hi there hey my name's Dan Scott and this video here is the like the first chunk of a larger course called Lightroom Essentials it's about 80-ish videos so watch this video if you enjoy it and you want to go further and do the full course uh there'll be a link in the description but for now enjoy the course and I hope to see you in the full one [Music] hi there hey my name is Dan Scott and together you and me are going to take your photos and transform them into beautiful Dynamic images using Adobe Lightroom first up who is this guy what does he know uh well I am an adobe certified instructor and I've been working as a professional retoucher and a kind of creative professional for about 16 years now kind of balancing professional work with teaching that whole time I've won multiple Adobe teaching Awards and recently I crossed over 1 million students for my online courses like this one let's talk about what's in the course you'll learn best practices for white balance temperature and color correction will unlock masking together this will be a real turning point in a class where we really get our images to flourish we'll try and cover all types of Photography portrait landscape wedding night Wildlife Automotive event architectural drone travel product food Denon dress up what that is totally a genre you'll learn how to color grade like a professional simple grades and then we'll move into more distinctive powerful color grades to make your images really pop your retouch images making skin smoother eyes and teeth whiter make hair eyes and lips stand out and portraits need to remove parts from an image no worries Lightroom does this easily do you have a video that needs color grading as well Boom the same tools that we learned for photos can work for videos they'll even learn when and how it's appropriate to jump out to Adobe Photoshop do you have noisy and grainy images don't worry after this course you'll know the tools and techniques used to remove it all need to work fast you'll learn how to find and how to use the best presets Luts and profiles editing is exciting for sure but just as important is lightroom's amazing organizational abilities quickly sorting comparing searching grading and backing up your images now this course is aimed at people brand new to photo editing and photography in general we'll assume nothing and we'll start right at the beginning and work our way through step by step you might be using the biggest fanciest camera known to man or you might be a photographer using your cell phone that's mostly held together with sellotape it doesn't matter Lightroom is amazing for both we'll be using the newer Lightroom CC in this course uh not the older classic version though most of the techniques will cross from one to the other but we'll be focusing on Lightroom CC desktop I set class projects throughout the course so that you can practice your skills and develop your own unique images ready for your portfolio if you've never opened up Adobe Lightroom or you've opened it and struggled a little bit come with me and together you and me will take your good images and transform them into beautiful Dynamic photographs using Adobe Lightroom see in class and I promise that I will only use the words make it pop okay I think 48 times in the course promise that's it 49 including that one all right getting started uh first things first is download the exercise files so there will be a link on the screen here and you can download that all the files that we use in this course so do that first in that same file there'll be a shortcut sheet so kind of get that and print it off and stick it next to your disk and you can Circle the ones that you use a lot make sure you got the software installed if you haven't done that yet and you haven't signed up there is a link here it's an affiliate link there is a discount for you and there is a commission for me so we all win and also just make sure you're downloading the Lightroom okay Adobe just call it Adobe Lightroom there is Adobe classic or Lightroom classic not that one get the Lightroom version I talk really fast I try to keep it slow for this I talk normally a lot faster to my friends and poor family but there is a code in the corner down here a code a cog you can click on that and change the speed to half speed or if you some people think I talk to slow that's weird but you can speed me up as well also things are changing fast in this particular software and Lightroom this version of it is reasonably new for Adobe so they're adding things all the time if things do change have a look in the comments below the video if it's just something simple I'll just write in there or one of the other uh students will write in there if it's really big change I'll re-record it just let me know all right that is it getting started over let's get into the course hello hey this video we'll talk about what Lightroom is who it's for and how it compares to things like bridge and Camera raw and Photoshop Lightroom classic if any of those sound interesting as a topic okay and you're completely new to this world then continue on if you are like I know all that just get on with the course that's okay you can move on with the course I won't be offended if you Skip Along uh first up let's talk about what Lightroom is so let's start actually with who it's for it's for photographers beginning photography is super experienced photographers they all use the same product okay so that's what Lightroom is designed for and what does it do it organizes photographs and edits them and then exports them ready for either print or sending to your client so that's who it's for and what it does all right first let's compare photoshop with Lightroom okay they do there's a lot of overlap and in this course we'll do a bit of round tripping where we go from Lightroom to photoshop to Lightroom so it is Handy to know both you don't need to okay the differences mainly are the things that they do the same they do um basic retouching the same uh you know fixing exposures and your highlights and colors and doing all that sort of stuff can be done in either you can work with raw images in both because Photoshop has camera raw built in so that's that's where they overlap where they're different is Lightroom is a lot better at organizing if you've ever opened stuff in Photoshop and you're like I gotta open my photo shoot that I did today and I took a thousand photographs open in Photoshop Photoshop melts it wants to open a couple of photographs at a time and it's designed to do that okay and it has no way of organizing any of your photographs so you've shot them all and they all say dsc14742 photoshop's not going to really help with that in bulk okay so you need to open every individual image do the edits and save them and as a say a graphic designer or a web designer photoshop's great because you're only dealing with like the cream of the crop the things the photograph hair photographers finish with or stock photography okay so you just use Photoshop but as a photographer you've got a thousand photographs and what you might find is you adjust one of them and let's apply all the settings to all of the photographs can we do that in Photoshop no way can you do it you kind of can you can do actions and weird stuff and you can force Photoshop to do some of these things but Lightroom just copy and paste all the settings that I've made these media adjustments for on these thousand photographs and it goes okie dokie okay so that's where it's really beneficial using something like Lightroom and so great for organizing naming and applying to bulk edits okay great for retouching where Photoshop is better is when you get into things like masking okay you can do some basic masking in Lightroom that allows us we'll do it in the course we can mask different areas to do adjustments but say you want to clear cut somebody out you want to cut me out of here okay and put me onto a different background and then I don't know graft an alien's head on top okay compositions and montages and collages and that's photoshop's land okay so often as a photographer you're not going to be making every photograph into clear-cut alien head Dan okay so it's a special kind of things or special effects and that's where Photoshop is really great and I'll show you that we'll show you how to it's it's intended that um a lot of the licenses for buying illustrator sorry illustrator that's a completely different program and a lot of the licenses that you use to buy Lightroom well actually combine Photoshop as well as a kind of package deal because there's just some things that photoshop are good for clear cutting um adding text and all that sort of stuff is photoshop's throb and Lightroom is the doing great edits you know getting everything looking great doing it for lots of them organizing your photographs so yeah there's a place for Photoshop and it's not an and or if you're graphic designer you often just use Photoshop if you're a Lightroom you know if you're photographer you'll just use Lightroom but if you're doing a bit of both like me I end up going between the two all of the time let's talk about the two versions of Lightroom why do they have two versions of Lightroom I do not know but they do they I do know right and so there's Lightroom which we're doing in this course okay let's call it I actually call it I think Photoshop Lightroom even though it's I think they're just through photoshop on there to give it a bit of like brand recognition Okay but we just refer to it as Lightroom okay then there's Lightroom classic which is not the like it's the old version but it's still being supported if you know I mean it's not like an ancient one that nobody looks at anymore they just split it they Fork the program and said we want to do all this new stuff and Lightroom classic has become so full of amazing amounts of detail um you know and adjustments but it's been built up so long over so much time that they didn't want to say hey existing photography World we're going to cut it down because half of this stuff nobody uses okay probably uh you know only 1 8 of it actually gets used okay and the rest of it is is in there and a couple of people to use but we don't want to like forget those people so here you go we're going to keep supporting classic okay we're going to call it classic and we're going to keep supporting it so you've got all of the switches and dials and what they did was is okay let's remake this program to something a lot more usable okay for the the person who like in classic there is a hundred ways of doing the same thing whereas Lightroom there's two okay so they kind of just went all right there's new technology this is what most people use this is up to date we're going to support that in Lightroom and it just makes it easier for somebody like me who doesn't want to get into the Super granular detail okay or at least just once one or two ways to get into the Super granular detail it's not a cut down version they just give you they've just kind of removed some of the complexity if you open classic or camera Raw it's a little bit like whoa it's like it's heavy going like I'm pretty experienced and even then I'm like I don't know where all this does I'm freaking out okay where is Lightroom open enough I'm like ah like you can get a handle on everything be able to do everything so that's that's why there's two versions they supported the industry they didn't want to alienate them and that continue classic but Lightroom the one we're going to do in this course is the is the one where it's using a few more it's got all the good stuff that you need for kind of traditional photography but they're introducing a kind of bunch of AI and some other cool stuff that we'll do in the course which is pretty exciting for me and let's have a quick little look at um some of the things that get people confused about classic versus Lightroom so let me quickly jump on the screens over here clearly I'm pointing so these are the two different bits of software here compared on the Adobe site I feel like it's just really interesting to know what both of them do so you can make informed decisions there's a lot of stuff online with like oh you have to use classic or you've got to use this one here you can use either neither tool will make you a better photographer okay neither will the camera or the lens okay it's about experience and like there's way I prefer Lightroom but there are way better photographers with way better shots that work in classic than me okay so it's not really down to the tools but let's cover what the differences are between these two so the main difference for me is these okay down at ease of use most comprehensive and intuitive and streamlined so you're not missing out on anything in Lightroom there's just like one or two ways of doing stuff rather than the 10 or 20 ways of doing stuff in here okay so there's just stuff that people prefer to use and they'll stay with classic because they have workflows that work better in classic or they don't particularly want to use the you know the cut down version in Lightroom and cut down is the wrong word just they've chosen the best options you get what I mean so let's have a look at here um some of these like desktop only is a classic kind of like a traditional way of photo editing okay you save everything on your hard drive this one here has the same desktop version that's what we're going to focus on in this course but there's also a mobile and web version you can access and organize your photographs do editing these are a little bit more cut down than the desktop version okay there's only so much you can do on your mobile phone and through a website okay but they're updating those all the time we're going to focus on this course mainly on desktop we'll jump into Mobile on web okay towards the end but we're going to focus on this so there they're pretty comparable and this one here where are The Originals this one sometimes gets a little bit freaked out is that this one here is on your hard drive like you know and love and you've got a big storage drive and you've got them there and you own them and they're all sitting there this one here says Cloud what first put me off of this is like I don't want them all in the cloud I want them on my hard drive as well you can do that there's an option here that I'll show you to say and also on local hard drive so you can have both Best of Both Worlds but the nice thing about having Cloud option here is that the files are backed up automatically to the cloud okay you're given a chunk of storage through this version here and they'll just automatically get backed up whereas in this one here you'll probably still use backup okay for you'll probably use dropbox or Google drive or OneDrive or whatever you're using to do file backup it's just a little bit more manual okay whereas this is just kind of all built in ease of use we've talked about this one here is a really cool feature like doesn't seem like much but organizing and photo search this one here you have to kind of start tagging things yourself with keywords when it was done whereas this one here has some I like to say AI machine learning together because I don't really know the difference Adobe calls it Adobe Sensei which is pretty sweet okay but basically it does really cool things where they're leveraging some more of this AI slash machine learning and to do things like image searches you might have done it on your phone before some of them starting to do them some don't but I can do things like find pictures of Daniel Scott and it will go through all my images that I've shot okay and just find me or it'll say you can say I want to find a red car with a blue sky and it will go through and find red cars but only if there's a blue sky okay or you can put it in a location even though there might not have been geotagged and AI learning starts to do cool stuff about knowing what things are and what they look like and that's getting better and better and one of the cool perks for Lightroom so okay Lightroom classic awesome Lightroom also awesome we're going to be focusing on Lightroom and this course a lot of things will translate back and forth so if you do learn Lightroom Lightroom classic won't be a particularly hard challenge to get into but neither will make you a better photographer practice experience those things will and that's what we're going to do in this course practice get some experience get get better all right next one so let's talk about the difference between Adobe Lightroom and Adobe bridge and Camera raw as a combo so a lot of people will use those two as a photographer instead of Lightroom okay so um basically uh camera raw will take your raw photographs okay and do your editing okay and Bridge does the organization whereas Lightroom does those two things together so there's no reason why you can't use um camera raw and Bridge together there's something wrong with it loads of people do um but Lightroom is an all-in-one okay and if you're new especially camera raw can be quite daunting like like you know like classic is Lightroom classic okay there's a lot of ways of doing stuff okay and it gets into there's a lot of options to do the same thing or as Lightroom they've cut it down a bit you can still do all the same stuff okay you just don't have so many dials and so many different switches to go and do to get to the you know get to the result that you want and Bridge is great for organizing stuff but it's kind of designed for not just photographers but videographers and all sorts of other use cases for bridge so it does uh there's again