Hornets' Playoff Run Brings Team Close To Breaking Even
Published May 13, 2008
|Hornets Could Come Close To Breaking
Even With Extended Playoff Run
BAYOU BOOM: In New Orleans, Jaquetta White writes anything with the Hornets' logo or their players' names "has become increasingly popular." The "most popular seller has been anything with [G] Chris Paul's name and number on it." Because Paul's jerseys have been "hard to come by lately, jersey T-shirts are now hot sellers." NBA figures indicate that the Hornets are the "third top-selling team for merchandise" during the playoffs, as opposed to the regular season when the team was not in the top 10. Also, Paul's No. 3 jersey is the "third most popular" at NBAStore.com and the NBA Store in N.Y., up from 15th during the regular season. Facility Merchandising Inc. GM Wally Cox, whose company operates the team's store in New Orleans Arena, said that division championship merchandise is the biggest seller at the shop (New Orleans TIMES-PICAYUNE, 5/13).

The lack of robust systems for monitoring quality in healthcare has been highlighted. Statistical process control (SPC) methods, utilizing the increasingly available routinely collected electronic patient records, could be used in creating surveillance systems that could lead to rapid detection of periods of deteriorating standards. We aimed to develop and test a CUmulative SUM (CUSUM) based surveillance system that could be used in continuous monitoring of clinical outcomes, using routinely collected data. The low Apgar score (5 minute Apgar score < 7) was used as an example outcome.
A surveillance system based on the Observed minus Expected (O-E) as well as the 2-sided Log-Likelihood CUSUM charts was developed. The Log-Likelihood chart was designed to detect a 50% rise (deterioration) and halving (improvement) in the odds of low Apgar scores. Baseline rates were calculated from data for 2001 to 2004, and were used to monitor deliveries for 2005. Deliveries for nulliparous and multiparous women were monitored separately. All analyses were retrospective.
The CUSUM system detected periods of increased rates of low Apgar scores for each of the nulliparous and multiparous cohorts. The overall rate for 2005 was eventually found to be 0.67%, which was higher than the baseline reference rate of 0.44% from 2001 to 2004.
CUSUM methods can be used in continuous monitoring of clinical outcomes using routinely collected data. Used prospectively, they could lead to the prompt detection of periods of suboptimal standards.
Calls for robust systems for monitoring healthcare outcomes have been made [1]. The increasing use of electronic patient records in healthcare presents an opportunity for the development and application of real-time monitoring systems that can lead to the rapid detection of adverse trends in healthcare. Statistical process control (SPC) methods, developed and long used in quality control systems in the manufacturing industry [2], could become central to such efforts. We describe the design and retrospective application of a surveillance system in the continuous monitoring of clinical outcomes using an SPC tool known as the CUmulative SUM (CUSUM) chart, using routinely collected data. We used a neonatal clinical outcome, the low Apgar score (5 minute Apgar score < 7), as an example outcome.
The CUmulative SUM (CUSUM) chart
The CUSUM chart method, first described by Page in 1954[3], is based on sequential monitoring of a cumulative performance measure over time. With several developments and adaptations, it has emerged as a suitable method for monitoring healthcare outcomes [4-8]. We selected and used the "Observed minus Expected" (O-E) and the Log-likelihood CUSUM chart methods in designing our surveillance tool.
Observed – Expected (O-E) CUSUM chart
This form of the CUSUM chart is a graphical representation of a running total of the difference between the number of observed adverse events and that expected according to a specified baseline reference rate. It is mathematically defined as:
where Xt is the outcome measurement for subject t (Observed), and X0 is the baseline reference rate (Expected), hence O – E. In binary outcome measures, Xt equals 0 for a successful or desired outcome, and 1 for an adverse outcome. The chart is a plot of the cumulative sum, Ct, against t. Desired outcomes result in downward steps, and upward steps are produced when adverse outcomes are encountered. When the outcome rate is consistent with the baseline reference rate, the plot runs randomly about the horizontal line at zero. Although in its simple form, the O – E chart has no limits and therefore does not give a signal if and when the rate changes have become statistically significant, it serves to illustrate an overall general trend in the rates of the adverse outcome monitored.
