Chris Shearer Cooper Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Is there any way to auto-level the entire image, but base the new color range from a selection? If I select a rectangle in my (grayscale) image and then select "auto-level" it only auto-levels the selected region. Thanks! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 No plugin (or adjustment or effect that acts like a plugin) could do that, because a plugin can only modify the selected pixels. There's probably some way to achieve a similar result, though I'm fairly certain there's nothing currently like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 There is a roundabout way to achieve this: 1. Select the area 2. Adjustments -> Levels 3. click on "Auto" 4. click on "OK" 5. Undo 6. Deselect 7. Adjustments -> Levels 8. Click on OK This works because adjustments and effects remember the settings from the last time they were used. (only if you click OK, not if you click Cancel) 2 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Wow! That's pretty neat. I never noticed that Levels changes the control settings in Auto mode. I wish Indirect UI plugins could modify the controls that way. That seems like a pretty simple solution to the original request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