a lot of depth to that program for organizing stuff and it does great things and but Lightroom is geared for photographers and does some of the kind of camera raw photography stuff a lot faster than Bridge does in some cases on some computers so there'll be people out there waving their hands at me no it doesn't okay but yeah Lightroom is especially the Lightroom version is really good at organizing and kind of doing bulk edits whereas camera raw and Bridge together can add a little bit of extra complexity so if you're new yeah do Lightroom because it combines the two if you know somebody doing a camera raw plus Bridge works perfect just a little bit more extra work potentially and those are those ones yeah camera raw Bridge versus Lightroom hello hey uh this video what we're gonna do is a kind of a complete walkthrough of like a typical process in Lightroom and we're going to take this image here and we'll transform it into this one so what I want to do here is kind of a typical workflow from you know importing images organizing them doing some color correction doing some color grading and editing and then exporting them because I don't I want to do that all quickly now so you've got an idea of like ah this is what Lightroom does in all its different parts and because I don't want you to get in later in the course you know and go Ah that's how it all goes together I want to do that in this video okay the trouble is I'm going to do it quite quickly and not be go into too much detail I'm just going to show you how I do stuff okay we're going to do it together okay and so we're going to do something together yeah the rest of this course is going to break out all these different things like color correction uh organization color grading I'm not sure what I'm doing with some hands uh exporting in more detail but for now I just want to give you a quick little run through get excited see how it all works and then we'll work through kind of more step by step with the course all right so let's jump into the computer and Lightroom alright so first up open up Adobe Lightroom and there's going to be lots of like welcoming and tutorials and stuff so uh skip all of that because that's that's my job and you might have used uh Lightroom before and regardless what we need to do is get to this little panel here so you can open and close it if it's not already open here it's called the photos tab and we're going to go to add photos okay we're going to go to browse okay browse and what we're going to need to do is we're going to say I would like to find the exercise files that I've downloaded okay and let's go to o1 Datsun open that up and I'm going to select all of these so I can drag across them all all you can shift-click them all select all of the images in this folder here and go review for import one thing to note when you are bringing something in just make sure at the moment we're going to create a new album okay and we're going to call it Deton so I'm just going to group them up together if you've already got lots of stuff in Lightroom we're going to talk about obviously albums later on in the course but just a way of grouping our images call it Datsun let's click create let's go to add these six photos and down here there's our album let's click on the debts and album all right this is my little uh weekend car little Nissan or Datsun Bluebird I've had it off the road for a little while got it back on the road yesterday I was like you know what I'll take photos of it in a car park and it'll be the subject matter for this video so depending on your Lightroom and your screen size down here you can drag up the sizes bigger or smaller can you see this little slider just makes our thumbnails bigger drag it up okay I'm on this first option here okay be on this view if you want to okay just so I can see them all and what we're going to do is just some real basic like or disliking of the images Okay so this one here with it selected you can see this little white box goes around it so I'm going to say you are ah do I like you are you a foster are you like that one that I don't really like three stars this one here I do like the day of the fields five stars even these two here don't like the composition of this one but I like this kind of part of the maybe we can crop into this one this one here I do like five stars any that I haven't numbered for this one here four okay so you can do some basic greeting uh at the beginning just by selecting on them and yeah choosing your stars down the bottom here very exciting right so you do the same go through and grade the ones that you like you don't like or at least the ones you like the most even if you don't like any of them then what we can do is Imagine This is like a thousand photographs or a hundred photographs not just I've just keep the file size small here we just got six okay and up here under the filters we can say actually show me the ones that are five star okay we can start working on just these ones potentially you might just grab both of these and say actually let's just export these as a JPEG we can send them to the client go hey what do you think of these ones before you start doing your editing okay what I'm gonna do is up here I'm going to clear the filtering Okay click on that actually just closes it you can say I don't want the ones that are five star or above okay so come out of there make sure you're still under your albums and under Datsun okay and the one we're gonna edit in this one is this okay even though this one got four star I've already written my notes okay and it's all around this one so to get into this one and start editing it you can either just double click it or switch from this grid mode okay over to the detail mode okay detail what I call that one photo grid okay so let's just double click it it gets really big you can see it on the bottom here here's the rest of them okay and you can still work through them okay but we're going to work on this first image here so have that one open now what we're going to do is kind of two parts of the editing first of all we do correction so it's going to fix it because it's really you know it's underexposed at the moment and you know that it's hard the sky nor the car are in a good space but we can fix that while we're here in Lightroom once we get it kind of uh you know fixed looking natural then we'll go through and add uh the color grading and the effects afterwards which is not always what you're going to do maybe just fixing them but we'll go through the whole process here so I'm going to go through a really common process I'll leave out any of the really difficult stuff because we'll do that later in the course but let's go through a nice easy edit okay and what you want to do this is your editing options here click on this one and the cool thing about Lightroom is that they've organized them basically in an like an order of what you should probably do first so when you're new start with like work with color work with effects and then get into these other ones later on if you need to often you don't have to get into these last ones which is really cool they've put them in a consistent order the other nice thing is under light they've put in the most important all the way through to the least important at the bottom and actually least important is not the right terminology it's more to do with like which you do first and which do you do last which are the big tweaks which are the little ones and the first big tweak is not even a tweak what I like to do is grab the exposure and just move it down and up what you will find is there's going to be lots of pop-ups everywhere trying to get you to do stuff you're going to have to try and skip that if you are new to Lightroom back to this okay a lot of closing pop-ups but for the moment like the first thing I do on any image okay is just drag this all the way down and all the way up what I'm looking for here is I'm not trying to correct it I'm just looking to see what information is here watch this so this is it in the middle okay if I drag it all the way up can you start to see like in the middle check out like the information above this wheel here it's gone there's nothing in there it's all black except when I drag the exposure up look at that there's plenty of information in there I don't want it because there's an ugly old um power box for the for the aerial okay I don't want to see that but that information is there I can see through the gorilla here to the radiator fans there's all sorts of information that that particularly I don't want but there will be some images where you're like oh look at all that stuff in there it's awesome I'm gonna get that out okay and same with coming down here let's have a look can you see all this really cool detail all the LEDs okay in the headlights look at these tiny little LEDs in here with it back up here it looks like kind of one big smoosh I'm going to click once to zoom in we're going to do our first shortcut which is command on a Mac control on a PC and hit plus let go and you should get your little hand here that you can click and drag around if you don't get it tap spacebar spacebar kind of toggles between the two and can you see in here I've zoomed them enough that they all look like they've blurred together but if I do the exposure right down look they start all this individual information in there look at that good stuff ah Bluebird that gives me a kind of a good indication of like what information is available before I start correcting or fixing or editing what we're going to do is go back to fit see down the bottom here let's click fit and that was it that's all I do give it a shake to see what's in there okay because sometimes look at the clouds there's loads of cool stuff in there okay but here it all looks like it's all Overexposed so that's my first step the next little shortcut I'm going to show you is double clicking these little guys here if you want to get back to zero instead of doing this oh come on come on come on get zero too fat just double click them they go back to where they started so the first thing I do now is one of two things I fix the exposure or under color I fix the temperature intent depending on What's called the white balance depending on which is worse okay the white balance is not bad in here it's uh the camera shot at okay and it's not too like here it's not too blue and it's not too orange okay so remember double click it to get it back to where it was okay so I'm not worried about that so it's either that because sometimes it's really way out and there's no point fixing like going through and fixing all these finer details when this thing is like completely like shot at the wrong white balance or something just weird happened okay so and I fixed you know either temperature intent first to get the white balance right or I fix the exposure depending on what's worse and in this case it's the exposure okay it's dark the car is really dark and the sky is yeah not good either so we're going to work in light what I like to do and what you'll see in this course is I'll close these up you can have them all open it just gets a bit scary you're like so much information okay so what I like to do is just close them up okay and I do it when I'm working professionally as well like it's not like I like to keep them closed okay so we're going to start with light and the cool thing about it is you just work your way through all of these and if you hover above the names it'll tell you what they do but basically don't worry too much about the definition okay if you're a photographer you probably know exposure contrast in a few of these I'll explain them more in the course but when you're editing what you're doing is your click holding on this one and not so much looking at oh you know how much exposure am I going to go over okay all right we're going to go up one or 1.2 what we're doing is just dragging and looking at the image not carrying where it ends up and what I find is especially when somebody's new they're like just dragging in they're looking they're dragging and looking what you want to do is is don't be afraid to give it a good old jiggle around and what I do is I'll Jiggle It quite big I'm moving my mouse back I'm looking at my image okay and what I'm doing is I'm just trying to find where I feel like the middle ground is for this thing and another good tip is don't worry about trying to fix everything okay I've picked an image where we can kind of fix everything this guy and the car in one shot okay and just to make this this introduction easier but later in the course what I'll do is you know there'll be a really oversaturated sky or you know Overexposed guy and under exposed um you know Focus subject there'll be night shots where we've got to break those up but for the moment what you want to do is just identify the most important thing it might be the foreground of a landscape image it might be the object or the model in our case it's the car here so don't worry about the sky don't be trying to fix that at the same time that can be fixed separately and what I'm doing here is again not trying to fix it all just trying to get some sort of happy medium of where I want it to be and you're like well how do I know if it's better or worse okay you can use the Long Way see this button down here before after before after just give it a click okay and what you'll find is a really handy shortcut if you've printed out your shortcut sheets you'll see it there at the top okay there is the backslash key your backslash key if I hover above it this one here can you see it says show original okay so if you do are looking for the shortcuts for something you do all the time can you see there's a forward slash and a backslash okay make sure you're using the backslash okay see the back one leans back you got it okay so before after you're gonna be hitting that button all the time so start with exposure then just work your way through again with contrast now contrast is an interesting one basically there is a basic rule it could be just my rule is move it up a little bit 10 20 it just looks nicer in my opinion everything needs a little bit of contrast especially if you're shooting raw images over jpeg if you're not sure what that is we'll cover that later in the course as well but often contrast just drag it up a little everything looks better with a bit more contrast again use our backslash highlights okay again we'll explain these a bit more detail but just work back highlights is kind of the not quite white but close to White you're adjusting those okay so a lot of the clouds a lot of their sparkles in here that's what we're going to be doing so dragging it along yeah there's not much to do in this particular image I want to get a bit of this guy back but I know later on there's going to be a better way to get it so I'm going to kind of just get it remember forgetting about the sky just looking at the car because we can get this guy separately there's not a lot to do here okay and I had no idea where it was I was just dragging it back and forth and I left it at minus 24. you might leave it at zero okay uh Shadows let's go quite a lot of work to do in here what do I want to do I want this kind of compromise of seeing some of the details of the wheels without seeing my duty in a my you know wheel wells Okay so funny I left it at -5 it might as well be zero okay because I haven't done a whole lot so I'm going yeah yeah yeah we don't need it minus nine cool that's consistent whites okay again I'm not trying to fix the clouds I'm trying to fix the car and moving the weights the whites are kind of like pure Parts highlights are kind of everything that's in the lightish space whites are the pure whites okay let's just go you I like this contrast that appears in here against the the useless Wing mirror okay go let's look at the blacks there's quite a bit of work to do down here in the foreground well it just it can control light of it remember when worrying about the ground so much remembering about the subject the car and I feel like there's making the absolute blacks a bit blacker is what I want to do backslash on backslash off backslash on off on off on off better worse now I'm going to be honest I always over edit my images subtlety is not something I'm good at I like to like bam look I'm here I've done something awesome ask me who edited this okay whereas there'll be a lot of you out of there out there who'll be like wanting to capture it great in camera and just doing subtle tweaks and there's just there's something to know about me if I say always drag up contrast you might decide that you do not always drag up contrast you might be dragging it down Dan is an over editor right the next one that I do a little bit of work in for correction is color okay and this will depend on your image ours is not too bad okay and the color the white balance here and depending on your image mine doesn't need a lot of work it seems to be okay drag these left and right like do I want to do warmer or cooler okay double click it to reset it does it need to be more green mean or more magenta unlike either of those I'm just going to double click it and leave it but that's something you might have to do the other thing is part of my process is Vibrance Vibrance just bumps up the color a little bit like too far okay and I always move it up a little bit remember Dan that over edited it though so just a little bit of Vibrance I don't touch saturation but I do touch is this thing here color mixer so this is where you can go through and say actually the Reds in this image I