67
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:31,260
where I want to be because you know if
68
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:32,880
you have an image that is very bright
69
00:02:31,260 --> 00:02:35,100
and we kind of talked about this and
70
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,690
alluded to it within the the raw
71
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:38,880
conversion stage is that if i have this
72
00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:40,920
image here and i have it you know darker
73
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,530
it has a very different mood then if i
74
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:46,170
were to make it bright and so that will
75
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:48,810
affect my choice of colors and for that
76
00:02:46,170 --> 00:02:51,780
reason i like to start off with sort of
77
00:02:48,810 --> 00:02:52,830
my target overall luminosity and
78
00:02:51,780 --> 00:02:54,360
generally speaking
79
00:02:52,830 --> 00:02:57,240
ideally you would have the perfect
80
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,130
luminosity out of your raw file but you
81
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,280
know oftentimes I find that with my raw
82
00:02:59,130 --> 00:03:04,170
file i like to have luminosity that
83
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,310
doesn't have any blown-out shadows
84
00:03:04,170 --> 00:03:07,470
doesn't have any blown out highlights
85
00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:09,180
and essentially it's a good balance
86
00:03:07,470 --> 00:03:11,010
starting point and that's the same thing
87
00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:12,480
when it comes to the white balance
88
00:03:11,010 --> 00:03:14,580
itself as well we were talking about
89
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,110
that now with this image here I've
90
00:03:14,580 --> 00:03:17,970
actually got to white balance as you can
91
00:03:16,110 --> 00:03:19,500
see we have this sort of warmer one that
92
00:03:17,970 --> 00:03:22,140
gives you the impression that it was
93
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:23,610
shot at sunset which in fact it was and
94
00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:25,980
then what I did was I created this one
95
00:03:23,610 --> 00:03:27,420
here which essentially neutralized a lot
96
00:03:25,980 --> 00:03:28,860
more now there's still a little bit of
97
00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:30,480
this warm feel to it i didn't want to
98
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:32,040
take it out completely but as you can
99
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,620
see the shadows are a lot more neutral
100
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:37,350
in nature the distribution of colors is
101
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:39,209
a lot more uniform than here where you
102
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:41,370
can see if i go over this if you look at
103
00:03:39,209 --> 00:03:42,930
the sort of distribution over here we
104
00:03:41,370 --> 00:03:44,580
can see that the yellows certainly
105
00:03:42,930 --> 00:03:48,090
dominated around you know sixty-six
106
00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:49,680
percent so you know it's not as even now
107
00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:52,680
obviously our starting point will
108
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,239
dictate what tools will use and you know
109
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,890
what what steps will take to create this
110
00:03:54,239 --> 00:03:57,930
image and then you know ultimately I
111
00:03:55,890 --> 00:03:59,370
want to keep this kind of feel to it it
112
00:03:57,930 --> 00:04:01,380
would be best to start with this image
113
00:03:59,370 --> 00:04:03,000
here there's no reason to start neutral
114
00:04:01,380 --> 00:04:05,280
knowing full well that will be going
115
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,600
towards a more sunset feel now what kind
116
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,340
of replicate that a little bit as well
117
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,709
and you know we'll look at how those
118
00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:12,870
adjustments look different between the
119
00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:13,980
two different starting points so I said
120
00:04:12,870 --> 00:04:17,010
you know the best place to start really
121
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:18,930
is to get your your actual luminosity
122
00:04:17,010 --> 00:04:21,000
where you want to be now the framework
123
00:04:18,930 --> 00:04:22,500
itself will talk about in the next
124
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,760
lesson and we'll sort of i'll take you
125
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,530
through the steps that I always take
126
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,889
from the start of the image to the end
127
00:04:25,530 --> 00:04:27,449
and where
128
00:04:25,889 --> 00:04:29,249
color grading fits into that right now
129
00:04:27,449 --> 00:04:31,710
don't get hung up on that let's just
130
00:04:29,249 --> 00:04:32,789
talk about the tools individually and
131
00:04:31,710 --> 00:04:34,820
then we're going to kind of put it all
132
00:04:32,789 --> 00:04:45,429
together in the next lesson
133
00:04:34,820 --> 00:04:45,429
