119
00:04:01,239 --> 00:04:03,880
see that we're changing the shape of the
120
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,739
history and so we're still retaining
121
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,470
something different here this is not a
122
00:04:05,739 --> 00:04:11,320
straight cut offline but obviously we
123
00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:12,580
have lost all information in the deepest
124
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,140
of blacks here because that we don't
125
00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:15,970
have any more blacks we've introduced so
126
00:04:14,140 --> 00:04:17,709
much white into the blacks that
127
00:04:15,970 --> 00:04:19,450
everything has been pushover so
128
00:04:17,709 --> 00:04:21,070
obviously we're losing some bit of
129
00:04:19,450 --> 00:04:22,360
information there it's not like a shadow
130
00:04:21,070 --> 00:04:25,060
recovery kind of thing
131
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,530
and so in this particular case i may go
132
00:04:25,060 --> 00:04:28,060
like minus 2 if I want to reduce the
133
00:04:26,530 --> 00:04:30,430
contrast a little bit if I'm finding it
134
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:32,110
to contrast e that's sometimes what I'll
135
00:04:30,430 --> 00:04:34,629
do all go kind of anywhere from you know
136
00:04:32,110 --> 00:04:36,520
minus 1 2-5 and that's really as far as
137
00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:38,349
I go if I'm trying to pull a little bit
138
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,819
of contrast out and then where it gets
139
00:04:38,349 --> 00:04:42,219
kind of cool is if we start introducing
140
00:04:39,819 --> 00:04:44,020
let's say a blue tone into those shadows
141
00:04:42,219 --> 00:04:46,060
that looks kind of nice you know it
142
00:04:44,020 --> 00:04:47,590
targets the deepest shadows that the
143
00:04:46,060 --> 00:04:49,330
blacks and it introduces a little bit of
144
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:50,710
color to it now obviously keeping in
145
00:04:49,330 --> 00:04:52,479
mind when we do that we are actually
146
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:54,729
changing the histogram because we're
147
00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:57,789
replacing blacks with blue so we're
148
00:04:54,729 --> 00:05:00,159
pushing blew into the black and so you
149
00:04:57,789 --> 00:05:01,629
know what was once a deep black is now a
150
00:05:00,159 --> 00:05:03,310
little bit lighter with some blue in it
151
00:05:01,629 --> 00:05:04,870
but in any case you know that's kind of
152
00:05:03,310 --> 00:05:06,819
a nice effect and of course we can do
153
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:08,050
that with any of these colors here again
154
00:05:06,819 --> 00:05:09,550
if you go too far with anything you
155
00:05:08,050 --> 00:05:11,289
start to lose information just like we
156
00:05:09,550 --> 00:05:13,150
did when we pushed the Black Point too
157
00:05:11,289 --> 00:05:14,439
far we had too much shade we started
158
00:05:13,150 --> 00:05:16,840
losing details so you have to be careful
159
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:18,729
not to kind of overdue some of these
160
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:20,050
adjustments and then magenta same thing
161
00:05:18,729 --> 00:05:22,479
magenta can often look quite nice
162
00:05:20,050 --> 00:05:24,520
injected into the shadows so again just
163
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:26,620
be kind of mindful of how much of that
164
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,879
you're pushing in and so that's where
165
00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:29,650
you can kind of get a pretty drastic
166
00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:32,020
adjustment within those blacks very
167
00:05:29,650 --> 00:05:33,279
quickly within the whites is kind of a
168
00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:34,810
similar story except the whites
169
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,020
generally speaking are less noticeable
170
00:05:34,810 --> 00:05:40,270
of an effect whites tends to target just
171
00:05:38,020 --> 00:05:42,129
things that are fairly white like it's
172
00:05:40,270 --> 00:05:43,509
not sort of highlights it's really just
173
00:05:42,129 --> 00:05:44,770
whites whites
174
00:05:43,509 --> 00:05:46,870
I mean it's got to be something very
175
00:05:44,770 --> 00:05:49,029
bright so if we actually cranked this
176
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:50,680
way down you can see where it it has the
177
00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:52,569
most effect on the background which was
178
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,460
already pretty light and in terms of our
