okay hey guys a very good evening and a warm welcome to FB live session and a YouTube broadcast session on understanding post-processing the whole setup I tried a lot and hopefully they should not be any audio issues they have there were quite a number of audio issues yesterday day before well as trying so hopefully this last long okay so this is not a test session so all the folks joining in a warm welcome good evening to you and let's see so a lot of folks joining in so Samir Rishikesh sreejith Swarup engine and Jana so every thanks for joining in nice to see you all online okay so in this basically like all this new series I'm starting and hopefully like my audio is coming through fine let me know if anyway if the audio you're not able to get it so in fact the session both being broadcasted live on Facebook as well as YouTube okay so let's get started so basically like these sessions what I plan to do is to help beginners understand about post-processing so this specific session is going to be more about post-processing so I did receive quite a number of questions on post-processing some of the basics even some advanced queries so in this session I'm going to take you through the fundamentals of post-processing answer whatever queries you have I'll try my best so I have my phone here with me where I am following up with all the questions what you are asking and I will make sure like I try to answer maximum and after 30 minutes the video may go away so I'll just go back and uh switch it on I'm beaming this live from my digital SLR and 30 minutes is the auto timer off so let's see how that goes okay so where do we start from so see overall when it comes to post-processing itself there's a lot of misconceptions I want to first clear that now the whole concept of post-processing if you see it existed even from a long time even in black-and-white photography color photography fill them everything so in the darkroom I have done a lot of post-processing in the darkroom so right from the darkroom beat contrast colors saturation under exposure overexposure all these things we are doing it in the darkroom so we were playing with the slides with the light chemicals although so post-processing is not something new to the photography world and when it comes to digital photography overall post-processing is basically an integral part of your digital photography now I did get a lot of queries regarding the overall post-processing session itself so quickly let me just go through some of the questions which had come in so right from Ravi Krishnan who asked about the healing the content avid healing so I will be showing some examples on that initiate so about black and white processing he has asked Raja Banerjee noise reduction Raja I'll be showing about noise reduction Ranjith yes about white balance I'll be talking about that Armen has asked about the difference there's so many photography tools available where to start from which one to use and then of course like I had asked me here as well as Krishna to sending their albums they had some queries about the photograph of what they're doing so I agreed to just review a couple of their albums then cyan again understanding the overall post processing question had come up then again the raw processing which one is better what tool to use then again Rajesh asking about white balance it's tricky then again Krishna asking about post processing like cropping levels histogram adjustment all those various things and theage about picture style or even picture control of mic on what is the use of that so all this various queries again noise reduction from Prabhu so high-level questions I appreciate I will try to address as many as dos okay and all the various things online questions coming up feel free to ask let me start with the overall basics of post processing itself now what happens like let me start with the image itself so what I'm going to do is like I have the setup here wave laptop I'll be sharing with the images in the laptop and you'll be able to see my screen and I will take you through the whole processing chapter of the processing concept itself let me just open this up now let me start okay let me share my screen and other things okay for a lot of you folks who want to know who I am that's who I am because in the past also people ask me like new folks just come up join up and I was like okay who are you what is the slave broadcast about so just for the record I am Sudhir sharam and entrepreneur photographer photography mentor wildlife photographer whatever you want to call and I mean I was in the corporate world for 18 years quit my corporate job exactly four years back full-time into photography teaching but photography teaching itself in India I've been doing it for the last since 2003 onwards okay so that's a brief intro bow to em and you can google me so this your um okay okay so let's get into there you go this is a better view now comes the fun part about whole post-processing itself let me see if I can move self myself a little bit to the side okay that's okay I'm a little in the center doesn't matter okay so now when it comes to the full concept of post-processing what tools to use now obviously you have a lot of tools right from Adobe Camera Raw which is the Adobe's proprietary RAW processing software then you are capturing XD Canon DPP Lightroom you have there's so many processing tools let's go on step back a difference between raw and JPEG itself let's start from there now what happens is like JPEG it's an image file whereas Brock is more of a data file so raw as the name says it's just raw it doesn't have anything it's pure data now what happens is in your camera like the various settings what you are right from your white balance to the color profile to the picture style or the picture control which is basically combination of your contrast saturation then the brightness lot of those parameters then the other one the ISO comes into picture noise-reduction comes into picture inbuilt camera noise reduction so there are hundreds of this auto light optimizer or the activity lighting for the Nikon so there are hundreds of these settings in your camera now if you are shooting JPEG the way your camera works is this is your sensor from the sensor it copies to the internal camera buffer when you click and from the internal buffer it copies to your external memory card SD card CF card any of those now from internal buffer when the copies that is when it applies all these parameters so even before you can think that I don't want to do any kind of post-processing your camera has done around of post-processing for you so applying all this various changes it copies the CF card so you can never get hold of your original original image when you shoot in the JPEG mode okay doesn't matter you put all those values to default default is basically some value so all those gets applied so anybody