want them to be more saturated or less saturated okay and you can just pick a couple of colors okay especially if it's landscape it might be the greens yellows in my case the focal uh you know the focal point is this red color so I'm going to grab the Reds and say just be a bit more saturated and the luminance might be up or down a bit depending on what we want to do here we go backslash on back face off what you can do is backslash turns every bit of editing on and every bit of editing off what you can do is see these light boards eyeballs eyeballs okay you can see just the color on you hold it down click and hold as the color changes that I made so subtle you might not think so okay and you can work on the light just the color you know just the light changes leaving the color alone so just a way of individually turning these little adjustment bits off so what I'd like to do is probably the greens I don't want them in this image I just want to pull them back it's not part of the focus of this image they can stay there but the greens can be lower the saturation and often that's it for kind of correcting images getting it as good as it can be backslash on backslash off or remember you can toggle it down here okay you know fixing images that is color correction and that's kind of the most of the work that I do grab exposure check what you've got okay see what's in there okay what's actually available to dig out and have a look at okay and then just work your way through contrast up a little bit okay uh highlights Shadows whites and blacks are all very individual for the image and your tastes but just work your way through those and then under color make sure your temperature and tint are something that you like Vibrance up a little bit and potentially for some little tweaks go into the color mixer pick the colors that you want to adjust and either change the Hue of them the saturation or the luminance and get it to a point where you're happy now we haven't added any like really specific you know grading or effects like you saw at the beginning there we'll do that next but often sometimes you're doing this to this sort of point and what the next step for this which will be later in the course will be masking out the sky and working that on that separately that's a bit Advanced for this earlier in the course we're just doing a quick run through here but color correction is boring let's do color grading and that's where this effects panel and a bit of color comes in now in terms of order these aren't particularly the in any order maybe just me like the first thing I do for anything video photograph vignette drag it to the left job done uh you know generations of photographers spent time uh trying to remove vignette from lenses and the first thing I do is go and do it because I feel like a draw was the eye to the center Jerk it to the right it becomes white I'm not sure why you'd want to do that you might love it but a vignette and again I overuse vignettes okay just do all the time okay so remember you can turn the eyeball off on effects on just click and hold it down okay and decide whether you're into it or not I love a good vignette and then the next one is D Haze dehaze comes with great responsibility uh this is like lens Slayer from Photoshop you shouldn't add it to every single image but you're gonna because it's so awesome which says dehaze left or right it's meant to be used for Skies or for like mist or Haze it's what's called dehaze but it just looks good for everything we're going to drag it up okay it's obviously crazy but look how cool it makes things look you might be shaking your head okay but just a little bit of dehaze look at this oh on off on off all especially in the sky watch this I'll turn it all the way up just to see the sky look what it's done here in the sky dehaze the sky look what it was before look what it is now so much cool stuff in there okay so obviously too far what I have to do with myself is go oh that looks really cool and when I'm really happy with it go back a little bit okay so d Haze is a lovely way of kind of exaggerating some of the effects in here we won't go too we'll go to it in a bit of detail later on oh I want to go through so much more here in this video but we're kind of just leaping into the course not explaining too much so we've done enough we've done color correction so kind of got it to a nice point then dumped into the effects and I want to jump into it all and just start editing this forever okay but I feel like it's a good enough Point we've added some effects to it actually one last thing I want to do can't stand the blue in the sky so I'm going to my color color mixer Blues don't be so saturated not all the way down but just something more believable than that crazy thing that the dehaze did okay one last thing to count myself color color grading Shadows towards the teal uh highlights towards the orange before before after I love that effect anyway we'll cover it properly in the course amongst a load of different options and styles but I want to show you now is the real power of Lightroom because we've done this correction and Grading and what we can do down here in my film strip now I can click on this one okay and I can go to edit and go to copy I can go back to my film strip see down here little icon and say you actually let's open up this one and go edit paste get ready mind blown automatic vignette I think okay and all the corrections from that last image came along so often you know photo shoots are all done at the same play Same lens similar lighting conditions you can go through and just dump them onto all of them once you're happy with them or at least your client's happy with them I'm going to go back to the grid here remember I've got mine quite big so you can see them all okay so I can select on this hold shift click on this last one to select them all and you're like he's gonna yes he is look at this paste all of them watch them all change oh look at that that tealy orange goodness that is uh Lightroom superpower double click on it to get into the detail view backslash on off oh very exciting then you go back to here and you say all of you okay went back to my grid select all of them and say give me a large sheet pig to send out man I love Lightroom in their tiny little car but for now it's class project time let's get you set up for that in the next video all right it is not homework time it is fun class project set by your teacher they're very different okay so I'm gonna do class projects throughout this course it's going to be one of many you can choose to do them you don't have to the goal is to put what you've learned into practice now at this stage what have you learned very little Dan you didn't explain it very well okay so we're gonna call this one Reckless blind editing because I give you permission to do it terribly alright I've added a few extra little things there but yeah it is about picking up what you have from that last kind of session we did together and just giving it your best or worst shot you have permission to be new at it and I want you to do a couple of things three things I want you to pick a photo I actually one two three four things four border points then so pick your own image okay your own image or there you go or something from a free website I've given you some websites to get photography from particularly raw format photographs if you're unsure what that is we'll do that in a bit so you just pick jpegs if you like so something of your own or something from one of these websites they they change quite a bit so one of these might not work that's why I've got the new four of them grab an image I want you to do two things correct the photograph and then grade the photograph so correcting member is getting the contrast right the exposure ride getting the highlights and darks getting that kind of like spending a lot of time in this tone panel okay over here so under the Light Panel sorry okay and in maybe touching it up in the color panel okay and getting it right and then okay or getting it how you feel is right and then saving it out as a small jpeg so that is in the top here click on this and be you know export for a small jpeg okay the next step is I want you to grade the photograph okay so grading or adding effects to it is giving it a theme like you don't have to go down the like Batman Gotham City Vibe that I did in the last one because that's what I do on all my images you can do anything you want or nothing don't don't put too much pressure on like getting a style right and we'll go through this course I'll show you how to do all the different styles you'll find a bit of your own technique but for the moment this is The Reckless blind editing okay so just get in there get stuck in so correct the photo grade the photo and um if you're doing the course upload it to the assignment section or the comments or the projects depending on where you're doing this just love to see what you're up to if you use the hashtag starting Lightroom okay that gives you permission you can even write it in your comment like hey my first ever edit okay because it can be tricky when you are sharing creative work okay but if you you add this and just explains my first ever edit hey let some feedback especially if you share it with these Instagram groups for bringing your laptop Instagram groups all the groups there's a great Facebook group as well as Instagram as Twitter and Linkedin whatever is your kind of like home on social media tag me share it in the group it's a great place if you are new uh to anything especially in the creative industry to share work without it being kind of like hey that's not even that good it's not meant to getting started so use that hashtag as well so people know and it's great to actually have that online because it's Brave and scary and do it but it's also great to go back to when you are a bit more experienced and go ha look at that guy okay all girl and say it's embarrassing at the time when you're just learning I know it you like you make something and you want to burn it afterwards you know it's like I want to be better and I don't want to share this because I don't want to be judged on this version but your future self will look back and go man I wish I had that you know copy of that first ever edit that I did or I don't know composition or thing I made people have a tendency of abandoning them because they're like I don't know embarrassed by them but if we get started sharing them now you'll be able to go back to them later on and especially in these sorts of groups here okay Instagram Facebook Twitter LinkedIn these are great places to share it because it's full of other people on the same sort of Journey so grab an image either your own or for one of these sites correct it save it grade it save it and then upload it to the assignments and or social media tag me and we'll keep doing all the different edits and class projects throughout the course and we'll see your progression it'll be fun we'll do it together all right video over I'll see in the next one hi hey let's talk about uh raw format images if you are experienced and you know what raw format is you can Skip Along uh that's okay if you have never heard of it or a little bit unclear why raw is so important uh stick around Let's uh explore it in this video with some examples all right uh Raw versus jpeg uh raw's evil twin is jpeg there's nothing wrong with the jpeg okay and often people will shoot both so let's talk about the differences uh the real world you have lots of information coming in right like there's lots of tone and color and okay all sorts of information that your camera can absorb through the sensor okay way more than it can put into the little rectangle that is your image okay so it's Gathering loads of it and that's what you're doing you're adjusting all the settings to see what of that information you want to keep and what you want to throw away and that's what you do when you hit click on a JPEG okay you decide you make a decision on the you know the the color the exposure the lights the darks are highlights what you're gonna do okay like this image here you you know if I go if I make this video you can shoot raw video as well so if I make this like super dark okay or super light I probably want it somewhere in the middle like this okay so you make those decisions you take a snapshot and that's great you've got it you're done okay what raw does is it actually captures more information than that little rectangle can you know that you can see on the rectangle it's like going back in time you can open up your raw image and go actually I want to change my exposure I want to make it darker or lighter okay or somewhere in between or mask Parts out okay mask me out so that the background's darker and the foreground is lighter okay so it gives you more you know uh information to work with you can only ever see the one rectangle but you can kind of go ball forwards and back and find the parts that you want kind of exaggerate different parts so that is that a good example of what a raw let's just I'll show you in Lightroom I'll show you some good and bad examples of Raw versus jpeg all right so you can play along and then in Lightroom I'm going to open up my photos tab and I'm going to add some photos and what you'll see is in the exercise files there is a raw folder O2 raw and I want to bring in everything from this folder and what you might notice is that there's actually only two images okay a JPEG and a raw version of it okay same photograph um two different formats and you're like I can see jpeg what that's not raw that's mixed up Raw arw okay um every camera manufacturer actually has a different extension for all it's not a generic one the generic one is dng for a digital negative it is still a raw file okay that just called something different Nikon like have nef for our Nikon raw file clearly that is Sony arw Canon have like CR or W and CR2 and cr3 so you'll get used to whatever your camera raw file is it'd be right next to the jpeg it's gonna be something so I'm going to bring in all four of those I'm going to bring it into an album I'm going to putting it into none album it's going to dump hours into Lightroom and depending on yours okay it'll probably default to show me all the photos that have been put in just now okay or you can see all the photos that are in Lightroom I'm going to look at the ones just now to tidy it up and it's got these two these two these are really good examples so there's my JPEG and there's my arw so let's open up the arw version okay the raw file double click it and I'm going to go to my settings and all I'm going to do is drag the exposure like it's a cool shot I love it okay but let's just say you want to go back in time and you're like actually I want to bring in some of the look surprise loads of information okay that was potentially lost okay that is all in and around here but let's do the same thing to the jpeg so down the film strip if you can't see the film strip click on this okay go to the jpeg version okay how do you know it's the jpeg version because we started on the raw format it's not super easy uh you can go to the information option down here that's the jpeg version that my friend is the raw version jpeg raw cancer set there that is the eyeball there so I'm going to go back to editing I'm going to go back to this first one and I'm going to say do the same thing with my jpeg no problem look here it comes here oh it's there okay but it's just not as good there's just not as much information captured jpegs you'll get away with a load okay and you can do some amazing things just shooting jpeg you can make some adjustments it's the big adjustments that you might want to do you just can't do in objective format and you need raw so the same with this one okay which is which I'm going to hit my little eye down here this is the jpegs first and my raw file is second so I'm going to start with my raw file and I'm going to say edit exposure come all the way up I'm not fixing the photograph but I'm like hey look at that some ugly looking cars down there so you probably don't want that but hey let's say we do we need the ugly looking cars I can drag it all the way up okay and then I can click on this same one okay jpeg is the same size okay dimensionally is the same quality shot there's just not as much information in there you're like well that looks alright what's wrong with it same same let's have a little look at comparing the two so we'll do caveman comparing let's zoom in so we've learned the shortcut command plus or Control Plus on a PC so do that a few times a few times I did it about four you heard the clicks for revive and then nothing selected okay and just click and drag this little hand okay and let's find I don't know some bits let's look at this building here a bit of the trees and if I just click on this other the raw version it will kind of comparably go to the same place it's pretty clever that way look at all the information in here and it takes a little while to process so wait but you can see all this there's no color there's no real tone it's still grainy because it's uh you know you can't go back and change the iso but look at all the information that it did capture amongst the trees in the cars because of the cars that we definitely need they're actually all right look at the Audi badge okay let's have a look at that it's just a smush jpeg format so you don't always need it but it's handy to have and if you can shoot it shoot it raw awesome even better shoot in raw and jpeg you'll find most cameras shoot both so