All language subtitles for Episode nº 49 Patreon Postproduction

Hello friends, how are you?

How are things going?

I hope everything goes as best as possible.

Welcome to a new video.

In today's video, as you can see, I

want to talk to you a little bit

about editing, okay?

And before I start, I would like to

comment on a couple of things that are

really important.

The first is that in recent days there

have been quite a few people who have

been part of, well, Patreon, so this is

for you.

The truth is that you have been a

few days, and what I would recommend, or

what I recommend, is that it would be

very good for you to start watching chapters,

to start watching videos from the beginning, since,

for example, in this video I am going

to talk about editing, obviously, but I am

not going to stop or I am not

going to go deeper into explaining Photoshop concepts

or Camera Raw, because I have already done

it in the previous chapters.

Therefore, so that you understand everything perfectly, I

would recommend that you take a look at

the first chapters in which I talked about

editing, so that, in case you do not

understand something today, well, it will be clear

to you, okay?

It's just a piece of advice, okay?

And second, it was that the images that

I have selected to edit are these two,

and these two images have many things in

common.

The first is that, both in one and

the other, both in this one and in

this one, the composition really does not work

perfectly, I mean, it is about to work,

the images are almost quite good, but they

are not at all, because, as I already

told you in the previous videos, well, whatever,

I was nervous, I was not fresh, I

was not right, whatever we want to call

it, but the truth is that I did

not control the compositions so well, and although

they are not bad, they are not perfect,

do you understand me?

And, or, but, sorry, but, I consider these

images good because they have served me to

explain to you perfectly, and I think I

did, I think, to explain to you how

I work, how I see the lines, what

I see behind a huge environment, how I

fix myself, or what things I stop to

build or to get to have the images

I have.

Therefore, what I want to get to, I

think, are very, very didactic images that show

the degree of intentionality that exists on the

part of the photographer when it comes to

wanting to capture something in particular, right?

I think it is a good seed for

you, or that they have been good seeds

for you to understand a little better what

I see, how my head works, for example,

how I act, or how I direct the

couple, how I combine both strong natural light

with flash, or simply how I combine natural

light with the couple, and above all, how

I rely on geometric elements, such as triangles

or circles, to finally get to what I

am looking for.

In addition to triangles and circles, light is

one of the vehicular elements that helps me

to develop, or to, in quotation marks, to

eliminate all the superfluous of the image.

I mean, notice that where I go, both

in this one and this one, is at

the very least, okay?

To the minimum expression, I mean, to the

same couple as such, okay?

In fact, as I have told you, I

use both circles and triangles in these images,

in particular, as light, and thanks to those

two elements they make it possible for me

to express myself as a photographer and to

be able to capture the type of images

that I have, okay?

Well, I won't entertain myself any longer, I'm

not going to steal a second more from

you, and we're going to start with what

would be the editing, okay?

I'm going to start with this one, it's

really super simple, and as you can see,

from the first moment, almost from the moment

of the shot, it was already clear what

I was going to have, or the result

I was going to get.

You also have to have something very, very

clear, and that is that, at the moment

before shooting, I already imagine how the final

result will be.

Do you understand what I mean?

I mean, this is not going to shoot

or take photos and then we sit down

in Camera Raw or we sit down in

Lightroom and we already find something.

No, no, no, everything has an intention and

everything is shot, everything is worked on, depending

on, in this case, the editing.

In other words, to call it that, it

is a creative process in which it begins

from the beginning with the shot or with

the idea in which you already know how

it will end up, or you imagine and

finally that post-production that will finish filing

or perfecting the details that can be done.

Simply, the first point, and I see it

is a mistake on the left, you see

that you have to cut a little bit

because I have here a kind of, well,

it is the limit of the wall, so

I am going to cut it out and

I am going to leave it more or

less there and I am going to frame

a little more here.

Once I have more or less done this,

simply, the only thing I am going to

do is use the Tremontana preset, as you

are seeing, it has practically left it almost

ready for me, simply then what I am

going to do next is play a little

with the lighting of the blues and I

am going to give it a little more

there and I think that could start to

work and simply the image we could say

that it is already finished, it is already

practically ready, the only thing I am going

to do is open it in Photoshop.

