I am a big fans of Adobe Lightroom, really big big fans as almost entire of my photo are develop using Lightroom and it is indeed really a great product. There are few advantages that you can find using Lightroom when you are editing your picture but today topic I would not discuss about that, or rather today I wanna share how to make restive effect popping out from your picture.
This is the picture that I too from Tioman during my dive trip, I personally love this one as it is really bring memory back and also the environment, beach at behind really bring out the feeling of relax. so I want to bring more details and use restive effect to this picture to bring out details as well as sharpness. Now the question is how do I do this?
I will divide this tutorial into two areas, one is tone, another one is presence. First lets go to tone area. Lets talk about Tone.
Increase exposure for a little, as it will bring more light, then put recover to 60, fill light to the max, then get black to 73. So my picture will be looks like more colorful and you will notice the different significantly by doing this.
Next we go to presence. put clarity and vibrance to max +100 to really make the color sharp, then decrease saturation to -86 so each color blend really well. This saturation is based on preference but I like each color blend nicely and the sharpness we still can found.
This picture show the different between before and after post processing. As you can see, it does bring restive effect from my picture to be more sharp as well as the ocean feeling. You can use this tutorial to bring more significant color from your picture, and also you can copy and paste into your website, but just link back to this page and I will be very happy.
