00:00:09,444 --> 00:00:11,414 to exercise our creative muscle. 4 00:00:11,834 --> 00:00:14,744 We will cover creating black and white masterpieces, 5 00:00:14,746 --> 00:00:17,066 adding grain to our images, 6 00:00:17,066 --> 00:00:19,306 and creating vignetting effects. 7 00:00:20,049 --> 00:00:21,729 In a previous lesson I talked about 8 00:00:21,729 --> 00:00:24,479 an easy way to convert images to black and white. 9 00:00:25,208 --> 00:00:26,988 By going into the Basic panel, 10 00:00:26,985 --> 00:00:29,735 and clicking on the black and white button. 11 00:00:30,281 --> 00:00:33,161 And that's just a straight conversion into black and white. 12 00:00:33,356 --> 00:00:34,136 But as you can see, 13 00:00:34,139 --> 00:00:35,549 you have very little control 14 00:00:35,545 --> 00:00:39,095 about the tonality and the density of this image. 15 00:00:39,834 --> 00:00:41,664 So we're gonna use a much more flexible 16 00:00:41,667 --> 00:00:44,187 and capable way of converting the image to black and white. 17 00:00:44,786 --> 00:00:46,586 I'm going to undo this change, 18 00:00:46,865 --> 00:00:50,555 and we're gonna go down to the black and white panel 19 00:00:50,554 --> 00:00:53,054 which is bunched together with the hues, 20 00:00:53,049 --> 00:00:54,989 saturation, luminous, and color. 21 00:00:54,985 --> 00:00:56,715 So we'll click on black and white. 22 00:00:56,713 --> 00:00:59,853 And as you can see, what this did was convert my image 23 00:00:59,857 --> 00:01:01,587 to black and white. 24 00:01:01,676 --> 00:01:05,006 Just like the other control under the Basic panel did. 25 00:01:05,618 --> 00:01:08,938 However, now we have all these different colors. 26 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,090 All these different slider for different colors 27 00:01:11,090 --> 00:01:12,890 that allow us to manipulate 28 00:01:12,891 --> 00:01:15,271 each individual color independently 29 00:01:16,386 --> 00:01:19,016 For those of you that shot black and white film, 30 00:01:19,018 --> 00:01:21,068 one of the techniques that was used 31 00:01:21,066 --> 00:01:23,496 for creating different looks in your black and white images 32 00:01:23,498 --> 00:01:26,388 was to use different colored filters in front of your lens. 33 00:01:26,858 --> 00:01:29,078 And Lightroom is giving us that same opportunity, 34 00:01:29,073 --> 00:01:31,953 but doing it in a much more flexible way 35 00:01:31,955 --> 00:01:33,355 in the post-processing. 36 00:01:34,170 --> 00:01:34,970 So let's take a look. 37 00:01:34,965 --> 00:01:36,485 Let's say that for example, 38 00:01:36,485 --> 00:01:39,775 in this sky, the sky is kind of light colored, 39 00:01:39,772 --> 00:01:41,512 I wanna add a lot of density to that sky, 40 00:01:41,515 --> 00:01:43,005 make it look a little more ominous, 41 00:01:43,002 --> 00:01:44,822 so one of the easiest things to do is, 42 00:01:44,818 --> 00:01:46,928 because I know that the sky is blue, 43 00:01:46,930 --> 00:01:49,120 I can manipulate my blue slider 44 00:01:49,122 --> 00:01:51,222 to actually add a lot of density 45 00:01:51,226 --> 00:01:53,006 and make that sky much darker. 46 00:01:54,108 --> 00:01:56,448 And by just moving the slider a little bit to the left 47 00:01:56,449 --> 00:01:58,689 you can see how I'm making that sky a little bit more 48 00:01:58,687 --> 00:02:01,077 foreboding, and much more dramatic. 49 00:02:01,603 --> 00:02:03,823 And I can do the same thing for some of 50 00:02:03,826 --> 00:02:05,336 the other colors in the scene. 51 00:02:05,337 --> 00:02:07,237 For example I can move the greens, 52 00:02:07,234 --> 00:02:10,014 either to the left or to the right to change the look 53 00:02:10,017 --> 00:02:12,417 of the foliage in the foreground. 54 00:02:12,970 --> 00:02:16,060 However, there's certain elements in the image 55 00:02:16,057 --> 00:02:19,457 for which I don't exactly know what the color is. 56 00:02:20,632 --> 00:02:23,052 I can use a color picker like we saw earlier, 57 00:02:23,056 --> 00:02:24,656 in the HSL slider. 