the most importannt part of Photo Editing is the process of Color Correction
- you make the picture look more like it did IRL… because through the camera capturing and the Monitor displaying images look a lot different than the scene did IRL
- you can only with DSLR Camera = Digital Single-Lens Reflex Cameras and not JPEG = Joint Photographic Experts Groups you get from your Smartphone cameras… although i think high end phones allow you to export RAW photo files
- “you don’t realize, how cameras make what they capture… so not what you see in real live”
-
you also use: Vignette, Layer (photo editing)s, Gradients
-
you may select parts of an image using some selection tools … and then do Color Correction and other editing on those areas
- or use only cutouts for Youtube Thumbnais
-
the biggest problem: “knowing what slider to put where”… this is just a big Experiance thing … you just need to edit lots and lots and lots of photos…
list of concepts
-
Dynamic Range … how long is the x-achse of a Color Historgram
- cameras may have a large Dynamic Range… but the Monitor used to show the image certainly DOES NOT…
-
Color Grading … trying to get to a specific mood, emotion, style, by doing color editing
