Lesson Info

Lightroom: Contrast, Exposure and Saturation

If I wanna continue working on this HDR, I would simply come back into my light area and I would start adding a little bit more contrast to it. But I can also come in and bring the shadows up a little bit more. So I can come over to the brush, click on the brush, and grab the exposure, bring it up a little bit, and I'm going to paint a little bit of brightness into the rock itself, so that I get a little bit more detail in there. So I'm going to just brighten up this rock just a little bit so that we see it a little bit better because I like it. And then I can actually play around with that rock. I can play with the exposure, I can add a little bit of extra contrast to it, and I can come in and add some saturation so that we see some more of that moss in there and stuff like that. So you can see that I've created a mask on the rock with the brush. And I've brightened it up so that I have enough detail in the rock to match the rest of the photograph.

I wish more people would present this way! Each step from beginning to end demonstrated in short, concise and useful actions. Every tool and technique is something that I either use, (now better) or will start using because I now understand how to use it efficiently. I highly recommend this course!

Finally, a video tutorial that taught me what I've known on basic level and truly explore how to use it properly and what everything means. I've been waiting for something like this for awhile now. Greatly improves my technique now so thank you for this!
