1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:11,969
the do and Kurt nineties for
2
00:00:11,969 --> 00:00:16,610
RGG EDU now we're going to work on some
brussel sprouts
3
00:00:16,610 --> 00:00:21,510
so rob is given me to captures
4
00:00:21,510 --> 00:00:25,510
a brussel sprouts with a little bit
different lighting
5
00:00:25,510 --> 00:00:30,070
and in his notes he tells me that 173
6
00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:33,930
is the exposure he likes for the brussel
sprouts
7
00:00:33,930 --> 00:00:38,410
and he particularly likes the feel like
8
00:00:38,410 --> 00:00:42,230
inside at the skillet and 175
9
00:00:42,230 --> 00:00:45,600
has more dramatic lighting online this
that
10
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,770
so we're gonna bowl and these to
11
00:00:48,770 --> 00:00:52,410
exposures have the nice
12
00:00:52,410 --> 00:01:00,789
still and light in the brussel sprouts
summer select bout that my
13
00:01:00,789 --> 00:01:04,009
exposures and process them out no open
automatically
14
00:01:04,009 --> 00:01:23,060
in for a shop
15
00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:26,080
so 173 is kinda my hero image %uh
16
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,619
the skillet and the exposure for the
past brussel sprouts
17
00:01:30,619 --> 00:01:34,220
and 175 is the exposure that I
18
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:38,240
we like the background light and it's
just a lil there's a little
19
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:44,509
less highlight punch going on someone a
drag this exposure into the other one
20
00:01:44,509 --> 00:01:47,880
holding down my shift key so they'll
line up based on
21
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,649
the outside dimensions and the image
nice cuz then I can
22
00:01:51,649 --> 00:01:55,630
change my opacity and the two plates
23
00:01:55,630 --> 00:02:05,409
line up perfectly
24
00:02:05,409 --> 00:02:08,879
so to start blending these I'm just
gonna do this with a mask
25
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:14,269
and my paintbrush the kinda pained on
the parts that I want two years from my
26
00:02:14,269 --> 00:02:15,650
second exposure
27
00:02:15,650 --> 00:02:19,140
so the second exposure here the second
layer is
28
00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:22,450
for the inside at the skill at others
more
29
00:02:22,450 --> 00:02:25,920
tail light going on in the brussel
sprouts and
30
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:30,239
some nice highlights along the back ads
a the skill at
31
00:02:30,239 --> 00:02:34,010
said just kinda remembering where like
that
32
00:02:34,010 --> 00:02:37,260
I'm going to paint in I white
33
00:02:37,260 --> 00:02:40,260
to reveal that exposure in those
34
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:45,489
local areas so not just painting with
100 percent brash which we just put it
35
00:02:45,489 --> 00:02:46,540
in and one
36
00:02:46,540 --> 00:02:50,420
fell swoop instead I'm painting with the
Lara pasady brush
37
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:53,930
which allows me just to kinda slowly
build up
38
00:02:53,930 --> 00:02:57,340
the exposure to get it
39
00:02:57,340 --> 00:03:03,190
where I like it which just a right
tically paying attention to the back
40
00:03:03,190 --> 00:03:13,210
and shit this gil et
41
00:03:13,210 --> 00:03:17,820
and anywhere where the brussel sprouts
may start to get just a little too
42
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:19,400
bright and the highlight I'm
43
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,640
come back in just mask that of just a
little bit just to tell me nance down
44
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:28,660
ever so slightly going back to you the
exposure with the less
45
00:03:28,660 --> 00:03:33,710
delighted and doing that particular they
because Rob mentioned
46
00:03:33,710 --> 00:03:36,840
in his notes for me that this
47
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,590
still light might be just a little
bright so I know that he was questioning
48
00:03:41,590 --> 00:03:42,210
that
49
00:03:42,210 --> 00:03:47,130
so I'm questioning that as well and I'm
just going to address that by bringing
50
00:03:47,130 --> 00:03:48,660
just a little bit more time
51
00:03:48,660 --> 00:03:59,060
into those really specular highlights
52
00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:01,600
and so now I have my base level all
composite
53
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,760
done for the two exposures
54
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,820
