DaniGirl Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 I've been using LR4 for years, and often hit S for softproofing at the beginning and end of each edit. It was excellent for identifying blown out skin, in particular. I've just upgraded to LRCC, and when I hit S for softproofing, even when skin tones are obviously blown, no warnings come on. I poked around in the settings and found two gamut warnings to turn on, but neither seem to have the same functionality of the LR4 softproofing. Does anyone have a way to turn this back on? Thanks to years of editing I'm pretty good at eyeballing blown skin now, but I miss the one-click double check. Ideas?
Damien Symonds Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 Ok, could you show us two screenshots (off and on)?
DaniGirl Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 I'm on the wrong computer, but I will when I am on my desktop. Thanks! By on and off, you mean with gamut warnings on and off?
Damien Symonds Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 No, just with soft-proofing on and off for now.
DaniGirl Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 Okay, a few files. I didn't adjust anything but the WB and I intentionally cranked the exposure to blow the skin on his face. Softproofing off: Softproofing on but monitor and print gamut warnings off:
DaniGirl Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 Destination and gamut warnings turned on (still not highlighting his face - neither does the clipping warning on the histogram)
Damien Symonds Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 Yep, this looks all as it should. Ie completely fucked up. https://www.damiensymonds.net/bridge-30-day-challenge
DaniGirl Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 Yeah, this may be what finally tips me over. I've actually done your challenge for my own curiousity, a while back. I genuinely like most aspects of LR but this is troubling. So my eyes do not deceive me? That skin should have a clipping warning?
Damien Symonds Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 I can't tell from here. You'll need to open the photo into Photoshop, and check with a Levels layer. 1
