Adjusting White Balance of Multiple Photos In Adobe Camera Raw

December 31, 2015

Adjusting White Balance of Multiple Photos In Adobe Camera Raw

I’d like to begin this post by telling you that the techniques I use for batch-adjusting white balance in Camera Raw can be used for any type of editing. For example, if you wanted to edit the saturation or contrast of multiple photos simultaneously, you can follow the instructions I’m about to give you below. I’ve merely chosen to focus on white balance because it’s a popular topic and extremely helpful to those who take many photos under the same light conditions, such as wedding, portrait and food photographers.

In this post, I’m going to use a few sample photos I just took a few minutes ago. I regularly shoot food photography under two distinct light conditions – one, where the light is too warm and two, where the light is too cool. I’m constantly adjusting white balance for these photos. It’s rare that I ever let a single image go through my editing process without evaluating this setting.

If you would like to follow along, you’ll need a gray card.

The test photos I shot for this project were taken in RAW mode. When using RAW mode, there is more information for Camera Raw to use while editing. It can also edit non-destructively, so it’s of value to take photographs this way. And since cameras don’t apply any sort of auto-white balance adjusting while in RAW mode, it’s perfect for our uses today.

My Sample Photos

Like I said, I just took these random shots a few moments ago. I ran around my kitchen looking for items that were somewhat vibrant in color so any differences in white balance were apparent. This is what I came up with:

Sample Photographs

If you look at the above thumbnails in Adobe Bridge closely, you’ll see that there are two batches of photos, each leading with photos of my gray cards. The first group consists of photos 1-6 and the second group consists of photos 7-13. I even named the files appropriately.

Now, if you look at the thumbnails again, more specifically, photos 1 and 7, you’ll see that the gray cards look strikingly different. This is because they are under two different sources of light – the warm and the cool.

Batch Editing White Balance

Since there are only two sources of light, I’m able to edit each group of photos all at once. This is the real benefit to using a gray card. There’s no guessing involved. It is what it is. The trick is to take a single photo of the gray cards under that particular light source before beginning any photography. This way, you’ll have a sure-fire neutral color captured under the light source you’d like to edit from.

To edit the first group, I need to select (click and highlight) each photo in that group and then open them all in Camera Raw by clicking the round Open in Camera Raw button in the top toolbar (circled in red).

Open Files in Camera Raw

After editing this first group, I’ll be repeating this exact step for the second group.

Open Multiple Images

As you can see, the gray card in the above screenshot doesn’t look very gray. It looks more like it’s brown. So it only follows that each object photographed under this light conditions has a degree of inaccurate warmth added to it as well.

By the way, if you’re following along and don’t see the column of thumbnails to the left of the center photo, you need to either double-click on the left panel or click and drag it out to the right. The entire divider is clickable.

Selecting the Images

The begin my editing, I want to select all the photos in the left column. So to do that, I’ll select the first image, which happens to by the one that’s currently displaying in the center panel, hold down Shift on my keyboard and then select the last image in the column.

Selected Thumbnails

If you look in the left column now, you’ll see that all the images are selected. What this means is that whichever edit I make to the image that’s currently displayed in the center panel will be applied across all selected images. In this post, I’ll be editing white balance, but like I mentioned earlier, if I went ahead and made any other edit to this photo, such as saturation, lens distortion correction or exposure, each of those would affect every photo that’s highlighted in the left column.

Choosing the White Balance Tool

The next step is to select the White Balance Tool from the top toolbar.

Select White Balance Tool

It looks like a dropper.

Applying the White Balance Tool

To adjust white balance by using the White Balance Tool, I need to take a color sample of something that’s neutral gray. If I wasn’t using a gray card, I could guess which area of a photo is gray, but since I’m using the card (which is the reason for using it), I can simply go ahead and click anywhere on it. By doing so, the white balance will automatically be corrected in this first photo and every other selected photo. Take a look at the difference.

Corrected White Balance

And if you look closely, all the thumbnail photos have been corrected as well. It’s that easy.

What Next?

From here, I can either save these photos outright or open them in Photoshop for further editing. It’s really up to me. I can even continue on with my editing in Camera Raw.

Batch Editing the Second Group

This group isn’t as much fun. The white balance wasn’t terribly off, so we’re not going to be able to see much of a change. I’ll still go ahead and edit the photos. Let’s take a look at this next group after I launch them in Camera Raw from Bridge.

Second Group of Photos

Now, if I go ahead and select all the photos in the left column and use the White Balance Tool again, we can see the corrected images.

Corrected Second Image Group

Like I said, there isn’t much of a difference. If we look at the values in of the Temperature and Tint sliders over to the right though, we can see that the temperature has changed from 4900 to 4750 and the tint has changed from +17 to +27. Just because we don’t see much of a difference on the computer screen doesn’t mean there won’t be much of a difference in print or another output medium. It’s better to accurate correct white balance than eyeballing it with the risk of being off.

Warming & Cooling Photos in Adobe Camera Raw

December 29, 2015

Warming & Cooling Photos in Adobe Camera Raw

Fixing white balance is usually the first area I work on after I open a photo in Adobe Camera Raw. There’s a reason these particular sliders appear at the top of the list of those included in the Basic panel. There’s little you can do to a photo if the actual color temperature isn’t accurate. Once it’s the way it should be, we can continue on to edit our photos.

I do a lot of indoor photography where I use JPEG mode. I use this mode because my camera takes care of the more nuanced settings for me automatically. Since I use most of my photos for online purposes, many of these settings are, how do I say, less important, than they would be if I were to use the photos for print. Computer monitors and smart phones are more forgiving than billboards along highways. Nevertheless, when I use my camera to capture JPEG files, oftentimes it gets the color balance wrong. The reason for this is primarily due to confusion on the camera’s part. Indoor lighting is notoriously known as a tough customer. Oftentimes, the types and temperatures of lighting are mixed and the camera’s auto white balance feature simply doesn’t understand the photographer’s intent. Because of this, we need to adjust white balance ourselves in an application such as Camera Raw.