that if you just want to go quick and easy and just use jpegs awesome you got them but if there's that one photograph they're like oh I wish I could get into those uh you know into the bushes a bit better or see some of the internal parts of the image look at that versus this one ah hey there hey I thought I'd just kind of squeeze in between these two videos here to check on you see how you're going with the kind of like free course if you're enjoying it if you're thinking this is kinda like me this is really helpful uh what's really helpful for me if you like the video go and do it uh And subscribe to the channel as well and if you're like actually this is really good I want to go further remember this is the first part of a longer course okay there is actually 88 just checked there's 88 videos in total and you're only watching the first few of them so if you're enjoying it and you want to go further with your Lightroom uh check out the link in the description come join me for the full course all right but for now let's uh you can carry on with the cool free stuff like And subscribe welcome back uh this video we're going to talk about the uh weirdness of navigating Lightroom it's a little bit strange compared to other creative programs or any other program it's got its own little way of doing things they get easy as you use it by the end of this course you will Master it let's go through some of the interesting things that it does first up make sure you can see loads of stuff if you can't go back up to here and say all photographs please okay just to see everything you've got so far okay and let's look at the first one let's open up an image any image I'm going to pick up the dab check okay and I just double click it to open it you can double click it to go back to grid view double click it to open it double click to go in double click you got it double clicking now zooming in and out now there is a couple of ways the boring way okay fit is just going to try and squeeze it into your screen and then 100 is like as good as the pixels can be any more okay if you zoom in twice as much okay you'll start to see a lot more detail but you'll start to see some of the pixels okay so this is the boring way zoom in and out we don't want the boring way we want the good way so I've gone back to fit and let's do it the fancy way and the way I do it is I hold down my command key on a Mac Ctrl key on a PC and just drag around something so give that a go command key on a Mac just hold it down control key on a PC and just drag around something and you're in to get back to fit the default is always fit hit spacebar it kind of just toggles between where you were back to fit it's just really handy if you're kind of like remember hold down command key control key on a PC drag around something really detailed okay and you're like oh yeah that's great great but you're making changes making editing okay changes but you want to see what it's doing to everything as well so spacebar toggle in toggle out toggle in toggle in you get the idea that's the way I do it if you are um not quite a shortcut person there is there's about 10 different ways I'm just going to give you two you pick one for the rest of the course okay so we're gonna go spacebar back to fit okay remember my command or control key is one way okay the other way is just a click hold for a little bit okay can you see the cursor change so click hold for a little bit and then just drag right or left right or left up to you okay the same thing happens though once you've let go spacebar back to where you were spacebar back in here you go there are other ways of doing it as well if you find another way and you're like huh that's the way for me good and congratulations one of the many ways of zooming and it took me a little while to get used to it so spacebar come all the way out and the next thing I want to show you is well actually just to mention the hand only appears when you're zoomed in you see that like I didn't do anything I just hit space bar okay to get back to my old zoom level or let's go to the caveman way let's go zoom in to 400 okay so you see the hand appears just appears all by itself it's best about to get back out to fit okay uh another thing we have talked about is grid view versus uh detail view so we're in detail view now hit G on your keyboard go back to grid okay so G and D look at your keyboard now look down there look at that D and there's a space and there's a g probably I don't know what language your keyboard's in uh but what's in between if wonder what happens when we had that one hit that one go you have to have something selected hopefully when full screen ha this is handy when you are doing that like have I made it better or worse like I often hit F to go full screen and then I slide back off way back here and I'm like oh looks terrible what have I done or I'm a genius okay so slide back in here so f is just a nice way of kind of looking at the entire screen all together okay back to D or G get you back to kind of this um you know these different ones so here you go they're all down here if you want the long way there's two grids so if you tap G twice you get this one which I quite like or the other one okay which is more rectangles and gives you a bit more information both are useful d and f look at them right next to each other on the keyboard okay I won't go from F to D will it f to D it won't how about that all right so those are our settings kind of for different views one thing you can do is see this film strip down the bottom here sometimes it's really nice to see it and sometimes it's just a bit distracting so let's say we're working on this image here and actually we don't want to see this film strip you can just pop it in down here okay you can see this little option just collapses it down up down up down up down you can still do your edits okay but sometimes it's not really helpful to see sometimes it is because you're actually in detail View and you're actually just having a hunt through stuff what you can do is like there's Dev trick here if I'm in the middle here I can use my left and right arrows I don't even have to click on it down here but I'm working on this and I'm doing my contrast and I'm zoomed in okay and I'm like oh great here he is just use my left and right arrow and it will just toggle through the different images down here in my film strip which can be handy when you're zoomed in to like just to make sure the focus is you know which which image has the best Focus so just left and right on your arrows uh on your keyboard all right that's going to be it um just enough to get us going if you're like wow it was all too much too early don't worry I'll mention them all throughout the course remember there's a shortcut sheet and there's probably another four or five ways of doing everything so if you find it awesome all right for now though let's carry on with the course actually before I go he doesn't look as friendly in this Photograph does he beautiful bird you'll also notice that there was a bit of a delay here it's another thing to notice pixelated not pixelated okay it just happens it tries to load things really quickly so you can you know like scrub through things really nice and fast and it takes a little while to get the like high quality version it's a bit of a trade-off of speed and then loads it up you might not even notice you might have a better computer than me it might be fast you also might be on a really bad computer and it may take a really long time to load and adjust these things and yeah Ram is what you need lots of it all right that is it navigation in Lightroom and its weirdness over hi everyone in this video we look at this Auto button over here ready City fire oh it's pretty good and before you think hey Auto's cheating and useless it is not this one is powered by artificial intelligence I'll also show you how to do it individually to different settings here in the Light Panel we'll discuss these eyeballs some sweet shortcuts and some interesting Lightroom organizational weirdness it has all right first up let's bring in some photographs so let's click this little icon up here or we're going to introduce some shortcuts can you see it there kind of pops up P for photos okay who's that one all the time p p on your keyboard okay um let's just go hit the icon it's better don't be on your keyboard everyone uh let's go to add photos Okay and in your exercise files there is a 03 light Corrections okay and in there I want to bring in these uh where we are images okay so there is one two three four five six of them okay so bring in all of them I've got a couple of raw photographs because I I've made the rest of them jpegs just for the file size can you see raw files can be really big so just to keep this class exercise files not so ginormous I've just converted those to jpeg okay so bring in all of these okay and I'm gonna have them all ticked I'm going to click add photos okay and I'm gonna work on this like second one here okay it's kind of dark you can kind of make out the burden there remember I've got these little sliders okay decide how big these are okay uh get yours appropriate for your computer and we're going to work on this uh where we are it's called a what is it called uh dab check it's a native New Zealand bird the photographer is Phil Botha friend of mine amazing photographer uh check them out on Instagram there's this guy here just amazing native New Zealand Birds is this thing that man is up early in the morning with a giant lens amazing stuff follow him thanks Phil all right so we're going to work on this one here so let's double click it to open it okay and we are going to look at the auto settings okay so we're going to go over here to the edit and we're going to click this button here and be amazed ready City Auto oh now Auto settings in the past if you're like I don't use Auto settings I'm professional it's kind of changed lately with the auto settings like if you've done Photoshop Auto settings it's kind of like a canned well earlier on um in Computer World Life Auto settings was kind of like a generic thing that kind of worked okay on some images what happens now is that it's using artificial intelligence okay I don't call it Adobe Sensei and it actually looks at the image and works on that particular image from a huge database of other birds shot in similar situations it's pretty amazing and it's always getting better okay so Auto is not just generic it looks at specific things in this image in artificial intelligence stuff happens it's pretty awesome even more powerfully is if you go back to G for grid okay to get back into this grid mode G on your keyboard okay uh you can just do it for a bunch of them this is really handy when you've got loads of images okay and they all just need this similar sort of adjustment okay so select all the ones you want to just I'm just working on clicking on this first one hold shift go on these ones okay right click it and you can go apply Auto settings to four photos think Auto think crazy smart uh and artificial intelligence that's what I want to say so edit undo edit redo and that's super handy when you've got a big photo shoot and you just want to like get it in do some basic edits and get it out okay it's not something super special where you're going to spend a lot of time on auto settings can get you there okay then you with them all selected you can go and Export a small jpeg for whatever they're being used okay let's bring in another image and let's do auto just for each of these settings okay so p and go to add photos let's click on that one okay grab a deer let's grab a df5 for the moment okay let's bring it in that's the one I want okay let's go to my edit settings now the shortcut for this if there's too many shortcuts don't worry I'll cover them loads can you see if a hover above it says e e for edits we do that all the time P bring stuff in E for edits you just toggle it to close it again okay so Auto's cool but it does it for everything and let's say you don't want that you can go to edit undo and you can just hold down the shift key okay can you see I'm just holding the shift key on Mac or PC it's holding it down you can see they've all changed to Auto you just click on them let's say you only want the exposure that's it and then carry on your Merry way or you want to look at Auto Vibrance because that's something maybe like me you can get carried away with okay like I'll let the artificial intelligence decide where are good starting point is okay so holding down shift you can do individual ones or or them if you click them all okay so that's just the optional way of adding Auto another useful thing in Lightroom is these little eyeballs here okay so we've been looking at light and I've been using these little Chevrons to close things down okay anything that has a little eyeball next to it is something that you've changed okay in our case it was Auto okay we clicked on auto it changed stuff for us uh can I go back far enough you wait down I'm going to undo loads all right we're back to the beginning I'll just ham it away at the undo key okay and watch this there's no little eyeballs okay these are quite if I hit Auto it means that Something's Happened in here some things happened in here like there's lots going on in here but it's just handy to kind of know those eyeballs and nothing's happened in here here here so it hasn't gone through everything just these two okay and what you can do is you can say well what did it do in light click hold the eyeball okay clicking holding with your mouse let go hold down let go hold down let go okay it just toggles a way of going okay what happened to light okay just because remember we use that backslash which is awesome okay the um this is the option down here to turn everything from when you first imported it okay from the camera to everything that's been applied okay so that's really good for that that's backslash key okay but in here you can break it down and say just show me the color changes you can see in here you're like man it's done very little in here okay just a teeny tiny bit you can kind of see it around here and click once okay and I'm going to say you can you see in the door actually let's go into uh let's go into 300 okay clicking and dragging with my hand you can see the color is it's quite a bit of a change in the blue there's not much else okay whereas the light there's quite a bit of an adjustment so you can actually just click on these to see what's changed let's go back to fit all right so that's the auto settings great way to get started great for bulk editing and you can do little individual Autos by holding down shift but if I'm honest often I'll just hit the auto button okay and then go through and go oh that's just that was a bit a little strong there like okay so often I'll do it that way rather than trying to go through them individually now that was meant to be the end of the video and I did finish it but I've come back because there are some strangeness with Lightroom okay in terms of the file organization so if we go back to remember what was the shortcut for getting back to grid view you remember G the G huh just one okay what happens is let's open up this little tab here okay it's showing us not all photographs it's showing the recently added that were recently added in the last five minutes just a way of um Lightroom trying to kind of stop it being a big mess okay which can be a little tricky when you're new because you're like what happened to the um dab chick the bird where did that go well that one's in the last 15 minutes okay so it's kind of broken them into these little groups without you asking okay so that can be useful but also sometimes when you're new just click on all photographs and there they all are everything you've got which after a little while will become useless because you'll have thousands of them so that's how that works if you do find something's gone missing okay it's probably been separated them out by Lightroom trying to be helpful all photos let's do that be on all photos and I'll see in the next video hi everyone in this video we're going to go backwards I'm going to show you how to undo reset reset partially all of the edits we're doing over here in our edits panel first up I quickly showed you edit undo I use the shortcut command Z automatic control Z on a PC and just goes back one step back back back back okay so I'm going to turn the auto back on there so undo you probably know already we do know the backslash okay not the forward slash the backslash okay it's on all sorts of different keywords it just kind of toggles on and off edits that you've done versus the original but the big one is I don't want to just toggle it as in just show the original I want to go back to the original and just get rid of everything okay because if I toggle this back can you see it Grays out kind of go and adjust anything now okay so it's this option here remember backslash just kind of toggles it on and off but it means that that's disabled it's not really reset it's just kind of previewing it what it used to look like so with that back on actually I'll make a note of that because you will get to some point you'll be Googling why are all my sliders grayed out it's probably because of this button or your backslash same thing okay the trick you want to get back all this missing you've done you can go to uh photo and there's this one called reset edits now you can see here I use the shortcut you might be head popping with shortcuts but command r or control r on a PC these will all be on your shortcut