How to reduce too much brightness on the face in Adobe Photoshop? - photoshop

On the following picture I am trying to reduce too brightness and lighting effect on the girl's face in Adobe Photoshop. I tried almost all options in Photoshop from top navigation > Image > Adjustment > but not able to reduced the highlights/lighting effect. Please guide or give me any tutorial that help me to do so.

Your image does not consist information in highlight zone. Very poor dinamic range of your camera(is this phone?). If you want edit photo for future, you will get shots in raw and looking for override higlight zone before shooting.

Taking the step to reduce over exposure before editing is an option, however what you can do is go to the filters tab. Next, you are going to want to select liquefy. This tool can detect facial features and help you make specific changes to the face. Good luck! I actually went in and fixed it using the curves tool which is also an adjustment. Lastly I made her face matte to hide the shine.

In need of a simple script or free online service to crop and reduce multiple images to 1440x810#72dpi

I know the output image size requirement is 1440 pixels by 810 pixels #72 dpi.
Problem incurred lots of software and services lock the 16x9 ratio but do not output a standard size.
I want to beable to have the cutting box to zoom in and the cropped image to always be 1440x810#72dpi.
And a feature to move coping box around in the original image would be a nice feature. I just need a working solution that is free temporarily.
Script requires upload of a high quality image and 16x9 cropping box appears over image to crop features out of image and hitting crop would set the box default to 1440x810 so definite cropping box restriction to stop when maximum threshold of conversion is met to not pixelate the output produced image.
Appreciate all the help I can get. Have a wonderful day.
I am in the process of using my android phone and a public computer hence free online service. Normally I would use my photos hope cs6 version but that is not currently available.
I will continue searching but it's like finding a needle in the haystack.
I am hoping another expert has already knows a solution.

Auto Crop Picture From Scanned Document

i am working on a project where i have to scan a lot of pages (application form) where each form is attached (pasted with glue) with application picture. So, i need to get the picture (crop only the picture) from that scanned page/document.
I have attached a sample..
i can set the exact location on the document/image but few issues with that:
1. attached/pasted image is not on same size..
2. it may be not be pasted on same place on each form
3. it may be rotated slightly..
so, i am looking for some automated process that can take out the picture correctly regardless the above issues. i assume face detection may be the tool, but i am not sure about that..
so, it would be great if any one can help me with that?
thanks in advance
any help will be highly appreciated...

Photoshop jsx image grid

What I am ultimately trying to do is to create a grid of images for print that are minor variations of the same thing (different text is all). Looking through online resources I was able to create a script that changes the text and exports all of the images necessary (several hundred). What I am trying to do now is to import all of these images into a new photoshop document and lay them all out in a grid and I can't seem to find any examples of this.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to place a file at a specific coordinate (I'm using CS5 and have the design suite so if there is a way in illustrator to do this quickly...)?
Also, I'm open to other ideas on how to do this (even other programs) easily. It's for labels so the positioning on the sheet has to be pretty precise...
The art layer object has a translate() method that takes delta x and y params. You'll need to open each image, copy it to the target document, get its current location (using artLayer.bounds) and do the math to find the deltas to position it where you want it. Your deltas can be in pixels so you'll get plenty of precision.
Check out your 'JavaScript Scripting Reference' pdf in your Adobe install directory for more details.
Ok I'm marking Anna's response as the answer because though I didn't fully test it, it seems like it should work and answers the original question with jsx. However I'm also leaving my final solution in case anyone else runs across this with the same issue and may prefer this method as well.
What I ended up doing instead is using InDesign. I figured out that it has a grid option that lets you import a number of files and place them all in an equal grid in a single command. This is almost exactly what I was looking for, except that it leaves a small border/margin in between the columns and grids and mine were designed to meet exactly.
I couldn't figure out how to make it not have the border (I have very little experience with InDesign, it may be possible). However I was able to select all my images and scale them uniformly to be the correct size, then I just selected each column and dragged it over to snap to the adjacent column and the same with rows...

