Teach you how to LR pull up a picture like HDR effect big scene

There have been many friends like me last year in Shanghai, the Yangtze River Flute Music Festival shot on the "battlefield Autumn soldiers of", but also very curious I from the early to late a process is how.　　Alone Lele as the public Lele, today I will share with you this picture of the color of the idea. This photo is taken by Canon 5d2+ Teng long 17-35 f2.8-4, RAW format output, later in the LR to complete the adjustment. Let's take a look at the previous and late comparisons.

Shooting parameters: Aperture F8, shutter 1/800, ISO 500

Early filming, the main idea is to ensure a certain degree of depth through the small circle, but also as far as possible to highlight and shadow to set aside as much detail, plus the raw format of greater latitude, depending on the latter can also save some details back.　　In order to ensure the details on the basis of better color matching. The step-by-step instructions for later adjustment steps are as follows:

Import photos into LR

1. First put the photo into LR

Fine-tune composition

2. Fine-tuning the composition

3. "Base" module

The Basics Module

Pull down the highlights, brighten the shadows, and retrieve as many details as possible. Pull high definition to make the edge profile of the photo more Hale. The main idea of this step is to set a tone for the photo, leaving out as many details as possible, so that the subsequent adjustment steps have a better play space.

4. "Curve" module

The Curve module

This step is to further balance the transition between the high light and the details, while the red, blue curve fine-tuning, so that the picture began to favor the golden tone. The addition of different control points in the curve needs to be decided according to the actual situation in the photograph and adjusted with the parameters.

5. "HSL" module

"HSL" module

Hue unchanged, some of these channels for a slight adjustment.

6. "Split tone" module

Detach Tint Module

The high light is yellow, the shadow is blue, and then to the high light to do more balance. In this step of regulation, further let the photo be golden. I sometimes reduce some of the saturation, and then do the separation of colors, so that some of the color in the picture does not appear so abrupt.

7. "Details" module

"Detail" module

Moderate sharpening (In fact this step is at the end of the adjustment to do, but I write out when the LR software module order from the top down).

8. "Lens correction" module

"Lens correction" module

Make a dark corner.

The next "effect" module, I did not adjust, it is not specifically written.

9. "Camera Calibration" module

Picture description

Further slight adjustment of color.

10. "Gradient Filter" module

In this step, I used 5 gradient filters to adjust the local shading and color transitions.

Picture description

Gradients 1 and 2 are a group of, all from the top down, the gradient 1 of the action area is a small block, gradient 2 of the action area from the top to the part of the population (edge to the lower left of the dark part). This set of gradients is used to adjust the high light clouds above the photo. In the actual adjustment of time, in fact, was first with the gradient 2, color temperature is warm, reduce exposure, reduce the high light; then found that the top of the transition is not natural, add a gradient of 1, to the top of the area to add a bit of exposure.

Gradients 3 and 5 are used respectively for the lower-left and lower-right corners of the dark, moderately light exposure.

The gradient 4 is used as a whole underneath the picture, slightly reducing the exposure.

So far, the adjustment of this picture is over.

I would like to specifically note that this tutorial is based on the LR module from top to bottom of the sequence, and the actual adjustment process, it is necessary for several different modules between the adjustment and mutual leveling, to achieve better results.　　For example, the use of gradient, is combined with exposure, curve and so on together. At that time because of a lot of objective reasons, I repair the pace of the film is very hasty, every day to repair hundreds of photos, allocated to each photo time is very short. The film was in a hurry and it was over in a few minutes. After releasing for some time, I looked back, also felt that in the late process there are some details because too hasty and not deal with good enough, it seems too blunt. These deficiencies, but also please pat it! I also hope that you and I have a lot to share their experience.