58 00:02:25,361 --> 00:02:27,161 I can click on the little circle right here 59 00:02:27,161 --> 00:02:28,971 on the left hand, upper left hand side 60 00:02:28,969 --> 00:02:30,709 of the black and white panel, 61 00:02:30,705 --> 00:02:34,185 and I can select for example one of these flowers over here. 62 00:02:35,179 --> 00:02:37,609 Click on it and move my mouse up or down 63 00:02:37,609 --> 00:02:40,389 to actually change the tonality of those flowers 64 00:02:40,384 --> 00:02:42,384 and make them stand out more, 65 00:02:43,429 --> 00:02:44,289 or less. 66 00:02:44,292 --> 00:02:46,022 I wanna move them up a little bit. 67 00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:50,220 Very simple to do, 68 00:02:50,221 --> 00:02:51,651 but just simply manipulating 69 00:02:51,652 --> 00:02:53,822 all the colored filter sliders 70 00:02:53,826 --> 00:02:55,446 under the black and white panel. 71 00:02:56,137 --> 00:02:57,827 Let's take a look at another image. 72 00:03:00,010 --> 00:03:03,180 This image also is from Mount Rainier National Park 73 00:03:03,177 --> 00:03:04,527 in Washington State, 74 00:03:04,530 --> 00:03:06,550 and I'd like to give this image a black and white treatment. 75 00:03:06,552 --> 00:03:08,552 So we're gonna go into black and white again. 76 00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:11,530 But as you can see, 77 00:03:11,525 --> 00:03:13,395 the image is really kinda dull, 78 00:03:13,390 --> 00:03:15,490 there's not a lot of contrast between the different 79 00:03:15,494 --> 00:03:16,854 elements in the image. 80 00:03:16,926 --> 00:03:19,996 So I'm gonna again use a lot of my sliders here 81 00:03:19,991 --> 00:03:23,441 to bring different contrast 82 00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:25,869 and different density 83 00:03:25,873 --> 00:03:27,473 to the different 84 00:03:28,399 --> 00:03:29,669 features within my image. 85 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,240 So I wanna add a little more density 86 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,220 to the rocks then here. 87 00:03:32,215 --> 00:03:33,905 I'm gonna use the color picker again, 88 00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:35,350 because I don't know exactly the color 89 00:03:35,351 --> 00:03:36,441 that the rocks are. 90 00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:38,069 I'm gonna click on it and bring that down 91 00:03:38,064 --> 00:03:41,664 to actually make those rocks darker. 92 00:03:42,279 --> 00:03:44,399 And I'm gonna again move the green up a little bit 93 00:03:44,399 --> 00:03:49,319 to add more contrast between the foliage that we're seeing, 94 00:03:49,689 --> 00:03:52,299 and the rocks in the foreground. 95 00:03:53,882 --> 00:03:55,412 Let's take a quick look at another image. 96 00:03:55,434 --> 00:03:57,744 Again we, our bear from before, 97 00:03:57,740 --> 00:03:59,850 we've looked at this bear in a couple other lessons, 98 00:04:00,322 --> 00:04:02,072 I'm gonna convert this to black and white 99 00:04:02,950 --> 00:04:04,510 and manipulate the colors a little bit. 100 00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:07,080 I'm gonna start with the greens again once more, 101 00:04:07,333 --> 00:04:08,873 make those a little darker, 102 00:04:08,877 --> 00:04:12,097 I'm gonna select the bear, 103 00:04:12,101 --> 00:04:15,311 or select the color picker and click on the fur 104 00:04:15,308 --> 00:04:18,298 of the bear and actually bring that a little bit 105 00:04:18,855 --> 00:04:21,045 lighter in to add some contrast 106 00:04:21,046 --> 00:04:23,786 between the foreground foliage and the bear. 107 00:04:23,878 --> 00:04:26,188 And then I'm gonna do the same thing with the background. 