I want to take a moment to offer a bit of understanding regarding JPEG and RAW camera modes. While shooting in JPEG mode, camera’s tend to attempt to figure out what’s going on. In RAW mode, they leave that up to the photographer. Because of this, while working in something like Camera Raw, we’ll have fewer options available to us and will end up with lower quality photos when editing JPEG files. While working on RAW files, the sky’s the limit. So, if you can, take your photos in RAW mode and learn all that Camera Raw can truly accomplish. That said, in today’s post, I’ll be editing a JPEG file simply to show you the concept of and how to become familiar with white balance.

Also, in today’s post, much of what I want to convey has to do with color accuracy. After I’m finished with that though, I’m going to touch on color look. While editing my photos, I tend to lean toward warmth as opposed to coolness. For my type of photography, warmth is better received.

My Photo

In today’s post, I’ll be using a stock photo that’s got a nice variety of color. While I take my fair share of food related photographs, I quickly gravitated toward the one I’ll show you in a moment because of its wide range of acceptable temperature and color dynamics. Also, it’s enhances well when the color temperature is adjusted which, in turn, will show you how that setting can significantly affect a photograph.

Food Photography White Balance

White Balance Drop-Down Box

As I mentioned above, the first task photographers need to tackle is to actually correct any error in white balance. There are a number of tools to accomplish this. What we’ll look at in this section is the White Balance Drop-Down.

White Balance Drop-Down Box

In the drop-down box above, there are only two options available. This is because I’m editing a JPEG file that has already had a white balance adjustment applied to it by the camera it was taken with. As I mentioned earlier, if this was a RAW file, there would be many further options.

Currently, we’ve got:

As Shot
Auto
Custom

If this were a RAW file, we’d have:

As Shot
Auto
Daylight
Cloudy
Shade
Tungsten
Fluorescent
Flash
Custom

Almost all of these options assumes the camera didn’t accurately capture the correct white balance. If we focus on the RAW file options for a moment, we can see that if the photo were taken on a cloudy day, for example, and the camera didn’t recognize that fact, it can be corrected by clicking on the Cloudy selection. This will either cool or warm the colors in the photograph. Each of the remaining options are similar to the one I used in my example, where they would somehow alter the white balance and/or tint.

White Balance Tool

For a more accurate white balance correction, we can use the White Balance Tool. This is located in the top toolbar.

White Balance Tool

The trick with this tool is to use it alongside an area in the photo that’s determined to be of a neutral shade. Oftentimes, this is challenging to determine, especially when the colors are dramatically skewed one way or the other. For this reason, many photographers use gray cards in their photography. Gray cards offer the photographer a point of reference that they are assured is neutral. If you aren’t familiar with this concept, please take a look at this resource:

Get your White Balance Right in Seconds Using Grey Card

I’ve even written a section on this site that talks about gray cards:

Using a White Balance Grey Card

If a gray card isn’t available, you could always try to find a neutral area in the photograph to click on. The issue with this is that some areas are more neutral than others, if that’s even possible. What I’m trying to say is that the more you click around inside a photo with the White Balance Tool, the more you’ll see variations in color.

I’ll show you a few examples. First, I’ll click an area inside of the spoon at the left side of the photo that looks neutral. Here is the result.

White Balance Adjustment

As you can see, the value in the Temperature slider stayed at 0, while the value in the Tint slider fell to -24. There’s also a blueish hue to the entire photo.

If I choose a different area to click on – say an area inside the other spoon that sits on the other side of the photo, perhaps the result will be more accurate.

Aqua Hue

Well that’s not very good. It’s for this reason, I don’t just randomly use the White Balance Tool. I always like to end up with an accurate reading. Gray cards only cost a few dollars.

Next, I’ll simply click into the white of the bowl. I know this is supposed to be white and perhaps we’ll get a better result.

White Balance Tool Adjustment

Ah, that’s better. As you can see, the photo looks more appropriate and the value in the Temperature slider has risen to +11 and the value in the Tint slider has risen to +19. This is a good starting point for the next section.

Adjusting the Sliders

For most of my editing, I manually use the sliders to adjust white balance and tint. I know the way I’d like to see the photo and I can easily give it the look I want. And as I mentioned above, for most of my photos, I like them to feel warm.

Since I think the white balance is currently fairly accurate, I can go ahead and move the Temperature and Tint sliders back and forth, until I achieve the feel I’m after. Many photographers take this step after they’ve used their gray card to first correct any out of whack color cast. In this example, I just happened to get lucky by using the White Balance Tool and clicking on the white bowl.

Warming Photograph Using White Balance

It’s pretty obvious that I warmed this photograph quite a bit by adjusting the sliders. Right now, it looks good, but I would probably go back and adjust things further after I played with a few other sliders and panels. Editing is always a work in progress and one adjustment can easily affect another.

These are the most basic methods of adjusting a photograph’s white balance using Camera Raw. Of course, you’d probably want your camera to handle much of this task, but if, for some reason, you ended up with an inaccurate color cast in some photos or simply wanted to alter their feel, the White Balance and Tint sliders are perfectly acceptable tools to use.

Applying Labels & Ratings to Photos in Adobe Bridge

December 27, 2015

Applying Labels & Ratings to Photos in Adobe Bridge

Separating and applying designations to photos in any photo management application is a must. With the volume of photographs being taken in today’s digital world, learning how to manage, identify and reduce the sheer number of them is more important than ever. Luckily, the developers of computer programs, such as Adobe Bridge and Lightroom, know this and have given us ample tools to complete these types of tasks.

