So I grabbed the Adjustment Brush, with negative Exposure, and painted over them to lessen their impact.Īs you’ve probably seen during the month a few times, we can add Clarity on top of Clarity by brushing Clarity on the photo (even though we’ve already added it above in the Basic panel). Those pillars near the edges of the photo on the top left/right looked pretty bright to me. It’s one of those things that I notice, but I don’t think some one who never saw this photo before would see it. Lightroom did okay, there, but it’s definitely not perfect. I also used a small brush on the chord between the box and podium. I also used a very low Feather setting so that the edges don’t get blurred. I set it to Clone mode (because I want to precisely fix it with the exact area next to it) and painted over the box. This time around I used the Spot Removal tool.

Originally, when I first processed this photo, I used the Clone Stamp tool in Photoshop. There looks to be some little electrial boxes on the floor to the left and right of the red rug. No need for masking since, like I said, we’ve got mega-details in this photo and there’s no reason to hide the sharpening from any areas. Changed the Radius to 1.3 (pretty much right around where I leave it for every photo) and added some Detail as well. If there’s any photo that can handle a TON of sharpening it’s this one. However, I did go to the Straighten tool and dragged along the top of the step (along the bottom of the photo) to straighten the tilted aspect of the photo. So I’m not even going to bother trying to fix it. So the rest of the world, including me, doesn’t care about straight lines.
#HDR IN LIGHTROOM 5 MANUAL#
So I un-did that change and tried the Vertical slider under the Manual tab. Then I tried the Auto Upright button and this is what I got. First I clicked the Enable Profile Corrections checkbox. One way to help would be the Lens Correction panel. If I were an architectural photographer, then I’d probably need to fix this. Okay, this is a wide angle photo with lots of vertical lines in it. Yeah, I know it looks pretty punchy in color but I like it.

I also added a good amount of Vibrance to give the appearance that the golden areas on the ceiling were glowing. I also set the Whites/Blacks by holding down the Option/Alt key.įinally, I added 100% Clarity to give the details more texture and help achieve the HDR feel. So I pulled back on Highlights as far as it’ll go and opened the Shadows as far as they’ll go. The Auto button didn’t touch the Highlights and Shadows though, and that’s what’ll really give this photo the HDR look. I did cool the photo just a bit by moving the Temp slider to the left a tiny bit. It really make the overall exposure look good. The Auto button did a good job here as a start.
#HDR IN LIGHTROOM 5 SERIES#
Anyway, the photo is actually part of an HDR series I did, but I decided to see what I could do here with just one exposure. I’ll warn you now though, some of the comments get pretty crazy. I wrote about it at the time because it has an interesting back story – here’s the link if you want to read. Patricks Cathedral and took the photo below. Okay, here goes:Ī few years ago I was in St. If you’re just coming in to reading this and haven’t read the original post where I wrote why I’m doing this, then make sure you check that out too. Anyway, welcome to Day 15 in my self-project-ish, month-long postings of images I’m only using Lightroom to edit. I’m on my way up north to teach my Lightroom 5 Seminar tomorrow.
