1
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:11,200
the first thing I do when I open up an
image in the rock and burger is take a
2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,520
few seconds to decide what it is that I
need to do the image so I'm not just
3
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:21,919
playing with sliders for this shot the
first thing that comes to mind is that I
4
00:00:21,919 --> 00:00:27,659
need to make sure that the sky and the
foreground are properly color balance
5
00:00:27,659 --> 00:00:32,970
now the problem with a shot like this is
that the sky is lit by the Sun but the
6
00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:36,980
foreground is pretty much in the shade
so they're gonna have different color
7
00:00:36,980 --> 00:00:42,620
balance settings so I'll deal with that
by processing the damage twice opening
8
00:00:42,620 --> 00:00:45,860
it up in Photoshop and then blending
those two layers of when you really
9
00:00:45,860 --> 00:00:50,800
simple blending process not make too big
issue of it and keep the whole
10
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,040
processing simple the other thing I want
to do is make sure that the contrast
11
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,590
looks good
12
00:00:57,590 --> 00:01:01,080
alan has declared a little bit maybe
I'll bring up the saturation those are
13
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,570
the things that stand out to me this
image that I think I can improve upon I
14
00:01:05,570 --> 00:01:10,140
also want to make sure that the
foreground looks really clean and white
15
00:01:10,140 --> 00:01:17,060
the the sand out there was not this dull
brown color was a brilliant soft almost
16
00:01:17,060 --> 00:01:21,120
white color just beautiful
17
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:27,500
alright so I'm gonna start by processing
the image for the sky I'm gonna ignore
18
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:31,000
the foreground I don't care what the
foreground looks like all i care about
19
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:39,470
right now is the sky so the sky was lit
by the Sun so a daylight balanced pretty
20
00:01:39,470 --> 00:01:45,659
close to correct I can shifted a little
bit maybe towards blue to bring out some
21
00:01:45,659 --> 00:01:51,010
of those purple tones that I remember
from this morning or I can shift a
22
00:01:51,010 --> 00:01:56,479
little towards gold but I think I like
that bluish if just a little bit better
23
00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:04,640
not too far I wanna make sure it still
looks warm around the Sun I think my
24
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,670
exposure looks pretty good there in a
bump up the contrast just a bit not too
25
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:13,319
much and
26
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:20,069
and clarity so I get a little bit more
contrast along the edges of the clouds
27
00:02:20,069 --> 00:02:30,370
too much and saturation just 5% I i
hardly I just such erosion and then I
28
00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:36,280
want to go up and check make sure that I
like the changes I've made look how much
29
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,069
more intense the sky looks not how I
remember from this morning it was just
30
00:02:41,069 --> 00:02:46,879
brilliantly beautiful now happy with the
way the sky looks so I'm gonna go ahead
31
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:54,959
and go down here to go over here two
shots and down here and she's this
32
00:02:54,959 --> 00:03:03,169
little new snapshot option and then
create a snapshot I'm just gonna call
33
00:03:03,169 --> 00:03:05,030
this one this guy
34
00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:13,169
ok now I'm gonna go back to my basic
pant and I'm going to process the same
35
00:03:13,169 --> 00:03:19,000
image for the poor ground on this case
if I choose a color balance for shade
36
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,329
that the foreground turned you really
intensely yellow that's a little bit
37
00:03:24,329 --> 00:03:28,549
much so I'm just going to go back to my
daylight setting with her spine and I'm
38
00:03:28,549 --> 00:03:35,139
going to shift it manually and in fact
the sand was so light that it almost
39
00:03:35,139 --> 00:03:40,250
seemed quite to me it will work with the
color balance and see if I can bring
40
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:45,919
back a little bit of that color that I
remember from the scene sometimes of you
41
00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:51,970
be difficult to get the color balance
how you remember it but when I look for
42
00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:57,489
is a little bit of a glow that comes out
when you have the colors just right I'm
43
00:03:57,489 --> 00:04:03,979
not talking about this kind of glow I'm
talking about a really subtle colors are
44
00:04:03,979 --> 00:04:09,870
right you can see here that the soft
light is just starting to come out now
45
00:04:09,870 --> 00:04:14,799
I'm also going to increase my exposure
little bit because that foreground was
46
00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:20,299
brighter than I think it looks in this
image and then I want to increase the
47
00:04:20,299 --> 00:04:24,520
contrast a little bit more make sure
that I bring out those ripples
48
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:30,870
in the foreground and little more
clarity because sand looks so nice and
49
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:32,400
sharp
50
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,370
actually going to try decreasing my
saturation because I think it got a
51
00:04:37,370 --> 00:04:43,659
little bit extreme they're gonna give it
to Euro don't have to adjust the
52
00:04:43,659 --> 00:04:48,810
saturation every time now simply asked I
of course looks terrible but the
53
00:04:48,810 --> 00:04:55,240
foreground looks a little bit closer to
what I remember from this morning
54
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:01,889
turn on my preview look at the
difference really seems to like this and
55
00:05:01,889 --> 00:05:09,210
really nice now I think this image is
also gonna need a little bit of
56
00:05:09,210 --> 00:05:12,740
chromatic aberration adjustment so I
want to make sure that I go in and do
57
00:05:12,740 --> 00:05:17,469
this now remember I didn't do this when
I process for the skies are gonna go in
58
00:05:17,469 --> 00:05:22,659
and fix that in just a minute make sure
that it it's correct for both images I
59
00:05:22,659 --> 00:05:27,800
was doomed into almost 400% here and you
can see that they're green edges and
60
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:34,569
magenta edges I'm just going to choose
the auto option to correct for the color
61
00:05:34,569 --> 00:05:39,080
you can see it just clean that up a
really nicely I see a little bit more
62
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:50,759
purple so shifted in there taking care
of problems solved and then when I get
63
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:56,370
to the standard size and I want to see
what happens if I enable the Lens
64
00:05:56,370 --> 00:05:59,849
Profile correction sometimes I like the
effect sometimes I don't
65
00:05:59,849 --> 00:06:03,699
in this case I think it's really over
done this just way too much but I
66
00:06:03,699 --> 00:06:10,930
wouldn't mind if it breaks my distortion
a little bit rather than taking quite
67
00:06:10,930 --> 00:06:18,740
two extremes and I wouldn't mind it
corrected something just not all of it
68
00:06:18,740 --> 00:06:24,009
or something like that it was pretty
good to me but I think it may be a
69
00:06:24,009 --> 00:06:28,580
little brighter than I like in the
corners
70
00:06:28,580 --> 00:06:32,100
i think im gonna bring those corners
down a little bit more
71
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:38,900
or that helps to bring your towards the
center of the photo so I don't mind a
72
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:40,970
little bit of a meeting
73
00:06:40,970 --> 00:06:47,120
there's my preview really nice now back
to the main menu now once again I want
74
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,070
to point out that I'm processing for the
foreground here not sky over here to my
75
00:06:52,070 --> 00:06:58,320
shots option create a second snapshot
and we're gonna call this one for ground
76
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:13,900
and now I can I stop I remember I need
to go in and fix that then yes let's
77
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:16,980
take a look at what I did but the
foreground just make sure that my
78
00:07:16,980 --> 00:07:24,180
numbers correctly chose 3215 I need to
make sure those numbers are just the
79
00:07:24,180 --> 00:07:30,560
same in both settings so I have 32 and
15 per distortion and been getting and
80
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:40,470
then I've chosen to add to my purple sky
81
00:07:40,470 --> 00:07:44,440
option enabled this yours
82
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:56,160
3215 and I turned on my color profiles
and I think I said to be a better check
