| How to Correct Tone and Contrast in Photos With Lightroom Classic Posted: 02 Dec 2020 07:02 AM PST If you've spent any time in Adobe Lightroom, you've probably seen just how many sliders it includes for adjustment. Each slider controls a different part of the look and feel of your image. Using them together to correct your images means that even an imperfect exposure can become a stunning photograph. In this tutorial, we're going to focus on two key factors of correcting an image: tone and contrast. You'll see that these are easy to correct with the help of multiple tools in Adobe Lightroom. You'll learn how they fit together and when to use each setting to your advantage. Tone and ContrastYou've probably heard the terms tone and contrast, but what do they actually mean? The visual world has a few technical terms that can be hard to put your finger on at first, but contain powerful ideas once you get the hang of them. The camera you use has limits on how much information it can capture. You might have heard the term dynamic range, which describes the amount of information your sensor can record, from the brightest to darkest points in an image. For the purpose of this tutorial, let's start off by defining the two related ideas that we'll focus on, tonal range and contrast: Tonal range is a measurement of dynamic range in an image, from how white the brightest point is to how black the darkest point is. It doesn't describe the content of the photo, but does gives us the information about the nature of the photographic container. We usually talk about tonal ranges as expanded or compressed, large or small. Contrast is a description of the distribution of all the rest of the tones in a photo, inside that image's tonal range. Because contrast is a description of a visual relationship, we usually talk about contrast in terms of ratios, such as with "high contrast" or "low contrast" photographs. We say "global" contrast to talk about the contrast of the image overall, and "local" contrast to describe a specific region of the photo.  Read on to see the Lightroom tools that make it easy to perfect tone and contrast. How to Correct Tone and Contrast in Adobe LightroomControlling tone and contrast is an important step, because it sets the stage for a lot of the creative expression that happens later in the post-production process. The goal with correcting tone and contrast is to create a photo where we can see all of the detail available before we make those creative decisions. Lightroom's Develop module holds the tools we'll use in this tutorial to correct tone and contrast. Because tone and contrast covers a multitude of tools, this tutorial will really serve as a jumping off point to learn more about the six sliders (that make up four controls) focused on tone and contrast. As always, Lightroom gives you multiple tools to accomplish similar tasks. Here are simple explanation of the sliders we'll review:
Corrections and AdjustmentsSo, what is correct tone? For me, I tend to bring all of my edits to a neutral, not-too-anything, point before I start editing for creativity. That means that they aren't overly contrasty, no information is lost or "blown" in the highlights, and no information is lost or "crushed" in the shadows. Our workflow will go through each of the tools above, in the same order. Each of these tools overlap, but have different purposes: Exposure and Contrast make global adjustments, while the other sliders control specific sets of tones in the tonal range. It's best to dial in your basics, then modify for precision. Once you've corrected your images to a neutral point with these sliders, create a Virtual Copy before you start working with an image more creatively. This creates a handy point to return to if you decide later to go in another creative direction. Learn how in our tutorial below. How to Use the Exposure SliderExposure is a one-slider stop to adjust the overall brightness of an image. In short, exposure describes the lighting over the entire image, and the Exposure slider controls it in Adobe Lightroom. How does Exposure fit into tone correction? Well, think of it this way: if you know the entire image needs a shift in a direction, this is the best first step. Exposure is a good first step to give a "general" adjustment to the overall image so that it makes better use of the full tonal range.  Pull the slider to shift all of the tones in your image in a given direction. A left adjustment decreases exposure, while a right adjustment increases exposure. We've just scratched the surface of basic Exposure adjustments. Check out this tutorial for an in-depth guide to exposure correction in Adobe Lightroom. How to Use the Contrast SliderThe contrast slider increases or decreases the visual distance between the brightest and darkest parts of an image. I tend to use contrast for correction in two situations:
Increase contrast to correct it if your image is a bit faded. That brings more contrast back to the image and "corrects" it to a more neutral state. Contrast is one adjustment that's a it heavy-handed and easy to get carried away with. Remember, we're still at the stage where we're bringing images to a fairly neutral state. Use this sparingly until you fork your image into a "creative" copy with a virtual copy. How to Use Highlights and Shadows SlidersHighlights and Shadows go hand-in-hand, controlling the light and dark areas of an image, respectively. If you already moved the contrast slider, maybe you noticed that you sacrificed a certain part of an image. This is where the Highlights and Shadows sliders become extremely useful. With just a bit of adjustment, you can bring a part of an image back into the proper range. If contrast made your image too bright, dial highlights to the left. If you gave up detail in the shadows, pull the slider to the right.  As we move past the Exposure and Contrast slider, realize this: the other sliders help you dial in more precise adjustments. They control more specific parts of the image for precise tonal adjustments. Check out our fully-featured tutorial on Highlight and Shadow controls to learn more: How to Use Whites and Blacks SlidersThe Whites and Blacks slider is similar to the Highlights and Shadows slider, but it controls a different part of the image. While highlights and shadows controls the bright and dark parts of the image respectively, Whites and Blacks control the edges of the tonal range. The Whites slider sets the very brightest point of an image. The Blacks Slider sets the point for the darkest point of an image. If you captured your image in RAW, pulling these sliders can sometimes bring more detail back to the image. For a correction, these can help bring your image back into range. If you have an overexposed image, pull the Whites with a left adjustment. Underexposed images might benefit from pulling the Blacks slider to the right. Put It All TogetherTo recap, you have Exposure, Contrast, Highlights and Shadows, Black and Whites. With these four tools, you can have very fine control over the way your photograph looks. The Best Way to Style Your Images in Adobe LightroomThis tutorial is another entry in our series on correcting your images in Adobe Lightroom. But correction is just the first step when working with your images. After your images are brought back to a neutral, balanced frame, it's time to get creative. With the help of Adobe Lightroom presets, creative edits are easy. Download presets, add them to Lightroom, and you're on your way to one-click transformations. The best source for Adobe Lightroom presets is Envato Elements. Sure, you can find free presets. But, the quality just doesn't match what Elements offers.

