StudioPopJess Posted February 15, 2024 Share Posted February 15, 2024 HI! I had made last minute decision in the chaos of this wedding to leave my light where it was so I could get the grooms reaction ( those photos don't look like this!) this is a screen shot, just a screen shot.. forgive me I haven't posted in a long time, the second is how I would normally edit that reflects my style.. but it makes the dad blue with spillover light.... I have never taken your raw class ( I know I know). just wondering if you can make any suggestions? thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 15, 2024 Share Posted February 15, 2024 I can probably help with this, but I'll need the actual photo not a screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioPopJess Posted February 15, 2024 Author Share Posted February 15, 2024 is there a way to send the raw? or do you want the jpeg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioPopJess Posted February 15, 2024 Author Share Posted February 15, 2024 I have a bunch of these, I know you hate Lightroom , but I do use it and did dehaze.... don't hate me and yell at me please lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 15, 2024 Share Posted February 15, 2024 You do have Photoshop though, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted February 16, 2024 Share Posted February 16, 2024 Add a Levels adjustment layer and enter these values: - Red channel: 0/1.00/230 - Green channel: 85/1.00/230 - Blue channel: 125/1.00/225 This will make the whole photo kinda crazy orange. Then invert the mask to hide the adjustment. Then use a big soft brush at 10% opacity to paint onto the problem area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudioPopJess Posted February 18, 2024 Author Share Posted February 18, 2024 I will do this soon, was gone all day... anyway to fix the haze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 18, 2024 Share Posted February 18, 2024 What? I just told you how to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioPopJess Posted February 20, 2024 Author Share Posted February 20, 2024 I guess I don't know how to do that.. Levels I always use the slider to make brighter or darker this is what I see with levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 See where it says "RGB" in that little pull-down at the top? That's where you find the individual channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioPopJess Posted February 28, 2024 Author Share Posted February 28, 2024 color is better, but the haze is still there ... is that the best that can be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 28, 2024 Share Posted February 28, 2024 This is a different version of the photo than you posted for me before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioPopJess Posted March 1, 2024 Author Share Posted March 1, 2024 this is edited with what you said and I removed the light stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 1, 2024 Share Posted March 1, 2024 I gave you very precise numbers based on the exact image you'd given me. This one: On 2/16/2024 at 9:05 AM, StudioPopJess said: I have a bunch of these, I know you hate Lightroom , but I do use it and did dehaze.... don't hate me and yell at me please lol But the image you applied my numbers to was different. A different crop, and a different edit. That's why my numbers didn't work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioPopJess Posted March 2, 2024 Author Share Posted March 2, 2024 oh, I have like 50.. it looks the same crop to me.. I removed the light stand .. applied your correction.. but then I used levels to darken more too to try to get rid of haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudioPopJess Posted March 5, 2024 Author Share Posted March 5, 2024 ok, I may have cropped it in when I was removing the light stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioPopJess Posted March 5, 2024 Author Share Posted March 5, 2024 for example... was trying to fix color and haze in about 50 images and I will remove the light stand on right and crop in if it makes it easier for me.. I didn't think a crop would make a different in color or the haze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never crop AT ALL. Period. https://www.damiensymonds.net/2011/09/cropping-tutorial.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