In this post, I’m going to discuss the various methods of rating and labeling photos in Bridge. While each method achieves the same result, we have different ways of going about it. They simply depend on our preferences. Some folks like to use keyboard shortcuts while others enjoy clicking around with their mouses. I’ll talk about each below.

My Example Photos

I’ve been compiling an archive of edited photos that I’ve been posting to my other blog. These photos have come in extremely handy, due to my need for them over here. I think the ever-growing photo collection is colorful, fun and lets my readers connect easily with what I write in these posts. After all, it’s very realistic, since I used these applications and photos every day for my own work.

Example Photo Collection

Clicking Thumbnail Area To Rate

This is, by far, the most simple method of applying any star rating to a photograph. If you’re into mere quality indication, this may be for you.

If you’d like to tell Bridge to rate a thumbnail somewhere on the scale between 0 and 5, all you need to do is to click to select the thumbnail and then click on one of the 5 small dots below the thumbnail itself (once you select the thumbnail, the dots will appear).

Applying Star Rating To Thumbnail

If you look at the screenshot above, you’ll notice that after I clicked on the rating I desired, the rating itself appeared. It also appears under the thumbnail in the upper right corner.

If I want to change a star rating, all I need to do is to click the new rating placeholder. If I want to bring the rating back to no stars, I would click to the left of the first star.

Using the “Label” Menu

If I head up to the Label menu at the top of the application, I could accomplish the same goal as above. I could select a thumbnail by clicking on it, then click on the Label menu item and then choose my star rating.

Label Menu Star Rating

Again, if I wanted to change a rating that’s already been applied, I could simply choose a new rating and the old would be overwritten. To remove the rating altogether using this method, I would click on the No Rating menu item in the same area.

Here is something really neat. If I wanted to label a thumbnail or photo with a specific message or color, I could use the Label menu to do so as well.

Applying Label to Thumbnail or Photo

Take a look at the screenshot above. Right below all the star ratings in the Label menu are specific messages. These messages are associated with colors. If I choose a message, the area below the thumbnail in the center column changes color. In my case, I clicked on the Review message, which changed the color below the thumbnail to blue.

Changing the Message

I have a small problem. I don’t have any idea what Review means. The variety of messages or labels I see under the Label menu were pre-programmed into Bridge when I installed it and I’d like to change them. I want it to simply tell me which color I’m applying to the thumbnail, instead of offering words. Below, I’ll go about editing those labels.

If I go up to the Edit > Preferences menu and click, I should see a dialog box appear.

Edit Preferences Menu

Inside this, if I click on Labels in the left column, I should see something that look familiar. It’s the messages with their respective colors attached to them.

Preferences Dialog Box

I’m sure you know where I’m going with this. To change a message, all I need to do is edit what’s inside the fields to the right of the colors. In my case, I’d like to indicate with color I’m choosing under the Label menu. So I’ll edit accordingly.

Once that’s finished, I’ll click the OK button and return to the Labels menu up top.

Edit Preferences Labels Dialog Box

Let’s see if my changes stuck.

Applying Label

Yes, they did. As you can see above, I’ve got a new set of messages to choose from and I went ahead and chose Red, which changed my original color (label) from blue to red. If I wanted to remove any color that’s applied to a thumbnail, I would choose No Label. Also, please be aware that you can enter any message you’d like, so get creative and customize your application any way you wish.

Using Keyboard Shortcuts

As you may have noticed, when I pulled down the Label menu, there were keyboard shortcuts listed to the right of every selection I could click on with my mouse. Let’s take a look at the Label menu again.

Label Menu Keyboard Shortcuts

Basically, for every item I can click on, I can use my keyboard for application as well. For example, if I wanted to apply a one star rating to a photo, I’d click Ctrl+1 on my keyboard. If I wanted to label it green, I would click on Ctrl+8.

Rating Label Keyboard Shortcuts

It’s really that simple.

One last thing. I’m not sure if you noticed this while we were looking around the Edit > Preferences > Labels dialog box, but there’s an option to turn off the Ctrl portion of those keyboard shortcuts. So, if you merely wanted to click on a particular number alone to apply a rating or label, you could. All you would need to do is uncheck the Require the Control Key to Apply Labels and Ratings box. I’ll do that below. Please notice how the Ctrl+1, 2, 3, etc… change to 1, 2, 3…etc to the right of the colors and labels.

Altering Keyboard Shortcuts in Preferences Labels Dialog Box

When finished, click on OK and go about rating and labeling thumbnails and photos with your new keyboard shortcuts.

How To Filter By Keyword in Adobe Lightroom

December 23, 2015

How To Filter By Keyword in Adobe Lightroom

If you’re interested in adding keywords to photos, please take a look at my previous Lightroom post. I discussed a few good topics surrounding this idea. I actually even talked about one method of how to filter photos by keyword there as well. In this post though, I’d like to go a bit further. Not too much further, because the entire body of knowledge necessary to accomplish this task is small. Nevertheless, if you’d like to use Lightroom to its fullest potential, this is something you’ll need to know.

As I just mentioned, in this post, I’ll cover how to filter photos by keyword. Of course, we can only filter those photos that have had keywords previously applied to them. So if you’re following along, please be sure to have added some metadata to the photos in your collection.

My Photos

As in some of my previous posts, I’ll be working with my photos from Washington Oaks State Park in Palm Coast, Florida. I’ve already got my catalog open and ready to go.

Lightroom Catalog

Keyword List Panel

Even though I covered this in my last post, I’ll quickly go over it once more here. To quickly and easily filter photos by keyword, you can use the Keyword List panel. I’ve outlined this panel in the second screenshot below.