The Log Likelihood CUSUM chart
The Log Likelihood CUSUM chart is a probability testing procedure that sequentially assesses whether the observed adverse outcome rate is consistent with a specified baseline reference rate. Each subject is given a weight Wt, which is obtained as follows [7];
where Pt is the baseline reference rate for subject t. ORA is a pre-specified odds ratio under the alternative hypotheses.
If desired, a two-sided CUSUM chart can be designed, where the upward chart is designed to detect an increase in the adverse outcome rate (ORA > 1), while the downward chart is designed to detect a reduction in the adverse outcome rate (ORA < 1). In the upward chart, is plotted against t, where . The downward CUSUM plots against t, where . These CUSUM charts are thus restricted to always stay above or below zero, respectively.
Limits are determined and placed, with the CUSUM chart considered to signal when such a limit is crossed. The "signal" is an indication of sufficient evidence that the adverse outcome rate is no longer consistent with the baseline level. When this happens, the monitoring process is stopped to allow for appropriate previously agreed action to be taken. This response begins with checking and confirming the accuracy of the data before further investigations and subsequent changes are introduced. After this, monitoring is continued, either with the settings unchanged or with changes made as appropriate.
Limits have an inter dependence with the Average Run Length (ARL). The out-of control average run length (OC-ARL) is the average number of subjects required before the CUSUM chart signals when the level of performance is unacceptable, and the in-control average run length (IC-ARL) is the average number of consecutive subjects required for the CUSUM chart to signal despite the true rate being at an acceptable level.
The clinical outcome: The low Apgar score
We selected a typical neonatal clinical outcome, the low Apgar score (5 minute Apgar score < 7), as an example outcome. The Apgar score is a convenient shorthand for reporting the status of newborn babies as well as the effect of resuscitation[9]. It is a zero to ten (0 – 10) aggregate score based on 5 parameters assessed in nearly all babies born in UK hospitals as well as the rest of the world. The low Apgar score (5 minute Apgar score < 7), has been identified as a "key outcome" to be used in assessing the role and impact of Electronic Fetal Monitoring (EFM) guideline [10], produced by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) have also included it in a "trigger list" of outcomes to be monitored using the adverse incident reporting system [11]. It is also one of the components of the Adverse Outcome Index (AOI), a ten outcome system recently proposed for use in the assessment of quality of care in delivery units in the US [12].
Southmead Hospital, a District General Hospital (DGH) in Bristol with around 5000 deliveries a year, reported a 50% reduction in the rate of low Apgar scores in a subset of term (>37 weeks gestation) deliveries, following the introduction of regular training of all labour ward staff in the management of obstetric emergencies[13]. Their low Apgar score rate, which had been 0.86% in the 1998 to 1999 period, decreased to 0.44% after the introduction of the training programme in 2000. With new standards achieved, Southmead Hospital's data were ideal for testing a surveillance system that could be used in prospective monitoring of such clinical outcome in maternity units in the UK. Such a system would provide early warnings when rates of adverse outcomes are seen to be rising.
Approval for the project was obtained from Southmead Hospital local research ethics committee. All analyses were carried out using STATA software version 8.0 (StataCorp, Texas, USA). Data were obtained from the Stork maternity information system used at this hospital, with the data from 2001 to 2004 used to derive baseline reference rates which were used in designing systems for monitoring deliveries in 2005. We included term (>37 weeks gestation), singleton, cephalic presenting live deliveries, and excluded all elective caesarean sections and home deliveries: the same inclusion and exclusion criteria used by Draycott et al[13].
Although the data analyses were all carried out retrospectively, a prospective scenario was created by serially inspecting the data taking into account the date and time of birth. Whenever a signal occurred, the process was stopped to allow for appropriate evaluation. In prospective monitoring, this would trigger an investigation into the cause of the signal, followed by appropriate corrective action. The next phase of monitoring would then follow.
