See, the first photo that we're gonna be working on is this harbor shot here. First thing we're going to do is we're going to come in and we're going to tweak these basic settings pass. Now, temperature and tint, that's for more white balancing. So our data is pretty well white balance is leaning a little bit more towards the blue already, which I liked, because it was a cooler cold today. So they're going to leave that tinted temperature alone, we might come back to it later, depending on how I think the photo is going. exposure is already nice and bright, I don't want the dark and authentic at all.

So we're gonna leave that alone to come down to contrast. And it's already pretty contrasty because it's a very overcast day. So it's going to reduce that to maybe minus 10 minus 13. So just to counteract that slightly, now we're going to lift the shadows up significantly to fight out the image to give us as much dynamic range to work with as possible, around 91. And just so we don't lose too much of the contrast, we're going to drop the blacks down to negative to say Clothing skirts, men's bring some of that detail back and we're gonna push clarity out maybe 20 maybe t looks quite nice. And then saturation, we're just going to be saturated right now.

So we're going to pull that down to around 20 shirts quite nice. So you can see already decided to take some pretty serious changes just on the basic settings alone. So we can toggle between our edited photo and our original photo by hitting the backslash on the keyboard. So you can see nothing major done so far more just flattening out the photo and giving us the most wide frames to work with. So now that we've done the basic settings, we're going to go down to calibration settings. Let's move away bottom of our editing panel.

And the only one for this one that I'm going to change is I'm going to change the red saturation and I'm going to punch that way up to around 65 or say chips quite nice. You can just see by just doing that, you can see just here on the brandings, just how much that blue is starting to pop. So even though the red saturation that we pump, and not the blue primary, which would do something like this, the red helps to introduce some more TEALS. And so we're gonna leave the rest of the calibration alone, these ones, we're just gonna, somebody focus on the saturation, we're going to go back up to the top, and the next thing we're going to look at is the title curve. And we're just gonna make a standard S curve here, nice S curve, three point S. And then which can be saying that I personally like doing that just fade the blocks of MSA slightly.

Okay, so it's coming along nicely. So nice looking very blue, which we're going to address when we start tweaking the HSL, which is hue saturation and leave In the color Adjustments panel, so I like to have mine set to all so I can see all of them set out here. And if you first open the software it might be set to here which is just the first tab on the HSM which means you just have to toggle between the different hue saturation and luminance. So for me, I'm going to have it on all and we're going to start with our red so we can push that up into the Pharisees yellow truck that all the way down. Van and Chris, we're going to push up episode slightly 22 we'll be fine. I'm very we're gonna drop down pretty significantly.

So we start to really hit. We have to narrow it down to saturation. Just get right to swipe left Orange, we're going to punch up significantly. So we get that nice orange and teal whoops to the phytase 50. For this one. Yeah, that would begin to do the same 40s really starts to bring up its oranges, greens, which is going to draw these all the way down to 18 7090.

Drop Off Blaze, blue, jumping around three. And that just about any magenta, it's in there. Cool. So it's starting to look really nice and orange and teal, the vibes that we're going for with this biotech. So now we're on to the last section of the HSL which is the luminance and we're going to drop direct to about minus 20 or 25 with kids, and then we'll put the oranges down to similar Valley in the heart Cheers, yellow just barely see. Aqua, as you pull down to about minus 4040s is looking quite nice.

They will pull those down, Doc. Perfect. So that's already taking a nice shape in my opinion. So what we've done here, the hue is the hue of the individual color. So we can shift the red more towards a pinky or more towards an orangey. We can change the values of each of these individual colors, moving them to slightly different color.

That's what the hue value does. The second option, which is the saturation is the richness, the deepness of each of those individual colors. So by moving it more towards 100%, that's going to be full saturation. And moving into negative 100%, that's going to be no color of that individual color whatsoever. Now the third option, the luminance, that's the individual brightness of that particular color, so we can bright in red all the way up, or we can dark in red all the way as well. So the last thing that we'll do with this photo is we just gonna adjust the Split Toning, or Split Toning does is it adds a color of your choice.

So manufactured fake column if you were into your photo, and you can add it into the highlights, so the brighter lighter parts of the photo, like here and here, or the shadows, so that's the darker parts of the photo. So like here and down here, we can introduce the color of our choice. So for this one, we're going to want to introduce a little bit of orange around the paint and the saturation is just again how much of that color that we want to introduce into the photo. So I'm gonna leave it around. Team 15 is nice. And then the shadows we're going to do.

Again, another bit of orange into the shadows just to keep an eye sex night on that saturation. And then if we just toggle this on and off, you can see it's a very slight difference, but what it's doing is really giving us this nice orange color. And what this does, why this photo is so effective is because on the left hand side, you've got this really nice blues. And then the right side you've got these really natural orange tones that really complement each other giving it that really lovely orange and teal feel to the photo. And that's everything that was done to this photo so we can have a little look now at the before and the after. before and after.

So you can see it gives this really nice orange and to heavily edited effects that Michaela has on Instagram accounts. The only thing that I'm would do now is I would just crop the photo because we've got this railing here slightly out of focus and it's just made a current. pull this up over here. Make sure horizon line is nice and straight which looks like it is and then we can just hit done. Now I've got this lovely contrast the orange and teal photo.