| How to Colour Correct and Grade Flat Video Fast With Look-up Tables (LUTs) in Premiere Pro Posted: 02 Dec 2020 05:50 AM PST Getting the balance right between file sizes, speed and quality often means setting your camera to compress your image into flat film footage. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use a corrective or creative LUT for Premiere Pro to tease out the best from that flat footage and have it looking great, in no time. Flat FootageThe result of recording a lot of sensor information while balancing size and speed is a much flatter-looking, washed-out image which needs some colour grading and adjustment. In retaining more of the information in the highlights and shadows, the highlights are darker and the shadows are lighter, resulting in a very low contrast image, but one with far more scope when it comes to editing. There are three main recording methods that produce flat, compressed footage, raw video, ProRes video, and Log video. Log profiles and ProRes Codecs are more widely available, and produce smaller file sizes than if you were trying to shoot raw. As trade-offs go, it's not a bad one – you get manageable files but still have captured a good dynamic range to be able to get more out of your footage. Raw VideoWhen it comes to shooting video or making photographs, we often think of raw data capture as the pinnacle of quality, as it's recording as much of the sensor information as possible without any processing, and with limited compression. Even for photography this can yield some huge file sizes, but when it comes to video it's just about unmanageable for most of us in terms of storage and computer costs just to work with the footage. Raw video essentially unenviable as-is, needing conversion to video with special codecs and high-spec equipement. ProRes VideoProRes is what I've come to think of as raw-lite. It's a series of codecs developed by Apple that essentially store each frame as its own image in the video file (known as intra-frame) and each frame is encoded and decoded independently of the rest, which results in bigger files but also makes them easier to read in your editing software, meaning you have a slightly easier time of editing larger files. ProRes has become an industry standard and a variety of options are available on a range of cameras. For example, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras come with ProRes 422, 422 LT and 422 Proxy, all of which are variations of the ProRes codecs, balancing size, quality and speed/complexity depending on your needs. If you're feeling extra thirsty for lovely, nerdy Apple codec data, they've written an interesting white paper. Log ProfilesSince technology has improved in leaps and bounds and become more affordable, there are more casual, amateur, and semi-pro film makers who need to make high-quality productions, but in a manageable and realistic way. Most camera manufacturers offer versions of something called Log (logarithmic) footage which are profiles customised to their specific camera abilities and compatible with widely-supported compressed video formats. Log profiles have a much wider dynamic and tonal range when compared to regular linear profiles, which means you capture more detail in shadows and highlights that might otherwise be lost. How to Correct and Grade Quickly With Look-up TablesLUTs, or look-up tables, are image adjustment profiles can be a quick and easy way to bring your video back up to a good base-editing point (i.e. restore the colour and contrast) and also to colour grade and stylise your footage. Here, I'll take a look at how you can quickly and easily install and apply a LUT in Premiere Pro. Here's what I'll be using: Ultra Color | LUTs pack for Any SoftwareHow to Correct and Colour Grade Flat Video Footage With LUTs (Look up Tables)Open Your FootageOpen the footage that you'd like to apply your LUT to and highlight it by clicking on it. It needs to be highlighted for the LUT to apply – if you have more than one piece of footage open, highlight the one you'd like to work on.  Load in Your LUTGo to the Lumetri Color panel. There are two ways to load in a LUT.  1. In Basic Correction you'll see Input LUT. Click to drop that down and you'll see some default camera profiles in the list already. Click on Browse and it'll open up your File Explorer for you to navigate to your LUT and open it.  2. In Creative there's a dropdown menu next to Look. Hit Browse and you can navigate to where you've saved your LUT and click Open. Important: Which option you'll use will depend what your aim is. Essentially, the Basic Correction tab should be used for LUTs that are corrective. By that, I mean they bring your flat footage to a good editable base point. Creative is how it sounds, for LUTs that are intended to colour grade your footage. You can actually install any type of LUT in either section, but choosing another in the Creative menu would simply replace any previous one you had selected. If you wanted to use both a corrective and a creative LUT, you'd need to install them in the appropriate sections.  Also, with Creative, you'll get an opacity slider to control the effect - as above- so you can decrease it from 100 down to 0, or up from 100 to 200.   I've gone for Cinematic 04 to demonstrate. Make Basic Corrections If you want to flip between your before and after so that you can see the effect, head over to Effects Control and turn Lumetri Color off and on.