Reference rates (baseline standards)
The overall rate of low Apgar scores for 2001 to 2004 was found to be 0.44% (Table 1), the same as that published by Draycott et al[13]. An attempt to derive adjusted estimates of the risk of low Apgar from these data, using logistic regression found only "parity status" to be statistically significant. The final model obtained was however of a poor fit (R2 = 0.009), and was not used. Stratified analyses were then carried out for the two groups, the nulliparous and the multiparous women. The baseline risks of low Apgar scores for these separate groups were 0.60% for nulliparous and 0.29% for multiparous women (Table 1). The CUSUM charts were then applied to the respective 2005 deliveries data separately.
Table 1. Estimates of the probability (risk) of low Apgar under the null and alternative hypotheses
CUSUM Chart settings
Two-sided Log-Likelihood CUSUM charts were used, with the upward chart designed to detect a 50% increase (ORA = 1.5) and the downward charts designed to detect halving (ORA = 0.5) of the odds of low Apgar scores. Determination of the unacceptable outcome rates, and hence the value of ORA for the Upward CUSUM as well as the limits took into account the results presented by Draycott et al, where the rates of low Apgar scores decreased from 0.86% to 0.44%[13]. This new overall rate of 0.44% (1 in 227) was regarded as the desired baseline rate which we wished to maintain, or indeed improve on. For the 2001 to 2004 data, we found the separate corresponding rates to be 0.29% (1 in 334) and 0.60% (1 in 167) for the multiparous and nulliparous women respectively. These, as well as the predicted rates under alternative hypotheses are illustrated in Table 1.
The CUSUM charts limits were placed at +1 and -1. A simulation approach was used to evaluate the in-control and out-of-control ARLs for these settings. The relevant ARLs are presented in Table 2, with corresponding values for limits at +1.5 and -1.5 also shown for comparison.
Table 2. Log Likelihood CUSUM chart performance – limits and corresponding ARLs
Where necessary, conversions between the odds and probability (risks) of low Apgar were made using the following formulae;
Out of a total of 18581 deliveries in 2001 to 2004, 15055 (81.02%) met the inclusion criteria and were used in the generation of baseline reference rates of low Apgar scores. There were 5010 deliveries in 2005, and 4028 (80.40%) of them were included and were thus monitored.
Nulliparous women
The O – E CUSUM chart (Figure 1) shows that the rate of low Apgar scores for nulliparous women was generally higher in 2005 than in 2001 to 2004. Two upward CUSUM signals were observed at the 755th and 1387th deliveries (Figure 2). Table 3 shows a summary of results from the different phases of monitoring for nulliparous women. The rates of low Apgar scores during the two periods leading to signals were 0.93% and 0.95%, respectively. The overall low Apgar scores rate for nulliparous deliveries for the whole of 2005 was 0.81%.

Table 3. Nulliparous deliveries: Details of alarms and action taken
Multiparous women
The O – E CUSUM chart for multiparous women (Figure 3) shows that the rate of low Apgar scores was generally higher in 2005 than in 2001 to 2004. There were two signals at the 393rd and the 811th deliveries (Figure 4), with respective low Apgar score rates of 1.02% and 0.96% at each period. Table 4 summarises results from monitoring multiparous deliveries. The low Apgar scores rate for multiparous women for the whole of 2005 was 0.53%.
We have shown that a CUSUM based surveillance system can be used in monitoring healthcare outcomes, using routinely collected data. The O – E CUSUM chart provided a visual representation of the general trends in rates, while the Log-likelihood CUSUM chart provided ongoing formal statistical evaluations after each delivery, comparing the "current" rate with the baseline standard (reference) rate. Upward signals were observed, and the low Apgar score rates were confirmed to have risen significantly above expected rates. If such a system had been in prospective use at the time, detection of these periods could have been an opportunity for remedial action, potentially preventing some of the subsequent cases that were observed. Overall, there were 27 cases of low Apgar scores observed during the year, ten more than the number that would be expected from standard baseline rate of 0.44%.
The occurrence of a signal does not necessarily imply deterioration in performance. A signal indicates a change in the outcome rate, the cause of which can only be determined through subsequent investigations. All investigations should begin with checking the data for accuracy before taking any further steps, and for the results to be reliable the data need to be accurate. The quality of routinely collected data in the NHS has been found to vary from place to place. Data contained in one of the maternity information systems used in the UK has been shown to be of high quality [14,15], in direct contrast to data from other specialties [16]. Efforts at improving the quality of data should therefore be prioritised if the benefits of methods such as the CUSUM are to be realised.
