1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,720 Hi and welcome to the tutorial for the Finish Tab. Now if you find that the 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,790 Finish Tab is taking up too much space on your screen, you can always detach it 3 00:00:08,790 --> 00:00:13,590 from the icon bar and move it down to the bottom right hand corner so it takes 4 00:00:13,590 --> 00:00:18,330 up less space. And then when you press this button, you see it disappears. Now 5 00:00:18,330 --> 00:00:22,080 I'm going to leave it here, somewhere up here, so you can see it a bit better 6 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:26,609 through this tutorial. Now to the left you have something called Filters and 7 00:00:26,609 --> 00:00:28,920 Actions and that's exactly what it sounds like. 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,300 They're simply filters where you can run them and you can decide what works best 9 00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:36,450 for you. I'm just going to show you one of these because you can play with them 10 00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:40,559 in your images and find out which ones you prefer and which you don't. The one I'm 11 00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:44,399 going to show you is by far the most popular one out of all the filters and 12 00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:49,289 it's called Magic Green Lands. If you press that it'll take a second or so to 13 00:00:49,289 --> 00:00:53,520 run because it's doing a lot of work and then you'll see a pop-up box. This is for 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,660 the Orton effect, so I'm going to leave it at around 41 and press ok. And now the 15 00:00:57,660 --> 00:01:03,449 action is finished running. So if we have a look at the Magic Green Lands group, 16 00:01:03,449 --> 00:01:07,290 you'll see we've created lots of different layers and we can take full 17 00:01:07,290 --> 00:01:11,760 control over these layers and they all are labeled correctly so you can figure 18 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,320 out what does what. Now I feel like this colour's a little bit strong here in the 19 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:21,450 foreground and in the sky so I'm going to reduce this thing called Boost Greens 20 00:01:21,450 --> 00:01:26,400 and you see we've brought back some natural colouring now. I can also bring down the 21 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,810 Orton Effect, if I find that it's a little bit strong but I actually quite 22 00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:34,950 like it here. I can remove Protect Shadows, if I want it to be a little bit 23 00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:40,200 darker or I can remove this vignette if I want to add my own vignette. But let me 24 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,860 show you what it looked like before and after. So here's before we added Magic 25 00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:48,299 Green Lands and here's after. And you'll see it's a huge difference there. And I 26 00:01:48,299 --> 00:01:52,530 can turn any scene like this into a really vibrant, beautiful scene and like 27 00:01:52,530 --> 00:01:56,880 I say you have full control over how it's represented by playing with any of 28 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,469 the layers that are in the magic landscape group. Now for your actions, 29 00:02:01,469 --> 00:02:05,130 when you downloaded Raya Pro you should have seen a folder called Your Actions 30 00:02:05,130 --> 00:02:10,379 and in that folder is a video for how to set up your actions and how to use those 31 00:02:10,379 --> 00:02:13,560 actions too so we're not going to cover it in this tutorial. 32 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,700 But please go back to the download and you'll see that folder as soon as you 33 00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:22,620 enter the Raya Pro download. Now Reduce Noise, well that just allows us to reduce 34 00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:27,330 noise, so if we click on it it will reduce the noise in our photo using Photoshop's 35 00:02:27,330 --> 00:02:31,800 native noise reduction software. So when you see this pop up you can play 36 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:38,250 with the sliders and just press ok and that creates a smart object which should 37 00:02:38,250 --> 00:02:43,319 have reduced any noise in your image. Now Clean CA - this is for us to clean 38 00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:50,430 chromatic aberration so if I just zoom in to this mosque here, let's go to this 39 00:02:50,430 --> 00:02:56,010 area here, and I press the Finish Tab and open it up and put it here. You can see 40 00:02:56,010 --> 00:03:00,630 we have some strong chromatic aberration down here and along there. Now this 41 00:03:00,630 --> 00:03:04,799 doesn't work with every image but it does work quite well with most scenes. 