All language subtitles for 62 - Quick Develop Exposure Correction

Another important adjustment
we can make to an image in the quick

developed panel is the tone adjustment.

Tone refers to the exposure

level clarity and vibrancy of colors.

Let's break down each adjustment
individually for a better understanding.

Exposure refers to the duration of time

that an image sensor in a DSLR
camera is exposed to light.

If you were using an older film camera,
an SLR camera,

it would be the amount of time
the film is exposed to light.

When we say light,
we're referring to the lighting conditions

in the environment
in which you are taking the photograph.

As a general rule,
if we were to leave all settings constant

but only change the length of exposure
on our image sensor,

a longer exposure
would produce a lighter image,

whereas a shorter exposure
would produce an overall darker image.

Lightroom gives us the ability
to manually adjust exposure

either up or down
to achieve the desired effect.

This is great if you're

shooting environment either
had too much light or not enough clicking.

The left set of arrows
here will make the image darker.

Clicking the right image

will make it lighter.

An efficient way of determining effective

usage of these adjustments
is by looking at the histogram.

A histogram is a graphical
represent version

of the various tones in an image.

Tones can be broken down into blacks
shadows.

Mid tones highlight and whites.

It's important to note
that when we say black, we're

referring to absolute black or 0%
brightness.

When we say white, we're referring
to absolute but white or 100% brightness.

When we shift our exposure to the right,

you'll notice that our lighter tones,
the mid tones to whites

forced the histogram
color balance to the right.

This is because we've

increased our lighter tones.

On the other hand,

if we switch the exposure to the left.

The balance of colors skews

to the left in the histogram.

Typically
we want to maintain a balanced histogram.

This will help avoid any under

or overexposed patches in our image.

That means the bulk of colors
should lie in-between

our darkest and lightest range of colors.

So at this particular

setting we can see that
the histogram is well balanced.
