Aug 13, 2014 22:52 | #6168 Another portrait edit in Lightroom. To be honest, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to do much with this one, but it turned out much better than I expected. A few new challenges that I hadn't dealt with in Lightroom before.  BBB_Cabaret_20140725_26004.jpg by nathancarter, on Flickr2. First, some global edits in the Basic panel. Didn't move many sliders, just the significant contributors to "pop."  Screen Shot 2014-08-13 at 11.27.42 PM by nathancarter, on Flickr3. A couple dozen clicks with Spot Healing tool, removing blemishes on the face and arm (not shown).  Screen Shot 2014-08-13 at 11.28.33 PM by nathancarter, on Flickr4. Go over all the skin with the Soften Skin preset, then pull it down so that there's still texture. The exact amount varies by person, and by the amount of Clarity I already used in the global edit in the Basic panel.  Screen Shot 2014-08-13 at 11.29.47 PM by nathancarter, on Flickr5. Even out the color and tone of the skin on the arm, to match the face. Her face was SO different than the arm, I couldn't leave it alone. (image redacted 'cause I hit my 8-image limit, it's in my Flickr stream if you're really curious) 6. Clean up and lighten the dark circles under the eyes, and a few more dark areas. Give a little more definition to the nose. Burn+soften, essentially.  Screen Shot 2014-08-13 at 11.30.59 PM by nathancarter, on Flickr7. Try to touch up all the individual veins in the eyes. Photoshop would have made much quicker work of this, but I'm stubborn.  Screen Shot 2014-08-13 at 11.31.11 PM by nathancarter, on Flickr8. More cleanup in the whites of the eyes.  Screen Shot 2014-08-13 at 11.31.20 PM by nathancarter, on Flickr9. Final image.  BBB_Cabaret_20140725_26004.jpg by nathancarter, on Flickrhttp://www.avidchick.com

More info | Aug 22, 2014 09:17 | #6174 OK this is an older shot that I just revisited. A documentary (as opposed to artistic) architectural shot....  Before  Processing Global adjustments... -24 on exposure, +14 whites -31 blacks, +20 clarity +20 vibrancy, -5 saturation. -22 saturation on the green in the HSL panel, -29 post crop vignette, enabled lens profile correction, remove chom aber and used the Straighten tool on Auto. Local adjustments   local adjustment 6 was just to reduce highlights on the sign to make it less noticeable and 7 was a boost in exposure to brighten the text with a darkening of shadows to keep the sign black. Lastly I used multiple spot removals to clone clouds from the left of the image over to the empty sky on the right of the image as it was rather bland. Dan Marchant

Aug 22, 2014 11:04 | #6175 Man, I gotta get converted to LR5 for the straighten tool. I wonder how well it would work for some of the oddball things I've done with the 14mm Rokinon. http://www.avidchick.com

More info | Aug 22, 2014 12:05 | #6176 The straighten tool isn't perfect. It can't cope with really complex scenes with lots of different angles but for interiors and buildings it is pretty good, and there are a set of manual adjustment sliders available too. The one thing to remember is that you need to frame the subject quite loosely as using the straighten tool will result in the loss of some of the edge areas of the image. It isn't as good as a TS Lens but then it isn't as expensive either. Dan Marchant

I am new to Light Room. Here is my 1st attempt to make something out of not so great lighting. Cloudy outdoor light plus fluorescent hospital lights. Not to mention a pale mother who just had a C section 2 days prior   5D MKII | 60D | 35 2.0 IS | 50 1.4 | 85 1.8 | 100L | 24-105L | 70-300L | 580EXII

This one I tried to get rid of her glossy skin around her eyes. She is sporting the vitamin solution they put on newborn eyes. I did various other fixes to make it more appealing. Again horrible hospital lighting. Taken with EOS M 22mm one handed   5D MKII | 60D | 35 2.0 IS | 50 1.4 | 85 1.8 | 100L | 24-105L | 70-300L | 580EXII
