hey everyone this is Mason from filter
0:06
grade fall is a very aesthetic time of
0:09
year and fall photography is very
0:10
popular warm orange tones the name of
0:13
the game but there are a lot more subtle
0:14
changes you can make to achieve a good
0:16
fall look today we're going to be
0:18
editing some images that weren't taken
0:20
in the fall in order to show just how
0:21
easy and versatile Lightroom can be when
0:23
you have a specific look in mind and
0:25
spoiler alert we're not just putting an
0:27
orange filter on it and calling it good
0:28
so here we have this image it's very
0:31
green it's definitely not the middle of
0:33
the fall there's some yellowing in the
0:35
leaves so maybe it's becoming fall but
0:36
it's certainly not the fall look that
0:38
we're looking for it's as far too lush
0:40
so we're gonna start in the light
0:41
settings we're gonna bump up the
0:43
contrast we're going to lower the
0:46
highlights all the way and really see
0:48
the detail come out in the waterfall
0:50
there we're going to raise our shadows a
0:52
little bit and then we're going to lower
0:55
the whites and raise the blacks a little
0:57
bit it's gonna just make some subtle
0:59
changes we're going to go into our
1:02
curves we're gonna make three points so
1:04
that we can adjust our highlights
1:06
mid-tones and shadows what we're gonna
1:08
do is we're gonna raise highlights
1:10
we're going to reduce shadows by a
1:14
little bit we're gonna raise our
1:16
mid-tones just slightly and then we're
1:18
gonna take our blacks and push them a
1:20
little more into the gray or just a done
1:23
so now we're getting a bit of a faded
1:26
look here it's already looking good what
1:29
is really going to make an impact is
1:31
when we go into color and now we're not
1:32
changing the color temperature that
1:35
would make it look like this which is
1:36
not what we want or instead of going to
1:38
go to the color mix and what really
1:41
matters is this yellow and green so
1:44
we're actually gonna change the hue of
1:46
yellow so that it's orange and we're
1:49
going to change the hue of green so
1:51
there's also a bit more that way and
1:52
we're going to reduce the green
1:54
saturation increase the yellow
1:56
saturation increase the orange
1:59
saturation push our Reds into oranges
2:02
and that's looking pretty dang good
2:06
the greens are super subdued and we hear
2:10
getting a lot of orange tones and their
2:11
little pops of color so let's go ahead
2:13
and increase our saturation a little bit
2:16
and we don't want vibrant some of the
2:18
next water to blue we're actually in
2:20
turn the vibrance a little bit down the
2:22
saturation going up is really gonna make
2:24
those orange tones come out and then we
2:26
might benefit from a slight temperature
2:29
increase but now look at that it's
2:33
suddenly a fall picture this was the
2:35
before and here's the after big change
2:40
now let's try a different picture so
2:44
here's another picture where it's
2:45
definitely not fall mostly I've grass
2:47
here what we're going to achieve here is
2:49
a bit of a dead grass look so if we go
2:53
to our lighting we can bring up the
2:55
contrast bring down the highlights which
2:59
in this case pretty much just brings out
3:01
the detail the sky going to increase the
3:04
shadows a little bit and then lower the
3:07
row bites raise the blacks go into our
3:10
curves create our three points and I
3:13
continue to raise the highlights raise
3:17
reduce shadows and then raise up the
3:26
and once again the magic happens in the
3:28
color mix let's go ahead and push our
3:30
yellows into oranges and our greens and
3:36
yellows it's a little bit too orange
3:49
now let's go ahead and increase vibrance
3:51
or decrease vibrance rather and then
3:54
increase saturation and give it a slight
3:57
warm tone and there we go
4:01
seconds later we have something looks
4:03
much more fall-like than this if you
4:07
wanted to you could probably decrease
4:11
the contrast a bit that looks pretty
4:15
good now let's do one last example this
4:19
one is in the middle of the forest looks
4:21
like it could be a round fall time but
4:24
there's no there's no orange sorta do
4:26
the same thing where we increase
4:27
contrast decrease highlights get some of
4:30
the detail back from that fog increase
4:34
our shadows lower the whites raise the
4:37
blacks really get in that contrast again
4:42
make the same adjustments with our
4:43
curves and then go into our color mix
4:55
maker greens yellow and our yellows
4:57
orange and this one's a little bit more
5:02
subtle but I had a little temperature
5:05
increase nothing too crazy and look what
5:12
we've got so of course you can go really
5:16
overboard you can get some really orange
5:18
looks make your entire thing orange but
5:21
it's really all about taking the trees
5:23
and taking all the green out like I said
5:28
earlier orange is the name of the game
5:29
I'm gonna make it feel warm and cozy and
5:32
that is definitely what what this does
5:35
I'm even going back to this first
5:37
picture massive difference we've taken
5:41
out those greens and replace them with
5:42
some nice fall colors if you wanted to
5:46
do anything additional you can go into
5:48
some effects even yet never hurts
5:51
feather that brings to focus in a little
5:53
bit more another thing we can do is
5:59
adjust the clarity then I'll give it a
6:04
little bit of extra extra sharpness of
6:08
course don't go too far but in something
6:10
like this it looks pretty good and
6:14
