117
00:03:56,730 --> 00:04:00,360
of evident in this particular image here
118
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:02,370
is that as you work through color
119
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,810
grading your preferences are going to
120
00:04:02,370 --> 00:04:06,000
change so much if you you know
121
00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:07,650
retouching image today with a certain
122
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,370
color grade and come back to it a year
123
00:04:07,650 --> 00:04:10,170
down the road
124
00:04:08,370 --> 00:04:11,280
odds are you would great completely
125
00:04:10,170 --> 00:04:13,140
different you're gonna look at it and
126
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,580
say I really don't like the way this
127
00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:17,250
look what was I thinking
128
00:04:14,580 --> 00:04:19,650
and that's just the way it goes for you
129
00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:21,060
know the first little while your choice
130
00:04:19,650 --> 00:04:22,650
of color green is going to evolve a lot
131
00:04:21,060 --> 00:04:24,210
and you know even once you refine your
132
00:04:22,650 --> 00:04:26,430
process is going to continue to evolve
133
00:04:24,210 --> 00:04:28,350
because times change as well what was
134
00:04:26,430 --> 00:04:30,389
popular 10 years ago may not be popular
135
00:04:28,350 --> 00:04:32,250
today what's popular today may not be
136
00:04:30,389 --> 00:04:34,110
popular in 10 years so you're gonna have
137
00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:36,030
to kind of go with the flow but all the
138
00:04:34,110 --> 00:04:37,830
while you're going to keep the same
139
00:04:36,030 --> 00:04:39,419
field to your image is still going to be
140
00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:41,970
you but you're going to refine it as you
141
00:04:39,419 --> 00:04:43,110
go so don't be surprised if you know the
142
00:04:41,970 --> 00:04:44,490
first time you try some of these
143
00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:47,520
techniques you're like yeah you know
144
00:04:44,490 --> 00:04:49,380
that's okay i'm not sure I can kind of
145
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,419
get it the way he had a video or
146
00:04:49,380 --> 00:04:53,610
whatever that's really not the point the
147
00:04:51,419 --> 00:04:55,770
point is to give you all the tools you
148
00:04:53,610 --> 00:04:59,070
need and some of the foundation that you
149
00:04:55,770 --> 00:05:02,099
need to help you recover your images but
150
00:04:59,070 --> 00:05:03,750
ultimately it was at practice so looking
151
00:05:02,099 --> 00:05:07,110
at a lot of images and refine the
152
00:05:03,750 --> 00:05:08,220
process over many many retouches until
153
00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:09,990
you finally get to something that you're
154
00:05:08,220 --> 00:05:12,030
really happy with and that's even
155
00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:14,610
something that I find today I'll change
156
00:05:12,030 --> 00:05:16,680
my preference for a color grade you know
157
00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:18,539
a couple months i'll probably gravitate
158
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,220
towards something a little bit different
159
00:05:18,539 --> 00:05:21,720
sorry about that long-winded kind of
160
00:05:20,220 --> 00:05:23,220
diversion but I think it's important to
161
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,870
mention because that's just the way
162
00:05:23,220 --> 00:05:27,419
color grading works you know it's very
163
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:29,310
personal and it will change so don't be
164
00:05:27,419 --> 00:05:30,630
surprised if you don't come away with
165
00:05:29,310 --> 00:05:34,199
this you know from this course
166
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:35,400
immediately retouching to perfection and
167
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:36,690
having your color great your
168
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,490
hundred-percent happy with just take the
169
00:05:36,690 --> 00:05:40,650
techniques we teach here and keep
170
00:05:38,490 --> 00:05:42,510
applying them until you find them and
171
00:05:40,650 --> 00:05:43,830
really find something that you like so
172
00:05:42,510 --> 00:05:46,080
let's jump into something a little more
173
00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:47,400
practical and actually go back to the
174
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,289
earlier phase of the image which is the
175
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,110
actual raw file and talk about our
176
00:05:49,289 --> 00:05:54,840
decision there will affect our choices
177
00:05:52,110 --> 00:05:56,759
that we have down the road for color
178
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:57,840
grading so let's go ahead and do that
179
00:05:56,759 --> 00:06:03,320
right now we're going to jump in to
180
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:03,320
capture one
