Image settings - Enscape Tutorial

- [Instructor] The next tab over in Enscape Settings is called Image. Then underneath Image, we can see that we have a variety of different options available to us. One includes Auto Contrast. If you clear out of Contrast, you may notice that everything gets slightly grayer. Usually I almost always have Auto Contrast on because it does a very good job of setting the contrast there inside of your Enscape view. There's also options here for Saturation. You'll notice that as I move it from side to side, it either gets rid of color by going down to 0% or it adds color by coming over to 200%. By default, it's set at 100%. There's also an option here for Color Temperature. Right now it's set at 6,600. If I move it over in this direction, notice how we start to get more yellows. As I move it over a little bit closer into this direction, we actually start to get more blues. In reality, we're probably getting some more reds as well as we're coming over in this direction and we're washing it out as it comes over to this side. Color temperature works well if you're having a winter scene and you want it to look a little bit colder, a little bit more bleaker. If you go back over to the color temperature over on this side, if you want it to look bright, almost hot in the scene, you may add little bit of color temperature to it so that the scene has that kind of look that accomplishes what you're looking for. In this case, I'll move it over to 4,000 and I will adjust that later. There's this option here called Bloom. If I adjust the bloom, notice how things start to just get blurrier or sharper. There's ambient brightness. This is for any of the ambient light that's inside of this space and usually I just leave the ambient brightness alone but if you have, particularly if you're doing interior scenes, I may work with the ambient brightness just to see how things like the light shining off of materials, those sorts of things end up looking. The ambient light would be any of the light that's basically bouncing off of these objects and it displays how it affects the scene. There's an option there for a lens flare. I virtually never ever use lens flare and you can barely see a difference there with the lens flare. Do you want to have a bit of glare coming off of your camera lens or that sort of effect and lens flare can kind of create that. You can see with vignette, so you want to have darkness going all the way around your scene or do you want to have no vignette at all around the outside of your scene? And then there's this chromatic aberration. If I move it from side to side, you notice that there's not much of a difference here. I haven't really found that this settings makes that much of a difference, so I have a tendency to leave it alone. One of the things that I have done though as I've been moving along is I've just been moving these bars around and I have not been really bothering to keep them where I want them to be at. So what can I do? Well, I can always come down here to this reset this tab and it'll ask, are you sure that you want to reset all the settings here on the Image tab? If I say Yes, it'll then move everything back to the way that it was before. Also, you'll notice here where we have the auto contrast, if I clear it out, we go from not having highlights and shadows to having it automatically control the highlights and shadows so that's really what the auto contrast button is going to allow us to do is control those highlights, those shadows so that you can get the view the exact way that you want it to look but I still have a tendency to just leave auto contrast on and let Enscape figure out those settings for me.