The CUSUM technique has several methodological characteristics that should make it perform better than the commonly used healthcare quality control tools such as incident reporting and clinical audit, or indeed any other methods that report aggregate results. Unlike adverse incident reporting which has been shown to be incomplete and insensitive [17,18], the complete inspection of all relevant data ensures that no cases are missed. The retention of memory of recent results allows the CUSUM to detect even the small persistent shifts in rates which are otherwise easily missed. Unlike aggregate methods where poor runs can be compensated for and hidden by the existence of excellent results from elsewhere, the serial and continuous nature of data inspection allows the CUSUM to detect both good and bad runs separately as they occur, providing an opportunity for corrective action.
In common with all statistical tests, the CUSUM technique is associated with false positive and false negative states. A false positive is when the CUSUM gives an alarm when in actual fact performance is at an acceptable level and the rate of the poor outcomes has not changed. A false negative state exists when no alarms occur in the presence of suboptimal performance. The choice and placement of chart limits determines which of the two states is more likely to occur, and reducing the likelihood of one increases that of the other. This is connected to the determination of the ARL, with an ideal CUSUM design being one where the OC-ARL is short, and the IC-ARL is sufficiently long. In monitoring healthcare outcomes, a more sensitive system, i.e. one with shorter OC-ARL is to be preferred. In our situation, the low frequency of adverse outcomes as well as the small absolute differences between the desired and the undesirable rates places greater emphasis on greater sensitivity (hence lower limits). Higher limits could easily allow a return to the previous rates without this change being detected. In summary, for the nulliparous deliveries, there would be a signal after an average of 1730 deliveries, even if the rate of low Apgar scores had not increased (Table 2). For multiparous deliveries, the corresponding value is 3500. Corresponding ARL values for limits at +1.5 and -1.5 are also shown for comparison.
Case-mix adjustment
Adjustment for case-mix is an important development to be added to the CUSUM methodology, and should ideally be used. Care is however required as risk-adjustment can be associated with a number of problems. Firstly, poorly fitting models may result from issues such as the absence of data on an important confounder. Secondly, the shelf life of even the best fitting models may be limited due to the dynamism of healthcare, where groups previously found to be at high risk of a certain outcome can quickly change to a different level of risk due to changes in practice.
In our study, a poorly fitting risk adjusted model was obtained and has not been used. Given the low event rate of our outcome, the large uncertainty in the model predictions could overshadow the changes in the rate of low Apgar scores. Adjustment through stratification of subjects into more homogeneous groups (nulliparous and multiparous) was considered an appropriate alternative option and was used here. Stratification, however, has its own disadvantages. The number of subjects in the groups being monitored is reduced and as a result, the power to detect small changes with any certainty, especially with a low event rate, is reduced. Increasing the number of groups that have to be simultaneously monitored results in increased risks of false signals due to problems of multiple testing[19]. In our case, a large number of deliveries were available and they were stratified to only two groups.
A CUSUM based surveillance system can be used in continuous monitoring of clinical outcomes such as the low Apgar score, using the readily available "routinely collected data". This system could allow hospitals opportunities to improve standards of care for the patients in their care. Further research in a prospective setting is however required in order to fully evaluate these tools. Such evaluations should address the practicalities of using such systems as well as their clinical and cost effectiveness before wider uptake is advised.

Question of Loyalty Gen Billy Mitchell & the Court Martial That Gripped the Nationby Douglas Waller
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
It had all the ingredients of a movie drama:a scandal that grips Washington and touches the White House; bitter battles and backroom intrigue at the highest levels of the U.S. military; glamorous women who make or break the careers of powerful men; a high-stakes trial with a celebrity defendant who captures the nation's attention ...