108 00:04:26,190 --> 00:04:27,490 I'm gonna bring that background in 109 00:04:27,494 --> 00:04:28,854 and make it a little darker. 110 00:04:29,375 --> 00:04:33,205 Now one of the things that we had when we shot film, 111 00:04:33,697 --> 00:04:35,287 is that different kinds of film 112 00:04:35,282 --> 00:04:38,352 imparted a different type of grain onto the image. 113 00:04:38,738 --> 00:04:41,458 A lot of people selected the film that they used 114 00:04:41,457 --> 00:04:43,497 based on the characteristics of that grain 115 00:04:43,499 --> 00:04:44,989 for the different kinds of film. 116 00:04:44,986 --> 00:04:47,256 In Lightroom, we can actually add grain 117 00:04:47,258 --> 00:04:48,498 to our images as well, 118 00:04:48,496 --> 00:04:50,736 to try to recreate what that looked like. 119 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,960 So we're going to go down here into Effects, 120 00:04:56,456 --> 00:04:59,836 and down at the bottom of the Effects panel, 121 00:05:00,456 --> 00:05:02,866 we can see that we have a control 122 00:05:02,864 --> 00:05:04,854 to add grain into our scene. 123 00:05:04,977 --> 00:05:06,787 So I'm gonna add a little bit of grain 124 00:05:06,783 --> 00:05:08,493 onto the scene, 125 00:05:08,488 --> 00:05:10,078 and I'm gonna zoom in a little bit 126 00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:11,979 so you can actually see what that effect looks like. 127 00:05:13,301 --> 00:05:16,321 I know a lot of us who shoot digital and color nowadays 128 00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:17,876 are trying to do everything we can 129 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,440 to remove the grain. 130 00:05:19,887 --> 00:05:21,907 But for black and white images, 131 00:05:21,903 --> 00:05:24,053 sometimes that grain can add a lot of texture 132 00:05:24,055 --> 00:05:25,575 and interest to our scene. 133 00:05:26,191 --> 00:05:28,251 So here we can, as you can see by moving 134 00:05:28,246 --> 00:05:30,336 the grain slider to the left or to the right 135 00:05:30,335 --> 00:05:32,255 I can actually add or remove grain. 136 00:05:32,254 --> 00:05:35,444 I can change the characteristics of the grain as well 137 00:05:35,446 --> 00:05:37,956 by adjusting the size of that grain. 138 00:05:37,952 --> 00:05:42,322 Make it more coarse or finer. 139 00:05:42,928 --> 00:05:44,708 And as well the roughness of the grain 140 00:05:44,711 --> 00:05:47,061 to actually come up with different looks or textures, 141 00:05:47,063 --> 00:05:50,843 depending on the look that you're trying to achieve. 142 00:05:51,150 --> 00:05:53,450 Or the look of the film that you're trying to emulate. 143 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,470 Another great feature that Lightroom provides 144 00:05:58,471 --> 00:06:00,251 for exercising that creative muscle, 145 00:06:00,254 --> 00:06:02,884 and creating really unique and different effects, 146 00:06:02,886 --> 00:06:04,416 is Split Toning. 147 00:06:04,807 --> 00:06:07,207 But not only that, you can use split toning as well, 148 00:06:07,209 --> 00:06:08,989 when you have an image that's a little dull 149 00:06:08,993 --> 00:06:10,363 as we'll see in a minute. 150 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,390 Let's first start with this image of some 151 00:06:12,385 --> 00:06:15,185 lobster boats on the coast of Maine. 152 00:06:16,505 --> 00:06:17,715 There are a lot of colors here, 153 00:06:17,717 --> 00:06:18,657 and the image is, 154 00:06:18,658 --> 00:06:20,528 actually I like the image quite a bit as it is, 155 00:06:20,524 --> 00:06:22,514 but now I wanna add more drama to the image. 156 00:06:22,511 --> 00:06:24,181 And actually saturate these colors 157 00:06:24,185 --> 00:06:26,145 and maybe change the colors a little bit. 158 00:06:26,681 --> 00:06:28,841 So we're gonna go in to the Split Toning panel. 