Eran Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Hi , I'm working on 2 vivid colors with green and orange colors. I want to take the end result to more autumn color grading (like these 2 examples) which is more brass & gold. Is it possible ? how ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 From the posting guidelines: Quote Post links to other people's images. Don't upload photos that aren't your own - that's bad manners. Provide the link to an image with the desired effect, so that we can visit it. Don't link the file itself; link the page on which you found the photo, so that the photographer gets the credit and the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do I need to do now ? look for other photos on the web with same grading or ask her for URL to photos ?

Photographer Rotem Barak; This is her website :http://rotembarak.co.il/portfolio/ The photo isn't there (model sent it).

Damien Symonds Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'll have to keep experimenting for the first two. For the third one, I think it's this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you get to the same result , like.. how do you analyse and image and copy the color attributes ? (I believe photographers are using presets in LR to get these grading ( Edited December 30, 2018 by Eran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's the same matte crap with which people have been ruining their photos for years. If you've looked through the downloadable files in this section, you'll see heaps of other examples.

I have graded both pictures , Because the light changed , there is slight difference between them and the colors on the bottom one looks more vivid or bright (not sure I'm using the correct word to describe). If I want to match them "perfectly" (as possible) , Do I need to play with Hue / Brightness on bottom or its basically not doable or not correct to do because light condition changed between 2 photos ?

Are you against color grading or against matte effect ? 2. From your experience , If I want to put a mood inside a picture (like emphasizing a season ... giving it specific season feeling like media been doing in commercials) how do you recommend doing it ?

I definitely don't think you should try to use the "artistic effect" layers to match the two photos. If they don't match, it's the fault of your clean processing. Go back to your Levels and Skin work until it's perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi , I didn't try to match the colors exactly , the cleaning process was fine with both pictures (you approved the SOOR and Levels) , If i'll try to make them identical (there is 2 minutes difference in time between the photos , and the exposure is very similar (F3.2 @ iso 100 vs F 2.8 @iso 125 ) , the brightness value is 5.36 vs 5.75 (according to exif and I'm not sure what it means) So I decided I'm not trying to match them because it will probably take me a lot of time and still I will not make them similar in colors ?