If this panel isn’t available to you in the right column, you can activate it by going to the top menu and choosing Window > Panel > Keyword List Panel.

Window Panel Keyword List Panel

In this panel, you can see that I clicked on the Leaves keyword. If I hover over that keyword, a small white arrow will appear on the right side of it. If I click that small white arrow, all thumbnails in the center column will disappear, except for the ones with that keyword applied to it.

Keyword List Panel

Filter Bar

A more thorough method of filtering photos is through the Filter Bar. To activate the Filter Bar for view, simply head back up to the top menu and click on View > Show Filter Bar.

View Show Filter Bar

Once you do that, the bar will appear above the thumbnails in the center column.

Filter Bar

If you click on the Metadata link that’s contained inside the top row of the Filter Bar, you’ll see some boxes appear below. The box we’re currently concerned with is all the way to the left and it’s called Keyword.

Filter Bar Keyword

Depending on how many keywords you’ve got applied to your photos, you may or may not be able to scroll this box. In my case, I can. And as an example, I clicked on the Outdoors keyword, which returned just those photographs that have that keyword applied to them. You can see this in the above screenshot.

Now, the reason I mentioned that this method was more thorough its Keyword List panel counterpart is because the Filter Bar has a lot of options available to us. In the future, we’ll go over all of these, but for right now, just know that the Keywords box is the one to use when filtering photographs by applied keyword.

Using Groups in the Adobe Photoshop Layer Panel

December 20, 2015

Using Groups in the Adobe Photoshop Layer Panel

When it comes to Photoshop, I’m an organization freak. As I’ve mentioned in another post on this website, when working on large files with many layers, things can get out of control – fast. It’s of the utmost importance that these things be tamed. The good news is that the fine creators of this program have given us ample tools to do just that. One of these tools is having the ability to create something called groups inside the Layer panel.

In this post, I’ll explain what groups are and how they can benefit you. I’ll also show some examples of how to create a group, how to add files to it and how to delete it. So, if you like organization as much as I do, read on!

Opening Files as Layers

If you aren’t well versed with how to open files as layers, I encourage you to visit this post. I just wrote it yesterday, so it’s incredibly relevant. Just give the first section a quick once over and then stop back here. In the meantime, I’ll go ahead and open about 10 files as layers in Photoshop to use as examples for this post.

Layers Loaded into Photoshop

By the way, the photos I loaded above are some that were taken for my cooking blog. I’ve been making lots of great recipes and taking photos the entire time. The photo in the screenshot above is of a delicious mac and cheese recipe. If you like rich macaroni and cheese, you really need to check that one out!

Anyway, as you can see, I’ve got ten layers (photos) now loaded into the Layers panel.

Creating Groups

Now, I don’t know about you, but looking at all these layers confuses me. I know that some of the photos are of raw ingredients, some are of in-process cooking and some are of the final product. I’d like to group together as many of these photos so things are easier on the eyes. Before I go any further though, I’d like to mention on thing – by grouping together layers like I’m about to do, nothing actually happens to them. They aren’t altered in any way. This is merely an organization strategy that allows for a more minimal view, as well as an opportunity to move groups of layers in the work space simultaneously, as opposed to moving them one at a time.

To create a new group, I’ll simply click the small folder icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. This will create a generically named group up near the layers themselves.

Create Layer Group in Adobe Photoshop

Naming a Group

To name a group, I’ll double-click in the name area and insert whatever I’d like to call it. After I create two more groups, I’ll name them appropriately.

Naming Groups in the Layer Panel Inside Adobe Photoshop

As you can see, I’ve now got “Raw Ingredients,” In Process” and “Final Product.” I also hid the top layer to mix up the photos we’re looking at in the screenshot. Since I’ve got ten of them, may as well keep things interesting.

To edit a named group, simply double-click the name area again and repeat the steps above.

Moving Layers into Groups

To move layers into groups to begin organizing, all I need to do is to click on a layer and drag it into a group folder. This is just like dragging files around into folders on my computer. I’ll go ahead and drag the photos I would like to see in each group.

Grouped Layers in Adobe Photoshop

As you can see in the above screenshot, I dragged my photos around a bit. I now have things the way I want them. The only problem is, in this format, I’ve only made more of a mess. To really organize, I need to collapse each group. I’ll do this by clicking on the small arrow to the left of each group name.

Collapsed Groups in Adobe Photoshop

Removing Layers From a Group

To remove a layer from a group or to move the layer into another group, all I would need to do is to click and drag that layer into the Layers panel itself or into the group I’d like to move it to. I won’t include a screenshot for this one because it’s fairly straightforward. It’s almost exactly how you would do it when working in your operating system on your computer.

Reordering Groups

I’m not going to offer a screenshot for this one either because it’s crazy easy. To reorder groups, meaning to stack the enclosed layers in a different manner, I would click and drag the group layer itself to a different position in the Layers panel. It’s that easy.

Alternative Method For Adding Layers to a Group

I’m going to remove all of my layer from the groups I created and then I’m going to delete the groups. Don’t worry, I’ll show you how to delete a group in a moment. What I’d like to do right now is to start from the beginning again. I want to show you a different method of adding layers to a group. A very easy method.

Let’s say I want to add the “Finished Product” layers to a group called “Finished Product,” but I haven’t created that group yet. To do so by using a method that’s faster than the one I demonstrated above, I would simply click on the layers I intend on adding to the new group.

Highlighted Layers in Adobe Photoshop

You can see which layers I clicked on because they are highlighted. At this point, to create a group, I can either click on the small folder icon again or I can use a keyboard shortcut. The shortcut is Ctrl-G. Once I complete either of those actions, the layers I selected and highlighted earlier will immediately be inserted into a new group. The group won’t have a name yet, so I’ll need to name it.