who's against post-processing this is a little bit of yarn about how your camera behaves now if it is raw shooting what happens is basically from the internal buffer it directly copies to your external memory card and tagging all this as defaults it doesn't apply it's a raw file it just copies it as header file information that's it so this is the major difference between JPEG and RAW now when it comes to draw processing what software to use in my case I use a combination of different software right from when I'm shooting in a Nikon is capture an XD so on the left side here you can see the capture in XD I have it in my desktop then so yeah and then even for all the Canon files sometimes I use Canon DPP the digital photo professional and then majority of my work I do it on Adobe Camera Raw so what you are seeing this is Adobe bridge so behind me this whole layout this is Adobe bridge now I use Adobe bridge a lot which is a given image management tool it's not a processing tool it's just the image management application from here I export it to Photoshop or Adobe Camera Raw for the processing now since I'm the photographer in the field I know what kind of image I have shot that is way like I decide what software I want to use let's take this example now this image may look beautiful Wow the backdrop what you have so here if you see this particular image the colors personally I am not happy with it because this is not the color what I captured what I saw there now this is where the difference comes into picture Adobe Camera Raw is a third-party software let me show the difference okay let me show with this one let's go to the full screen looks beautiful yes I shot it it has to be beautiful so it's a nice image if you ask me hey not so soon hold on okay so it's a nice image but the seamy made this is the raw file what you're seeing in Adobe Camera Raw same file unprocessed untouched let's see how it looks in Canon DPP hold on for the shock there you go look at this this is what Canon DPP seeing and this is what I captured out there okay so this is how it was this is Raphael I have not even touched it this is the original raw file with white balance pumped up all the way and so again sabbia of the question you're asking when do you use capture and XD Adobe Camera Raw when do you do what so of course how to process I'll be talking about that but if you look at this particular one this is what the cameras had seen in what captured and let's see what bridge has done look at this this is bridge this is let's go to the full screen mode the impact is much better in full screen mode beautiful image look at the colors everything Wow and look at this okay that guy's using this slide is going off running away okay there you go this is a CR Adobe Camera Raw this is Canon DPP that's the major difference okay so as a photographer that is where when they look at the image I know what software I have to use and that is where I decide and use specific software and any of you folks out there are especially Nikon guys please please use the nikon capture NX d for your processing of course I do have my own Photography tutorial all you have to do is go to learn learn dot sudeesh rom-com and under the video tutorials like all the various video tutorials are there for you to look at right from the basics and advanced photography so mastering your post-processing using capture cam and DPP they know the right most is capture NX d and then Adobe Camera Raw and then Photoshop different various things are there everything for a mere four thousand 999 ok per year one is subscription coming back now this is where you have to decide as a photographer what kind of software tool you want to use there is no hard and fast rule that you have to use this or that okay so Mohit do you have any video on beginning of photography yes the one what I just showed you the basics of photography I can guarantee you closing my eyes the first one basics and advance the photography and post-processing what you see this has around 8 hours of teaching including post-processing I mean I'll guarantee you in writing pay attention go through this enter course your whole photography is going to change okay so don't want to deviate a lot about what a what my services are but yes for the question what you asked I do have the online post-processing photography learning everything as a part of my online video tutorials coming back so this is basically what tool to select let's go to the next step so one of the questions which came in is about white balance okay let me take this to example this other one okay there you go now in simple terms so let me go to the full screen here now in simple terms white balance is nothing but one of the parameters which decides what colors basically to use in the image what colors we want to showcase now it is expressed in Kelvin okay or for a lot of entry-level mid-range cameras you don't have manual white balance so you have the presets like daylight shade cloudy flash tungsten all those various presets they in turn basically type to a particular number okay so it could be five thousand two hundred Kelvin for daylight and then say six thousand four or cloudy 7,000 for shared of course between Canon and Nikon there will be slight variations look at this particular scene this was early morning in Corbett and shot in the glory or a shade quite balanced very high white balance beautiful Aloha I got so from natural outdoor shooting when you do right so any white balance over say 6,000 Kelvin you get more warm colors aloha colors any white balance below 5000 Kelvin you get more of bluish cast okay so that is where you have to decide as a photograph for what white balance you want to use this was shot at high white balance next one everything remaining the same look at this the whole mood in the image changes okay now comes the fun part let's go into the raw this is where the power of rock comes into picture let me just open this fight in Adobe Camera Raw so I just double click it how do I become door opens basically Adobe Camera Raw you cannot install it separately when you install Photoshop Adobe Camera Raw is a plug-in which comes in so on top if you see the Creative Cloud what I have installed all this various software you get as a part of that of course it is asking me to update to the latest one I'll do it after this presentation there you go Photoshop then come all the way Adobe bridge is here which is the image management tool then Camera Raw separately for upgrades you get okay but we cannot install it separately it's a plugin cool go back now look at this image which was shot at 2005 night coming there you go okay so if a shot at 2500 Kelvin you want to change in post-processing no issue it's a very simple step just use the slider take it all the way up there you go it is as simple as that so as a beginner in photography white balance don't worry too much