1 00:00:00,005 --> 00:00:03,000 - [Instructor] Color Balance is a useful tool as well. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,005 And I use it more for stylizing images, 3 00:00:06,005 --> 00:00:08,006 rather than just trying to correct something. 4 00:00:08,006 --> 00:00:11,004 However, it is good for correction as well. 5 00:00:11,004 --> 00:00:13,000 Let me show you how it works. 6 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,003 So you have these different views in Color Balance. 7 00:00:15,003 --> 00:00:19,000 You have the Master view, 3-Way where you can look 8 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,002 at Shadow, Midtone, and Highlights all in one view, 9 00:00:22,002 --> 00:00:23,007 and then the way that I like to work 10 00:00:23,007 --> 00:00:27,001 with Shadow, Midtone, and Highlights separately. 11 00:00:27,001 --> 00:00:29,003 Let's go to Master, this affects all 12 00:00:29,003 --> 00:00:31,004 of these at the same time. 13 00:00:31,004 --> 00:00:34,008 I'm going to up my saturation, that happens right over here. 14 00:00:34,008 --> 00:00:38,002 This is the saturation adjustment over here. 15 00:00:38,002 --> 00:00:41,002 And let me just see what I can do here. 16 00:00:41,002 --> 00:00:43,002 I'm going to see if I can get that, there we go. 17 00:00:43,002 --> 00:00:45,002 So there's our saturation adjustment. 18 00:00:45,002 --> 00:00:47,003 So I'm going to move it up about halfway 19 00:00:47,003 --> 00:00:49,001 so you can see the changes that I make 20 00:00:49,001 --> 00:00:51,007 when I play with hue, right here. 21 00:00:51,007 --> 00:00:54,006 So I just rotate this around, and you can see 22 00:00:54,006 --> 00:00:58,000 that this affects all three shadows, midtones, 23 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,005 and highlights, at the same time. 24 00:01:01,005 --> 00:01:04,002 So that is, okay, that's pretty nice. 25 00:01:04,002 --> 00:01:07,006 I like to work on the individual channels myself. 26 00:01:07,006 --> 00:01:09,005 Now I can do that in 3-Way, 27 00:01:09,005 --> 00:01:13,002 but I prefer to do them individually, where I just work 28 00:01:13,002 --> 00:01:17,005 with Shadows first, and then I go over to Highlights second, 29 00:01:17,005 --> 00:01:20,002 and then I'll go to Midtone third. 30 00:01:20,002 --> 00:01:22,005 And by just having this one color wheel, 31 00:01:22,005 --> 00:01:26,001 again with saturation adjustment right here, 32 00:01:26,001 --> 00:01:29,001 hue adjustment right here, and then light 33 00:01:29,001 --> 00:01:33,001 and dark right here, I can really focus on what I'm doing. 34 00:01:33,001 --> 00:01:35,001 In one of the uses that I do with this 35 00:01:35,001 --> 00:01:38,002 is to create a stylized color look. 36 00:01:38,002 --> 00:01:41,007 For instance, a look that's been popular in the movies 37 00:01:41,007 --> 00:01:45,006 is the teel and orange look, where you have teel 38 00:01:45,006 --> 00:01:50,008 in the shadow areas and orange more in the highlight areas. 39 00:01:50,008 --> 00:01:51,006 Let me show you. 40 00:01:51,006 --> 00:01:55,003 I created a layer here, right here. 41 00:01:55,003 --> 00:01:57,007 And that look right there. 42 00:01:57,007 --> 00:01:59,000 (laughs) 43 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,001 I mean there're different variations on this, 44 00:02:01,001 --> 00:02:05,001 but you can see how the blacks have this teel tint to them. 45 00:02:05,001 --> 00:02:06,004 I'll turn on and off that layer 46 00:02:06,004 --> 00:02:09,005 and you can see that change right there. 47 00:02:09,005 --> 00:02:12,002 And then the skin tones, the highlights 48 00:02:12,002 --> 00:02:14,003 and the midtones are more orangey. 49 00:02:14,003 --> 00:02:16,009 This is very easy to do in color balance. 50 00:02:16,009 --> 00:02:21,003 So, shadow, you notice that I moved it all the way over here 51 00:02:21,003 --> 00:02:25,003 And I can increase the saturation on that if I want. 52 00:02:25,003 --> 00:02:27,003 So I can go real crazy with that. 53 00:02:27,003 --> 00:02:30,000 I don't (laughs), I don't. 54 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000 I want to see just a little bit of teel in the backdrop 55 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000 and maybe in the hair, but not too much. 56 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,005 And then again, of course, I can play 57 00:02:40,005 --> 00:02:43,002 with the lightness and darkness of this as well. 58 00:02:43,002 --> 00:02:46,007 We're going to make it a little bit lighter right there. 59 00:02:46,007 --> 00:02:50,005 Okay, now next I usually do highlights. 60 00:02:50,005 --> 00:02:52,009 And here you'll see that I'm very much 61 00:02:52,009 --> 00:02:55,006 in the orange zone right here. 62 00:02:55,006 --> 00:02:59,001 And I've moved this saturation up quite a bit. 63 00:02:59,001 --> 00:03:00,003 Something like that. 64 00:03:00,003 --> 00:03:02,006 And I've also moved the lightness up, 65 00:03:02,006 --> 00:03:04,005 right there in the Highlights. 66 00:03:04,005 --> 00:03:07,001 And then Midtones, very similar. 67 00:03:07,001 --> 00:03:09,004 Not quite as orange here, I'm going to move 68 00:03:09,004 --> 00:03:11,007 it a little bit more over to the orange. 69 00:03:11,007 --> 00:03:15,004 Well, no I kind of like it right there, actually. 70 00:03:15,004 --> 00:03:17,007 So I'm going to leave it right about there. 71 00:03:17,007 --> 00:03:21,008 And then again Saturation, right there. 72 00:03:21,008 --> 00:03:26,007 And then make sure things are nice and bright. 73 00:03:26,007 --> 00:03:30,005 Okay, so that is using the Color Balance tool 74 00:03:30,005 --> 00:03:32,008 to create a stylized look. 75 00:03:32,008 --> 00:03:34,009 There's what we started with, 76 00:03:34,009 --> 00:03:37,006 and there is my orange and teel look. 77 00:03:37,006 --> 00:03:40,002 And you can do that with layers and just have 78 00:03:40,002 --> 00:03:43,007 all these different looks and then just turn them on and off 79 00:03:43,007 --> 00:03:47,004 and decide, hey I ended up liking layer number three, 80 00:03:47,004 --> 00:03:49,004 and then go with that one. 81 00:03:49,004 --> 00:03:52,002 Now if you want to do that, if you want to create these layers, 82 00:03:52,002 --> 00:03:54,005 make sure that when you create the layer that you go 83 00:03:54,005 --> 00:03:57,008 with the Filled layer when you work with this tool. 84 00:03:57,008 --> 00:03:59,009 All righty, and I'll hit the M key 85 00:03:59,009 --> 00:04:01,005 so you can see what I'm talkin' about. 86 00:04:01,005 --> 00:04:04,005 See it's affecting everything in the shot. 87 00:04:04,005 --> 00:04:06,009 Because I'm not doing any localized editing, 88 00:04:06,009 --> 00:04:12,000 I'm just working on highlights, shadows, and midtones.