Can we resize a QR-Code?

Does anyone know if we can resize a QR-Code easily by using a proper vector program OR, is the size information contained on that code, hence, we will not be able to resize without changing the code ?
Thanks in advance.
You can resize as much as you want. The information is encoded in the pattern of the data, not in the size of the dots themselves. As long as a scanner can resolve properly between light/dark, the QR code should be readable at any size.
Update 2016: If someone happens to need to upscale a QR code image in some sort of browser/webview - you might get away with a simple CSS property:
img {
image-rendering: pixelated;
}
This way the upscaled image stays sharp.
See a comparison here: http://codepen.io/erkkit/pen/GodxGX
For high resolution (vector image) QR code for printing/publishing:
Get your free QR code
Right-click-and-save OR PrintScreen the QR code
Open/insert it in Photoshop, crop the QR code, and save as *.psd file (default Photoshop format)
Open that *.psd file with Adobe Illustrator – and you get the vector QR code. DONE! :)
Don't just re-size it that will make the edges blurry. You want it to have hard edges like MS-paint or the pencil brush in Photoshop. Open the file in Photoshop and go to IMAGE - RE-SIZE IMAGE and make sure Nearest Neighbor is selecting from the bottom drop down menu before you click OK
You CAN'T, not with the free QR generators. Unless you do some Adobe Illustrator tweaks with Live Trace/Paint afterwards. The abundant free QR generators are a joke when it comes to publishing the QR code you need. Resizing an originally low resolution image (the previous comment) for publishing/printing purposes is the most rediculous statement I've seen in a while. The guy doesn't know what he is talking about.

Automated Development of Presentation with Interactivity

I am trying to identify the right tool, language, software package, or other for the automated development of presentations, where the presentation is user interactive.
The presentation will consist of images with titles and some descriptive text. Most of the time there will be 35–70 images. I would like to show each image on a separate page, slide, tab, etc. (I guess proper terminology depends on the solution.)
The images will change, but the titles will remain the same, and there will be a little bit of change to the description of each image.
After putting the presentation together, I would like the user to be able to circle and "write" on the electronic image in kind of the wax pencil sense (I previously worked in a photo lab and we worked with wax pencils on negatives all the time and would like to have kind of a similar flexibility). Moreover, I would like users to be able to add comments as well, kind of in the way Adobe PDF Professional allows, e.g. inserting bubble comments, etc.
Most importantly, I would like to be able to do this in an automated way. Right now we are using PowerPoint, but the amount of time it is taking to put an image on a slide in PowerPoint, resize it, and then set up the text is killing us. Plus, as the images change it takes tons of time to go back and update them. Thus, we would like something that is a bit faster to update images and get the feedback from our few users. Does not necessarily have to be a web hosted solution, but could be run through a browser.
Sorry this is so long and thanks for any ideas and feedback, especially if there is an existing software package solution, language that can be used, or other approach to get this done.
These days, two of the most popular are Adobe Captivate and Articulate Presenter. For service, instead of product, you can check out services like http://voicethread.com.
I don't know of any product that completely answers your requirements.
But, for similar results I use two different tools for developing the presentations and another one for drawing while presenting.
If I just want to make a presentation made of pictures and texts, and I want to automate its creation, I use irfanview http://www.irfanview.com/ with its wonderful feature for automated slideshows. I put all the images together, annotate them (I use either their filenames, or if not enought, with EXIF and comment fields) and create a slideshow, that can be compiler into an .exe file.
If I want a more elaborated presentation. With full annotation capabilities, I use Wink http://www.debugmode.com/wink/
For drawing over the screen during the presentation, I use a very old bitmap drawing program, called PC-Draw, that allows, with a hotkey, to capture the screen as a bitmap and begin drawing over it, and with another hotkey, to return to the original screen without altering the running programs at all. I have not found it anywhere in the web. However, I found similar programs just a quick google away.
All three tools are free and easy (and even fun) to use.
