CS3/Lightroom Migration from Elements

Greetings:

I am in the process of migrating from Photoshop Elements to CS3 and Lightroom, and working on overcoming what looks like a fairly steep learning curve.

Do any of you Photoshop junkies know if there is a routine in CS3 or Lightroom that is the equivalent of Elements' Quick Fix> Lighting> Levels/Contrast to quickly adjust colors underwater?

Thanks!

I haven't used Elements, but if you do:

Image > Adjustments > Auto Levels

does this achieve the same effect that you're looking for?

Hi:

I find that this darkens the image quite a bit. The Image> Adjustments> Contrast/Color seems to work best, but I then need to lighten it up a bit. This step was pretty "idiot proof" in Elements, and I have a feeling there is an adjustment somewhere that I need to togel on.

I am also really curious if Lightroom can do the same thing. It is a very interesting program.

Does Auto Colors (in the same window) behave any differently for the image in question?

I believe that in Lightroom you could adjust one image using the develop screen options, and then copy to the other images; or even better save as a develop preset to use when needed.

There are auto options in the Library section of Lightroom also that you could try.

Good luck,

Kathy