sheet so print that up Circle it I use that one loads and what it's done is it's gone back to the original and kind of reset all of these sliders every single thing about it now if that's a bit too much so I'm going to go edit undo so back to where it was and let's say I want to reset partial parts of it you just like the color or the exposure or just some part of it you hold down the option key on a Mac ALT key on a PC and can you see it says let's reset all the light but not the color I'm going to undo that so let's reset the color but leave the light okay so if you hold down the option key on a Mac ALT key on a PC and any of these become resets crazy old shortcuts I know maybe you just want to reset everything completely use the long way because you like shortcuts suck I'm gonna go this way and go reset all edits and just start again that's totally fine after a while though you'll be like actually I kind of got it close I just want to reset part of it okay because you've gone through effects which we're going to get to in this course text your way up okay or dehaze too far hold down the option key on a Mac ALT key on a PC and just click the word reset that particular group of settings but if you're like oh I want more control Dan you probably don't at this stage but I'm wrapping it up into a video so you can come back to it later on okay uh you can let's say you want the slider back to a certain point you can just either double click the and this little slider and it goes back to where it started life has you see just double click them or if you hover above it can you just click reset just not holding anything down it's the shortcut for people who don't like shortcuts just hover your mouse above the word and you can click on it and it resets it back or just double click these sliders both work now one thing that I come across every now and again is let's say I do make some Auto settings and I want to hit reset and I'm in this like other panels okay comments we haven't covered these yet I know but I want to throw it in here to Mush it into this resetting video if I'm on this and I head to my shortcut command r you can probably hear I'm smashing away the key it doesn't work okay you have to be on edit okay that little edit panel then it works that might catch you out at some stage the other weird thing about Lightroom is it's undo's so let's say that I go through and add a color I make it all this color okay and then I go over here and I come back to this okay and I go to edit Undo It remembers that I clicked on these selections as an undo it's kind of weird okay so if I go to edit undo the last thing I did really was change the color of that but it's quite literal it goes I'm going to undo to where you were selected over here it's sometimes useful most of the time not for me in particular so I'm going to go edit undo again so the selection's gone back to here and then go edit undo temperature change okay so just know that sometimes if you hit undo it might not undo it depends on when you've clicked does that kind of make sense every if I click on this for you know if I do this for 10 minutes I'm going to have to go and click edit undo 10 minutes worth of undos just so you know the other thing is non-destructiveness because if you're like great I've made this change and I close Lightroom what happens when I open it okay two things have happened when I go over here and I add an image okay let's add a new one I'm just going to add this one here idea04 you can just watch me on this one can you see over here once I edit you can see it's uploading to the cloud well you can't it's syncing syncing one item okay so as part of your um you know subscription to Lightroom you get a bunch of cloud storage and it's sending it up there now okay and the cool thing about it is that if I go through now and I make uh some mad edits just dragging things around okay so I make my edits something more obvious so I make these edits the original is always preserved it's non-destructive okay every time I open this up in Lightroom it's going to say would you like to reset them there we go here's my shortcut command r on a Mac Ctrl r on a PC so never worry about you know in Photoshop if you open up a say a file and you save over the top of it it's kind of you know changed forever so often you'll make a you know make another copy you never have to do that in Lightroom jpeg images raw images are all protected okay up in the cloud ready to go your original on your machine okay and the exercise files that's not needed anymore you can use it as backup totally great way of backing it up just keep it on a hard drive somewhere back it up to Dropbox if you want to but Lightroom is doing that for you it's uploaded it to your cloud storage just like Dropbox okay and the cool thing about it is all these settings are applied on top of your image and you can always go back to them okay and reset them and start again all right that's all I have to say about going backwards undoing resetting all in one little video all right that's it to the next video hi everyone in this video we're going to work through this image and transform it into this okay and we're going to work through this light part of the panel okay sometimes it gets called tone and we have worked through all of these options right at the beginning but we just kind of flew through them the goal of this video is actually explain what they do without too much like minutia is that the word minutia whatever it is just give you the broads so you know what you're doing when you are dragging them all right let's jump in all right let's bring in some images now we've been using this way okay add photos there is a shortcut I don't use it very much loads of people do though under file you can go add photos and you can see there the hieroglyphics let's shift command I on a Mac or shift control I on a PC okay and you're like well I don't use that shortcut you seem to love the shortcuts uh I do the dragon option it's the way I use the most okay so in Grid mode okay I just go to these uh go to the exercise files find the images that I want in this case I want you to bring in one to four because we already have five okay and just drag them into grid mode that's what I like doing okay and adding the photos up to you use the shortcut use the Long Way clicking the button the one thing with that dragging in version okay it won't work if you're in details mode remember grid mode okay one of these two these are both grid mode you can either go grid squares or grid where it tries to squeeze them in as nicely as it can okay in details mode is this option at the end here okay let's say we double click to go inside this one I can't add images while I'm in details mode if I grab all of these and try and drag them in it goes oh okay so you have to be in G for grid mode then you can go and add them and it will add fine that's the way I do it but that's not what we came here for we came here to look at the light settings so let's work on this one here okay all of these images here that are from the deer series okay this is my local Little Village it's really pretty um thatched houses that's businesses cool roofs and that's the local school just some cool old buildings Ireland is awesome okay so with this open I'm going to close this down because that's a bit messy and we're gonna e for editing okay or just click this little button here I'm going to work through these we kind of covered them quickly at the beginning but with no real example okay or explanation of why you were doing them and you came here to be Pros let's be Pros together so the exposure is it's a really broad uh slider okay everything lighter or darker the opposite of that lighter or darker okay some times or very often an image will come out and the exposure will be actually pretty good depending on your camera depending on the lighting conditions so sometimes you don't move exposure very much but it's very big broad changes okay so you've got to decide where you want to go with exposure very broad contrast okay adds a little bit of Magic the way it does it is it makes the whites whiter and the blacks blacker if I crank out this up can you see it just made the sky really white okay and everything else very dark it's really cool okay I'm gonna leave that off for the moment because you can do a lot of that in these last four okay so where it gets confusing is highlights versus weights these seem very similarly named okay and shadows versus blacks what they are is I've got a little image here it's a new exercise files you don't have to open it but I'm using this as an example so um gray scale there it is okay so when I adjust these ones here are easy the easiest to understand when I adjust the whites what I'm doing is I'm grabbing the whites either this pure white or anything kind of really close to it okay and making them lighter or darker same with the blacks if I adjust this slider I'm adjusting this pure or black plus probably this tile here that's what I'm doing as opposed to Highlights which is this larger chunk towards the pure white but not quite there okay you can make some really big adjustments with the highlights and shadows because Shadows isn't black isn't quite black here but it's most of this last chunk of all the dark colors and even though this is gray think of it more of as tone if I had a really red image the really dark Reds are going to be affected by blacks okay and the Really pinky Reds okay or the pinky whites okay are going to be affected by whites think of it not so much as the color gray but as a tone dark versus light so does that help maybe not let's just drag them so highlights remember not quite whites but drag it back fourth just get a c oh look at the information in the sky look at that uh awesome so I'm going to drag that down a little bit uh what a lot again when you were dragging these don't be thinking like oh I don't want to drag it too far that seems too far off uh like lightroom's quite protective it's not going to you know being out here isn't like maximum superpower completely wrecking it you can end up quite far out here and not be destroying your image let's say okay don't worry about where the slider is just look at your image be dragging the slider back and forth and decide where you want it to be the other photographer you get to decide or the editor depending on how you're approaching Lightroom okay Shadows the same back and forth I always start with a big drag everyone kind of like starts and my classes they go like this they go is this good is this good get in there give it a shake see what it does oh yep nope ah look at that a little stuff in here that's pretty nice the tree all right here we go about here often you can do most of the work and highlights and shadows and then smaller parts and whites and blacks it depends on the image though okay that's why they're in this order broad broad less broad okay oh look at that stuff in the sky there we go blacks oh nice okay I'm dragging the pure blacks to make even the ones that were close to being black more black okay these guys here I'm going to try and push them along towards the pure black because the I like the contrast in these um windows in real life they they are just kind of dirty and not quite you know they're quite old and mottled but I want this like really cool contrast between them remember backslash on your keyboard on off on off the Long Way remember is down there I'm not going to mention that anymore I'm just going to say backslash okay you can go down that button if you prefer oh I like it so start at the top broad Strokes crank out the contrast because I do like it but really contrast is adjusting these options in here kind of all in one go all right so that is the Light Panel where you do most of your work explained a little bit more so you know what you're doing remember just a quick reminder how to reset them you can I always double click them you'll see me in the course doing that it's because that's really common on other Adobe programs it's much easier just to click the you know click the word because it says reset but you'll see me in this course doing it the painful way by double clicking them because it's really common in other Adobe programs all right so that's it we've got a couple of other photographs that I took you can play around with these just to practice the settings along here resetting them having a play with some images that maybe aren't your own it's always fun you don't need to submit these particular ones just have a play around with them and in the next video we'll set a proper class project all right on to that project hi everyone it's not homework time okay it's class project light correction so we're going to use the skills we've learned so far what I want you to do is stick to this panel here okay light okay the things that we've worked through in the previous video okay and I want you to either use your own image that's the ideal okay if you've got your own images you can work on or if you can use some of the free sites I mentioned them in the earlier um class project here they are listed here I won't reiterate them for this next project but that's where they are and what you're looking for is an image that needs a a little bit of work okay something that doesn't have strong lights or darks here that you can actually do some work for okay that's why something like unsplash which I've done in other courses is brilliant but the photographer has already done the correction work here often it has a color grade as well so not as fun to work on or at least we don't get to practice our light correction skills okay so check out signature edits or photo traces they are listed here in your the original project okay and just have a look for something that needs a bit of work like this one here okay the balance of Sky versus the kind of foreground you know the foreground is really uh or the mid ground at least and is you know too dark okay this one here there's no strong whites so look for things that need a bit of work this one here as well there's no real strong whites and darks it's kind of like Stuck in the Middle okay that's why these images are so handy when you are learning okay so have a look through the sites and see what you can do uh yeah so pick your own image or something from a free website use those light settings and then export before and after images okay we'll cover saving in a more detailed later in the course but for now it's pretty easy um so what you want is a before and after let's find this guy here okay remember backslash before after obviously not this particular image but Justin is as an example and what I want you to do is just do this do uh use the export option or the save option up in the top here there's a icon and just use jpeg small okay and where are you going to put it I've just created a Lightroom um class projects folder okay or just dump it onto your desktop depending on how you roll okay and uh put it in a folder go on just this once and put it in there so that's the after how do you get the before who remembers how to reset it oh you remember Commander okay on a Mac Ctrl r on a PC or you can go the Long Way photo reset edits then do another save okay same folder and just remember to go to edit undo so you can go back to all your Suite edits okay so and let's have a look we've got our two options up here I want to upload them okay to the assignment section of this website okay here we are um depending they've got different names on different sites okay but also share on social media love to see your before and after just mention hey my first edit class project two like correction credit the photographer if you can if it's yourself use yourself some of these sites here are a little bit tricky they don't have a really good way of tracking the um photographer you know specifically but they do ask at the top here have a little read of the different licenses they just say hey you don't have to but uh link to their website helps them do their thing all right that is it go over practice find some images that need some work do some light correction and share it all right you go do that I'm gonna go start making the next video hi everyone this video is some definitions of terms okay we're going to be doing some color correction in this next section and then later in the course we're going to be doing color grading what is the difference I cut a correction is just fixing colors and color grading often is stylizing it so this is an image from yesterday a couple of days ago at a car show so this car here I've done some color Corrections okay so that was like it was as shot and this is how I wanted or at least how I felt like it shot in real life the colors of the car I've messed with the greens down the bottom there okay can you see the before after before after I lifted some of these oranges okay they were in the roof they were just kind of like washed out in the photograph kind of fold them up okay so that's color correction so we're going to do a bunch of that in this section and then later on I'll show you this is where I ended up with the color grading so this is kind of my final piece that I used and sent out this is uh like a style that I've added color grading you got it color correction fixing color grading styling it there we go got that done on to the next video or if you want to mess around with that there's two in your uh O3 Corrections okay there's two raw files is this one compositionally not particularly great especially because you can see my ball hidden this one but beautiful car if you did want to play around with