USING PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM 2 107 Developing photos Highlight clipped areas Clipping indicators are located at the top of the Histogram panel in the Develop module. The black (shadow) clipping indicator is on the left, and the white (highlight) indicator is on the right. • Move the Blacks slider and watch the black clipping indicator. Move the Exposure or Recovery sliders and watch the white clipping indicator. An indicator turns white when clipping in all channels occurs. A colored clipping indicator means one or two channels are clipped. • To preview clipping in the photo, move the mouse over the clipping indicator. Click the indicator to keep the preview on. Clipped black areas in the photo become blue, and clipped white areas become red. View clipped image areas for each channel ❖ Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while moving the Exposure, Recovery, or Blacks slider in the Basic panel of the Develop module. For the Exposure and Recovery sliders, the image turns black, and clipped areas appear white. For the Blacks slider, the image turns white and clipped areas appear black. Colored areas indicate clipping in one color channel (red, green, blue) or two color channels (cyan, magenta, yellow). Set overall color saturation ❖ In the Presence area of the Basic panel, change the color saturation (vividness or color purity) of all colors by adjusting the Clarity, Vibrance, and Saturation controls. (To adjust saturation for a specific range of colors, use the controls in the HSL/Color/Grayscale panel.) Clarity Adds depth to an image by increasing local contrast. When using this setting, it is best to zoom in to 100% or greater. To maximize the effect, increase the setting until you see halos near the edge details of the image, and then reduce the setting slightly. Vibrance Adjusts the saturation so that clipping is minimized as colors approach full saturation, changing the saturation of all lower-saturated colors with less effect on the higher-saturated colors. Vibrance also prevents skin tones from becoming over saturated. Saturation Adjusts the saturation of all image colors equally from -100 (monochrome) to +100 (double the saturation). Fine-tune the tonal scale using the Tone Curve panel The graph in the Tone Curve panel of the Develop module represents changes made to the tonal scale of a photo image. The horizontal axis represents the original tone values of the photo image (input values), with black on the left and progressively lighter values toward the right. The vertical axis represents the changed tone values (output values), with black on the bottom and lighter values progressing to white at the top. Use the tone curve to tweak the adjustments you make to a photo in the Basic panel. Updated 03 September 2009