You already know that most of the images

in this case, which are like these, which

are consciously worked, I usually always finish them

in Photoshop to finish them.

Here, the only thing I want to do

is use the 3D light tool to simply

darken a little.

What I'm going to do is, I'm going

to take it here, I'm going to darken,

I'm going to give it a little more,

okay, that's it, that's it, a little more,

a little more, a little more, more

or less, and one more thing, I will

darken below, because below, for my taste, it

was too bright and I wanted almost all

the strength to go so much for the

head, that is, for the face of the

groom, which we have here, and then the

rest to go here, as you are seeing.

Well, I think the image is ready, why

are we going to get more dizzy if

it is already good, right?

So, simple, image mode, 8 bits, file, save

as, you

already know that, well, in case any of

you have any kind of doubt, you already

know that you can put it in the

comments or ask me what you want, and

you already know that I will always answer

you at all times.

Okay, let's go to the last image, as

you can see, this is the original roll,

simply, as always, I am going to make

a small cut to enhance the triangles more,

up to there, and I am going to

cut again a little more or less, a

little more, around there, okay?

Once I have more or less done, well,

again, I am going to use, for example,

my preset.

Previously I made, for example, another Montana, and

this time I am going to use Bochorno,

because it all depends, each of them, on

the degree of contrast you want in your

image, okay?

So what I want is, for this image,

Bochorno is perfect for it, right?

I'm just going to lower the lights a

little bit, okay?

More or less, I'm going to apply a

little more contrast, and the blues, to my

liking, are perhaps too, too high, so first

I'm going to lower a little bit of

brightness, and after saturation, also a little bit,

so that they don't look so, so, that

they look a little fake, okay?

Simply, more or less, I could darken some

more area here, but you already know that

I prefer to do it directly with Photoshop,

so what I'm going to do is open

it, and the only thing I want to

do, right?

So as not to distract the viewer so

much, what I'm going to do is darken

this whole area a little bit, okay?

I want to leave it with texture, but

I want to darken it a little bit,

for, as I say, right?

So that there are only two protagonists, or

the viewer's attention goes, first, to the triangle,

and second, that it goes to the guy

above, okay?

So, simply, as always, remember the 3D light

tool, okay?

And what I'm going to do is contrast

a little bit this wall that I have

right in front, the opacity, I'm going to

lower it a little more, and I'm just

going to give it a little bit of

contrast, always trying to make it stay, or

keep a little bit of the texture, right?

That it stays there.

Once I have more or less done this,

I would like to make this a little

darker, I'm going to open it, I'm going

to give it a little more here, okay?

And, sorry, there, okay.

I was going to give it a little

more contrast here, okay?

I'm going to give it a little bit

of darkening, and more or less the image,

seriously, I think it could almost be liquidated

there, okay?

I think more or less there.

And, simply, what I'm going to do is

get closer to him, and give him a

little light, very, very little, okay?

Something like this, just very, very little, okay?

To lift it up, and I'm going to

take advantage of it and put it there,

and at the same time that I clarify,

I'm going to apply a little contrast, and

now the image is ready.

Simply, as a last tool, I didn't do

it in the previous one, because I didn't

need it, but in this one, yes, I'm

going to apply a layer of adjustment in

Soft Light, and I'm going to give it

a 20%, more or less, and I'm still

going to play with the blues separately, and

I'm still going to give it a little

less, so that it doesn't have so much

strength, there.

And already in the image, as you are

seeing, it is totally finished.

Image mode, 8 bits, File, Save as, and

we save it as God commands.

Okay, well, let's go back here.

So that's it, friends.

You see that, more or less, if we

compare them, we have darkened a little bit

in certain parts, and we have cut a

little more, until the image has been more

or less as I wanted.

I just wanted to tell you that I

found it interesting that in the two previous

videos, I told you about how we work

in the session of Jesús and Rubén, and

I thought it could be a good idea

for me to show you the edition of

two of the most impactful or most interesting

images that we did in that session, because

sometimes if you see the finished image, sometimes

you don't do it at all, or you

are not aware of what has been behind,

or the place in which it was photographed.

As you can see, it only needed to

have a slightly consistent idea, and then work

on it, and that's it.

So that's it, friends.

I hope you liked this, I hope this

video has helped you, and see you very

soon here.

Be good, bye!
