1 00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:04,589 Hello, and welcome to this tutorial for the Colour Centre in Raya Pro. This panel 2 00:00:04,589 --> 00:00:10,170 allows us to correct our colours, to add warmth or cold to our colours and to 3 00:00:10,170 --> 00:00:13,920 control individual colours as well. Now the first thing I want to show you is 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,880 the Manual Colour Correct here because this requires a little bit of 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,930 explanation. This option allows us to correct the colours in our image and we 6 00:00:21,930 --> 00:00:27,300 can do that by establishing a gray point. So I'm gonna press that button, and here 7 00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:32,279 we have two layers. One called Layer 1 and the other one called Threshold. All 8 00:00:32,279 --> 00:00:36,090 we need to do now is go to our eyedropper tool right click if you see 9 00:00:36,090 --> 00:00:41,280 the eyedropper tool and choose the colour sampler. Now if you open up the Threshold 10 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:47,280 layer and put that down to one. Now we just drag this along until black parts 11 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,199 begin to appear, and you see we have some black areas here. And now all we need to 12 00:00:52,199 --> 00:00:56,730 do is put a marker in those black areas, so I'm going to click once with my left 13 00:00:56,730 --> 00:01:01,379 mouse button and now we have a marker. So if I zoom in you'll be able to see that 14 00:01:01,379 --> 00:01:06,360 marker and it's right in the black point there. Now I can make these two layers 15 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,840 invisible, I can open up a curves layer, click on this option here which is our 16 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,960 gray point and then I simply click in that area to tell Photoshop that it's 17 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:25,020 our gray point. So there we go and if i zoom out, that is the before and after. So 18 00:01:25,020 --> 00:01:28,829 it's done an excellent job of removing that really cold cast from my ND filter. 19 00:01:28,829 --> 00:01:34,200 And now I just click on the colour sampler again, right click and choose 20 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:41,369 delete. So that is how you use the manual correct option in Raya Pro. Now you'll 21 00:01:41,369 --> 00:01:45,720 also see above here we have Correct 1, Correct 2 and Correct 3, so I'm just 22 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,729 going to delete these layers but I'm going to use Correct 1. And these three 23 00:01:50,729 --> 00:01:54,509 automatically colour correct your images so you don't have to. And you'll see 24 00:01:54,509 --> 00:01:58,590 this again has done a fantastic job. It's a slightly different result to the 25 00:01:58,590 --> 00:02:02,460 Manual Colour Correct, it's a lot brighter, and I actually think this one looks 26 00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:08,129 better but if that one doesn't work, you can try Correct 2, and if that doesn't 27 00:02:08,129 --> 00:02:12,930 work you can try Correct 3. And each one does something completely different 28 00:02:12,930 --> 00:02:15,750 for one image you might find Correct 2 works 29 00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:20,010 beautifully, for another image you might find it works terribly so that's why we 30 00:02:20,010 --> 00:02:23,400 have three different options in there for you. Now here we have something 31 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,810 called B&W and that's quite simply black and white. So it makes our image black 32 00:02:27,810 --> 00:02:32,970 and white and we can click here and change certain tones in our image to get 33 00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:38,130 greater control over the final result. I'm going to show you the next thing 34 00:02:38,130 --> 00:02:43,230 which is Cold, Colder, Coldest or Warm, Warmer, Warmest 35 00:02:43,230 --> 00:02:48,240 and here all we're doing is injecting a colder or warmer temperature into our 36 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,920 image. So we have this milky way shot and we want to take out some of this warmth. 37 00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:58,200 It's a little bit yellow or orange or brown and I can do that by, let's say, 38 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,640 pressing Coldest and all of a sudden we've corrected the colours in the image 39 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:08,340 beautifully. We have a much colder scene and we have a nice blue sky. Now Coldest 40 00:03:08,340 --> 00:03:13,410 is the strongest amount, so if I delete that and choose just Colder you'll see 41 00:03:13,410 --> 00:03:18,450 the effect is a little bit weaker or Cold and it's a very subtle effect with 42 00:03:18,450 --> 00:03:23,459 just Cold. You can combine them too, so if I press Coldest and then Colder, now 43 00:03:23,459 --> 00:03:27,870 we've got an even more beautiful blue sky with those gorgeous stars and a 44 00:03:27,870 --> 00:03:31,769 foreground that is correctly coloured. So we can combine these things to change 45 00:03:31,769 --> 00:03:36,330 the temperature in our image or correct colours. And of course Warmest, Warmer and 46 00:03:36,330 --> 00:03:41,519 Warm work the same way. We can inject warmth into our image, if we think our 47 00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:48,150 frame will benefit from that. And if you want we can saturate all of our colours, 48 00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:53,610 so make them a lot brighter a lot more colourful by using this Saturate All 49 00:03:53,610 --> 00:03:57,810 button and you can use it as many times as you want to add saturation to all of 50 00:03:57,810 --> 00:04:02,160 your image. I'm going to delete a few of these or you can choose individual 51 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,940 colours, so you can click on green and that will saturate the greens or you can 52 00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:12,209 choose cyan and that will saturate the cyans, or yellow or blue. So you can 53 00:04:12,209 --> 00:04:17,400 individually affect the colours in your image. If you want you can desaturate all 54 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,930 of the colours or you can desaturate individual colours, so there's blue, green, 55 00:04:21,930 --> 00:04:26,789 yellow and you'll see we're only affecting certain tones at a time. Now 56 00:04:26,789 --> 00:04:29,270 the options down here quite obvious so we're gonna add some 57 00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:34,620 colder tones to our shadows so we press Cold Shadows. There's the before and 58 00:04:34,620 --> 00:04:41,130 after. Or we can add some warmth to our shadows, and there's the before and after 59 00:04:41,130 --> 00:04:46,020 again. It's a very subtle effect. We can add some cold to our highlights which is 60 00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:51,840 usually a very useful tool when working with cityscapes and the most popular one 61 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:55,470 of these is Warm Highlights which looks great with beautiful golden hour 62 00:04:55,470 --> 00:04:59,700 landscapes, and it just adds some warmth to the highlights. Now it's very subtle 63 00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:02,820 here because we don't have too many highlights but we can always open up 64 00:05:02,820 --> 00:05:08,930 this layer and increase the warmth as we see fit. So there's before and after. And 65 00:05:08,930 --> 00:05:14,780 so that is how we use the functions in Colour Centre.