Named Group

As you can see, I named the group “Finished Product” by following the instructions I gave earlier in this post.

Deleting a Group

This is where I need to be careful. If I’d like to delete a group, but preserve the layers that are inside of it, I’ll need to remove those layer from the group before I go any further. Once the layers are removed, I can go ahead and drag that group down to the small trash can at the bottom of the Layers panel. If I wanted to use my keyboard to perform the same action, I could simply click the Delete key.

If I had layers in a group that I didn’t need any more, I could just go ahead and delete the group with those layers still inside of it. By doing this, I’d be deleting everything in one step.

Deleting Group

After I perform either of these steps, the group and layers within it will be gone.

How Can I Arrange Multiple Photos in Adobe Photoshop?

December 19, 2015

How Can I Arrange Multiple Photos in Adobe Photoshop?

If you’ve ever wanted to create a file that contained multiple images in a certain pattern, you surely know that there are quite a few steps to follow. It’s not as simple as opening up some photo tabs and arranging those photos together. If you want precision and accuracy, you’ll need to follow the proper workflow, which I’ll cover below.

In this post, I’ll discuss the steps necessary to import photos, create guides, transform those photos and align them in a specific arrangement. While none of these steps are particularly advanced, they do require careful execution.

Opening Multiple Photos Into Photoshop

I discussed how to open files as layers in a previous post, but for the sake of completeness, I’ll go over it again.

The first thing I’m going to do is to open Adobe Bridge and select the files I’m interested in opening into Adobe Photoshop. I’ve done this in the screenshot below.

Selecting Files in Adobe Bridge

Once those thumbnails are highlighted, I can head up to the “Tools > Photoshop > Load Files into Photoshop Layers” and click.

Load Files into Photoshop Layers Menu

After I click that menu item, I’ll be transported into Photoshop where my photos can be seen as layers in a new file.

Files Imported as Layers into Photoshop

I think we can all admit that this is a very handy feature.

Creating a Guide Layout

I’m not going to get into document size or anything like that in this post. I’m going to leave the canvas size exactly as it was set to as I was importing the images. This will keep things focused on what I’d like to cover.

My goal for this project is to arrange the photos in a square, where two images are on top and two are on bottom. To do this, I’m going to need to use some guides.

To take advantage of the most precise guide layout as possible, I’m going to go to the “View > New Guide Layout” menu item and select it.

View New Guide Layout in Adobe Photoshop

After I click that, I’ll be presented with a dialog box that asks for a bunch of information. I’ll also see a guide layout already set up for me. Take a look.

New Guide Layout Dialog Box in Adobe Photoshop

Since all I need are two rows and two columns, I’ll enter some new data. I’d also like a gutter and margin.

Editing New Guide Layout Dialog Box

If you look at the above screenshot closely, you’ll see that I created guides that would cover two columns and two rows with a five percent gutter. I also created five percent margins all the way around.

Selecting Layers

I’m almost ready to begin resizing the photographs so they fit into the placeholders that I made with my guides. By the way – I just wanted to let you know, I totally got lucky while creating those placeholders. Somehow, the resized photos are going to fit almost exactly.

Anyway, I wanted to share a really neat tip for selecting layers in Photoshop, especially while they are stacked. As you can see in the Layers panel from a screenshot above, I’ve got four layers. As you can also see from the following screenshots, I can only see one of those layers in the work area. The top layer is completely covering the visibility of the layers beneath it.

There are a few methods of quickly selecting a particular layer. I’m sure you already know that you can go over to the Layers panel and click on one of them. Once you do that, you’ll be able to move that layer around with the Move Tool. A not so known method for accomplishing the same task is to right click on the top layer (right inside the canvas area) and choose one of the layer selections. Take a look at the screenshot below to see what I’m talking about.

Select Layer in Adobe Photoshop

If I select a layer using this method, I can begin to manage that layer quickly. Note – in order for Photoshop to give you a layer selection to choose from, you need to right click over physical layers. You can’t click in an empty area because nothing will be returned.

Resizing the Layers

I’m ready to begin resizing each of my layers. There is something important I need to set first. This is the Snap feature. By using Snap, I won’t need to micro-manage my minute movements when I get the corner of one of my layers next to a guide. Photoshop will “snap” it to its rightful place. To activate the Snap feature, I need to head up to the View > Snap menu and make sure it’s checked off. If it isn’t, I’ll click it to do so.

View Snap Menu in Adobe Photoshop

Now, I’m ready to begin resizing each layer. To do this, I’ll need to select the layer I’d like to work on and then go to the Edit > Free Transform menu item and click on it.

Edit Free Transform Tool in Adobe Photoshop

After that, I can click somewhere inside the layer work area and move the corner of the layer to the corner of the area I’d like to resize it to fit. As I do this, I’ll notice that the layer snaps to the guide.

Layer Snap to Guide in Adobe Photoshop

Once the layer is moved into location, I can go down to the lower right corner (in this current case) and, while holding down the Shift key to maintain proportion, click and drag the corner up until it fits in the guide outline.

Resized Layer Using Free Transform in Adobe Photoshop

After the layer is sized the way I’d like to see it, I can go ahead and click Enter on my keyboard to apply the resizing. To resize the remaining layers, I’ll simply follow the above instructions for each one.

Resized & Arranged Layers

Aligning the Layers

Now, I know the layers look really good the way they’re currently arranged. The thing is, I’m very particular about these things. Because of me being so particular, I’d like to align both images in each row with one another.

