i have been using ps6 for a few years now, and have only just noticed the equalise option in the adjustments menu (i am a bit slow sometimes)
having played with it on a few images it appears to be a quick way to process certain pp steps, on some images
just posting this in case there are ps6 users who haven't found it yet

It was also in Photoshop 4 (the first I had). That's not CS4, but PS4, as in "years ago" :eek:

It's one of those functions that's hard to describe, and as you say, "...on some images..."

Adobe provide an aside to its usage in this link, (https://helpx.adobe.com/au/photoshop/using/making-quick-tonal-adjustments.html) along with "some other stuff".

So Muddie is this equalise option the same as AM's linked Auto contrast item?

yes Mark, the effect is like the auto contrast.
the effect can be too strong on some images, would be good if it had a slider so you could adjust the strength of the effect

Just a thought, you could apply the adjustment to a 'Stamp Visible' layer [click on the topmost layer then press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E] and then adjust the opacity of that new layer to suit for the desired effect.

There is a slider for the Equalize function. It's called Edit - Fade, and it's as slithery as anything :eek::eek:
Look what it did to these vegetables...:eek:
