1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,710
we're not going to go into too much
2
00:00:11,670 --> 00:00:16,470
detail about how the curves adjustment
3
00:00:13,710 --> 00:00:17,730
works in terms of you know the inner
4
00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:18,869
workings of it we're going to assume
5
00:00:17,730 --> 00:00:20,970
that you already know that because again
6
00:00:18,869 --> 00:00:22,320
this isn't the Foundation's course but
7
00:00:20,970 --> 00:00:24,240
essentially you know we're going to
8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,369
manipulate the luminosity of the image
9
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:27,359
by moving the sort of points and
10
00:00:26,369 --> 00:00:29,220
typically speaking we're going to be
11
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:31,289
moving point somewhere in the middle of
12
00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:32,460
this line as opposed to the outer edges
13
00:00:31,289 --> 00:00:33,930
of and the reason for that is that we
14
00:00:32,460 --> 00:00:35,730
you know let's say we want the shadows
15
00:00:33,930 --> 00:00:37,710
brighter we don't really want to grab
16
00:00:35,730 --> 00:00:39,090
this end point and start pulling it up
17
00:00:37,710 --> 00:00:40,950
and the reason for that is that if we
18
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:43,260
pull it to hear you can see what happens
19
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:45,510
to the histogram is that effectively on
20
00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:48,210
the left-hand side where we had this
21
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:50,340
information shifted all the way to the
22
00:00:48,210 --> 00:00:52,530
left side were you know this indicates a
23
00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:54,149
black point effectively it's just pure
24
00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:55,710
black in there we haven't really
25
00:00:54,149 --> 00:00:57,870
recovered any detail from that we
26
00:00:55,710 --> 00:01:00,480
haven't flatten this information out and
27
00:00:57,870 --> 00:01:02,399
sort of stretched in we really just done
28
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,670
is shifted the histogram so we've taken
29
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:07,290
contrast out of the image by you know
30
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:10,110
taking the Black Point and making it
31
00:01:07,290 --> 00:01:12,119
less black so we you know we effectively
32
00:01:10,110 --> 00:01:13,740
kind of turn black little more gray and
33
00:01:12,119 --> 00:01:15,119
so that's not actually recover any
34
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:16,290
details if we wanted more detail and
35
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:18,630
they're the best thing of course to do
36
00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:20,850
would be to do that within the raw file
37
00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:22,770
itself either by doing a local
38
00:01:20,850 --> 00:01:25,200
adjustment with in capture one and just
39
00:01:22,770 --> 00:01:27,960
bring some shadow detail out or creating
40
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,450
you know multiple variants of that file
41
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:31,920
and then blending them together to you
42
00:01:30,450 --> 00:01:34,140
know once we actually get in Photoshop
43
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,540
masking in certain areas that we want to
44
00:01:34,140 --> 00:01:38,070
have a little bit more information it so
45
00:01:36,540 --> 00:01:40,530
generally speaking to stay away from
46
00:01:38,070 --> 00:01:42,299
these powerpoints same thing goes over
47
00:01:40,530 --> 00:01:44,130
here you know we're not going to recover
48
00:01:42,299 --> 00:01:45,659
any detail in the highlights this way
49
00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:47,909
again all were doing is just shifting
50
00:01:45,659 --> 00:01:49,259
the histogram over from the right-hand
51
00:01:47,909 --> 00:01:51,930
side to the left hand side and just
52
00:01:49,259 --> 00:01:53,040
injecting some greatness into the
53
00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:55,890
highlights but we're not actually
54
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,729
retrieving any more detail in there so
55
00:01:55,890 --> 00:01:58,290
generally speaking we're gonna be
56
00:01:56,729 --> 00:02:00,329
keeping our point somewhere in here now
57
00:01:58,290 --> 00:02:02,009
let's say we want to create a slightly
58
00:02:00,329 --> 00:02:03,479
more moody image by darkening it down so
59
00:02:02,009 --> 00:02:04,920
we can do is we can pull this down a
60
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:07,439
little bit and of course you have to be
61
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,970
mindful of the fact that you're going to
62
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:11,220
lose a little bit of information and the
63
00:02:08,970 --> 00:02:13,300
process so so any adjustments you do
64
00:02:11,220 --> 00:02:14,740
have to be fairly minor in nature
65
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:18,700
if you do want to make a big adjustment
66
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:20,710
you can always do that at the end using
67
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:22,750
you know if we can essentially group all
68
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:24,520
of this together into a smart object and