159 00:06:28,836 --> 00:06:31,306 And what the Split Toning panel allows me to do 160 00:06:31,305 --> 00:06:34,205 is impart a different hue, or color, 161 00:06:34,208 --> 00:06:36,638 on the highlights of the image, 162 00:06:36,633 --> 00:06:38,803 and then a different hue or color 163 00:06:38,801 --> 00:06:39,821 on the shadow of the image. 164 00:06:39,824 --> 00:06:43,114 And control that, and control the balance between those two. 165 00:06:43,375 --> 00:06:45,475 I can start by either moving the hue slider, 166 00:06:45,471 --> 00:06:47,321 or actually clicking on this little box 167 00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:48,719 next to the highlights. 168 00:06:48,718 --> 00:06:51,908 This allows me to pick the color using the color picker. 169 00:06:52,832 --> 00:06:55,352 And I just also, not just the color that I'm picking, 170 00:06:55,356 --> 00:06:57,736 but also the saturation level. 171 00:06:57,816 --> 00:07:01,876 The lower I go on this box, the lower the saturation. 172 00:07:02,115 --> 00:07:03,945 The higher I go, the higher saturation. 173 00:07:03,949 --> 00:07:06,579 And I can choose whichever color I want to apply 174 00:07:06,581 --> 00:07:09,141 to the highlights on the image. 175 00:07:09,453 --> 00:07:11,143 So let's go for an orange color 176 00:07:11,140 --> 00:07:12,910 on the highlights of the image. 177 00:07:13,716 --> 00:07:15,356 Then I can close this box. 178 00:07:15,358 --> 00:07:18,278 And let's put in a blue to the shadow. 179 00:07:18,968 --> 00:07:23,308 And you can see this right as you're moving the dropper 180 00:07:23,304 --> 00:07:24,804 on the color picker, 181 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,740 as to what the effect is gonna look like. 182 00:07:28,088 --> 00:07:29,458 So let's choose that. 183 00:07:30,143 --> 00:07:32,783 Now I have another slider here 184 00:07:32,784 --> 00:07:35,914 that allows me to choose the balance between 185 00:07:35,912 --> 00:07:37,792 the highlights and the shadows, 186 00:07:37,793 --> 00:07:41,023 or how much of the orange is gonna bleed into the shadows, 187 00:07:41,023 --> 00:07:42,383 or vice versa. 188 00:07:42,672 --> 00:07:45,422 And the best way to demonstrate this is 189 00:07:45,425 --> 00:07:46,745 by experimenting with the slider. 190 00:07:46,741 --> 00:07:48,401 I can move the slider to the left 191 00:07:48,404 --> 00:07:51,624 and you can see that more of the blue is 192 00:07:51,620 --> 00:07:52,550 coming into the image, 193 00:07:52,548 --> 00:07:55,588 meaning that the blues are now bleeding a little bit 194 00:07:55,588 --> 00:07:58,198 into the highlights, not just on the shadows. 195 00:07:58,788 --> 00:08:00,938 And the reverse happens when I go to the right. 196 00:08:00,941 --> 00:08:02,431 Now I have more of the 197 00:08:02,997 --> 00:08:06,567 orange bleeding into my, 198 00:08:07,172 --> 00:08:09,462 the entire image than I had on the blues. 199 00:08:10,004 --> 00:08:12,484 So you wanna find the right balance in here 200 00:08:12,483 --> 00:08:15,003 to add a lot more drama to this image. 201 00:08:15,001 --> 00:08:16,581 This is a great way 202 00:08:16,585 --> 00:08:19,825 to salvage an image that may have been ho-hum before. 203 00:08:20,345 --> 00:08:22,175 So let's take a look at the before and after. 204 00:08:22,178 --> 00:08:24,258 I'm gonna use my before and after key. 205 00:08:24,907 --> 00:08:27,017 This is what it looked like before, 206 00:08:27,570 --> 00:08:29,110 and this is after the effects. 207 00:08:29,259 --> 00:08:30,999 A lot more dramatic, a lot more color, 208 00:08:31,002 --> 00:08:32,472 and a lot more interest. 209 00:08:33,714 --> 00:08:35,344 Let's take another example. 210 00:08:36,929 --> 00:08:39,099 This image of a polo rider on the beach 211 00:08:39,099 --> 00:08:41,589 I took in California a number of years ago. 212 00:08:41,891 --> 00:08:44,141 And we had pretty terrible light. 