Adam, are you SURE that the parametric curve does not affect saturation? I've just done a little test here applying a basic S-Curve with the parametric curve and point curve, and to my eyes it looks pretty much the same. Indeed I, and others, have been whining to Adobe about Lr not having a Luma curve for years. And recently, the point curve tool, but not the parametric curve, has gained a saturation adjustment slider, which makes it almost a "variable luma" curve. Without wanting to say too much, I may just have had a direct hand in prompting this development, and I'm pretty sure the person I prompted would have told me if the parametric curve does not affect saturation.
Then again I was astonished to discover just now that you can have a parametric curve AND a point curve at the same time. I always assumed they were just two UIs on the same adjustment....
I was totally off on that one. My apologies. Both methods will add saturation as you add contrast
For backgrounds I also like to reduce texture by a large amount and/or apply the new lens blur and reduce saturation when necessary. Managing color temperature can do a lot, too, as you mentioned. Cheers.
Hi Adam, An excellent presentation and always very informative! I’m curious about the gray background you selected. Do you think it is a good color to use for processing/editing (vs white or black)? Thanks! Cindy
Absolutely, I find grey works great. For printing I would preview photos on a white background
Great demonstration Adam, I like how your editing is subtle yet highly effective, so many overdo it!
Interesting, thank you!
Great tips for adding contrast and how to use it to add depth to our photograph rather than just the global blast!
Very useful, Adam. Thank you. (Although I don’t use Lightroom, most of the adjustments you mention are available in the Photoshop Elements software I use.)
Adam, I have a very old photograph that I like but it has a lens flare streak going down thru the middle. If I could use the brush to ‘localize’ that area with more contrast, would that work?
Absolutely
@@QuietLightPhoto wow, thank you Adam! I thought you might think that was crazy.
This was really informative on using contrast and localized adjustments to add depth to photos. The demo on masking out the foreground and background to make targeted warm/cool and high/low contrast adjustments clearly showed how it pulls the scene forward and back. Learned some useful techniques! Thank you!
Adam, An excellent video on how to take a "boring" (no offense) file and turning it into a presentable image.
Thank you Adam , short and sweet but as always very informative
Very welcome
Thank you for this very useful instruction, Adam.
Really interesting, happy to see things I can do in LR
Great to hear!
What was great about this Adam is how you showed us the importance of thinking through what are intent is with an image before we start moving the sliders. I think I often get in a hurry as I begin to edit an image and fail to properly examine the file and think through my intent. I also like how you showed us the various ways to create contrast in an image.
Thanks Adam, very helpful for me.
Really enjoyed this video. Great explanation of the why and how to.
These tips are great - thank you Adam!
My pleasure!
super useful discussion and techniques, thanks!
I always got the time to watch your videos Adam.
Loved your tutorial. Thanks.
Wolfgang
Glad to hear it!
Thanks Adam…useful advice. Didn’t know about the double lines on curves to avoid colour saturation increase!
You bet!
Thanks Adam. A few tips I was not aware of.
A very helpful video Adam!
Good morning Adam! Welcome home 🙂
Good video
