Revised 9\/29\/2012<\/p>\n

When I say processed for intensity, clarity, and sharpness in Lightroom<\/em>, I mean that I have applied a combination of plus Shadow (to fill shadows), minus Blackpoint adjustment (to intensify colors and increase apparent contrast), plus Clarity (to increase local contrast and emphasize detail), and a very small amount of plus Vibrance (which increases or decreases the saturation of primary colors in an image). Finally I sharpen the image using the Sharpen-scenic preset.<\/p>\n

80% of my images get this treatment and I have saved the settings to a preset so I can apply them with one click. \ud83d\ude42 It is my \u201cstandard\u201d preset.<\/p>\n

If I want a more HDR effect, I use more plus Shadow and minus Blackpoint, and increased plus Clarity and Vibrance, and a bit of minus Highlight. This has become my \u201chyperreal\u201d preset. <\/p>\n

( Download HyperReal Lr preset<\/a>. To install drag to your Lightroom Presets Folder. (In preferences>presets> choose \u201cShow Presets Folder\u201d)<\/p>\n

I also have a preset for phone shots.<\/p>\n

On rare occasions I will use the selective HSL tool to pick up a single tone\/color (generally using luminance).<\/p>\n

And on even more rare occasions I will use what I call the dueling \u201cgraduated filter effect\u201d \u2026drawing one GFE down from the top to darken the sky, and one up from the bottom to lighten and clarify the foreground.<\/p>\n

Finally, mostly for forest floor macros, where the brighter background is distracting, I will use the \u201clocal adjustment brush\u201d to paint in the background darker and softer (plus exposure, minus clarity). I set the brush to a medium flow, so I can paint over areas to build up the effect I want. <\/p>\n

I very rarely spend more than 2 minutes per image on processing. Most are processed with a preset in a matter of seconds. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