A Question of Loyalty plunges into the seven-week Washington trial of Gen. William "Billy" Mitchell, the hero of the U.S. Army Air Service during World War I and the man who proved in 1921 that planes could sink a battleship. In 1925 Mitchell was frustrated by the slow pace of aviation development, and he sparked a political firestorm, accusing the army and navy high commands, and by inference the president, of treason and criminal negligence in the way they conducted national defense. He was put on trial for insubordination in a spectacular court-martial that became a national obsession during the Roaring Twenties.
Douglas Waller has crafted a compelling new biography of the daring Billy Mitchell, a larger-than-life figure remembered as much for his outspokenness as for his innovations in the use of airpower. Waller has uncovered a trove of new letters, diaries, and confidential documents that have enabled him to capture in detail the drama of the court and to build a rich and revealing biography of Mitchell, one of the army's most controversial and flamboyant generals.
Born to a millionaire Midwest family at the end of the 1870s, Mitchell joined the military at the age of eighteen and became one of its rising stars. During World War I, he led the largest armada of airplanes ever to attack an enemy force and returned to the United States a dashing young general with a chest full of medals and a radical vision of airpower as the only decisive instrument for future wars. But as the military shrank in the postwar years, Mitchell became increasingly impatient and vocal, lashing out at bureaucratic enemies he accused of impeding airpower's progress. After a tragic airship accident that shocked the nation, he publicly blasted the War and Navy Departments for their handling of aviation and was put on trial for it.
A Question of Loyalty is a story about Washington politics, about love and betrayal, about heroes in battle, about determined lawyers and powerful military men pitted against one another in a courtroom.
"A superb and charismatic Signal Corps officer and innovative air tactician in WWI, Mitchell, the son of a Wisconsin senator, faced an internal conflict: should he be loyal to his superior officers, whom he regarded as almost treasonably incompetent, or to what he saw as his country's best interests, which included a vastly larger, united and independent air arm? The result was a famous court-martial, which Time magazine correspondent Waller (The Commandos), with scholarship and balance, makes extremely comprehensible and gripping to readers more than 75 years on. The shorter biographical portion portrays Mitchell as egotistical, insubordinate, a so-so pilot, a racist, a spendthrift and borderline alcoholic, and heavily responsible in a messy divorce from his first wife. The trial itself was a media circus of modern proportions; Mitchell emerges as somewhat more than a gadfly if something less than a hero, essential to the growth of modern American air power but hardly a spotless martyr or a major strategic thinker. Agent, Kris Dahl at ICM. (Sept.) " Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"A Question of Loyalty" puts readers in the middle of the epic story of Gen. Billy Mitchell--the architect of the modern Air Force--and his spellbinding trial over patriotism and treason. 16-page photo insert.

Douglas Waller is a senior correspondent for Time, and before that was with Newsweek. He is the author or coauthor of six previous books, including the national bestseller Big Red, The Commandos, and Air Warriors. He lives in Annandale, Virginia, with his wife and has three children.

With reporting By Josh Horowitz
One of the most popular running jokes during the run of "Lost" was that the big ending twist would be a rip on "Gilligan's Island." And Josh Gad, who is writing a new movie based on the classic comedy ("Gilligan," not "Lost"), knows that those are expectations audiences will have going into his reboot.
"You would be remiss not to at least touch upon that in the movie," Gad told MTV News on a possible "Lost" connection. "And I'll leave it at that."
While we're sure there won't be smoke monsters in the new flick (well, kind of sure), Gad acknowledging the influence "Lost" has had over the simple premise that fueled "Gilligan's Island" is just one weapon in his arsenal while updating the show.
"It's approaching the material in a way that, again, subverts expectations," Gad explained. "I think that if you were to deliver a traditional 'Gilligan's Island' that was an extended episode of the show, people would roll their eyes."
But how does someone take something so dated and make it new again?
"You have to look at the material from a modern perspective," Gad said, "and we've certainly done that, and certainly created a world that is going to surprise a lot of people in a great way. The tone of it is very unexpected."
The biggest surprise? They were dead the whole time! Kidding, "Lost" fanatics.
"Lost" jokes aside, Gad certainly has learned well from that show's creator, J.J. Abrams, and is keeping the secrets of his new movie shrouded in mystery.