To align layers, I’ll need to select both of the layers in question. To do this, I’ll click on the first layer in my first row in the Layers panel, then click my Ctrl key on my keyboard and finally, I’ll select the second layer in the row. It’ll look something like this:

Selected Layers in Layers Panel in Adobe Photoshop

From here, I’ll be sure the Move Tool is selected and I’ll head up to the options bar and select Align Top Edges. This will place both layers along the same X axis.

Align top Edges in Adobe Photoshop

To align the two bottom photos, I’d select those two layers and do the same thing.

I know there is much more I can do to these layers, such as align them to their left or right and trim any excess material they may have, but I’ll save all that for a later post. For right now, this is a good start.

Adjusting Hue, Saturation & Luminance in Adobe Camera Raw

December 14, 2015

Adjusting Hue, Saturation & Luminance in Adobe Camera Raw

In today’s post, I’m going to be adjusting some of the sliders in the HSL/Grayscale panel to see what kind of effect they will have on a few example photos. If you aren’t aware, “HSL” stands for Hue, Saturation and Luminance. Let me give you some definitions of exactly what these are below.

Hue – A color or shade.

Saturation – The intensity of a color.

Luminance – The brightness or darkness of a color.

I’m sure there are some more involved definitions out there, but I’m really trying to keep things simple here. And as we go through this post, you’ll see exactly how each of the sliders in the tabs inside of the HSL panel can affect a photograph. First though, let’s take a look at the HSL panel itself.

HSL/Grayscale Panel in Adobe Camera Raw

Saturation Tab

I’d like to kick things off inside the Saturation tab, so if you’re following along, please click into that. If you’ll notice, inside this tab, we’ve got eight sliders. They range from red to green to magenta. The idea behind each slider is to adjust the amount of saturation, or intensity, for that specific color. For example, in our demonstration photo, we’ve got some flower petals that are primarily colored red and orange. I’ll go ahead and lessen (slide to the left) both of those colors.

Low Saturation Red Orange in Adobe Camera Raw

As you can see, I’ve desaturated the flower petals.

If I reset those two sliders and increase the yellow and green colors by moving their sliders all the way to the right, we can see that the flower stems will become much more saturated.

High Saturation Yellow Green in Adobe Camera Raw

Inside the Saturation tab, there’s a fairly wide spectrum of colors to adjust, so you can potentially have a far reaching impact if you make the proper adjustments.

Luminance Tab

Let’s mix things up a bit and change flowers. Let’s also head into the Luminance tab to see if we can brighten and darken some colors. Take a look at the screenshot below to view our original flower.

Adjusting Color Flower in Adobe Camera Raw

As you can see, we’ve got the same variety of colors to adjust back and forth. If you click between the Saturation and Luminance tabs, you’ll notice a small change. Where the Saturation slider alter the intensity of color, the Luminance sliders alter the brightness of color. To view this clearly, look at each end of the color sliders. Let’s see if we can adjust something.

Besides white, I’d say this flower photo is primarily made up of reds, greens and yellows. Let’s move those particular sliders all the way to the left to darken the colors.

Darkening Red, Green & Yellow Luminance in Adobe Camera Raw

I’d say that actually looks pretty neat. We significantly transformed the visual effect of this photo.

Let’s do the opposite and brighten these three colors by moving the sliders all the way to the right.

Brightening Red, Green & Yellow Luminance in Adobe Camera Raw

Now, instead of darkening those three colors, we’ve essentially “whitened” them. Again, this gives the photo an entirely different look.

Hue Tab

The Hue tab is a strange one in that it gives us the ability to actually change a color. If we have pure red roses, we can change the red color to orange, magenta or somewhere in between. The same is true if we have a flower with yellow petals. Within the Hue tab, we can change the yellow so it’s more orange or green. I’ve used this tab quite a bit and let me tell you that you can come up with some interesting combinations by moving the sliders contained inside.

I found the perfect photo to exemplify what I’m referring to. It’s sort of a purple flower. Take a look.

Adjusting Purple Flower in Adobe Camera Raw

For this example, I’m only going to adjust one slider – the purple one. This slider gives me the opportunity to change any purple inside the image to either blue or magenta. Let’s turn the purple to blue first by moving the slider all the way to the left.

Purple to Blue Hue in Adobe Camera Raw

Wow, I’d say that’s a change. Now, let’s move the slider to the right so our purple flower turns magenta.

Purple to Magenta Hue in Adobe Camera Raw

I’m not sure which one looks better. I like them both. I think you get the idea here that this is a very powerful tab inside the HSA panel. I also hope I’ve given you some sufficient background into the workings and possibilities of it as well.

Fixing a Crooked Image in Adobe Camera Raw

December 11, 2015

Fixing a Crooked Image in Adobe Camera Raw

To be honest, I flip back and forth between the “Straighten Tool” in Camera Raw and the same one in Photoshop. They both work pretty much the same way. I guess it depends on my mood. If you’re interested in how to straighten a photo in Photoshop, check out this post:

How To Straighten a Photo Using Adobe Photoshop

If you’re interested in how to straighten an image in Camera Raw, read on.

In this post, I’ll be covering the “Straighten Tool” (Ctrl A) in Adobe Camera Raw. With my example photograph, I’ll show you exactly how to go about fixing a crooked horizon. I’ve got the perfect image too – the sun setting over NYC. If there was ever anything level, it’s the background in this picture.

My Image

First, I’ve got to show you my crooked image. To be fair, the horizon line in this photo used to be level and straight. I purposefully rotated it so it was ultra obvious that our work was actually correcting something. For the rest of this post, keep your eye on the background.

Crooked Image in Adobe Camera Raw

The Straighten Tool

The Straighten Tool in Camera Raw really comes with two parts. One straightens an image automatically and one straightens manually. I always prefer to fix anything I’m working on like this manually because I actually find it fun. Also, if there isn’t a distinct line in a photo, Camera Raw can have trouble discerning which areas it’s trying to level out.