about what to do what to use in the field that said my recommendation is always to get it right in the field a quick tip for beginners I will give you and even for advanced users when you are shooting sunset you want to get those yellows all those right go with the white balance of 10000 Kelvin if you have manual white balance go with 10000 Cal otherwise go with shade shoot in raw mode come back here and you can do this look at this so this original one if you see this more of 2500 Kelvin the bluish cast no problem I shoot it go back or come back into the raw file and change it but if this was a JPEG file it would have been very tough to make this kind of a change this is basically what we call as the non-destructive processing because whatever changes am I playing it doesn't apply to the main image it just it's a slider you just varied the data changes that's all let me cancel this go back to the other one there you go so this was photographed at 10000 Kelvin of course in the camera it was 10,000 Kelvin Auto became not a hundred percent may not be able to read the data okay fine I want to change this second increase this again to make it up to 50,000 Kelvin in basically the Adobe Camera Raw and then if I want to change the original of this go back all the way down there you got to 2000 Kelvin I can go down change the entire mood of the image itself okay so this is where the power of raw file comes into picture okay so Rohan I would yes while shooting raw white balance doesn't matter I fully agree with you but as a photographer my recommendation is to always get into the habit of putting the correct white balance because in a lot of my situations say recently I captured all the dandiya all those things in my apartment and I don't want to shoot RAW files of those things so I went I had shot everything in JPEG and then if I make a mistake making these Corrections it becomes very difficult I mean normal events what I want to capture I don't want to capture like 20 MB 30 MB RAW files a 4 MB JPEG and happy with it I don't do anything with it I just give it away post it online ok so that is where you have to decide what kind of a white balance you want to use put it right in the field ok so this is the first part where I wanted to help you understand about white balance now the next let's jump into the whole flow itself of post-processing okay let me just cancel this let me see if there are any specific queries any of those things and guys I'm I didn't say hello to a lot of my regular friends who join in I keep seeing all the names here thank you so much for joining in okay now okay fine so let me show how shake and a lot of folks have asked me saying I don't get the right kind of colors all those things let me show you look at this image let me take you through the complete workflow now what I do okay and let me in advance tell you folks I am NOT an expert in post-processing okay the things what I do are very very simple straightforward I am NOT an expert in photography I am NOT an expert in post-processing I am an expert in photography okay so I'm not an expert in post-processing but the basic things what I need to know for my kind of processing I know it quite well and the other very important thing water I am going to show you and teach you is basically image correction and not manipulation again this is a misconception where people see changes as manipulation know the kind of things what I teach is basically process your image to show what you saw in the field nothing more nothing less of course make some changes to give it a nice punch all those things but don't overdo things okay and Deepak there you go right time of transfer your question about is there any limitations or a line to draw us to how much processing to be done honestly you are the photographer you decide how much you want to do there are no rules nobody is going to like tell you what to do as long as you are happy doing on the image working on the image doing what you want Corrections manipulations also probably as long as you are happy that is all that matters of course if you're participating in a competition that's a totally different thing okay so how much is there a limit on what can be done there you go so onion bun color balance I will come to that okay wait a lot of questions coming up thanks for asking try to answer as many as possible let me go through the whole flow let's study the image now as a photographer the main thing akshay quick answer yes adding filters locally filters does affected image don't use any of the filters now first thing what you have to do when you opening image is steady the image I mean here obviously the white balance is not what I wanted in the field I may have used some white balance of I think daylight I may have used the 5700 kelvin probably was flash so if you see here there is no direct sunlight so the white balance what I used was not appropriate that is where the contrast I lost one is when you want to get good contrast you need good lighting in the image if there is no lighting that contrast will be lost okay you can see a lot of hazy kind of a thing the colors are lost the punch all those things are lost let me take you through the complete process as to how to process this image and then probably a lot of your doubts hopefully will get clarified okay let's do it and any time my video may disappear I'll just have to go back and turn on my video hopefully it's this let's see of course 30 minutes auto power off is there let me just click press something and see okay hold on okay I just press the button shutter release button press it a few times hopefully the 30 minutes extends to another 30 minutes from now okay looking at the image what are the main things main main thing yes the contrast is missing so let's go ahead hopefully hold on let me see if I can actually do it there was something I was doing okay that's not working the zooming option had enabled on the laptop I I forgot how to use it it's okay so in the right side here basically is the contrast okay and let me first increase the contrast on the image okay go ahead never hesitate as I tell you never hesitate one step at a time what we are doing is the non-destructive processing so don't worry about the corrections okay so that's the contrast I increase the contrast to even say nineteen next so overall the image looks dull let's increase the exposure at little so in fact I have to see here I have to see the broadcast screen how it is looking is the same so should not be a problem so let me increase the practice a little fine happy now our since exposure a little bit I increase in the back the whites I want to reduce it that is where the highlights okay uh just let me disappear for a second okay so you see this slider over here this is basically the highlights slider let's take it down a little so if I increase the whites you can see it is increasing I want to