SECRET Tone Sliders in ACR & Lightroom

April 9, 2025 10:01 am

Vote for our shots: https://f64elite.com/make-great-shots-votes/

This tutorial explores three sliders in Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom—Dehaze, Texture, and Clarity—that can sometimes hurt your photos if overused. I'll demonstrate why these sliders can cause problems when applied globally and offer several alternative techniques for achieving better results. You'll see how to use local adjustments in Adobe Camera Raw and advanced methods in Photoshop to fine-tune these effects for more control and a cleaner look.

The goal is to help you avoid overly processed images and instead create balanced, professional edits. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, you’ll gain practical tips to enhance your workflow and take your photo editing to the next level.

Have you ever wondered what the perfect white balance is?
Do you trust that your camera can ACTUALLY give it to you?

The truth is there is no perfect White Balance and no matter how hard your camera tries, it can't give it to you. That's because our cameras don't perceive color like our eyes do. It's just not capable of true color accuracy.

Using several examples, I'll prove my case. But don't get angry with your camera, it's really not it's fault. Learn color, and you'll thank me later ;)

🎨 Editing a Photo Like a Painter! • Full Workflow Replay

August 23, 2024 9:06 am

Have you ever taken your ISO to the limit?
Or is there only a specific limit you are comfortable with?

I'd say I was the latter before this experiment. I wasn't comfortable taking my ISO to extreme amounts due to fear of losing data and detail in the capture and noise reduction process. Regardless of what any camera review, manufacturer, etc told me, there is no way I was going above ISO 2000-3200.

Here we are in 2024, when "that's how I've always done it" really needs to get kicked to the curb. There have been incredible advancements in camera sensors and post-production software regarding noise handling and noise reduction. So, I decided to put it all to the test despite my silly fears. Setting my camera to ISO 102,000 seemed like a very bad idea. There I go with that fear again—let it go!

Topics Discussed:
00:00 Introduction
00:11 AI Clarification
00:46 Macro Opportunity
01:57 How I shoot Macro
03:11 ISO Experiment Discussed
04:47 How to Use AI Noise Reduction
06:24 Why is AI Denoise Grey & Unusable
08:44 AI Denoise + Manual NR
12:22 How far can you go?

The Artificial Elephant in the Room

Link to the Visionary Panel: https://f64elite.com/visionary-panel/<br /><br />For over ten years, I’ve poured my heart and soul into mastering Photoshop workflows, constantly discovering new techniques to elevate my craft. Since October 2022, I’ve been crafting an entirely new workflow that has been thrilling, challenging, and at times, exhausting—but utterly necessary.<br /><br />I believe that the entire photo education industry, myself included, has been approaching photo post-production all wrong. While learning techniques is important, we’ve become so obsessed with collecting them that we’ve lost sight of our true purpose: creating connections and memorable experiences for our viewers.<br /><br />This new workflow shifts the focus back where it belongs—on the viewer. It emphasizes your vision and highlights the most critical elements in a photo to captivate and engage your audience from start to finish.<br /><br />You may have noticed a little "V" in my Plugin toolbar over the past 12 months. Now, I’m excited to finally reveal what it’s all about. Don’t miss this opportunity to transform the way you approach photo editing and storytelling.

Having trouble editing your Solar Eclipse shots?<br />Corona detail lost?<br /><br /><br />In this video, I dive deep into the post-processing techniques I used for my 2024 solar eclipse photographs taken in Story, Arkansas. I focus on two often overlooked tools in Adobe Camera Raw that proved crucial for enhancing the fine details of the solar corona in my images. Here’s what you can expect to learn:<br /><br />1. Highlight Management: I'll show you how to finely balance the highlights to prevent overexposure while maintaining the intricate details of the solar corona.<br /><br />2. Innovative Use of Color Grading: Interestingly, I use color grading tools not for adding colors but for adjusting the luminance of shadows, midtones, and highlights. This method allows for precise control over the tonal balance, which significantly enhances the visibility and detail of the eclipse without introducing unwanted color shifts.<br /><br />3. Texture and Clarity Adjustments: I'll demonstrate how to use texture and clarity sliders judiciously to reveal more details in the corona without making the image look unnatural or overly processed.<br /><br />4. Blending and Balancing Tones: I discuss how to effectively blend and balance these adjustments to ensure smooth transitions between different tonal areas and maintain a realistic contrast throughout the image.<br /><br />Try these unorthodox tools in Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom to bring out all that gorgeous coronal detail!<br /><br />Chapters:<br />00:00 Introduction<br />01:17 Tool #1 - Color grading<br />05:11 Tool #2 - Texture / Clarity<br />07:29 Adding Color (Optional<br />09:06 Workflow & Color Grading<br /><br />____________________________________________<br />Do you like the videos I make on YouTube? <br />Want to grow your photography exponentially? <br /><br />1.