"Gilligan's Island" is currently scheduled to hit theaters in 2015.

Shellie Zimmerman told 911 Monday that he had threatened her and her father with a weapon.
On the 911 call, Shellie Zimmerman, who filed for divorce last week, is breathing heavily when she tells a dispatcher that Zimmerman is still at the house.
"He's in his car and he continually has his hand on his gun, and he's saying,'Step closer.' He's just threatening all of us with his firearm," she says.
Shellie Zimmerman also tells 911 that George Zimmerman punched her father in the nose, then smashed her iPad before getting in his truck.
"I don't know what he's capable of. I'm really, really scared," she says.
That is some hero!

It appears he must have told the truth already. All evidence at court supported his statement. The detective even said he believed Zimmerman. I guess the jury believed his statements as well. NOT GUILTY.

#74474 Sep 9, 2013
And that is some reporting.
The first report I read about the Martin case was that Zimmerman chased Martin down, Martin defended himself, and Zim shot him. That was it.
As time went by, it turned out none of it was true. Zimmerman didn't hunt Martin down, he only chased him for a few seconds and stopped. Martin had way more than enough time to return to the house he was staying at, but decided to wait in the dark until he attacked Zimmerman. Zimmerman didn't escape without any injury, he had multiple injuries and was held down against his will while being beaten. Zimmerman didn't use his gun willy-nilly, he used his firearm in defense as a last resort when Martin tried to disarm him.
First reports are always misleading and designed to sell papers and get people drawn to their internet site. When things calm down, that's when you get the real story.
So let's give this story a rest for a few days until further developments surface. I'm willing to bet that at least half of the story is not true or twisted in some way.

I've forgotten most words than you'll learn in "GFYx3" lifetimes.
Once more, in case you may get it this time...
According to Florida law, it is up to the state attorney to press charges against the captain. Shellie can sign all the papers O'Mara wants her to sign, but it is a decision that's up to the state attorney on whether to charge the captain.
There is an investigation underway. If Shellie's signature on a piece of paper would exonerate the so-called captain, then there would be no continuing investigation.

You must be hearing things or just another one of your lies. Didn't happen no matter how bad you wanted it to. NOT GUILTY is what we all heard and that is all that matters. We have one less thug walking the streets. Florida is a little safer.
#74478 Sep 9, 2013
It goes to show how uninformed these Martin people are. They didn't read much about the case, never listened to the police recording of Zimmerman, nor did they view Zimmerman's reenactment of the shooting.
They get their information from left-wing blogs and hope the posters there are telling the truth which is usually not the case.
#74479 Sep 9, 2013
Partly correct. If Martin turned around and hit Zimmerman during the chase, you would be correct. But that's not what happened.
What happened is that Martin easily outran Zimmerman and Martin stopped between the houses and went no further. He waited for Zimmerman and then attacked him. Martin made no attempt to call police nor any attempt to go to the safety of the house he was staying at.
Stand Your Ground is not the legal permission to hold a person down, beat his head into the cement and bust his nose. SYG is the a law that does not legally require a person in conflict to remove themselves from a heated or potentially violent situation even if it means using deadly force.
Racial profiling is legal by police or citizens. If (as in this instance) criminals are described as a certain race or gender, then of course you don't stop people who don't fit that profile. The people robbing homes in that complex were described as young black males. So what's Zimmerman or the police supposed to do? Stop white kids with red hair and suspect them?
In the US, we know who the enemies of our country are. They are predominately Arab and very religious. But for political correctness (which you seem to support) what do we do? We are strip searching white nuns and children and let the Arab people jump on board the plane with no questions asked. That's the liberal way of solving a problem.
In Israel, if you're an Italian and look like an Arab, they pull you out of line at the airport, search everything in your luggage and even your person, and then if nothing is wrong, they let you board the plane. That's why you've never seen an airplane incident where terrorists were involved. They racially profile and ignore political correctness.