213 00:08:44,252 --> 00:08:45,662 The light was very flat, 214 00:08:45,659 --> 00:08:48,649 there was a big fog bank obscuring the sun, 215 00:08:48,651 --> 00:08:50,311 so we really didn't get any of the 216 00:08:50,311 --> 00:08:52,661 dramatic lighting that we were looking for. 217 00:08:52,995 --> 00:08:55,495 But I do like all the other elements in the scene. 218 00:08:55,570 --> 00:08:57,490 I like the horse, I like the position of the hooves, 219 00:08:57,491 --> 00:08:59,721 I like the fact that it's running in the water, 220 00:08:59,723 --> 00:09:01,813 I love the action in the waves. 221 00:09:02,411 --> 00:09:04,491 But unfortunately the light wasn't 222 00:09:04,492 --> 00:09:06,152 all that favorable for us. 223 00:09:06,148 --> 00:09:07,928 So let's play around a little bit, 224 00:09:07,924 --> 00:09:10,424 or experiment with our Split Toning. 225 00:09:10,811 --> 00:09:13,151 I'm gonna do something very similar as I did before, 226 00:09:13,148 --> 00:09:14,788 I'm gonna go for the highlights. 227 00:09:14,789 --> 00:09:16,899 And let's switch it up a little bit. 228 00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:19,020 Let's go for blue highlights 229 00:09:21,010 --> 00:09:22,690 and orange shadows. 230 00:09:23,250 --> 00:09:24,740 And see what that looks like. 231 00:09:24,738 --> 00:09:28,108 Again, this is really all about experimentation 232 00:09:28,108 --> 00:09:29,728 and trying different things. 233 00:09:29,729 --> 00:09:33,039 But to me, the two, the pair of colors that works the best, 234 00:09:33,034 --> 00:09:35,594 or to me appeal to me the most, 235 00:09:35,593 --> 00:09:37,263 are gonna be orange and blue, 236 00:09:37,263 --> 00:09:38,893 and using those in combination. 237 00:09:38,897 --> 00:09:40,487 Sometimes in the shadows, 238 00:09:40,490 --> 00:09:42,210 putting the blue sometimes in the shadows, 239 00:09:42,209 --> 00:09:44,649 or sometimes putting the oranges in the shadows. 240 00:09:45,145 --> 00:09:47,465 And now you can see that what this has done, 241 00:09:47,467 --> 00:09:51,747 is added kind of a more antique photo effect 242 00:09:52,290 --> 00:09:53,680 onto the scene. 243 00:09:53,850 --> 00:09:55,960 And again, because this is Lightroom 244 00:09:55,964 --> 00:09:57,834 and we're doing non-destructive editing, 245 00:09:57,829 --> 00:10:00,509 you can experiment with these as much as you wanted. 246 00:10:00,706 --> 00:10:03,116 Change the colors, experiment with different things, 247 00:10:03,113 --> 00:10:04,703 or even create snapshots. 248 00:10:04,706 --> 00:10:07,096 If you like this, you can create a snapshot again, 249 00:10:07,098 --> 00:10:08,818 and experiment with another set of colors 250 00:10:09,122 --> 00:10:10,862 until you find the right colors 251 00:10:10,866 --> 00:10:13,546 and the right balance that pleases you the most. 252 00:10:16,468 --> 00:10:18,888 The last creative effect we're gonna look at is vignetting. 253 00:10:18,890 --> 00:10:20,680 And what vignetting allows us to do is 254 00:10:20,681 --> 00:10:24,081 create a dark frame around the edge of our image. 255 00:10:24,081 --> 00:10:25,831 And with vignetting, 256 00:10:25,834 --> 00:10:29,094 we can control and guide our viewer 257 00:10:29,089 --> 00:10:30,569 to the specific part of the image 258 00:10:30,570 --> 00:10:32,470 we want them to pay most attention to. 259 00:10:32,473 --> 00:10:34,633 So let's take a look at how to do that. 260 00:10:34,769 --> 00:10:35,939 So we're gonna look at vignetting 261 00:10:35,939 --> 00:10:38,339 under the Effects panel 262 00:10:38,521 --> 00:10:39,961 on the right hand side. 263 00:10:40,250 --> 00:10:43,030 And we have a number of different settings, 264 00:10:43,026 --> 00:10:44,296 our sliders here, 265 00:10:44,297 --> 00:10:45,637 on how to apply vignetting. 