120
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:07,870
super dorks I think the Super darks
121
00:08:07,870 --> 00:08:11,350
will do the best job love directing my
judgment to the shadows
122
00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:15,220
and not adjusting my highlights sole
control click
123
00:08:15,220 --> 00:08:19,900
on the super darks go back to the RGB
color
124
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:24,290
channel create a color balance
adjustment layer
125
00:08:24,290 --> 00:08:28,550
and now starting with the shadows I will
126
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:32,790
try to neutralize the color cast
127
00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:38,680
and I can also go to my Midtown's
128
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:47,760
and work with little for their and now
let's see how that looks
129
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,840
for and after
130
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,980
she can see that at neutralizing
131
00:08:53,980 --> 00:08:57,500
a blue cast down in the shadows of the
water on the rocks
132
00:08:57,500 --> 00:09:01,160
but my highlights are remaining almost
entirely unaffected
133
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:07,230
so this is the adjustment with the mask
and this is the adjustment without the
134
00:09:07,230 --> 00:09:07,760
mask
135
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,340
much better let's zoom in
136
00:09:12,340 --> 00:09:15,920
on that shattered area so we can really
get a close-up view
137
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,060
how it's working with the color balance
in the shadows
138
00:09:19,060 --> 00:09:23,320
before
139
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,330
can see the blue cast and after
140
00:09:26,330 --> 00:09:30,490
let's move over a little bit before
141
00:09:30,490 --> 00:09:35,160
and after
142
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,889
finally I wanna make one more very
localized
143
00:09:37,889 --> 00:09:40,999
color balance adjustment with the tool
that a lot of people don't think about
144
00:09:40,999 --> 00:09:41,920
too often
145
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,439
and that is the photo filter just
146
00:09:45,439 --> 00:09:48,999
for a filter allows you to place a
virtual
147
00:09:48,999 --> 00:09:52,749
color filter over your image in this
case it's a warming filter
148
00:09:52,749 --> 00:09:55,779
so it's warming the entire image I can
see that
149
00:09:55,779 --> 00:10:00,470
well it may be having an OK effect in
some areas it's not good as a global
150
00:10:00,470 --> 00:10:05,899
adjustment but i wanna do is warm up
151
00:10:05,899 --> 00:10:10,629
the brightest highlights Indy sunlit
portion of the waterfall and give them
152
00:10:10,629 --> 00:10:12,559
just a little bit more of a warm glow
153
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,170
suffer this adjustment are generally all
the lights masks
154
00:10:16,170 --> 00:10:21,350
and then evaluate the lights mas to see
which one will target
155
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:25,749
that area so the lights light lights
156
00:10:25,749 --> 00:10:30,179
bright lights and super lights
157
00:10:30,179 --> 00:10:33,350
ultralight something cuz little too far
158
00:10:33,350 --> 00:10:37,230
so I'm gonna go with the super lights so
controller comment click
159
00:10:37,230 --> 00:10:41,319
to make the selection go back to my RGB
channel
160
00:10:41,319 --> 00:10:44,720
and now generate the
161
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:50,879
photo filter adjustment layer I can turn
up the density of the photo filter
162
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:54,339
because it's being constrained by that
masks after
163
00:10:54,339 --> 00:10:58,999
go a little more aggressive with my
adjustment let's see what the effects
164
00:10:58,999 --> 00:11:03,059
can see that there in the highlight some
adding that nice little warm
165
00:11:03,059 --> 00:11:07,329
glow zoom in so we can see what that
looks like up close
166
00:11:07,329 --> 00:11:12,149
before the adjustment after the
adjustment
167
00:11:12,149 --> 00:11:15,910
now that may be a little bit stronger I
want to do it so that we could see it in
168
00:11:15,910 --> 00:11:16,619
the video
169
00:11:16,619 --> 00:11:20,350
but remember that with the opacity
slater can always
170
00:11:20,350 --> 00:11:23,509
dial in just the right amount any
adjustment layer
171
00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:28,029
so that that it's a nice warm light
172
00:11:28,029 --> 00:11:31,249
into those specular highlights in the
water without affecting
173
00:11:31,249 --> 00:11:35,540
any other parts of the image I would say
that color palettes
174
00:11:35,540 --> 00:11:40,439
along with contrast is one of the most
important foundational adjustments
175
00:11:40,439 --> 00:11:44,220
to get right near images right color
balance will allow your image to have
176
00:11:44,220 --> 00:11:46,059
the visual impact that you wanted to
177
00:11:46,059 --> 00:11:48,200
the mass the mass allow you to
178
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,580
you make color balance adjustments very
localized areas
179
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:53,230
with a great amount of precision and
control
