1
00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:05,980
in addition to being helpful for
providing control with adjustments for
2
00:00:05,980 --> 00:00:06,850
saturation
3
00:00:06,850 --> 00:00:10,250
with an Aussie masur also great for
working with color palettes
4
00:00:10,250 --> 00:00:13,550
when an image has an overall color
balance issue
5
00:00:13,550 --> 00:00:17,800
for example a global color cast can be
neutralized with white balance
6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,350
adjustments in cammarata
7
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:22,640
or the brady have color balance
adjustments in Photoshop
8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,900
the color balance adjustment is made
just for this purpose
9
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:30,340
this image has an overall blue color
cast I can work with
10
00:00:30,340 --> 00:00:33,940
a color balance adjustment layer
11
00:00:33,940 --> 00:00:37,180
starting with the Midtown's
12
00:00:37,180 --> 00:00:42,340
and bring in some yellows and reds
13
00:00:42,340 --> 00:00:45,520
and then move on to the shadows
14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,520
also make some adjustments for yellows
15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:54,120
and red a little bit maybe in the
highlights
16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:01:00,059
a little bit magenta now we can see that
17
00:01:00,059 --> 00:01:03,820
made a global color balance adjustment
to remove their blue cast
18
00:01:03,820 --> 00:01:09,479
and get the colors more neutral and
looking better but there are times when
19
00:01:09,479 --> 00:01:11,069
a color cast is a global
20
00:01:11,069 --> 00:01:14,990
areas with different light sources such
as shadows and brightly lit areas
21
00:01:14,990 --> 00:01:19,009
may have different color casts and you
may also want to adjust color balance in
22
00:01:19,009 --> 00:01:21,319
different portions have an image for
creative effect
23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,049
while the color balance adjustment as
well as curves
24
00:01:25,049 --> 00:01:28,279
levels selective color and hue and
saturation
25
00:01:28,279 --> 00:01:32,149
all out various methods for targeting
color balance adjustments to particular
26
00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:32,679
color
27
00:01:32,679 --> 00:01:37,399
or call ranges it can still be difficult
to get color just wants to be confined
28
00:01:37,399 --> 00:01:39,249
to just the areas you want
29
00:01:39,249 --> 00:01:43,579
this is where using a luminosity mas to
help direct the adjustment is so helpful
30
00:01:43,579 --> 00:01:48,989
this image has a variety of color
balance issues
31
00:01:48,989 --> 00:01:52,509
but the color balance adjustments I
wanna make in the highlight areas if the
32
00:01:52,509 --> 00:01:54,459
imager different than the ones I wanna
make
33
00:01:54,459 --> 00:01:58,559
to the shadowed areas while the color
balance adjustment allows for
34
00:01:58,559 --> 00:02:02,249
adjustments to be targeted towards
highlights Midtown's and shadows
35
00:02:02,249 --> 00:02:06,469
it still doesn't give me the kind of
control over those various Tahoe areas
36
00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:10,119
that I want to have to get the look that
I walked instead
37
00:02:10,119 --> 00:02:14,040
I would use luminosity master control my
color balance adjustments
38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:20,060
I'm a start off by making all the lights
masks and all the darks masks
39
00:02:20,060 --> 00:02:26,590
all-star by evaluating the lights mas to
find one that'll
40
00:02:26,590 --> 00:02:31,280
direct my adjustment to the brightest a
reserve the image lights
41
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,709
light lights bright lights
42
00:02:35,709 --> 00:02:40,800
I really want this adjustment to affect
the very brightest portions of the image
43
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,880
and I think that only the lights mask is
gonna be
44
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:49,269
broad enough to get the areas that I
want to affect so controller command
45
00:02:49,269 --> 00:02:52,980
click on the lights channel
46
00:02:52,980 --> 00:02:56,580
and then generate a color balance
adjustment layer
47
00:02:56,580 --> 00:03:00,650
but that mask attached click on the
layer to make the
48
00:03:00,650 --> 00:03:04,740
quick mask go away I can work with the
blue slider
49
00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:09,670
to shift or G L O to try to take some
%uh the Blues at the highlights
50
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:13,580
and I mail so on adding a little bit
magenta
51
00:03:13,580 --> 00:03:16,700
to the highlights and
52
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:20,610
little bit a red how this is
53
00:03:20,610 --> 00:03:24,980
happening to the Midtown's because I've
set the color palettes tool to Midtown's
54
00:03:24,980 --> 00:03:29,140
but it's happening to the Midtown's love
the lightest areas
55
00:03:29,140 --> 00:03:32,390
as being controlled by the luminosity
mask
56
00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:35,830
and I can see the effect
57
00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:40,540
that's having an overall color balance I
can also
58
00:03:40,540 --> 00:03:44,750
still work with the shadows %uh
59