266 00:10:46,144 --> 00:10:48,304 Often times we want to apply 267 00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:51,090 a highlight priority-type vignetting, 268 00:10:51,432 --> 00:10:53,092 'cause that's what allows us to create 269 00:10:53,089 --> 00:10:55,019 that dark frame around the edges. 270 00:10:55,675 --> 00:10:57,435 But you can also do it by color priority 271 00:10:57,435 --> 00:10:58,565 and add a color 272 00:10:58,562 --> 00:11:01,142 to the edge of the frame as well. 273 00:11:02,203 --> 00:11:04,543 So what we're gonna do first is apply 274 00:11:04,539 --> 00:11:05,939 an amount of vignetting. 275 00:11:05,939 --> 00:11:06,979 And what you'll see is, 276 00:11:06,980 --> 00:11:09,450 that depending on which way I move this slider, 277 00:11:09,450 --> 00:11:12,140 I will be adding a dark, or a light vignette. 278 00:11:12,738 --> 00:11:14,168 If I go to the left, 279 00:11:14,170 --> 00:11:16,170 I'm adding a dark vignette to the scene. 280 00:11:16,273 --> 00:11:17,213 If I move to the right, 281 00:11:17,217 --> 00:11:18,987 I'm adding a light vignette to the scene. 282 00:11:18,986 --> 00:11:22,036 So it really depends on the look that you wanna 283 00:11:22,035 --> 00:11:24,115 apply to your image. 284 00:11:24,113 --> 00:11:26,943 I typically like to add a dark vignette to the image, 285 00:11:26,945 --> 00:11:29,845 and I can also control the midpoint 286 00:11:29,841 --> 00:11:32,041 of where the circle is going to be. 287 00:11:32,577 --> 00:11:36,597 And in a way, that also helps us apply the feathering. 288 00:11:37,024 --> 00:11:39,414 If I change the feathering all the way to the left, 289 00:11:39,416 --> 00:11:41,736 you can see that I have a very sharp circle. 290 00:11:42,464 --> 00:11:45,384 If I move it to the right, it's a very soft circle. 291 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,430 Now that we've adjusted our feather, 292 00:11:47,432 --> 00:11:48,972 we can also change the midpoint. 293 00:11:48,968 --> 00:11:51,098 And the midpoint allows us to control 294 00:11:51,097 --> 00:11:53,437 how far into the midpoint of the image 295 00:11:53,435 --> 00:11:56,065 the vignetting encroaches upon. 296 00:11:56,676 --> 00:11:58,196 I can also change the roundness, 297 00:11:58,195 --> 00:12:00,395 I can make it really round or more oval, 298 00:12:00,391 --> 00:12:01,501 or squarish, 299 00:12:01,496 --> 00:12:04,076 or I can also change the highlights as well, 300 00:12:04,074 --> 00:12:07,514 to what point the feathering is imparted 301 00:12:07,514 --> 00:12:08,944 on the highlights of the image. 302 00:12:08,943 --> 00:12:11,103 Now in this image, the highlights really don't 303 00:12:11,105 --> 00:12:13,045 make that big of a change, 304 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,030 because there's very few highlights included 305 00:12:16,032 --> 00:12:17,712 in the vignette. 306 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,980 Let's take a look at another example. 307 00:12:20,416 --> 00:12:22,336 Here we have a red fox image 308 00:12:22,335 --> 00:12:24,815 that I made a number of years ago in Montana. 309 00:12:24,846 --> 00:12:26,256 And this is absolutely one of my 310 00:12:26,255 --> 00:12:27,945 favorite images of all time. 311 00:12:27,942 --> 00:12:30,112 There's something about the look of this fox 312 00:12:30,110 --> 00:12:31,890 that really, truly captivates me. 313 00:12:31,894 --> 00:12:35,224 But I wanna add a little bit of vignetting to this image 314 00:12:35,518 --> 00:12:39,338 so that I can really draw the attention of the viewer 315 00:12:39,725 --> 00:12:43,365 straight into the fox's eyes and the fox's expression. 