them not essential all right that's it color correction color grading done hi everyone in this video we're going to take this image and Bam okay we're going to look at the color Auto feature and if you're looking at the length of this video and you're like is he just going to click the auto that's basically what I'm going to do but I'm also going to explain what it does we're also going to look at the differences sometimes between jpegs and raw files temperature versus Kelvin we'll look at the drop downs in these some images have lots of presets some of them don't some useful information for those people new to white balance all right let's jump in all right before we go any further a little side note I went to another car show on the weekend that's why my Lightroom is going to be full of cars and you'll be like and you didn't have cars in it in the last video um so yeah they'll be here I might throw them into the later in the course there might be too many cars in this video already but um the cool thing about oh the weekend was well it sucked because it was raining but raindrops are really cool to edit okay uh plain car oh if any of those people would get out of the way anyway uh so what we're going to do in this video is we're going to bring it in we're going to ignore the cars and bring in two images so P bring up photos let's add those photos and we've got a new folder in your exercise files called o4 color Corrections let's open that up and bring in these two images color01 and color O2 and let's bring them both in we're going to work on color 01 and yes I've already thrown one of the images in whoops but it's a good example here so let's open up this one D to make it nice and big now the auto feature is pretty easy to use so it's under color sorry it's under edit and then I like to remember to twirl these down okay so I can just see color on its own and then as shot is just as you shot it with your camera okay the white balance you set there okay and you have an option that says Auto okay so click on auto and then let's turn the eyeball on and off and the computer has decided that it needs to be a tiny bit warmer a little bit just plus one and it's been -15 for the tint okay so let's just go and push it a little bit to the green so do I like it on off on off I find all of the awesome stuff that Lightroom does in terms of the automatic stuff I love color and the white balance is one of those things where I don't know if it's me being like a squishy brain human and going hey computer what do you know okay I always go I always click Auto just to see what it thinks why is it judging my uh in-camera white balance settings which is more often set to Auto anyway okay um but I do it I check what it is and I'm like hmm it kind of informs my decision before I start dragging it I go okay I'm going to make a little bit warmer and I'm going to make a little bit the further this way too far okay and you can see it's changed to custom so often start with Auto and it just gives me a kind of uh you know an indication of where I'm going to go or where I might should go and it might should go no there you go you understand what I mean okay good starting point now the other thing I want to mention in here is that we've got temperature in this one here like default you know the auto setting said all right UB uh plus three let's open that other image I'm going to use my arrow key and go back one okay just to toggle to the other image or remember hit G and just double click the one you want to open so the difference between a JPEG okay which is this image here using my arrow keys the right arrow left right okay so the difference between jpegs and raw files often is you'll get just different options over here can you see this one is shot in what's called Kelvin okay so it's giving me my Kelvin settings it's more sciency Kelvin is like the unit of measurement for temperature and the camera or at least the raw file has the Kelvin information so gives it to you here and if you do know a little bit about light and you know what like daylight Calvin is and that's right in the middle there it doesn't really matter it doesn't change it but it's going to be it might be confusing if you open up some images and like this one here you're given just numbers because it doesn't know what the Kelvin was so it just goes plus three of whatever it was whereas this one here because it's a raw file is actually recording a lot more of the temperature information including what Calvin it was set to as shot I can always I can go over it just like the other one but there you go that's why you'll have two all right let's see what Auto does here okay before after warms it up okay moves the Kelvin up and it hasn't adjusted the tint there you go left it alone one thing you will do as well is that you won't often start with color and go to auto can you do tone first so I'm gonna go back to that other image using my right arrow key and what I'll do doesn't matter which order you do it in but you'll probably find that it's better to go let's say I want to do Auto for auto does does light and it does a tiny bit of color but not temperature intent which is if I click it did something for Vibrance okay I don't know why it does everything in light so let's undo that you see if I hit Auto we've looked at this earlier right with auto it goes and adjusts our light sliders it does a little bit to Vibrance which is cool it doesn't touch tint and temperature you do that separately so what you can do is I'm going to reset it all who remembers how to reset everything go right back to the beginning so right command r on a Mac Ctrl R and a PC just reset everything and what you can do is you can just open up an image Go Auto Auto and that might be enough you can see here before after pretty good result one other thing I want to show you is here on this jpeg image okay remember temperature is just done in the numbers here the other thing is the drop down menu here is a little a lot shorter you've got air shot and auto okay and custom is just when you start dragging on your own but let's have a look back at this car here okay and let's have a look at the drop down remember this is a raw image and you can see here there's a lot more options in here it's just because there is Kelvin information it's going to give you options to say hey let's make this a cloudy shot okay can you see here it's basically balancing out a cloudy shot and kind of raising the Kelvin up so I'm going to hover above them the editor will zoom in so you can see that Kelvin number changing okay you can see it drops all the way down okay to kind of counteract what would be done in tungsten tungsten uh lights really kind of orangey lights so to counteract that they'll make it Bluer that's why this image is blue so that's what it's doing if you've shot cloudy it's going to raise the Kelvin to make it warmer to counteract the cloudiness in the daylight here as well like these are just yeah just work your way through them a little helpful use or a little shortcut for them is let's say that you're looking at this you like does it look any different I don't know because it's hard to go back to airshot cloudy airshot cloudy okay you can actually hold down the uh option key okay let's get one that's more obvious like yeah tungsten okay so hold down the option key and it toggles back can you see It'll zoom in again thanks Jason uh to the auto um versus let's see what you can see there and let's go back to as shot so that's the before and then tungsten for hover above it and hit the option key just toggles it back and forth man I made a meal of that what do you reckon okay so have a look through these and if you want to see what what it looked like before just hold the option key on a Mac Oh key on a PC and it just toggles between the two that's handy you can kind of see what it's doing over here in terms of the tint and temperature as well which is fun all right that is it automatic features some of the drop downs why jpegs are different than raw files and auto can be awesome especially as a starting point before you get all fussy and just drag it one or two more points along take that computer all right that is it I will see in the next video hi everyone in this video we're going to look at removing some of these strong color casts this one's quite blue okay that's how I remove it but we're going to use this eyedropper tool here okay the white balance selector tool we'll do it for a few images so that's after before quite a warm image some Magenta in there removed okay and same with this one here quite a green tinge to it we're going to use the white balance selector tool this eyedropper tool here I'll also briefly introduce one of these color Checker cards the 18 gray to help correct the white balance and get consistency across different photo shoots all right let's jump in all right to get started let's bring in some images it's an o4 color correction and we're going to bring in these last uh 030405 and now you can use the method that we used in the last video I'm just going to mix it up here and show you the way I do it remember I'm on grid view so G and then I'm just going to drag all of these guys in so I'm going to add all three and we're going to start with this one here okay so the woman on the log and double click it or hit D then click e okay or click this option up here and what we're looking for is under color there is this eyedropper tool okay so what we can say you can see there it's called the white balance selector okay what we can say is actually I as the human know what is white in this image or at least what is neutral doesn't have to be white it has to be uh the absence of color because what it can do is if you tell it what is has no color okay it can go oh well if there is color in there I'll remove it so if I say this boat I know is white because I'm a clever human okay and you can see it's kind of like uh you can I can't really point to it but the big um zoomed up bit okay if I zoom it up you can see that there's some strange colors going on in there so if you click it it's going to try and remove them and make this thing neutral colored unless and in this case make it white there we go there there you go uh I on off on off now it can be useful so let's try this I'm going to undo it so reset it so command r or control R and I'm going to do it to the shirt you like the shirts white let's click on this you see you get a very big you know a different result you can see it's bumped up the temperature quite a bit and the other thing to note just out of hand like that's where it started okay if I undo it you see it gives you a nice little just visual reference I'm going to do it again click there you can see how far it's jumped up from as shot to where it is now because otherwise yeah yeah it's just a little handy little measurement there and it's done the tint just a tiny little change in the tint minus 10 okay before after so you can use the eyedropper tool and it works sometimes great and sometimes not so great okay depending on where you're clicking if I click down on the shoe here so I'm going to reset it W is the white balance selector too many shortcuts but just click on that okay and go you there we go nice now choosing something that happens to be white in the image afterwards is useful uh you can kind of force that to happen a little bit more scientifically I was having to dig around there pause the video and I was trying to find something and I found this uh my gray card so let's bring in that it's in your notes now it's just called graycard and I couldn't find a good image of it this is all I could find okay and go into detail view you can see there often when you are like you know when you've got a proper photo shoot it's in studio you've got some time to set up okay you can hold up one of these gray cards to do a test shot so that you can kind of like you know get your settings right so you can say actually here you need to do it in the camera that would be optimal okay with your camera set your white balance based on this card here often people will use that kind of 18 gray there or white actually that's the 18 gray there that's just a really white is tricky because it's kind of like uh can be quite a blown out color so often they'll use this gray it's still neutral still has no color in it but it's a good way of kind of a nice big easy thing to go there you go you can see here in this particular shot okay it's lower the temperature a little bit and the tint a little bit okay but it's a lot more scientific is the word probably not the word but at least you can get consistency across different shoots maybe different rooms different venues different lighting conditions okay so before after not the greatest shot I know actually let me Google something right there there you go so you can buy these cards here okay and you buy them hold them up and it's just easy to get the white balance better to do it with the camera first but you can do it afterwards in Lightroom as well using the eyedropper tool all right one last thing I'd like to mention is that when I'm working I'm kind of like uh what should I you know how do I get started often it's light then color unless the temperatures off so the temperature if it looks off if I'm like there's something just obviously wrong with it I'll go and do the white balance first okay which is the temperature and the tint then close it down and come back through my light and exposure so I'll do a speedy version of my light settings here all right you're back that's where I've ended up uh so yeah white balance first if it's off then start working through this if a white balance isn't off I'll just start straight at the top here and exposure when I'm doing just kind of regulated now for you what I'm going to do is going to hit G and you've got two other options here okay that have got quite strong color casts okay this one's quite uh rare magenta this one's quite green what I want you to do is practice with both of these okay and I want you to have a work through the white balance tool okay the eyedropper pick a spot nice white dresses to use but then use it as a starting point and maybe make some adjustments on top of that don't be afraid you can also see there's lots of different kind of colors going on in here so have a play around with different parts of the white dress and the same with arrow left left this one here as well pick a white from the dress and see how you get on with the white balance also for practice have a play around with the light as well alright that is it for this video I'll see in the next one it's class project time uh this one is color correction so I want you to find an image that has a really strong Color cast okay either something of your own or something from some of the free sites I showed you earlier or try unsplash okay it doesn't have to be a raw image for this but you're looking for something that has a strong Color cast you know it's too Orange it's two blue it's two magenta it's two green something is needs adjusting so it's going to look good in a before and after very important and what I want you to do is do all of the ways I've showed you so far just to see what works for your particular image whether some of the auto features you get you where you need to go or whether you always end up at custom okay so try the auto the drop down presets the eyedropper tool which we just did and try Custom just like reset it every time just to give an idea and a bit of practice to those different options now if you're unsure the one that might be unsure is the drop down so let's have a look at this one D e okay and the drop down is in here can you see if it's a raw shot you'll have these okay if it's a JPEG you won't and you can skip that one once you've done it can you uh export like we did in the last one just export before and after images okay we did that before I'll show you one last time okay uh this option at the top here export a small jpeg then do your reset which you know the shortcut now you know it yeah it's command r or control R and then export another one so you'll have two before and after make sure you undo it so you don't get rid of your good work and then share both of those and some of you will have the ability to share like smush these together in something like Photoshop so you can see the before and after like in one image go ahead and do that that'll be the most awesome you can do it in lots of other programs as well but it's not an expectation if you can't do it just here both images just separately you know share the before and the after so that we can see what happened share it on social media as well okay uh all the options are down here if you are still feeling a little bit nervous about sharing to the group have a look you'll see other people's work there you'll see that nobody's attacking them for their lack of being new to Lightroom or potentially Photography in general if that's you get it out there get Sharon love to see what you do all right that is it for the class project try all the different settings see which way leave a note in the comments as well just like hey I tried this and this one worked the best you can do it for more than one image then upload it to the assignments and social media as well love to see it alright next video hi everyone let's look at copy and pasting settings we've done it before but we're going to add a little bit of extra Pizzazz to it Pizzazz we're going to add some extra complexity uh because there are times where you want to copy some of the settings to all of the images that you've got in a photo shoot