    How do you remove a shadow completely? I thought that was going to be part of exposure and contrast. Where would I find that video? Thank You for sharing all this information.

    • @clearlyed
      @clearlyed  7 лет назад +1

      ro remove a shadow completely you are going to ave to do a lot of cloning in photoshop. Photoshop levels effects what is there in the image but what you wanting to o is completely remove a shadow, this is something very different. On a side, why would you want to remove a shadow. by removing something created by light you will probably leave the image looking fake.

    • @cathiedavis8439
      @cathiedavis8439 7 лет назад

      Thank you so much, the last thing I want is for the end result to look fake. I guess the real answer is I will need to take another picture with better lighting. I really enjoy your lessons, you make it very easy to understand verses other videos I've found.

    @markharris5771 8 лет назад

    Hi Ed, as usual a brilliant tutorial. Which do you prefer for putting hints of colour in the shadows and highlights, split toning in Lightroom or Levels in Photoshop? I can see in some cases levels are much more powerful than split toning but for shadows and highlights I think Lightroom would be the preferred option?

    • @clearlyed
      @clearlyed  7 лет назад +1

      my pleasure. It is exactly to do with that. less to do with colors and more to do with how a computer renders and sees colors. Happy I have been able to help and you have enjoyed learning photoshop.

  • @nikunjmajithia4284
    @nikunjmajithia4284 7 лет назад +1

    Cool thanks for that, so its to save memory and i remember in school my teacher talking about 256 so 0 which is the pure black one is added on to make it 256 so instead of 256 its 255. and both the 0-255 all together makes up 8bit data so basically the colors are crunched into that

    • @clearlyed
      @clearlyed  7 лет назад

      its not really about crunching them or saving space, its just a type of color space. something color os captured in 8 bit other times its 14 or 16bit. we can see what more color with our eyes this is just a way for our computers to read these colors. But yes 8bit color depth is less that 16 bit.

  • @nikunjmajithia4284
    @nikunjmajithia4284 7 лет назад +1

    Hi sorry, so the color os itself captured the 0-255 color space and that can be done in 8 bit 14 or 16 bit, so 0-255 in 8bit 14 or 16 is how computers then read them and 0 being the black color and 255 being the lightest color that is why when the 255 side is exposed we get more highlights and the output levels changes where we get more or less red in this case o more or less blue as in the output level red start at 0 in the slider above the output level red starts at 255 but when we move the output level red can be at the shadows or vise versa red can be at the highlights and this is thanks to the computers reading for 0-255 for rgb color spectrum which can be done in 8 bit or 16 bit

    • @clearlyed
      @clearlyed  7 лет назад +1

      I think we are getting wayyyyyy to deep into something that I really dont think matters much. Color lives in a 'space' and thats the important part. the greater the bit depth the greater the space. sRGB is the standard and that is produced in 255,255, 255. RGB. Outside of this I think you may need to speed to a professor or something. I really have git my knowledge limit and I dont want to just make stuff up. Love this in depth though process though.

  • @nikunjmajithia4284
    @nikunjmajithia4284 7 лет назад +1

    Hi Ed, thank alot s for the video you are really helpful and very knowledgeable so my understanding is 0 means purely black and 255 means purely whites and 1.00 is midway so its grey area so if we move 1.00 midtone to left we are exposing the highlights more so it becomes lighter and if we move it to the right we are exposing the shadows more so it becomes more black so it can do the changes for us in itself without us needing to move the slider on the far left and slider on the far right But can you please elaborate on why its 0 to 255 like i know 255 means highlights so its a high number but why 255 like the rgb color spectrum contains so many colors so why is it limited to 255. Let me know when you can thanks.

    • @clearlyed
      @clearlyed  7 лет назад +1

      well that is a very technical question but here is a simple overview. Its to do with the way data is stored. a color has to be split into to save on space. RGB 0-255 takes up exactly 1 bite of data which is equal to 8bits. which is why most color is converted to 8bit data when saved to jpeg. I hope this makes sense.

    • @nikunjmajithia4284
      @nikunjmajithia4284 7 лет назад

      +Photos In Color Cool thanks for that, so its to save memory and i remember in school my teacher talking about 256 so 0 which is the pure black one is added on to make it 256 so instead of 256 its 255. and both the 0-255 all together makes up 8bit data so basically the colors are crunched into that

    Great video, thank you. Funny is that you lost me when you modified the image to warm it up, as I thought the colours in the original image were beautiful, especially how the blue in the shirt popped. But then, you said, "...wouldn't necessarily have done that because I loved the image as it first was...", which was instrumental in leading me to click "subscribe"! :)

    Thank you. Once you got into the tutorial it was great, very well explained, however, I must say, I almost switched off in the first 20 - 30 seconds as I HATE over enthusiastic introductions that so many RUclipsrs seem to find essential. I know many Americans do this and as soon as they do, I'm off to find someone else. You are have clearly got a great understanding of your subject and the ability to put it across well, but PLEASE cut out the rather peurile introductions and hyper-enthusiasm, they just detract from what you have to offer.

  • @TCConner
    @TCConner 8 лет назад +3

    You kinda lost me on this Ed. You even stated that you liked the image the way it started, and I did too. Maybe you could've used an image that actually needed levels adjustments.

    • @clearlyed
      @clearlyed  8 лет назад +4

      +TC Conner I can definitely see your point here. I will try to do this in the future. This was purely for demonstration purposes for the photoshop levels adjustment layer. I will try to use more appropriate photos in the future.