Auto-Straighten

If I head up to the top menu and find the Straighten Tool, I can click it twice to straighten my photo. In this case, it did a very good job.

Auto Straighten in Adobe Camera Raw

In the above screenshot, I circled the Straighten Tool. I also left the image with the Crop Tool still in effect. If I wanted to apply the auto-correction, I would simply hit “Enter” on my keyboard or double-click my mouse pointer somewhere inside the crop area. I’m not going to do that right now because I want to show you the manual straightening option first.

Manually Straighten

If I return to the Straighten Tool up top and click just once on the tool, I’ll find that my cursor changes to a small triangle. If I go to one side of the horizon and move the left point of the triangle as close as I can to the actual horizon line and hold down, I can drag over to the other side of the horizon. When I do this, Camera Raw creates a line that extends with the pointer. When I get to the other side of the line I’m attempting to straighten, I can let go, which makes the image look just like it did above with the auto-straighten option.

Straighten Tool in Adobe Camera Raw

In the above screenshot, I left the line hanging out in the sky so you could see it. Right after I grabbed the shot, I dropped it in the proper area. When Camera Raw made the crop area, I double-clicked inside of it and here is the resulting image.

Straightened Crooked Photograph in Adobe Camera Raw

I think that looks pretty good.

Rotating the Crop Tool

We do have another option when it comes to straightening photographs in Adobe Camera Raw. This is the one I used to take advantage of all the time, before either Adobe released the Straighten Tool or before I realized it was available to me. Basically, if I click on the Crop Tool up in the top menu and highlight the horizon area inside the image, I can move my mouse outside of the crop area. Once I do that, my mouse pointer will change into a semi-circle, which I’m able to rotate.

Crop Area Inside Adobe Camera Raw

As you can see, the moment I begin rotating, a grid appears that lets me see how the crop area relates to the horizon line.

Now, once everything lines up, I can grab the handles of the crop area and pull the sides to the edges so I maintain as much of the photo as possible.

Fixing a Crooked Photo With the Crop Tool

Finally, I’ll double-click inside the crop area again and end up with the straightened image, just as I did in the previous section.

Using the Upright Tool

If you remember back to my post on lens correction, you’ll recall the “Upright Tool.” This is an extremely handy tool that can easily straighten out a horizon, such as the one in my photo.

To find this tool, go to the “Lens Corrections” panel and then the “Manual” tab. From there, you’ll see a small button in the “Upright” section that says “Level: Apply Only Level Correction” if you roll over it. Currently, it’s the center button.

Upright Level Correction in Adobe Camera Raw

If I click that center button, Camera Raw will level out my photo automatically.

Using the Rotate Tool

Lastly, we can use the “Rotate Tool” to straighten a crooked photo. If we stay in the same panel, but go all the way down to the bottom, we’ll see a small check box that says “Show Grid.” It’s right next to a slider that allows you to adjust the grid box size.

If we check that box off and then go up a bit to the “Rotate” slider, you’ll see that we can drag that slider back and forth in order to rotate the image. This slider, coupled with the grid, makes it really simple to see when the image is level.

Rotate Slider & Show Grid in Adobe Camera Raw

After the photo is leveled the way we want, we’ll need to use the Crop Tool to crop out those empty corners.

Adding Photos To Collections in Adobe Bridge

December 10, 2015

Adding Photos To Collections in Adobe Bridge

Adobe Lightroom has a lot going on collection-wise. The application is actually quite robust in that regard. Believe it or not, Bridge is pretty much just as robust in the collection arena. You can do many of the same tasks as what you can do in Lightroom and what’s very pleasant is that the two applications are almost identical when it comes to setting things up and managing them. If you’re interested in collections as they pertain to Lightroom, please feel free to read the following posts:

Creating Collection Sets in Adobe Lightroom

Targeted & Smart Collections in Adobe Lightroom

How To Create a Collection in Adobe Lightroom

Some of the information in the above posts overlaps with itself, but rest assured, you’ll get your fill on the topic.

In this post, I’m going to kick off the conversation about collections in Adobe Bridge. Bridge has quickly become my favorite photo manager and organizer over the past few months and it seems that every time I turn around, I’m learning something new about it. It’s seamless and truly helps my workflow.

The Collections Panel

The first thing we have to do when dealing with collections in Bridge is to locate the “Collections” panel. If it’s not already exposed over on the left side, you can go up to the “Window > Collections Panel” menu and click. That will display it – most likely nested with the “Filter” panel.

Window Collections Panel in Adobe Bridge

Creating a Collection

Let’s go ahead and create our first collection. This is super easy, so it should be fun. If you take a look at the bottom of the Collections panel, you should see a few small icons. If you roll over the one towards the center, you’ll see a small notification pop up that says “New Collection.” Click that and you should see an empty collection appear in the panel. If you see a popup box that asks whether or not you’d like to include the selected thumbnails in the collection, for now, say no. In the next screenshot, I’ll highlight the new collection as well as the icon you’d press to make this appear.

Creating New Collection in Adobe Lightroom

Naming the Collection

To name the collection we just created, simply click into the area that holds the name and begin typing. When finished, hit “Enter” on your keyboard. To edit the name, simply click into the name area again and do the same thing. This is a very flexible feature.

Naming a Collection in Adobe Bridge

Deleting a Collection

If you don’t want a collection anymore, you can easily delete it. To do so, click on the collection you’d like to delete and then click the small trash can icon at the bottom of the Collections panel. Once you do this, a small popup box will appear, asking you if you’re sure. Click “Yes” and your collection will vanish.