bring it down a little okay so then to get better contrast the blacks little bit there you go I do this then the vibrance I want more colors the punch increase okay so looks nice and shadow a day the elephant let me increase the shadow attain elephant then exposure yeah I'm happy with this okay of course further fine-tuning has to happen in Photoshop so you come back okay I'm back so as you can see these are the basic things what I did okay so let's see a before okay this is not the mouse okay so let's see it before and after so the original image this is how it was dull no punch nothing in this and after that of course behind me is the before and after toggle button I am just pressing that this is after look at the punch so for a lot of questions which had come in asking me saying I'm not getting good punch in the image colors contrast what I saw what I captured I don't get it these are the very very basic things you can do to get back the colors next what I do once I finish this I take it to photoshop so I just click on open image of course before that basic setup you have to do I want it to be in prophoto RGB the color space I wanted to be in photo photo depth 8 bits is fine with me because I'm not going to print it right now so resolution for web I just keep it to 72 72 dpi honestly speaking it doesn't matter what resolution you keep for the web 72 I'll keep it rest everything default okay okay so what I'm going to do is let me just sit down I am NOT going to take it to Photoshop right now let me just show you a few things what you have to do in Photoshop now here in Photoshop we have to grab that file so from there I'm going to push it to Photoshop and here I want to go into the color management settings okay I have already put the settings so again the working space prophoto RGB rest everything blah blah blah everything is fine okay say okay so these are the settings what you need to have to capture it let's go back of course this is basically a one-time setup so this is non-destructive processing what I have done I didn't like it you can always go back to default and change it now let me hide myself so that I can show you what I am clicking okay there you go so you see below here there is this open image okay so you can't see it in the screen let's see okay there is this open image down here okay so I think in the screen what I'm hearing you're not able to see it so this is this open image down here I click on that and it opens up in Photoshop so do you come back okay there you go so it opens up now here you can go ahead and do the cropping any of those things of course cropping you can also do back over there so let's show that I mean the overall post-processing is extremely flexible so there's a crop tool here you want only the elephant's go ahead and crop it okay so it's extremely flexible cropping in the straightening tool then dust removal I mean there are hundreds of these things here in Adobe Camera Raw let me cancel come back to photoshop here now here what I do I'll have to steady the image and then first thing probably what I do is I want to resize the image so typically let's take it for Facebook post okay or long oh yeah I forgot to switch on my logo on the right corner that's okay now our main thing is like for Facebook I want to resize the image okay that's good so this is the high resolution native resolution what we call and in a lot of photography competition they convey saying please send us native resolution files do not crop the image to not resize the image so what you see here Phi 1 8 4 by 3 4 5 6 this is the native resolution of the image where you're not doing any tree says nothing this is the actual megapixels captured by the camera 1 is to 1 that's it ok so on the x-axis you have 5,000 184 pixels y-axis 3000 456 pixels at 72 pixels per inch PPI dpi we interchange ok so typically for my Facebook I post thousand two hundred height and thousand 800 width let me say ok so when you click 100% it's quite a high resolution file beautiful look at the kid over there the cuff very nice okay so fit screen now normally after resizing the next thing what I do is basically levels levels is an extremely powerful tool when it comes to photoshop so the punker let me let while I'm talking like we take some of the quick queries which are coming over here the punker vibrance tint those things right so typically vibrance is more offer Adobe proprietary correction ok proprietary tool adjustment whatever so the major difference between saturation and vibrance saturation boosts the color of the entire image whereas vibrance what it does it increases the saturation of only the vibrant colors so for example this image if you see the backdrop what you have the sky or any of those things it doesn't make sense to boost the colors of that right so that is where when you use vibrance the greens of the grass those things it boosts it increases the colors of that ok so yes placing the logo I will definitely show it ok color tone okay now submit I saw srgb in video tutorials is there any major difference between prophoto RGB srgb Adobe RGB yes there's a huge difference so probably like that itself will require a separate discussion about color management color management policies but quickly let me tell you with that analogy now when it comes to the working space the colors ICC profiles right it's basically how many colors you can use to play around with the image okay in simple terms we've had to give you an example srgb is basically if I give you a clown's packet of say 15 colors 1/5 light red dark red light green dark green so this variation of colors if I give you a clown's packet of 15 colors and asked you to do a sketch I mean it will not be very colorful one with those limited colors you do it you'd draw a sketch so that's your srgb now adobe RGB is say I give you say 50 of those trance pencils ok so current pencils 50 I give you different variations within that particular color so you can draw a little bit more vibrant picture then comes to pro photography where I say give you 100 colors ok so 100 Dhahran pencils then it's a very very vibrant thing what we can basically draw so at a very high level this is the major difference between srgb Adobe RGB profit RGB and whatever display monitors what we have majority of them there is RGB display even though here and working in prophoto RGB what I see is actually a surge because the display even though I'm using a MacBook Pro they cannot display in prophoto RGB colors of course you you get separate monitors to display Adobe RGB and that is like a like like 50,000 or more of course I'm talking about good quality monitors where you can see the real colors what is shot ok in Adobe RGB format what we see is RGB huge difference coming back to the main workflow so here are the next step what I do is use the levels now levels is basically the histogram and I make some Corrections so the