316 00:12:43,846 --> 00:12:47,496 So I'm gonna move my vignette slider amount 317 00:12:48,045 --> 00:12:49,145 a little bit to the left, 318 00:12:49,149 --> 00:12:51,439 and just impart that tiny bit 319 00:12:51,438 --> 00:12:53,378 of darkness around the edges, 320 00:12:53,379 --> 00:12:57,119 which really brings out the fox in the middle of the frame 321 00:12:57,438 --> 00:13:00,188 and makes that viewer really focus on the fox, 322 00:13:00,189 --> 00:13:04,259 and allows the background to sort of melt away. 323 00:13:05,725 --> 00:13:08,975 Now, the vignette tool is a very easy and quick way 324 00:13:08,975 --> 00:13:11,125 to apply a vignetting to an image. 325 00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:15,189 But often times, it's not an effective tool, 326 00:13:15,188 --> 00:13:18,188 especially if our subject is off-center. 327 00:13:18,684 --> 00:13:20,524 So let's take a look at another example here. 328 00:13:21,444 --> 00:13:24,414 In this particular example, we have this white squirrel 329 00:13:24,412 --> 00:13:25,912 that is off-center. 330 00:13:26,022 --> 00:13:28,542 Basically on the right side of the frame. 331 00:13:29,020 --> 00:13:30,740 If I were to apply a vignetting here, 332 00:13:31,996 --> 00:13:35,456 you can see that my vignette is not really focused around 333 00:13:35,451 --> 00:13:37,181 the squirrel itself. 334 00:13:37,523 --> 00:13:40,853 It's really spanning the center of the image. 335 00:13:41,171 --> 00:13:42,581 And if I add the vignette, 336 00:13:42,579 --> 00:13:44,639 or change the midpoint some more, 337 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,040 I am still not really focusing that vignette 338 00:13:48,041 --> 00:13:49,671 on the squirrel itself. 339 00:13:50,161 --> 00:13:52,191 So what are we to do? 340 00:13:52,695 --> 00:13:54,855 We can go back to another tool that we looked at 341 00:13:54,855 --> 00:13:56,835 earlier in this class, 342 00:13:57,711 --> 00:13:59,331 and that is the Radial tool. 343 00:14:00,350 --> 00:14:02,480 What the Radial tool allows us to do, 344 00:14:02,982 --> 00:14:05,372 is also create a vignette, 345 00:14:05,369 --> 00:14:06,809 in a slightly different way. 346 00:14:07,198 --> 00:14:11,148 So I am going to create a circle around my subject 347 00:14:11,518 --> 00:14:12,958 using the radial tool, 348 00:14:13,504 --> 00:14:15,454 by clicking on the center of the subject 349 00:14:15,451 --> 00:14:16,841 and dragging away from it, 350 00:14:16,845 --> 00:14:20,355 it allows me to create this circle or oval. 351 00:14:22,060 --> 00:14:24,470 And then I can create that vignette by 352 00:14:25,438 --> 00:14:28,208 changing the exposure of the image 353 00:14:28,205 --> 00:14:29,625 and changing the exposure of 354 00:14:29,620 --> 00:14:31,450 everything else that's around. 355 00:14:31,861 --> 00:14:34,431 When I create a radial selection, 356 00:14:34,428 --> 00:14:36,168 the effect is being imparted 357 00:14:36,172 --> 00:14:37,922 on the outside of that selection. 358 00:14:37,924 --> 00:14:39,474 So any adjustments that I make, 359 00:14:39,476 --> 00:14:41,096 such as exposure here, 360 00:14:41,093 --> 00:14:44,973 is being applied to the outside of that selection. 361 00:14:45,276 --> 00:14:47,736 So remember, if you have a subject that's off-center, 362 00:14:47,740 --> 00:14:50,310 using the radial tool is a much more effective way 363 00:14:50,309 --> 00:14:52,139 to impart a vignette, 364 00:14:52,139 --> 00:14:53,949 than using the vignette tool itself. 365 00:14:54,548 --> 00:14:56,348 So, let's look at your homework. 366 00:14:57,100 --> 00:14:59,440 Select a few of your personal images 367 00:14:59,439 --> 00:15:01,629 that you think would look great in black and white, 368 00:15:02,003 --> 00:15:04,163 and experiment with the black and white filters 369 00:15:04,164 --> 00:15:05,734 to create different looks 370 00:15:05,731 --> 00:15:07,151 and density in the image. 371 00:15:08,411 --> 00:15:10,151 In our next lesson, 372 00:15:10,154 --> 00:15:12,844 we'll take a look at applying adjustments 373 00:15:12,843 --> 00:15:14,313 to multiple images, 374 00:15:14,315 --> 00:15:16,865 and using external editors and plug-ins. 27214