Delete Collection in Adobe Bridge

At this point, I want to make you aware of something – any photos you add to any collection aren’t actually stored there. Every photo remains in its original folder location on your hard drive. You can create and delete collections all day long and never affect any photograph. When you create a collection and store photos in it, you’re merely storing “references” to those photos for organization’s sake.

Adding Photos To a Collection

There are a few different methods for adding photos to a collection. The first is to add them as you’re creating the collection itself. I’ll start off with a blank slate here and show you how to do this.

The first thing I’m going to do is to select the thumbnails I’d like to add to a new “Kitchen Equipment” collection.

Selected Thumbnails in Adobe Bridge

Once those thumbnails are selected, I can click on the “New Collection” icon and wait for the popup to appear. When asked if I’d like to include the selected photos in the new collection, I would click “Yes.”

Include New Photos in Collection in Adobe Bridge

Once I do that, I’ll name my collection the same way I did in one of the previous sections and hit enter. I’ll then be left inside the new collection, looking at the photos I had selected earlier.

Kitchen Equipment Collection in Adobe Bridge

Another method of adding photos to a collection is to create the collection first, just like we did originally in this post and then select and drag any thumbnails into it. Let’s go back to the screen with all the thumbnails and work from there. If I already have the collection created and waiting for me in the Collections panel, I’ll merely click and drag those three thumbnails into it.

Dragging Photos into Collection in Adobe Bridge

This type of action is very similar to clicking and dragging files around inside your operating system.

So, the lesson here is: if you have thumbnails that are selected, you can easily add them to a collection that isn’t created yet or add them to a collection that’s already existing. It’s up to you, depending on your situation.

Removing Photos From a Collection

If you’d like to remove photos from a collection without deleting the entire thing, all you need to do is, while inside the collection, select the thumbnails you’d like to remove and then click on the button up top that says “Remove From Collection.” This will immediately remove any photos that were selected.

How To Add Keywords To Photos in Adobe Lightroom

December 8, 2015

How To Add Keywords To Photos in Adobe Lightroom

I’ve already talked a bit about keywords in both Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Bridge. Basically, the “keyword” feature allows users to identify their images by way of characters. If you apply a keyword to an image, you’ll ultimately have the ability to filter though all of your images to locate just the one with that specific keyword attached to it. If you apply the same keyword to multiple images and then filter once more, those multiple images will be returned. Think of how a search engine on the internet works. It’s almost the same idea.

If you’d like to review my previous posts on the topic, you can do so by following the links below.

Adding Keywords in Adobe Bridge

Develop Settings, Metadata & Keywords in Adobe Lightroom

In this post, I’m going to share how to go about applying keywords to images in Lightroom. I’ll warn you now – it’s extremely simple. After I’m finished covering how to apply keywords, I’ll quickly demonstrate how we can easily filter some images by using the keywords we added.

My Collection

As an example photo gallery in this post, I’ll be using my trusted “Washington Oaks State Park” images. I’ve used these before on this website and they’ve work out well. I’ll give you a screenshot of what they look like below.

Example Photo Gallery in Adobe Lightroom

Displaying the Keyword Panel

In order to apply a keyword or keywords to a photo, we’ll need to first open up the “Keywording” panel over at the right side of the application. To open the panel, all we need to do is to click on the small white arrow that’s sitting at the side of the panel title.

Keywording Panel in Adobe Lightroom

Applying Keywords

There are a few different methods of applying keywords to an image. Each method requires that you select at least one photo, so in our case, I’ll click on the thumbnail of the red flower in the upper left corner. Once an image is selected, I can head over to the Keywording panel and type in one word at a time in the small field that says “Click here to add keywords.” To apply the keyword to the photo, you can either hit enter or merely click away from that field.

Applying Keyword to Photo in Adobe Lightroom

Editing a Keyword

There’s most likely going to come a time when you make a mistake filling in one or more of your keywords. It sure would be nice to have a way to correct the mistake, or to remove the keyword all together. Luckily, we have a method to accomplish this.

If you look directly above the field I indicated earlier, you’ll see a larger field that holds all of the inputted keywords. If you click right inside that larger field, you should see that the words will become editable. From here, all that needs to be done is what you expect – edit or remove the words.

Editing & Removing Keywords in Adobe Lightroom

Adding Multiple Keywords

The really neat thing about Adobe Lightroom is that it’s quite flexible. If you’d like to add multiple keywords, you can do so in either field I’ve already shown (the small or the large). The only thing you need to be aware of is that the keywords need to be comma separated.

Adding Multiple Keywords in Adobe Lightroom

Choosing Keywords From a List

This is where all your hard work begins to pay off. After a while, you’ll notice that you’re adding the same keywords over and over again. For instance, I’ve already added the words “Leaves” and “Outdoors” for the two photos I’ve chosen as examples. It’s surely going to get tiresome typing all these repetitive keywords as time goes on.

A quick and easy way to apply already existing keywords to photos is to expand the “Keyword List” panel.

Keyword List Panel in Adobe Lightroom

In this panel, you’ll see all existing keywords. To apply one of them to a photo, all you need to do is select the thumbnail and then click the little check box that’s to the right of the keyword itself.

Filtering Photos by Keyword

As if things couldn’t get any cooler, we’re going to get to that point. I now have three example photos in this post that I’ve applied various keywords to. I’ve applied two of those keywords to all three photos. Get this – with just one click of the mouse, I can filter those photos out from all the rest.

In order to filter out keyworded photographs, I’ll need to click on the small white arrow that appears to the right of the keyword in the “Keyword List” panel when I roll over it (the word). Once I roll over the arrow, I’ll see a popup that states “Click to show photos containing this keyword.” If I click the arrow, I’ll find that all other thumbnails and images are removed from my view and only the appropriate thumbnails remain.