right side I want to adjust the highlights of course in depth if you want to do do sign up do subscribe for my video tutorials that is the place where you learn all this things in detail okay next so the whole workflow and showing so sharp being all those things I'll be showing okay fine so there's a nice shortcut of using the alt or option key to know where to stop the slider so I press that so there you see on top let me move the box to the side once more you see the thing on top that is the place which is getting overexposed if I just move in see that place that top portion is heavily overexposed not good take it back so the moment you start seeing some pixels that's fine go back a little that's fine I stopped there for the highlights then on the shadow area same thing I repeat back yeah this is fine so if you see that review or the preview now this is before this is after you see a slight variation and of course this is Center one is the mid-tone which can use so this is fine okay so this is basically the level adjustment so 100% beautiful fit screen and then the next one more or less I am done I want to do the sharpening so I go into filter sharpen smart sharpen okay so I use not sharpen for all my Wildlife images amount I normally keep it anywhere from 70 to 90 to 120 depending on the original quality of the image and then radius 0.3 for web-based 1.3 for online basically officer 1.3 for prints okay so I'm trying to even look at any questions related to what I am explaining cool so there you go so 90 I'm happy with this and all the other things so remove lens blur is what I keep no other changes I don't do any noise reduction over here I'll show you why done okay so more or less it's ready but let me show you in this itself about noise reduction if i zoom in you see here just above the elephant here so there is I don't know in the small monitor or depending on where you are watching if you are on YouTube then 720p they shouldn't get HD you can see in if you are watching this in YouTube okay so you can see those greens nice little bit go back fullscreen okay so here what I do is basically I go ahead I'm still broadcasting okay so here basically I go ahead I have installed neat image as a plug-in over here so filter neat image version 8 I open it it's a plugin so the one one of the best things of the entire workflow is I never leave my Photoshop or Adobe Camera Raw to photoshop go to neat image come back to photoshop so the same image I am working on that I am not saving it closing it opening it doing it again saving come back here no it's the continuous workflow in one single application and of course if you are using Canon DPP or capture in XD there also you can maintain the same workflow Quaid the RAW processing you can do it in that software and then basically export it to Photoshop directly and the whole process is continuous so I want to do an auto profile weird yeah it takes its own values little bit of fine-tuning and then I applied now I will show you what happens so I applied the setting now once I apply there is an issue so I think Raja you are asked the same question Raja Banerjee and some of you had asked this question about noise reduction let me show you what happened now in the noise reduction what I did you see the leg over here let me do a ctrl Z to show you back see here the skin details before after before after so the skin details I lost out on that okay so fit screen again so I lost out on the skin details when I used post-processing or when they used noise reduction on the entire image very bad now let me do ctrl Z I don't want to run my noise removal on the entire image I want to apply nostril removal only to the other parts of the area other parts of the image not on the elephants now this is where the masking technique comes in so what I do very simple duplicate the layer of course it's a advance little bit advance and do subscribe to my video tutorials to go deeper into these things okay on my website learn do dis rom-com everything explained in detail okay just one-year subscription please please go ahead support me on that okay I mean I guarantee you a good learning there now what I do I created a layer now I go ahead and make any adjustment so I go ahead do my reduce noise I'll show you little bit excess I will do and show you what is the power of this masking so it has taken a sample let me move the sample down here and I'll show you the issue remove it noise filtering Wow there you go okay this is just I'm doing a little extreme to show you the power of masking what you can do I apply it very close look at this so what happened is if this is where in fact somebody else had asked me saying when we run the noise removal tool why does the size of the image reduce the megapixel the size everything it comes down that's because it removes the pixel it modifies the pixel the data it takes away the data now if you see what happened over here look at this the skin details of the elephant is gone this is the issue with running noise removal on the entire image but no issue that is where I created a layer and I'm working on the layer I've done the correction I'm going to like apply the masking once I apply the masking then again I used the brush tool toggle there you go I get back of course so the grass down here everywhere I am just going to use the brush to get back the details super there you go and in the top area is basically I'm still broadcasting okay good so some error message pop up okay yeah that's right about the skin deters was gone that is weird using the masking technique what they do I get back the skin details then once I had done that I just go ahead and say flatten the layer of course there are a lot of advanced thing what we can do here we're again the intensity the opacity you can decrease as to how much you want to apply you want to not want to apply all those but I just at a high level showed you how I use noise removal where I apply no animal only to the background not to the meaning may so more or less my image is ready and somebody asked me about how do I put the logo so let me just go ahead and do that so what I have is logo file is wait did I keep the logo file ok ah let me show you using my old logo I think my new logo is somewhere here on the desktop probably here is my desktop I mean a cool logo the new ssp now this is the same folder I'm working on something different so I don't want to show too many things ok are there you go let me just use this at a high level or this was the corrupted file ha ha ha so they recede ok I don't want to go to other folders working on something so let me just go to my old logo except so what I have done so this is my old logo ok fine it's I knowing what photos I open that file ok so so this you wrong where are you there you go so this is my logo it's nothing but it's just another JPEG image this is my old logo right there so what I can do is