but sometimes you just want a little bit of that so let me show you so the reminder let's do the reminder first because uh something like a wedding where there's lots of images I've done a basic edit to this one okay both light and color okay and what we can do with it open or selected down here in the film strip we can go copy so I'm going to use a shortcut command C on a Mac Ctrl C on a PC and you can click on one or lots of images and just go paste which is really cool because it brings those settings through but there'll be times where you actually just want part of what you've done and maybe it's just the you know the white balance needs to be fixed and you're going to work on the light okay the tone in here exposure contrast all separately for the images so let's undo that go back to my original okay and what I can do either down here in the film strip or in gallery view is instead of just using that shortcut for copy I can right click it and I can say choose edit settings to copy like I will pick I will decide that I don't want anything except for the color settings and in color I only want the white balance that I did okay a so you've got a huge big photo shoot you only want some parts it might just be the light okay it might just be the exposure it might be just one part of this I want to show you that you can go just you then click on this one click on the thousands of images in your photo shoot I've only got a couple to keep the file size down I'm going to select U and U holding command on my Mac control key on a PC to select those two separately and I'm going to go paste and you notice very slightly it just pasted the white balance I'm going to go into this one now double click it and before after it didn't bring through the tone just the color that can be really handy sometimes we'll use that a couple more times throughout the course but yeah I want to introduce it here while we're working on color and to remind you basically that when you are doing color adjustments you just copy and paste them across loads of images all right that's all I had to say over and out see in the next video hi everyone in this video we are going to look at Vibrance versus saturation they both do a similar job in that they both lift colors up okay but they do it in different ways and let's see which of them is better settled in all right it's a new day maybe not for you but for me it is you can tell caffeine up ready to go I'm going to show you a different way to import images well we've discussed it but I wanted to start using mixing it up a little bit so you can get a feel for which when you enjoy the most I'm going to use the shortcut okay we're going to hit command shift I on a Mac to import our image on a PC it's Ctrl shift I so tap that it might be the one for you let's bring in 13 14 and 15. Okay so we've got these three bring them in the one I want to start with is this DJ set here so have that selected hit D hit G no not g sorry D to bring it up and then e for editing settings and close down light if it's open we're just going to work on color and Vibrance versus saturation so to explain it actually just show us let's um keep an eye on this orange wrapper thing here if I go saturation up can you see it just goes a bit mad and gets over saturated so reset drag it up okay just gets all blown out and gross okay so let's look at that compared to Vibrance okay so Vibrance all the way up oh can you see this that was already saturated got mostly left alone and everything that was kind of a little bit saturated I got raised up to join his bright orange friend so it looks after the ones that are already saturated and brings up those lower ones to meet it okay you very really would go full Vibrance I guess it's just an example but you get the idea right I'm going to reset it let's look at saturation all the way up so I'm going to use my backslash key before after before after you can see it works saturation is great it's bringing up all this but it's also wrecking this so I'm going to reset it okay and Vibrance all the way up on off on off you'll notice that this stays fine but all of these come up as well so that's the secret recipe just don't use saturation use Vibrance okay I never use saturation there you go I said it sorry saturation but Vibrance does a better job in almost all cases what it's also really good at is protecting skin tones so again saturation all the way up see his skin went orange okay because it's kind of just went right everybody forwards everyone get brighter or more saturated I don't care what you are okay and skin it just gets dragged up and you end up with like pink skin and orange skin and sunburnt skin so let's reset it again and Vibrance Watch What Happens or does it like it fills out a little bit the skin just gets a little bit Fuller but there's some amazing goodness going on inside of that Vibrance technology that protects skin tones okay and doesn't drag them up dragged up this kind of like stained glass stuff here at the back whatever that is but protects the skin tone so you'll never drag it all the way up you know you know my rule just to pass on my rules to you is I drag this up okay so I'm going to start at the beginning I'll drag this up looking at it and I'm going too far you know I find where I want this to be okay and then I'll drag it back a little bit okay because I know through experience that wherever I get it you know I'm like okay perfect I'll go away come back and go whoa way too much Vibrance okay so what I do is you know kind of I don't know cut to the Chase and go yeah perfect back a little bit okay so even now that's probably a bit too much here we go so yeah don't overcook the vibrant or at least overcook it until you work out your own kind of calibration of how much Vibrance is good for you okay I've got this example in here mainly to show you that sometimes it doesn't matter like saturation all the way up is actually quite nice in this image okay and it's not much difference from Vibrance there is differences okay but there are times where actually Vibrance and saturation do a very similar job it's when you've got clearer um skin tones hers has quite got an orange cast on there as well but that's from lights behind her okay but sometimes it does do a very similar job let's look at this one here okay so I'm on this one these first two are just jpegs okay and the second one here is a raw image and I'm going to show you a couple of things that might happen to you so I'm going to hit Auto did you notice virus just went up okay first of all auto we've learned in an earlier class does these things okay does the exposure contrast highlights so I'm going to undo so that's what it does but it also does a tiny any bit in color and often it's Vibrance why because raw images have a tendency as they are shot to be a little washed out not washed out in terms of color it tends to be muted because they're trying to like capture all sorts of color data that you can adjust later on they end up looking a little bit flat so Lightroom goes hey that's always the case as part of Auto let's bump up Vibrance okay so you might notice that sometimes Vibrance is already bumped up and you're like why is that it's because you've used the auto setting and so my auto got me close let me go through this I'll just zoom and I just want to fix the image a little bit more okay fixed it I'm doing ear quotes Okay uh so I've got it how I want now with Vibrance watch this if I well a good example is saturation watch your skin here so let's zoom in on it who remembers the zoom tool okay hold down the command key on a Mac control key in a PC and drag a box around where you want to go so saturation is going to push your skin way too far okay and make it kind of red and magenta but if I do Vibrance can you see it's still doing stuff like it's still affecting the skin but it's protecting a lot more and you'd never jump it all the way up okay because that's just too far okay and let's have a look Zoom all the way out so just click it once okay and let's have a look at Vibrance look it's doing everything else it's kind of awesome too far okay but there's so many cool colors going on in this and if it does start affecting the skin all the way say you want it like this is affecting the skin later in the course we'll do a mask to protect her specifically but for the moment let's just drag it up so it's not affecting her skin but it's doing some nice stuff to the background so before after oh look at all that good color information that was hidden there hidden through the sky all right that's about all I've got sheer saturation you can drag it down allow you to drag it down I said don't use it you can drag it down that's fine it gives you a black and white but it's not really a good black and white there are some amazing ways to make black and white images which we'll do in the color grading part of this course so save yourself for that don't use saturation for that but you can sometimes just knock down saturation if you want everything to come down a little bit it's fine it's probably still better just to knock down Vibrance all right that is it Vibrance versus saturation use Vibrance use it sparingly and I'll see you in the next video hi everyone in this video we're going to look at this the color mixer it allows you to pick specific colors okay and change the Hue saturation and luminance look at our little parrot here I'm going to change the blues and look at that very cool all right so it allows us to pick specific colors and make adjustments this is fun but we'll also do more of a real world example where we're not changing the colors so much as exaggerating individual ones rather than dragging them all up in the Vibrance like we did earlier on we're going to pick specific colors and make adjustments that's what it does let me show you how it works all right let's bring in some images uh command shift I on a Mac Ctrl shift I on a PC and can you bring in color 16 to 19. bring in those four import them and let's open up the parrot so double click them okay E3 editing settings and what we're going to do is look to change the color of this handsome girl guy space okay so what we can do down here is we can say actually I want to change the blues okay and I want to change the Hue of it what's this drag very cool okay so give that a go uh grab the blue drag around pick a new color uh do the same for another color let's go for the greens let's change the Hue oh very cool okay so this is a little different from say like Photoshop where you're completely changing the colors you're just kind of Shifting them okay it's not giving you like the full color spectrum it's just kind of like okay it was a little bit green I want it to be a little bit more yellow okay and yeah let's grab the oranges you get the idea okay so often we're not changing colors that's kind of cool but that's still mostly a job for Photoshop it does it better what's really good about Lightroom okay is working on because that's I don't know you might be I'm trying to change the color of parrots all the time most of the time though we're doing things like um let's grab this we're not changing the color a huge amount we're often just raising it up so that's why this Hue saturation and luminance down here so what we're going to do is we're going to pick kind of the tealy color okay and we we can adjust the Hue okay depending on what I like the teal okay you can change it if you like okay but what we want to do is grab the saturation just drag all the way up to see what it does look at that tropical amazingness okay eyeball on eyeball off so often that's what you're using Color mixer for grabbing a color and exaggerating it accentuating it okay so that's the saturation okay we've yanked it up a bit luminance is how dark and light that color is so you can make it a darker teal or a lighter one depending on what you want to do okay so just real subtle adjustments what I often like to do is because sometimes you like is it teal is it blue okay what color is that is that sand okay is it yellow is it orange okay so if you click on yellow just give it a drag and just uh see what is it changing it's yeah it's grabbing a lot of the sand so you might have nailed it let's go to the orange give that a drag back and forth there's a bit of orange in there as well so we're going to have to do both so let's grab the yellow start with and I'm going to increase the saturation a bit luminance back and forth I think I like it a bit darker okay and grab the orange as well because there's a bit of booth in there I'm not going to adjust the Hue things like grasses often all green up and skies maybe make a little bit more blue but often it's the saturation and the um luminance that we're working on so back and forth don't be afraid to be scared of the saturation I know we've done I said don't use saturation up here yeah that rule doesn't apply down here there is no Vibrance why isn't there it's because we're dealing with just one single color whereas up here we're dealing with all the colors okay whereas down here being a little bit more specific so we can use saturation down here great way of breaking your own rules then okay before after there's Blues in the boat Lids as well boat lids Dan the sea captain welcome to my boat lid um all right so I'm dragging that up it's affecting here as well okay so I'm gonna have to kind of keep that in mind luminance brightness oh look at there preview on preview off pretty gone pretty off nice okay and you can just click on this and you know if I grab this magenta here it's not going to do anything there's no Magenta in there sometimes you're surprised you're like oh look at that there's a Magenta in there somewhere but there doesn't seem to be any in this photograph which yeah I will on I will off to have a play with both of these have fun changing the color of the parrot and then see if you can accentuate the water and the um sand in here greens I won't touch as well can you see there's Greens in here and there's nothing wrong with dragging the saturation down as well like my like if we don't want our Focus to be up here we might decide to pull some of the saturation out of that green so that that kind of focuses on the boats in the water okay or we might drag it probably not all the way up this trigger all the way up so we can see what it's doing and then we can adjust the Hue can you see I can make it more yellow or kind of more you know and minty green so let's have a look I'm going to leave it where it was and saturation up a little bit before before after next now we're focused on the color mixer you should be working on the light as well so let's do that afterwards let's have a look at this oh I think I'll lower the exposure a little bit overall and then bring Parts back in with contrast up a little bit with the highlights and the whites I kind of made everything dark using the exposure down and then kind of counteracted that with the lights and dark so moving on pretty off oh I'm liking it shadows and highlights yeah maybe kind of remove the focus of this kind of cloud side or sorry Shadow side of the here we go I believe that where it was all right um backslash before after before after probably a little bit too far especially kind of in here it's getting a little purpley but it's good all right so that's their color mixer in Lightroom we'll do more color mixer in the next video as well I'll go a little bit more tiny bit more advanced I'll see you there hi everyone in this video we're going to look at the color mix but we're going to take it a little bit further we're going to look at this like little Target guy allows us to click on the artwork and make adjustments actually on the artwork to these sliders by dragging rather than trying to guess which color we're adjusting super awesome let me show you how it works okay let's work on this image that we brought in from the last video and what image is it click on the eyeball down here or the eye actually and this is color 18 okay just just a reminder that this little info panel is there let's go to edit and what we might do is do a quick light adjustment okay so you wait there I'm just going to speed this up actually let's click Auto let's see what we get okay so uh Good Start okay we'll leave it there okay what we want to do now is twill up light and let's look at color let's get down to the color mixer and we manually went through an R8 I need to change these okay and they're kind of a yellowy color and I can change the colors of them okay what you can do as soon this little guy here little Target it's called the target adjustment okay what it does is if you click it this little panel up here appears which is cool and so we can adjust the Hue saturation illuminance which is these three here which we did in the last video but we can say actually I want to adjust the Hue of the thing I'm going to click watch this if I hover above it can you see it's kind of a rusty Brown and uh yellowy coppery color okay so it's going hey I know what colors are in there and if I click hold and drag it I can adjust the colors of them can you see the slider over there on the right okay you can see it's doing the exact same thing as you would be doing okay over here adjusting be doing it on the actual artwork which is really handy so I'm going to reset it okay so Skye if I hover above it can you see it's going ah there's Blues in here click hold and I can make them more teal or more purple okay so it's up to you we're not often we don't use Hue we might do we might go okay it's quite a blue sky I want to teal it up or it's you know two teal and I