Before/After - Dandelion in a Bubble

May 22, 2014 in Before/After Images, Photography, Lightroom

In this tutorial I’ll show you my post processing workflow for this dandelion in a bubble image. I used Adobe Lightroom and Perfect Effects 8 for the post processing of this image. In my opinion Perfect Effects is a great tool to use in combination with Lightroom.

The image was taken with my Canon 60D using the 18-135 f3.5-5.6 IS lens at 120mm. Camera settings in manual mode were, 1/250 sec at f8.0, ISO 400. It was a cloudy overcast morning which created a nice diffuse light.

Step 1

Bring the image into Adobe Lightroom.

Step 2

Make some global adjustments in Lightroom. Here I adjusted the exposure, highlights, shadows, whites and blacks. I did not modify the contrast because I knew I wanted to use the dynamic contrast filter in Perfect Effects. With these adjustments complete, I brought the image over into Perfect Effects by going to File – Plug-in Extras – Perfect Effects 8.

Step 3

Once the image is in Perfect Effects I started adding Filter Layers. First, I added a Dynamic Contrast - Natural layer. Under the Filter Options and Detail, I adjusted the settings as follows: Small = 30, Medium = 20, Large = 0.

Step 4

Add a new layer to the Filter Stack. Choose Color Enhancer – Green Enhancer. Using the mask tool, place a mask on top of the yellow dandelion so the effect is not applied to the flower. The green is now a little to much, so reduce the layer opacity to 50%.

Step 5

Add a new layer to the Filter Stack. Choose Sunshine – Glow. Reduce the layer opacity to 20%. Copy the layer mask from the previous ‘Color Enhancer’ layer by using Ctrl + click to drag the mask to the current layer.

Step 6

Add a new layer to the Filter Stack. Choose Sharpening – Amazing Detail Finder. Using the masking bush, mask out the background and foreground of the image. To see where you are masking, press Ctrl + M. Since these areas are out of focus to begin with, they do not need to be sharpened.

Step 7

Add a new layer to the Filter Stack. Choose Vignette – Big Softy. Reduce the layer opacity to 65%.

Step 8

Click Apply to apply the filters and bring the image back into Lightroom.

Lightroom 5 - Creating Metadata Presets

May 09, 2014 in Lightroom

Metadata Presets

Setting up a metadata preset in Adobe Lightroom 5 is not only a timesaver, but it allows you to easily apply additional metadata information to any image file. What is metadata? Metadata is all of the information associated with your photograph. For example, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, location, capture date/time and more. Creating a preset is easy and only takes a few steps.

In the Library Module, select an image. Look on the right hand side of the screen for a tab titled ‘Metadata’. Expand the tab. Here you see all of the information that is associated with your images. Take a look through all of the fields and fill out the ones that you would like to apply to your images. Generally, the metadata information that I add includes my name, address, email, website and copyright information. Once you have your information filled out you are ready to save it as a preset.

Go to the top of the Edit Metadata Presets dialog box you’ll see the word ‘Preset’. Click the pulldown menu and select ‘save current settings as new preset…’. Name the preset and click ok.

Now your metadata preset is all set up and ready to be used. You can apply the preset on your images as you import them into Lightroom or to images that are already in your Lightroom library.

Lightroom 5 - Creating Import Presets

May 08, 2014 in Lightroom

Looking to speed up your Lightroom workflow? Creating import presets is going to help you do that. Import presets allow you to make all of the choices about how to import your images and where to store them and then save those settings as a preset. Each time you import photos simply select your preset and all of your settings are applied automatically! It’s a great time saver and prevents you from having to make all of the same choices and selections each time you import photos. If you have any questions about setting up import presets in Adobe Lightroom, leave me a comment.

Thanks for watching!
