Which(messing with colors) is on it’s own a good way to train/learn to control WB/color. (The new colorpicker radius feature got me on this track). We where messing about in color, WB, detail, contrast, finecontrast : the “pop” so to speak. I was rereading this section and it hit me in the face, i didn’t build any partial pre-sets for WB/color control.Probably i am not experienced enough, or didn’t had the right images to create a partial pre-set as “tool”. In fact, let’s start with brightening the whole image (so, a “global” adjustment) until the face looks good.Hy all, just for fun, learning and exercise: His dark skin combined with the dim blue light has made him almost disappear though, so that’s something I need to fix without making the whole scene too bright. The worker was resting in the midday heat under a blue tarp, casting a cool blue light over the scene. It’s very blue, but that’s not incorrect white balance. The first primarily needs exposure adjustment plus brightening on the face, and the second needs noise reduction, cropping, darkening of the big rock in the foreground… and we’ll see what else they need as we go! Here are the two photos I’ll be working with: This article shows two examples of where to use global, and where to use local adjustments, using DxO PhotoLab 2 ELITE Edition. A little extra contrast here, some sharpening there, darken that background, brighten that face, make the sky bluer, pump up the saturation on the flowers… all local adjustments. But then there are special photos that require extra treatment. Sometimes the default, “auto” adjustments are enough, and sometimes you will manually adjust the sliders to get the image looking its best. The original RAW processing will add contrast and color, but then you’re likely going to do more. Pretty much every RAW photo needs adjustments the way a RAW files looks when it comes out of the camera is quite flat and undersaturated, which is by design.