I can look at any other a reason
55
00:04:07,820 --> 00:04:13,810
image that I might want to bring in I
kinda like some other high like going on
56
00:04:13,810 --> 00:04:15,040
this table surface
57
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,230
over here from our brighter exposure
samina
58
00:04:18,230 --> 00:04:25,930
I mask summit that and as well this to
bring a little
59
00:04:25,930 --> 00:04:29,390
emphasis a little the kids the image a
little direction have light
60
00:04:29,390 --> 00:04:40,090
I think bringing and just below
highlight their may be a long nap plate
61
00:04:40,090 --> 00:04:44,910
next step is in all images is all clean
up some money gambling Claire
62
00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:52,330
nice to name this cleanup so that you
remember what's going on on that layer
63
00:04:52,330 --> 00:04:56,040
I say it's nice to do you know I
64
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,640
that's a good habit to get into but it's
one that I don't necessarily
65
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,420
follow-up it all the time particularly
when I have a bunch
66
00:05:04,420 --> 00:05:08,090
images and I'm trying to get through and
67
00:05:08,090 --> 00:05:11,880
I just kinda create the layers and
68
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,490
it's pretty easy to figure out what
where does well at by turning it off and
69
00:05:15,490 --> 00:05:16,810
on later
70
00:05:16,810 --> 00:05:21,010
by particularly if you're new to working
with a buncha layers in
71
00:05:21,010 --> 00:05:24,130
it's easy to get confused about what
layer does what
72
00:05:24,130 --> 00:05:28,010
and so my best advice for you
73
00:05:28,010 --> 00:05:31,420
is to label now on give them
74
00:05:31,420 --> 00:05:35,900
name and I'll help you keep
75
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:42,870
what layers doing what straight in your
brain anything that catches the
76
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:44,640
highlight that shouldn't
77
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:52,520
just claiming that out a little bit on
78
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,330
as I'm cloning I'm kinda skipping over
79
00:05:55,330 --> 00:05:58,520
the in focus brussel sprouts for the
moment
80
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,310
I like to see sometimes I like to you
81
00:06:02,310 --> 00:06:06,860
do all the cleanup for the backgrounder
the secondary areas
82
00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:09,960
on Sun sure I got all that done
83
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:23,810
and then move on see the hero portion in
the image
84
00:06:23,810 --> 00:06:27,250
ultimately I just want to be sure that I
i look
85
00:06:27,250 --> 00:06:31,640
at and evaluate every square inch real
estate in the picture
86
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,570
for anything that needs to calm and what
or be simplified
87
00:06:35,570 --> 00:06:39,780
sometimes I approach it like graded
88
00:06:39,780 --> 00:06:43,270
in a really complicated him in certain
the top left corner and work down and
89
00:06:43,270 --> 00:07:05,630
then up and more down than up
90
00:07:05,630 --> 00:07:09,870
and sometimes others little things that
catcher II but you don't want to get
91
00:07:09,870 --> 00:07:13,500
rated them completely like these the
highlights on the back this'll brussel
92
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:14,250
sprout
93
00:07:14,250 --> 00:07:17,680
something about the shape Obama really
caught my eye
94
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,770
so I want to tone it down but I don't
want to remove them completely cuz it's
95
00:07:22,770 --> 00:07:23,610
nice that
96
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:28,400
and natural that they have a little
sparkle and highlight some cases like
97
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,050
that and just
98
00:07:29,050 --> 00:07:33,690
cloning amount maybe twenty percent
maybe thirty percent just takin' 'em
99
00:07:33,690 --> 00:07:42,080
out somewhat okay so I have my cleanup
is done
100
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,210
I just want to do a little bit a Curves
work
101
00:07:45,210 --> 00:07:48,640
to maybe look at adding just ahead have
contrast
102
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:54,730
typically I wanna find a way
103
00:07:54,730 --> 00:07:58,790
Fred to get the back edge in the skillet
to separate from that dark
104
00:07:58,790 --> 00:08:02,210
counter surface only be sure that I see
that
105
00:08:02,210 --> 00:08:05,820
step from
106
00:08:05,820 --> 00:08:09,470
