Pozdrav vsem clanom SLO-FOTO.NET!
Pripet je moj prvi in upam da ne zadnji tutorial digitalne obdelave fotografij s poudarkom na 'compositing' oz. kombiniranja raznih fotografij in napredno barvno korekcijo. Vsaj osnovno znanje Photoshop-a bo potrebno drugace bo ta tutorial verjetno bolj tezko razvozlati.
Tutorial #01 sem oblikoval v shematicni, poenostavljeni metodi. Zacne se z before/after primerjavo. Vsi najpomembnejsi koraki so opisani z graficnimi ikonami in obrazlozitvijo.
Zaenkrat imam tutorial samo v Anglescini, v bodocnosti jih bom pa delal v vec kot enem jeziku. Planiram delati tudi video tutorial in mogoce celo knjigo. Bom videl kako bo slo.
Upam da vam bo vsec. Feedback je zazeljen. Lep pozdrav vsem, Beno
STEP 1:
Software: Lightroom and Photomatix or Oloneo
RAW frames are imported into Lightroom. Basic pre-processing such as lens distortion, vignette removal, white balance tuning and minimal sharpening is applied.
16-bit TIFF files are exported to Photomatix or Oloneo for HDR processing and tonemapping.
HDR file is created and exported to Photoshop for compositing stage.
STEP 2:
Software: Photoshop
HDR image is imported into Photoshop.
Opacity mask is extracted from the image with Photoshop’s Magic Wand tool and refined further until all pixels of the sky in the background are selected.
Image of the Milky Way is imported and placed in the background using the Opacity Mask as a transparency layer. Next step, selective colour balancing.
STEP 3:
Software: Photoshop
Using the Opacity Mask, colour correction is applied to the background only. Inverted Opacity Mask is used to colour correct the boat.
Both background and foreground are equalized in terms of luminance and colour temperature. Last step, Primary Colour Correction and Visual Effects.
STEP 4:
Software: Photoshop and NIK Software plugins such as Colour Efex Pro, Viveza and Output Sharpener.
Global Colour Correction is applied on a copy-merged Photoshop layer. Tones are adjusted for a cooler, moodier appearance. Viveza is used to perform carefully controlled tonal adjustments on the boat.
Color Efex Pro is used to finish the image with a otherworldly look with an added haze, exposure blooming and cinematic contrast.
