Set press target values for images without specular highlights

Use this press targeting method if you don’t have specular highlights in your image. If you do have specular highlights, use the Levels eyedropper method.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Choose Enhance > Adjust Lighting > Levels.

    • Choose Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Levels, or open an existing Levels adjustment layer.

  2. Enter the press target values for the shadow in the left output box and the highlight in the right output box, or drag the output sliders to set the target values, then click OK.
Note: Press values are typically given as percentages of cyan, magenta yellow, and key (black)—CMYK. Photoshop Elements only supports RGB values of 0-256. So you will need to supply RGB equivalent values to enter in the Levels text boxes (for example, RGB of 10, 10, 10 may be used for shadows, and RGB of 244 may be used for highlights).