Stupid appeasers tickle me a lot. Lets do this Mr Bigshot. I tried to bet anyone any amount of money that George would be found not guilty a few days after he was falsely accused and formerly charged. For some reason that even a lying blind fool such as yourself could see there were no takers. So here we go again. Ill bet that if George Zimmerman is charged with anything regarding todays 911 phone call by his soon to be ex wife it will result in the same verdict. Not guilty of any wrongdoing.
Put your money where your pseudo religious mouth is or simply shut the fuck up!

Get the ultimate foundation in Adobe Photoshop CC, in this update to the flagship series Photoshop One-on-One. Deke takes you on a personalized tour of the basic tools and techniques that lie behind great images and graphic design, while keeping you up to speed with the newest features offered with Creative Cloud. Learn to open images from multiple sources, get around the panels and menus, and work with layers—the feature that allows you to perform masking, combine effects, and perform other edits nondestructively. Then Deke shows how to perform important editing tasks, such as cropping and straightening images, adjusting the luminance of your image, correcting color imbalances and enhancing color creatively, and finally, retouching and healing.
In this movie, I'll show you a few tips and tricks for working with Adjustment layers. I've save the corrected version of the light butterfly as Adjustment_layer.psd found inside the 07_luminance folder. Now I'm not all that happy with the name of this adjustment, because after all, it's my only brightness contrast layer and it really doesn't state what the layer is doing. So I'm going to double-click on the layer name and call it Darken. All right, now let's switch back to the dark butterfly image and let's say I want to re-express the adjustment as an Adjustment layer.
But first, I need to undo the static adjustment. So I'll go up to the Edit menu, the Undo command is dimmed, because the Undo command only undoes the last operation in the image I performed the operation in, which wasn't this one. So what I need to do instead is either back step in the History panel or I can choose a step backward command, which has a keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+Alt+Z or Command+Option+Z on the Mac. And that goes ahead and undoes the adjustment as you can see. All right, now let's say I want to create a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer, but I want to name it as I create it.
Well in that case, you press and hold the Alt key or Option key on the Mac, click the black/white icon at the bottom of the Layers panel and choose the Brightness/Contrast command. And I'll go ahead and call this layer Brighten and then click OK. And I'll bring up the Properties panel just as I did before. Now notice that neither of the values are active at this point. You can activate the first numerical value from the keyboard by pressing Shift+Enter or Shift+Return on the Mac. And then I'll dial in a Brightness value of 100, press the Tab key and dial in a contrast value of 50, which were the same values I applied before.
All right, now let's say I want to get these butterflies matching each other. We'll go ahead and hide the Properties panel, then I'll go up to the Window menu, choose Arrange and choose 2-up Vertically so that I can see the butterfles side by side. I'll go ahead and scroll them independently here so that we can see the bodies of the butterflies. And it looks to me like the one on the left could stand to be brightened up a little more. And then the one on the right has a little bit too much contrast. So I'm going to start by editing the active image, which for me is dark butterfly.
To edit in the Adjustment layer, you double-click on this thumbnail in the Layers panel and that brings up the Properties panel. Now I showed you how you can select the first value by pressing Shift+Enter or Shift+Return. You can also select either value, Brightness or Contrast, by just clicking on its name like so. You have the option of scrubbing a value by dragging directly on the word Brightness or Contrast. If you want to change the value more quickly, you can press the Shift key in order to change the value in increments of 10.
You can also press the up arrow key to raise the value, the down arrow key lowers the value, Shift+Up arrow and Shift+Down arrow raise and lower the values in increments of 10. All right now I'm going to Tab to the Contrast value and take it down to 30. So I have a Brightness of 110, a Contrast of 30 inside the dark butterfly. Now I'll switch over to the formerly light butterfly, double-click on its Adjustment layer. The Contrast value is still active from the previous image. I'm feeling like the body is a little bit too dark here so I'm going to press Shift+Up arrow to raise that Brightness value to -35 then I'm going to press the Tab key and take the Contrast value down to something around 50.
And we end up getting a pretty darn good match. So I'll go ahead and hide the Properties panel. Now they're never going to be absolutely identical, because of course, they are different butterflies and they were captured in different conditions in the first place. But the fact of the matter is, because we're working with editable Adjustment layers, we can modify our settings any time, and as much as we want.