I just research this image to whatever say 400 by something ctrl a ctrl C the whole logo placing is nothing but cut and paste ctrl c ctrl a ctrl c ctrl v that's it ok but of course sure i want to reduce the size it's too big i want to move it around so what I do I go into edit free transform use the shift move it whatever size you want do it move it to the side hit enter of course this looks like a patch now ok the logo it looks like a patch I don't like it so what I can do is get rid of this what I have done to this ok my original logo so I have used basically any of you can do this there is a background very nice are you okay there's my witness background eraser tool so where I simply delete the background so that deleted background image I already have the transparent so this is the already deleted background control a control C control V that's it see the background is deleted only the lower comes in okay so yeah so the new log also in similar way I do it so this is about the logo thing let me see what other things are coming in okay art so how does level works and are the important with beginner so Pro now yes the way the level works is basically over Alenia remains the data is distributed so the tonality is distributed right from the highlights to the shadow to the mid-tones so what happens is certain times like on the right side highlights area or the shadow area there may not be enough data so that is really see the blank so see me may so okay let me just complete and then get back to the question sorry about that let me finish the whole workflow so once this is done I just had to flatten layer since I have pasted the image on top of this so it creates the layer so if I go back to the layers here okay so they do see they layered on layer 2 of course the other logo with the patch I added so if I just show that it comes back there close it remove it I hide it okay so since its layers I have to go layer flatten image super discard obviously ok now so far if you see the whole thing has been processed in prophoto RGB color space so I want to convert it to srgb for online posting any of those things so edit convert to profile from prophoto RGB srgb control shift yes say desktop itself save it and twelve I use twelve as the image quality because I get around 1.7 megapixel image good enough okay so that is definitely good enough for online posting there you go so this is basically the completely processed image so let's go back okay so this is let's go to the default remove everything okay all changes back open the image in Photoshop there you go so this is the image before this not you close this is not safe okay so this is the before this is the after look at the sea of change huge huge change in the whole image itself but as I said whatever you saw this is not manipulation for me this is correction okay because I corrected the image to showcase what I saw over there and of course little bit of adding contrast punch to make it feel good the wall factor has to come in so obviously like I don't want to print this image I want to basically print and hang this image on the wall of my house so let's see any of these other things which keeps coming in question now how about processing multiple exposure yes you have a lot of those let me show you the power of post-processing using an other raw file okay because I can just keep going on and on and on this one let's look at this image again all this is the power of rock quickly if I have to explain to you like if you look at this image fair enough it's a composite or rather like it's a tough exposure where you cannot get the details in the elephant and of course keeping the sunset also under proper exposure so this is where the shadow highlight comes in okay so you can increase the shadow overall exposure increase the way you want to see the elephants this image I take it to Photoshop and then go back I want to basically get better increase the temperature if you want highlights little bit reduce it so take this so let me just show you quickly open that in Photoshop okay so this portion is most for the top portion so somebody asked about composite processing so just quickly showing that and then I go back default now I want more details in the elephant area hold a little bit contrast yeah so I want this for the elephant open the image again roughly I'm showing it okay control a control C control V then I use my masking then use the brush and of course I'm doing it in a very very rough way okay just to show you the power and what can be done now of course when it comes to the border area all those things you will have to play around with your opacity other things and make sure there is a nice transition from top to down and it's not very visible of course any of this is basically I am manipulating the image of course this is how in real it was but this kind of composite processing many of the what do you call competitions they don't agree okay they don't take it that is where they ask for your offer so this is one of the things when it comes to composite okay a lot of questions are coming up some of the advances - like individually how do I change colors or replace the background all those so I don't want to get into that kind of manipulation stuff hopefully as some other separate one I can do so at a very high level these are the key things what I wanted to show you for beginners of course I can do it separate one for advanced but as I said I would highly encourage you all to go on to my website learn to this rom-com and you get all this various benefits from my video tutorials currently there are these eight seven or eight courses more it's already done and just wait had to wait for another 15 20 days for all the new ones to be shown on the website so this itself is good enough to really zoom up your photography learning okay so the key things any of unique on guys define red you can go through that irrespective of what camera you do Canon guys 1200 is good enough and of course my main main one basic and advanced you that is good enough okay now let me just take up a lot of the regular general questions which are coming up so let me just change a few things okay so okay you go small so there you go okay good Wow so folks I hope that particular session was quite useful and you enjoyed it hopefully a lot of learning and do give me your feedback other things now so Rahul the four thousand nine ninety seven is inclusive of GST yes so the actual base price of the product is I think four thousand two hundred plus 18 percent GST comes to four thousand nine ninety seven it's inclusive of the GST now where to place the logo through well you can place it away oh I'm so sorry I don't want to conclude there are two major things which are pending okay so I know probably those guys were waiting waiting waiting sorry sorry hold on hold on holla where is my notepad okay so uh me here had sent album