Quicker processing with review and camera calibration
- [Instructor] Hello friends, and welcome to another episode of Photo Tools Weekly. In this weeks episode we will pick up where we left off last time. I want to talk about how we can take advantage of the camera calibration settings that we have here inside of Lightroom Classic CC, inside of the develop module, in order to creatively customize the color that we have in our photographs, and batch process a set of images. These are some photographs that I captured of my daughter here and one of her classmates. These are for a play that she's going to be in. As I click through these you can see there's some photographs that are all raw images. What I want to do is I want to process these so that they have a better starting point, because sometimes when you open up raw files in Lightroom they just don't look like they're full of a lot of life. One of the ways that we can do that is we can go to our camera calibration panel. You want to make sure you're using your most recent process version. This one here. The profiles will vary based on the camera that you use. What you can do is you can click on this pull-down menu and you can try out different options. For example, if you want something that looks a little bit more like a JPEG, you could try a camera standard. It gives a little more color saturation, a little more contrast to the image. You can also try out other looks as well. As you click through these looks, you're just thinking of this sort of as a starting point for the image. One of the ones I know that will work well with this is Camera Light. If I tap the back slash key, you can see the before and after. Let me zoom in even further, so you can see how this looks. As I tap the back slash, can you see how that the colors are a little bit subdued and how this one's a little bit brighter? It's a little bit warmer. It feels a little bit more appropriate for this type of photograph, right? Now that we've done that, what we can do is we can actually say, we can select all. Command A on a Mac, Control A on Windows. Then we can go to this menu, and you just need to choose another profile, then go back and choose the one that you want to select. It will apply that to all of the images. Watch as I click through these image. We're going to see that all of these have this profile applied. For these photographs I think this is kind of a nice way to start. Now that I have that profile or the camera calibration profile applied, what I can then do is a little bit more processing with these images. So, that was step one to work with my color. Step two of course is just click through the images like I'm doing here. You want to make sure that this is looking good with all of the different photographs that we have. So far, so good. Then, next what we can do is we can make sure that we have our sync setting set up right. Turn off auto sync if it's on. Click on Sync, dot, dot, dot. Remember whenever you see dots that means dialogue. This is going to say, "Hey, what do you want to synchronize?" I want to synchronize everything, so check all. Then, next turn on auto sync. Once that's on, we can then go into some of our controls like basic and say, "Hey, you know what? "I'll add a little bit of contrast here, "or maybe bring the whites down, "or boost my shadows up just a little bit." Something like that I think is kind of fun. Maybe just a little bit of clarity and vibrance as well. Once we've done all of that, what we may want to do are other things as well. We could work with the detail panel, and apply a little bit of sharpening. Here I'm just going to go through this quickly, not to really highlight how we use these controls, but to just highlight that we can do anything inside of these panels, and all of these settings will be applied to all of the images in the set. The great thing about this is that if I deselect for a moment and just go through and click on any of these images, they now all look uniform. They're all processed in exactly the same way. That was a pretty quick way to batch process these images so that they look really good. It all started by working with the cameral calibration profile. Then from there we went up to our basic panel, made a few adjustments. Then, to finish these off I also went to the detail panel as well. All right, I hope that you enjoyed these tips here. Hey, thanks for joining me in this week's episode. I hope to see you in another one. Have a wonderful rest of your day. Bye for now.
