Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:05,566
The first step in our work on the photo will be to address its brightness,
2
00:00:05,566 --> 00:00:11,800
contrast and saturation using the exposure panel in Capture one.
3
00:00:11,866 --> 00:00:16,900
I like to work on a copy of the photos to easily compare it with the original
4
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:22,133
and in capture one you can clone a variant by right clicking
5
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,400
and that's what we will be working on.
6
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:27,766
So looking at this photo,
7
00:00:27,766 --> 00:00:30,766
it seems slightly too dark to me.
8
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:34,100
I want it to be more fresh, bright and vibrant.
9
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:37,700
So we will tackle that first.
10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,466
We can always check what the program thinks about the exposure of the photo
11
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:45,933
by clicking on this magical wand here
12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,866
which will set the exposure values.
13
00:00:48,866 --> 00:00:51,866
The program considers appropriate.
14
00:00:52,033 --> 00:00:53,866
And let's see how it looks.
15
00:00:53,866 --> 00:00:56,666 In my opinion, it's overexposed.
16
00:00:56,666 --> 00:00:59,066
The photo has become too bright, overexposed,
17
00:00:59,066 --> 00:01:04,466
so we'll decrease the exposure visually until we are satisfied.
18
00:01:04,533 --> 00:01:06,100
I think around
19
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:09,700
0.6 is great in this case
20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,333
and no highlights are blown out
21
00:01:12,333 --> 00:01:14,966
and the shadows have opened up a bit,
22
00:01:14,966 --> 00:01:19,000
making the entire photo more vibrant.
23
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:22,733
At this stage I also often add a slight contrast,
24
00:01:22,733 --> 00:01:25,800
but it's important to make subtle changes.
25
00:01:26,033 --> 00:01:30,066
Going into high contrast ranges can ruin the photo,
26
00:01:30,133 --> 00:01:33,400
blowing out the highlights and making the shadows too dark.
27
00:01:33,466 --> 00:01:35,366
We don't want that.
28
00:01:35,366 --> 00:01:38,833
We want the photo to have a neutral base.
29
00:01:38,933 --> 00:01:41,933
So I would make it around eight or nine.
30
00:01:41,966 --> 00:01:46,200
It gives the photo a bit more 3D look
31
00:01:46,266 --> 00:01:48,900
without blowing out anything
32
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:52,333
or drowning anything in black.
33
00:01:52,433 --> 00:01:57,400
In capture one, we can always check the state before our edits.
34
00:01:57,466 --> 00:01:59,500
There's a Nikon for that.
35
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:02,233
By holding the alt key
36
00:02:02,233 --> 00:02:04,166
you will see the keys I press displayed.
37
00:02:04,166 --> 00:02:06,200
In the bottom left corner.
38
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,766
We click that icon and see the original state.
39
00:02:09,966 --> 00:02:12,666
It was dark and now it's a bit brighter.
40
00:02:12,666 --> 00:02:16,000
Everything has opened up a bit.
41
00:02:16,066 --> 00:02:19,633
I don't usually touch the brightness slider.
42
00:02:19,733 --> 00:02:24,400
It's just a global adjustment for lightning or darkening the photo
43
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,500
so we can reset it with a double click.
44
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,000
In portraits where there is a lot of skin.
45
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,766
It's often worth reducing the saturation slightly.
46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,133
The skin starts to look more elegant and not so overly colorful.
47
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,200
Again, subtle adjustments are enough.
48
00:02:43,466 --> 00:02:46,900
I think around minus six is great.
49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,700
Let's check her before and after.
50
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:53,600
The original was a bit hazy and dark and now it's more open.
51
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:57,300
But nothing is overexposed.
52
00:02:57,366 --> 00:02:58,366
It's a good base.
53
00:02:58,366 --> 00:03:01,666
So we will finish working with this panel at this stage.
