I too decided to place my iPad Pro 12.9 at the center of my new workflow (not on the edges. But now that I use these sliders, there is no going back.As a long time LR user (perpetual 6), I switched to LR/LRC a month ago. I realised later that there was a way to bring back the fill light slider. I realized that these sliders which replaced the fill light slider gave a lot more control on my processing. Only when I started using these sliders I realised how heavy handed the fill light slider was. Just shoot in RAW and focus on these six sliders alone and you will have an excellent HDR like image in less than five minutes without the necessity of a tripod, or bracket images, or any other complicated HDR plugins.
Move the vibrance slider to the right to increase it. Vibrance easily pops up the colours in your images unlike saturation. While I increase the clarity by moving the slider to the right in landscape shots, I also tend to decrease it by moving it to the left in my portrait shots to add softness. Most photographers compare its effects to be similar to adding sharpness but it’s completely different. Moving these sliders to their extremes will pretty much nullify the effect of highlights and shadows sliders. So to keep black objects black and white objects white, we have the black and white sliders. For example, the hair of the subject in your image are black, the shadows slider will also increase their brightness when moved to right. However, they also tend to affect those objects that are naturally black or white in nature. Highlights and shadows affect the overall bright and dark areas of an image respectively. In HDR, moving the highlights slider to the left helps in bringing out the details of a cloudy sky but like I said before, I tend to do it all the time. Instead of the highlights slider, I tend to bring it all the way to the extreme left in most of my images (HDR or not) because it’s easy to lose most details in the over exposed bright spots (not the totally blown out white spots, they are unrecoverable). This one, however, affects the bright spots alone in the image. This has the same beauty like the shadows slider. Use this to brighten up the shadow and other dark areas. When you move the shadows slider to the right, it will only increase the brightness of the dark areas leaving the other mid and high tones unaffected. Lightroom has a very intelligent algorithm. Import your RAW file by navigating and selecting it through the Lightroom library. This tutorial only works if you have shot in RAW. If you have shot your image in JPEG, you can stop reading right here.
#ADOBE LIGHTROOM 6 HDR HOW TO#
Here’s a tutorial on how to do single image HDR using Lightroom and how to use the power of raw processing. Adobe Lightroom is a very powerful tool when it comes to RAW editing and its algorithm has the power to bring in the HDR effect on to a single image.
Yes, it would be and we will do it using Lightroom. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could create the magic of HDR in once single image? Not all cameras have bracket mode and so, you will have to keep changing the exposure setting manually which is tedious and you might end up moving the camera from its position if you are using a tripod and pretty much a different picture every time or if you are trying to shoot hand-held. So you will have problem while aligning the bracket images thus resulting in ghosts or blurriness due to contour overlapping. HDR requires that you shoot with a tripod and you cannot carry one with you all the time. It’s where you shoot exposure bracket images, mix them, get the best exposed bits of every image and smash them together in one image to get a perfectly exposed HDR shot. That’s where the process of HDR photography comes in.
However you will never be able to get all of them right in one singe image (which is also the answer to the question “why can’t my camera shoot exactly what I see). While looking at a nice landscape, you are able to set the exposure just enough to get either the clouds, the mountains or the sun at one shot at a time. However, the problem is our DSLRs are not smart enough to do that.Ĭameras (not talking about the smartphones, that’s for newbies) can set exposure to one dynamic range at a time. It’s how we see things in real time with our eyes. The high dynamic range is a beautiful thing.
