Thanks for taking the time to make this thread. How do you like to set up your tone curve? Do you typically stick with an S bend? How do you decide where to set your points? I usually stick to slider adjustments, but the way you describe the tone curve’s function, I think it’s something I’d like to start working with.

Aw, man! It sounds like you really know what you’re doing! Wish you’d made the op instead of HH...

I’ve started editing color negatives in LR, and hooooly poo poo is it ever challenging. I’ve had decent luck with a few indoor shots, but pictures taken outdoors, especially with lots of snow, turn out all kinds of hosed up.  Hoping I get a better eye for evaluating beforehand which shooting scenarios are going to be difficult to edit and learn to adjust composition/settings accordingly.

Yeah, that's pretty cool. I've generally stayed away from split toning because I have no idea what I'm doing with it (more so than the rest of LR even!), but this looks pretty straightforward.

Having some trouble editing this picture to my liking. Some of the colors are downright atomic, and I'd like to tone things down a bit, but simple approaches like desaturation/lowered vibrance make things start to look blotchy. The image was shot in pretty strong mid-morning light--am I kind of just stuck with what I have?

That confirmation helps—thanks. The output you’re seeing here is using the LR portrait profile, and I’ll likely play around with that tack some more. As I continue to try and improve as a photographer, one thing I’m aware of is that in the past I’ve over relied on things like saturated colors because I thought they might help make my images more interesting. I’m trying to discard that particular (flawed) crutch, but I also want to make sure I don’t overcompensate... President Beep fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Jun 30, 2019 |

That’s definitely been monkeyed with in post, I’d say a fair bit. I’ve often got to mess around with my white balance with shots from my A72—moreso than when I had a canon DSLR—but that image has been heavily desaturated or something.

IME that’s pretty much what it amounts to—a bit of extra work in post to get things to my liking. Not a big deal though. I pretty much exclusively shoot in RAW, so I can’t really speak to Sony’s JPEG rendering.

Blackhawk posted:Adam Gibbs has some videos of his editing of landscapes, it's not generally doing anything extreme because he likes a more natural style, but I've learnt a bit from it. Specifically I'm trying to use more local adjustments (dodging and burning for example) in a targeted way rather than global adjustments. A consequence of this technique is that you have to actually have an idea of what you want out of the image before you start, because the adjustments are usually pretty targeted you have to have a reason to do them, not just dragging sliders up and down until it looks good. That actually sounds pretty useful. I shamefully usually start up by open palm slamming the "Auto" global adjustment button and then add my own tweaks from there.