want to make it a bit more blue okay but most of the time it's bumping saturation and luminance that's just my experience so we might say actually I won't grab the saturation grab the sky and yank it up whoa and then find some sort of happy medium so all we're doing is dragging that slider up like we did in the last video but we're doing it on the artwork so let's close it down and start again so hit the target that appears you choose what you want to do let's say it's luminance okay and what you do is you hover above the thing that you want to change the luminance of it goes through and says I'm not doing anything it just that appears okay and you click hold and drag it and you decide I want all of this to be brighter it's just too dark in the foreground here okay but I also want to go and change it to Hue because it is kind of too yellowy I want to go actually push a little bit more green not too very green okay somewhere in there now another good way of using this is sometimes I remember when I was learning this it's a little bit hard to do it on the artwork you know kind of drag these sliders okay grabbing the Hue of the sky and dragging it around it's a bit disconnected from over here so you might want to just use the target okay to do just to make the selection and then use these manual sliders here so let's click on this and say all right click it you see it jumped to Blue okay if I click on this and say click on this one here oh turn the Target on and then click on this can you see it jumped to my yellows here now I can make my adjustments and say actually I want saturation to be up and I want it to be like nuclear green okay so you might just use the target for that and you can turn it off I'm gonna undo that and also what is quite interesting is I'm going to turn the target back on can you see if I hover above something you see it says I'm going to if I click it it jump to Blue and I kind of know that because can you see there it's got like uh next to my cursor there the edit all zoom in I've got a big giant blue um circle and a teeny tiny something or other and from this distance maybe teal okay but it's saying that I'm going to adjust most of the Blues and a teeny bit of the teal down here it's going to say I'm going to adjust you know a lot of the oranges but also a bit of that yellowy copper color you know a lot more evenly there's two colors kind of going on in here and down here you might be like there you go I'm going to adjusting teal and a little bit of green and that's kind of weird because sometimes my brain goes hey that's you know if I'm gonna adjust these trees trees are green of course they are so I'm gonna go pick Green but actually if I let the computer decide it knows that actually if I zoom in remember command or control drag across with all the distance okay and the kind of uh I don't know what I want to say the haze in the you know the Far Far background okay they're getting quite white so this actually is this teal color all right so I'm going to go back to fit so that might be handy you might just go all right I'm going to turn this Target on just to go what are you and then work your way through the saturation Hue and luminance there you go that's what that thing is it's awesome allows you to adjust directly on the artwork okay you can click it and do it manually or you can make adjustments down here and decide luminance of this color click hold and drag oh look at their Discovery and what I want you to do is experiment with this one okay and have a play around with this other image I've gotten here okay so play around with the tone the color mixer and try and work on this targeting like work on it on the artwork and make sure Hue is fun okay so down here you can adjust the Hues of these things which is cool and but also looking at saturation and luminance just a bit of practice not a class project just just an extra one in there you can have a play with we'll do a class project in a little bit alright my friends that is it that is using the color mixer a little bit more advanced using this targeting feature it's awesome see in the next video hi everyone in this video I'm going to show you what a remix is a remix is a way that a photographer can share their both their original image and their edit original edit original edit and the cool thing about it is there's loads of images in here you can see befores and afters okay oh okay and the nice thing is when you go into them it actually shows you all the steps that they've done I can even hit play and look it'll take me through all the different steps that that photographer okay went through to get to their final result you can start to see and learn where some of those big changes happen Okay so I'm going to pause that there you can also see other people that have remixed that exact same image and start to see what they did and how they got to their different results all listed here gets better you can remix it okay you can go back to that original and make your own adjustments and upload it here's the one we do in this video where is he it's my cat okay here's my air shot and we're going to use the skills we've learned so far in this course to get to here all mesmerizing cats are awesome remixes are awesome let me show you how to do it in Lightroom alright remixes where are they uh they are over here in your photos so P to pop that out under discover there's one called remixes click on that so Wala remixes it allows you to edit other people's photographs up until now what we've been doing is grabbing stuff from like that signature edits site and a few other free image libraries or using your own but sometimes you don't have the chance to I don't know find a sunset okay or a building that's really cool okay so you can find other people's images to do it in edit and that's what a remix is the original photographer uploads it to this remix here here it is here you can so me as the photographer can upload an image okay and I can share it with other people say have a go have a crack do what you can do you can kind of tell when you hover above these ones they kind of toggle between the original as shot and the edits okay so hover above it before that's after before before after so you can start to see sometimes they're kind of side by side okay and sometimes you need to hover above them before after okay so yeah it's really amazing so up until now we've been using kind of other people's stuff through signature edits now we're going to start in this course using remixes now the thing is I'm going to show you the interface here and I betcha Adobe you're waiting just for me to release this this video to go and change it all up that's what they do okay especially with remixes they're changing this quite a bit because it's new and it's awesome so the interface might change a bit but the fundamentals will be the same so before we go and remix anything let's have a little look about what's cool about it I'm going to use this one here yours is not you know it's going to be different for everybody so just click on one not the remix button but the actual image itself because we're not going to remix it just yet we'll do that in a little bit just click on it and what I like to do is switch it to this view you're going to be defaulted to this view I like to go to this comparison view as shot and this is the original photographer's edit okay so that's the way they got it and that's where they ended up and the cool thing about it is you can play it and watch all their steps can you see and moving down there without me doing anything it's moving through all their edits so you as a newbie editor can start to see like where did all of the good stuff come from okay where is the bits that you might be able to look color mixing that's what we just did they did a lot of color mixing okay color grading sharpening there's gonna be things in this list that you don't know about yet because we're going to go through the class still and get to them you can pause it by clicking it okay you can get it started again by playing it and just have a look where is the big adjustments the tone curve here was a really big one okay we'll look at the tone curve later on um but like temperature just subtle changes can you see and then they get to the color mixes pause it just to see what they've done oh they went up 14 okay or they change the temperature to this or I didn't even know there was a color grading option which we're going to get to in the course so it's really nice to see other people's edits okay that's the original edit but look all the other people other photographers other editors who have done a remix on it there's loads okay and you can go through and say oh that one looks cool wonder how they did it play headshot cropped it profile tone curve point point give what did they do temperature let's do more of that okay and you can kind of get ideas about how other people got to a place super handy okay and you can copy them you can save it as a preset we'll cover presets a little bit later in the video as uh course as well okay but it's just really nice to see how other people got to where they're going and it's really nice to kind of see that as a shot okay the comparison all right I'm gonna do a remix here now and just to kind of take you through it and in the next video we'll do a class project where you have to do your own so the moment you just watch this so I'm gonna go to my remixes I want to find an image I want to remix and it has a really good search option up here up until now it's been tricky to find good raw images but now we've got remixes okay we can decide I only want to show remixables because that's what I want to do okay and let's say you want to pick annels or food or whatever you want really handy okay you can do more specific searches you might be I don't know it depends let's go and moles let's do cats here we go okay and what I'm going to do is pick one that I want to remix okay you're going to be seeing a lot of the edits that people have done let's have a look at something you wait there I'll pick one all right I found one and that took way longer than I thought because I want to do a demo of like some of the color mixer stuff so I'm going to remix this one okay so basically it opens up Lightroom with like like we headshot it but the original okay is uh Lila and Lindsay Robertson okay and this is the as shot so now I get to start my own edit so um I'm gonna do some of this light adjustments done that loads before so I'm just gonna kind of speed this one up okay and what you might have seen in the Speedy version there's a lot of me going like this all the way that's what I do a lot in my editing process I kind of don't do small adjustments I do big stuff and just see what it does and how much and how far and then I kind of just get jiggly jiggly down you know like as I get lower and lower and lower okay so um that's going to be my light adjustments backslash backslash okay and now I want to use my color mixer because that's why we practiced before so I'm going to use my little Target and I'm going to say actually this I'm going to work on Hue no saturation I want to make this brighter I'm just clicking and dragging it up before after before after can you see it's a bit tricky it's only subtle luminance as well do I want it to be brighter darker I think I want it to be darker and I want the saturation to be higher okay before after before after often I just do the eyeball on the color mixer because if I do the backslash it's going to do all my tone adjustments I keep saying tone it's light okay um the at the same time and I feel like it's too big a change I just want to see what I'm doing in the color mixer okay and I'm using the Target because the target's going to allow me just to grab specific things like I'm going to grab the eyes I'm like what color is that yellow turns out what is it yellow and a little bit of I don't know what that little dot is too small okay but I'm going to exaggerate it what are we doing with saturation I can adjust the hue luminance oh two fight in too far kind of cool I feel like it needs a vignette we haven't done vignettes but I think I've thrown this in a few times Xander effects vignettes are cool oh look how more Dynamic he looks uh so that's my remix okay obviously you can go through everything that you've learned so far and we're gonna go to next okay this is the um name of the image okay the original was done by this we can add any comments okay it's a good way to help Express what you were trying to do okay now post My remix and it can take a little while for your remix to actually get processed all right and that's the first remix on this particular one oh no my one hasn't appeared yet let's have a look there's one there's my my one coming along so it's just the original photographer's um remix so far as shot and my one will process and be there in a second all

and you end up with a screenshot on your desktop okay and then you go to this last one and do the same thing command shift four drag a box around the doll and just wait until it goes and you'll have two before and afters to submit on your desktop on a PC it's different you have to check what it is on your version of Windows just do a Google screenshot on PC and you can use that to post your before and after all right we'll leave that one here and I was going to show you how to send your own images up we'll do it in the next video because this one's already too long everyone needs a wee break and cup of tea you go do that I'll see in the next video hi everyone in this video I'm going to show you how to post your own work okay so that other people can remix it so you upload both the original as shot plus your edit and you can turn on an option to allow other people to remix it so I'm going to show you how to do that and I'm going to show you how you can remix my image here all right let's get going all right so I'm going to find a photograph that I took okay and and share it so I'm going to open up this one here this is like my before and after my edits okay and I want to share it so people can work with the asshot and also see what I did and then do their own remix okay so I'm going to share it up here and there's this option that says share to Discovery okay and and what I want to do is make sure I enable or is it enable remix I can't see it yeah allow me remixing so other people can have a play around with it okay and I'm Gonna Fill in the description you wait there all right some added some basic uh descriptions and categories let's Click Share all right so here's all of my recordings okay the stuff that I did when I was editing it again remember you can play it through the big crop there at the beginning don't worry we'll do cropping in a little bit okay but all my different settings have been recorded if you want to remix this one let me show you okay this will be the link here um I'll actually post it in the class projects um there'll be a links option right down the bottom and I'll post that in there if you want to have a go at editing it as well I'd love to see what you do just in case there it is there and there's a links option down the bottom of the document there it is it links that's a remix have a good at that I'll get notified when somebody does a remix and I'll be able to see yours alright that is it that is posting your own work for other people to remix in Adobe Lightroom hi everyone it is class project time this one is going to be color mixing so we've learned that over the last couple of videos and we're going to tie it in with a remix so color mixing just to remind you is in Lightroom and it is the settings under color and it's down in here where you adjust specific colors I don't mind how you do it because I can't check I don't know if you're going to use the Target or just click on these options at the top here but be messing around with Hue saturation luminance okay so that's the goal the other thing you need to do is use the light options as well so probably do the light first then do the color mixing and lighters this options in here okay exposure contrast highlight Shadows Etc so you're going to be using a remix okay so we learned that in the last video as well so remixes are under our little tab here under photos and under discover there's remixes so I've set the task of remixing an animal just to give us some boundaries so you're not spending I don't know two hours trying to find a great photograph okay so under the top here make sure it's uh show the remixable images and then have a look under animals pick your favorite or at least the one you think you're going to get the best value oh wow that's great um you know find one that you're going to work with Okay do your own edit okay so remix it and once you've done your remix okay I want you to share the link to your remix okay you get that at the end when you post it and also take the screenshot like I showed you in the last video okay so a before like as shot as well as your edit and share them okay make sure you credit the original photographer especially if you're sharing on social media use their name you can even link to them okay as to say if we do decide to use this one here by Ashley okay we can we can up here share their link there it is there okay so just to recap um find an image remix okay find an animal to remix and then do the light and the color mixing I want you to focus on color mixing at the moment you can sneak in a vignette there if you want it as well okay but just kind of focus on the tools we've learned so far share both the link and a before and after make sure you share it in the