saying quickly can you do a review I'm not getting the proper colors all those things so okay let's see if I'm not going to do an in-depth review so I think this is the album what he had created okay so see when it comes to oral photography itself photography itself isn't art actually like and obviously nobody can teach you the art aspect you have to develop it over a period of time but at least through my tutorials what I can teach you is the core concepts the four important pillars of photography about subject knowledge the fundamental concepts of photography about the various exposure settings white balance the focusing metering a lot of those things composition I can teach then even about equipment shooting techniques post-processing all these things I can peace which is the core four pillars of your photography so quickly if we see the images of me here I mean here if you see obviously from an exposure point of view oh I'm sorry I'm not hitting the screen there you go small Sudhir comeback okay so this is basically the album which me has sent across okay so this is the images what he has sent across quickly let's go through that so here again your exposure has gone for a toss and somebody asked me saying okay how does your we did tutorial help these are the things since it's backlit so depending on with us what metering or evaluative metering how we can play around you can come to know too many distractions if little bit right side angle you had gone just the crested serpent eagle would have stood otic see those branches coming to that not good it has to stand out okay sambar fine again Corbett I know the legs are chopped off this kind of close-up will not work zoom what would kind of habitat shot eye contact is missing in this okay of course Wow the broad bill your crop the image is quite far focusing has gone for a toss he made is this a shake in that everything which can go wrong has gone wrong in this okay same thing again probably across closed cropping when it comes to bird photography and focal length right don't try to do a closed cropping try to compose the way what your camera and lens combination can give you closed cropping is going to spoil the whole image clarity quality everything okay so here again composition background processing all those things comes into picture clarity is missing sharpness this is a nice one so this image obviously like when you use the D haze option and the levels option this image is going to pop out like anything if it is a raw file you can do this easily for other stuff what I showed you can easily get that of course the lighting under wings it's under expose again here the shutter speed has gone for a toss so at a high level minute if you see from a photographic point of view if I just go through this images right again the elephant backlit that even the beaters here again exposure has gone for a toss so I think you are a perfect candidate for my repeat tutorials from here you had asked me the punch is not there all those various things something is missing obviously are not getting the right exposure or then you're focusing then your exposure triangle parameter shutter speed we are not getting it right haha that was the 13 interval and you lost my video for a second it's back sorry about that okay so there you go so me here these are the things which share to take care off and digital yeah so made hopefully are that should answer your query about how to get good images please please do subscribe for my video tutorials I'll guarantee you your images will improve end up Krishna's let's quickly go through yours I know even you shared it in your Facebook profile that your images will be reviewed by this expert do watch it appreciate that sharing let me take it up okay so mere are you around sorry Krishna just say hi to me on on the comments section oh yeah there you go Krishna Sastri thanks for joining in here I know you're waiting and I almost missed it okay cool so Krishna now let me give you a little bit of inputs now depending on now what jaunt of whatever because here I see a mix of different genre of photography now depending on the genre photography what you do right you have to decide what kind of photography you want to do within the genre now there are different concept different aspects between photography documentary photography travel photography then the drill valve factors what I called that kind of a photography okay and habitat shot so there are different ways you can capture an image say for example this image if I take okay so of course this requires a little bit of processing sharpness is little bit missing of course 100% sharpness I don't want to comment because Facebook spoils the quality of the image so hundred percent I don't want to do it and I see a small rainbow over there fantastic good capture okay so here again with the aural processing right this image can really pop up let's give it a shot okay save image as desktop itself let's save it I'm not going to go do this for all the images like some sometimes when I look at the image I feel like let me work on that some control desktop let's open this image okay so here I can definitely do a lot of stuff for the background especially the clouds and then the mountains for me the main thing is the mountains to increase the contrast punch so let's quickly do some things and see if it makes sense it doesn't make sense I was wrong simple your exposure is already there so this is where you need to be like that Arjuna in in when he's trying to shoot that fish right so he's asked like what do you see rest everybody says that I see the face the background the wheel habitat everything they say what Arjuna says I see only the eye of the fish so you need to be the Arjuna here when you're doing the masking forget about rest of the world concentrate on the area where you need to make corrections so on the left side of the clouds left side Mountain this is what I want fair enough I'll do a little excess okay just to show the difference normally I don't do this okay and then I'm going to put my masking for this and then go back to the original reduce the brush size my opacity increased my opacity see that because the brush of course with the raw file you can do a lot more so this set is already overexposed this area can't do much so bringing those mountain details okay okay forget up on the right side leave it it's okay so here if you see the left side mountain no toggle get rid of it so just little different is fair to show you this is before after okay so the whole hazy kind of a mountain you can get rid of course in the quick way I show with the raw file I can do much better okay that's one now this is what I call as the documentary image so in these kind of things basically if you see fine it's a nice Red House with showing habitat the mountains to the backdrop so if I'm trying to write a blog about my whole travel my