Using LR to easily create natural bright tones

Finally began to write the later color of the tutorial, first from the most basic photo adjustment began. Put on the final effect chart of this tutorial first.

This is the photo taken at 12 o ' clock at noon, of course, because our side is high latitude, so the sun at 12 o ' clock is not the top of the light, but also can shoot against the light.

The original piece was exposed to normal, but it was necessary to highlight the dark part of the face and background.

So do the following processing: (a special Chinese version of the Lightroom, easy to see)

1, the appropriate increase in exposure, at the same time reduce high light, brighten the shadow.

2, appropriate sharpening, I generally use the value of 20. The brightness and saturation should be based on the picture, not too much. For this picture, the numerical value is shown below.

3, adjust the curve. The same is also the reduction of light and highlight shadows.

4, for the color adjustment is: Highlight orange, moderate pressure dark green and blue (because to emphasize the blue sky and the background of the tree.) ) values are shown below.

In addition, the green saturation is slightly higher (this photo uses a value of +7), the following figure does not show this, no additional screenshots ha.

5. Separate tones

A bit like Photoshop's color balance. For this photo, because it is sunny noon, conform to and emphasize bright light and natural color, high light with cold blue tone, shadow with a warm red hue. The values are shown below.

This picture is tuned! This is the adjustment of natural color photos, is a relatively basic adjustment routines. You should not be too concerned about the number of adjustments, this is based on the photo changes. To realize is the color and light and later adjustment of the corresponding relationship. Slowly you can pull out the color and feel you want.