42 00:03:04,799 --> 00:03:09,720 All we need to do is press Clean CA and now we have this pop-up and we bring the 43 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,769 radius all the way down to zero. Now watch what happens as we bring it up. 44 00:03:13,769 --> 00:03:18,390 Let's say I bring it up to 5, you'll see the chromatic aberration is softened and 45 00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:23,670 spread but if we do that a little bit higher let's say to 20 or lower let's 46 00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:29,340 say 13, it's spreading a little bit more and becoming more diffused. So now we're 47 00:03:29,340 --> 00:03:36,269 at around, let's say 21 you can't see much chromatic aberration. If we move a 48 00:03:36,269 --> 00:03:39,329 little bit higher, the chromatic aberration is completely disappeared so 49 00:03:39,329 --> 00:03:43,560 just move this along until it looks right by you and when you're done you 50 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,750 can press ok. Now we've created a chromatic aberration layer and this has 51 00:03:48,750 --> 00:03:52,650 a black mask on it. So select your brush, make sure your foreground is set to white 52 00:03:52,650 --> 00:04:02,459 and create a small brush and all we want to do here is paint over the mask, those 53 00:04:02,459 --> 00:04:08,549 areas that have chromatic aberration. So just painting over those areas and I'm 54 00:04:08,549 --> 00:04:14,100 going to do the green chromatic aberration too. Now you can see that this 55 00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:18,570 is a big improvement to the previous chromatic aberration that we had, even if 56 00:04:18,570 --> 00:04:23,070 it's not quite perfect. But nevertheless it's a lot better than having the big 57 00:04:23,070 --> 00:04:29,120 red or blue cyan lines along our buildings. Now sharpen full-size is exactly what it 58 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,920 sounds like. We simply press sharpen full-size and this will bring up a 59 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,780 High Pass filter and we simply decide the strength of our sharpening effect. 60 00:04:38,780 --> 00:04:42,380 When we're happy we just press ok. But that's a little bit strong but you can 61 00:04:42,380 --> 00:04:46,910 see exactly what it does there. Now if I delete that layer, we can go to something 62 00:04:46,910 --> 00:04:50,870 called Sharpen No Edge, and that essentially will allow us to sharpen our 63 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:54,710 image without the white edging that we often see and if you're interested in 64 00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:58,100 that you'll see a link to a video pop up in the right-hand side of this screen 65 00:04:58,100 --> 00:05:02,810 which will show you exactly how to use this function and the theory behind it 66 00:05:02,810 --> 00:05:07,390 too so you can get a good idea of its uses. Now we can see frequency separation 67 00:05:07,390 --> 00:05:14,060 16 and frequency separation 8. This is a function where we can separate the tones 68 00:05:14,060 --> 00:05:18,350 or the smaller aspects of our image from the larger aspects of our image and make 69 00:05:18,350 --> 00:05:22,550 really fine changes. Now again I'm not going to show you how to do that because 70 00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:26,120 I've already created a more in-depth tutorial which you'll find really useful. 71 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,290 And again that's popping up on the screen and the top right hand corner so 72 00:05:30,290 --> 00:05:33,920 if you watch that you'll see what frequency separation is, how to do it 73 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,030 yourself and also the different ways we can use it. And if you're a portrait 74 00:05:38,030 --> 00:05:42,050 photographer you'll find this especially useful. Now these final options are quite 75 00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:45,830 obvious so we can resize and sharpen our image by width or height. So I'm 76 00:05:45,830 --> 00:05:48,680 going to choose width here and we have this pop-up box so I'm going to say a 77 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:54,860 thousand pixels and then you'll get an option which says "do you want to convert 78 00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:59,060 the colour profile to sRGB which is recommended for the Web?", and then we can 79 00:05:59,060 --> 00:06:02,750 press yes and okay. And now we've sharpened our image and we have all 80 00:06:02,750 --> 00:06:08,150 these different layers. So the first layer is extra sharp and if we get rid 81 00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:12,800 of that we have Sharpened More, Sharpened and Not Sharpened at all so we can 82 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:18,020 decide how sharp we want our image to be with those options. And as I say we can 83 00:06:18,020 --> 00:06:22,010 do that via height or width. Here we can change the colour profile of our image 84 00:06:22,010 --> 00:06:28,730 from sRGB to Adobe RGB or ProPhoto and finally we can save our images as we 85 00:06:28,730 --> 00:06:34,730 please, as a PSD or JPEG or a PSB. So these options here are quite easy to 86 00:06:34,730 --> 00:06:40,060 understand and it will help you in your final steps in your workflow.
