not sure what brand of brush it is (i couldnt find a name) but it says "AIR-BRUSH" on the side. from pics i found on the internet, it looks like a HSENG HS-38.
so I dunno.
any help?
