This 28-minute MP4 video Video compares Capture One conversions and the Photoshop optimizations of a cloudy day, under-exposed Bald Eagle as compared to a sunny day, Bald Eagle.
I thought that it would be interesting and educational to do an MP4 video showing the Capture One conversions and the Photoshop optimizations of a cloudy day under-exposed Bald Eagle as compared to a properly exposed sunny day Bald Eagle. In the Two Eagles Capture One & More MP4 Video, I have done just that. The topics covered include using Click White Balance to determine a pleasing Color Temperaure, adjusting the the Highlights and Shadows sliders, setting the Black and White points using the end-lines in Levels, Capture One Noise Reduction, adjusting the other important sliders, converting the image to a TIFF, and bringing the TIFF into Photoshop. Once there we crop the image, level and fill in canvas if needed (as with the cloudy day eagle), do some background and bill cleanup using the Patch Tool, the Spot Healing Brush, the Clone Stamp Tool, Content Aware Fill, and a small Quick Mask modified by a Regular Layer Mask, sharpen selectively with a Contrast Mask, do some Eye Doctor work with Tim Grey Dodge and Burn, flatten and save the master file, and create and sharpen a 1200 pixel wide JPEG. All of that plus more in an easy to follow format -- you can pause the tape or rewind as needed.
