When editing photos, you want to adjust the exposure first. Remember, the order of operations is fixed exposure first and color second. That's because as you adjust exposure, things like the saturation in the image will be affected. Author Richard Harring
- One of the first issues I like to tackle…is the general exposure.…Remember, the order of operations…is fix exposure first…and color second.…That's because as you adjust exposure,…things like the saturation in the image will be effected.…I generally find it's a lot easier…to do things in the right order,…so let's tackle the first problem.…I've got about three seconds of frames here,…and this will really allow us to work on some of the shots.…I've paired things down a bit,…so you didn't have as many files to download.…
Now, let's select one of the frames.…And over here for the preview area,…I'll make this a little larger.…We can see how things were shot.…For example, the exposure mode was manual.…And I was using a 35mm lens,…but on a crop sensor,…so it behaved more like a 50.…I can also see what the setting were here for the aperture.…I can tell that I was at F/18,…and that I dialed things in…to a relatively short shutter speed.…Now I was trying to go for a pretty deep depth of field…so everything was in focus.…
You can decide which settings you'd like to use.…