journey then I'll be using this image to say this is the place where I was this is not a Waffle image but yes it's a wall place and this house with the red color nice contrast against the background and this is where as state this is where one week I spent from a memory point of view this is nice image but not a wall image for me because the background the sky is overexposed the clouds are overexposed this why are going over there too many of those man-made materials so this is a kind of a documentary image for me again here if you see your tried a few think but are not fully there if you ask me I know you have tried with some kind of all this Jing Jack things in the thing but I am NOT a wedding photographers I don't know if clients require this kind of animate so I could be wrong over there okay but still the clarity details what happened okay sorry okay so in fact I did go through your draw images so all you need to be little bit more focused der Krishna so when it comes to your images right work on each of the image okay don't be in a hurry don't be in a hurry to click okay so even this image if you see just randomly fair to see and there are very too many things in this it doesn't work your depth of field are not worked on this composition your exposure if you see overexposed parts the lighting is at actually like brilliant over here so if you had got the right exposure center of that and mood little to the left better composition depth of field effect considered you could have improved it so almost same as what I convey to me here right so here again this is just a documentary shot this is not a great shot for me the whole cement block comes in the front over there it blocks my view completely and the kids playing having fun it's not coming out from this image so the storytelling image what we say it's not happening in this okay so that is the lacking part so if you see photography itself is not there you go again depth of field is gone bad your exposure okay composition main thing is the clarity details the sharpness it's not there okay so this is what I mean by saying work on your images so whatever image you're trying to shoot a lot of these things the four pillars of photography what I call all those various things comes into picture okay Wow so at a high level this is the feedback what I have for you okay and now I know like a lot of people must now have started sending me saying please review my images here all those things so the intent of this workshop of this presentation was not to review images but as a workflow I just wanted to give using your example even I wanted to convey photography it's basically a whole art like the whole workflow comes in right from understanding about your subject the concepts of photography then your shooting techniques what equipment you are using matters post-processing so all these things come together and any of you are trying to send me images forgive you I will give you a general feedback work on these four aspects okay and whatever image you are trying to shoot take your time work on the subject don't be in a hurry never get satisfied too quickly so these are the key things which you have to keep in mind okay so now again let's go back to the Q and a and then we can conclude the session the big sue did come back you go back okay nice background cool okay folks hopefully this session was helpful and going forward I will be doing a lot more of the sessions and hold on a lot of you are going away hold on coming soon basically like very soon I am going to be talking about this lens let me see quickly how many of you can tell me a small quiz what lens am i holding here what is this lens it's a canon camera what lens is this fast so what format I assume I processed files Akshay I basically save everything as JPEG okay and Drupal you can do advanced photography in the SLR any damn SLR you can do it so yeah I believe you guys saw this tamarin thing and you said it's a Tamron lens but what lens is it come on give me the range Mohan wide-angle I need the mm Mohan what millimeter lens what lens is this okay so Brazil 18-135 na 85mm God now 24-105 no full frame lens no this is actually not a full frame lens this is a DI lens 7300 prime no 18-135 no okay time twenty four seventy no pages you got the right answer okay so DUP you got the right answer this is tamarins latest 18400 lens it's a fantastic range and I did try out a few let it go so this is 8 this is 400 mm this is 18 mm so I have the tamarins latest 18 400f 3.5 26.3 di - vc h LD legs over here so probably like next week or the week after next I'll be announcing my next photography webinar this broadcast and there I want to show you about this lens then show you some of the images from this less what it is capable of it's I think in the range of 50 thousand odd rupees so definitely a nice entry-level beginners wildlife photography lens I would say so I'll be talking about this lens in the next broadcast next webinar okay so hold on to that now how to practice panning in telephoto lens you need to get a panning pot for that okay so all of you still guessing what lengths is that as I said it's the 18400 lens okay so Sarah it it is a massive lens for all purpose for beginners but you're too serious about quality of the image then we have to rethink okay and it does not fit all format camera it's a DI lens which means it can fit only the crop sensor of course you get for Canon you get for naquan mount both but it is only for the aps-c cameras you cannot use it on a full frame body okay uh will it be good for birding quite decent for birding I would say the quality I will have to explain it next time also Matt oh no unfortunately still I have not bought it and they're not given it's the for basically for me to pry it off basically like if I have to share information a lot of people ask me so there how is this lens and that is where I agreed to test it out they basically I have borrowed it from them they are just given it on lending purpose and then I will be giving it back to them okay and of course so pretty soon I'll be getting the four hundred do lens is two from Canon and I'll be testing that as well okay so starting f-stop was three point five as I said yeah three point five to six point three is the aperture okay let's see a lot of folks joining in late now that's fine price I think around fifty fifty plus something in that range if a Sony camera will it fit mine I think it should probably as long as it's the crop sensor okay so what about Tam Rosemont 5600 MMG - so so Mitra that's a fantastic lens I have done that review of that a detailed review even the Facebook live I had done on that it's somewhere hidden deep inside hopefully I'll do it again because I'm trying to now capture all this videos on my youtube as well okay so cool fantastic all right guys any of the other queries which have been coming in I will see how best I can go