00:03:44,750 --> 00:03:52,000
the brightest areas as controlled by the
Naseem ask and
60
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:08,549
if I think it needs it even the
highlights
61
00:04:08,549 --> 00:04:10,520
so I think that's an improvement to the
62
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,150
areas now I wanna work on the color
balance in the more shadow areas of the
63
00:04:15,150 --> 00:04:15,670
image
64
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:20,400
let's evaluate the darks masks the darks
65
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,000
dark darks shattered arcs
66
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,210
supra darks and ultra darks
67
00:04:29,210 --> 00:04:33,570
think the shattered arcs or the Super
darks
68
00:04:33,570 --> 00:04:37,740
really make adjustments down and the
shadowed areas of the image
69
00:04:37,740 --> 00:04:43,700
while leaving the writers in the image
in effect think I'm gonna go with the
70
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:44,680
more restrictive
71
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,980
super darks to make sure that way
adjustments don't bleed into the
72
00:04:47,980 --> 00:04:48,970
highlight areas
73
00:04:48,970 --> 00:04:53,770
so I will controller command click on
the super dark mask
74
00:04:53,770 --> 00:04:57,380
this time all go back to an RGB channel
75
00:04:57,380 --> 00:05:00,520
first so I don't get the red quick mask
76
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,820
now make another color balance
adjustment layer
77
00:05:03,820 --> 00:05:08,910
the sage in the shadows feels a little
purple he blew it I want it to be more
78
00:05:08,910 --> 00:05:10,190
kind of steely gray
79
00:05:10,190 --> 00:05:13,760
so I can start with adjusting the
Midtown's
80
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,039
love the color balance
81
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:23,360
but I'm doing it through this
restrictive darks mask
82
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,960
so by go a little bit more towards
yellow
83
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,200
and a little bit more towards Scion
84
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,810
I can give more that steely gray color
i'm looking for.
85
00:05:34,810 --> 00:05:48,919
maybe a little bit more towards green
and I can also now move to the shadows
86
00:05:48,919 --> 00:05:53,190
and somewhere in there is going to be
balance that I want its
87
00:05:53,190 --> 00:05:57,949
try seeing that one before the
adjustment and after the adjustment
88
00:05:57,949 --> 00:06:02,389
feels a lot better let's take a look at
what these adjustments look like without
89
00:06:02,389 --> 00:06:03,380
the masks
90
00:06:03,380 --> 00:06:07,120
Wow you can see without that mask that's
completely
91
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,220
not the rate adjustment at affecting the
whole image this is the right
92
00:06:11,220 --> 00:06:11,810
adjustments
93
00:06:11,810 --> 00:06:14,930
and it's really just targeting shattered
areas
94
00:06:14,930 --> 00:06:19,160
else go down to are highlighted just
without the mask
95
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,990
again not the red adjustment and also
it's happening
96
00:06:22,990 --> 00:06:26,900
even into the shadows where we don't
wanna with the mask
97
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:31,889
it's just right and Alyssa the overall
before and after for this image
98
00:06:31,889 --> 00:06:36,790
I feel that's done a really good job
99
00:06:36,790 --> 00:06:40,880
love creating the proper color balance
release my intended color balance
100
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,479
in both the highlight areas in the image
and the shadow areas
101
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:48,220
now let's look at an example that's a
little different
102
00:06:48,220 --> 00:06:53,120
in this image I like the color balance
in the highlights
103
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,060
but there are a lot of Blues in the
shadows down here in the rocks
104
00:06:57,060 --> 00:07:01,620
and in the water let's see what it would
look like if I tried to make an
105
00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:04,000
adjustment to the blue shadow color cast
106
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,710
the color balance adjustment with no
nasty mask
107
00:07:07,710 --> 00:07:11,060
start with the shadows and
108
00:07:11,060 --> 00:07:14,389
bring in some yellows to those shadows
109
00:07:14,389 --> 00:07:19,710
perhaps Reds an
110
00:07:19,710 --> 00:07:23,060
magenta green looks okay
111
00:07:23,060 --> 00:07:26,289
so I've done a pretty good job
112
00:07:26,289 --> 00:07:29,760
neutralizing the Blues in the shadows
113
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,599
but as you can see it's also change the
color balance in my highlights
114
00:07:34,599 --> 00:07:38,690
even know I was using the shadow setting
in the color palette stool
115
00:07:38,690 --> 00:07:41,690
so let's turn visibility that layer of
116
00:07:41,690 --> 00:07:47,410
and try again with the luminosity mask
some to go the Tiki Actions panel
117
00:07:47,410 --> 00:07:53,389
I'm a degenerate all the darks masks and
then all value it does masks
118
00:07:53,389 --> 00:07:57,260
the darks
119
00:07:57,260 --> 00:08:00,320
dark darks shattered arcs
120
00
