4.1 Course Conclusion

Congratulations, you've made it to the conclusion of this course. In this final lesson, we'll review the main concepts and process that we used on our photos. The high level idea is to make quick, corrective adjustments to your images so that they can be assessed in their neutral, not too anything state. When working with multiple photos, you would move the group through this editing process together so that they can be evaluated equally. Only after that, do we add our own personal touch and style to our group of photos. And we're able to do so in such a way, that they're retouched to the same level. Creativity takes work. It's a lifelong process. Efficient image editing is the main idea behind producing high-quality, consistent images, and creative post-production is an ability that is learned progressively over time. Let's review the process we took our images through. First, we made corrective adjustments and neutralized our photos. We checked for lens and perspective corrections that we need to make. We adjusted the baseline exposure and contrast of our images. Then we made some baseline color corrections via the saturation and vibrance tools. Next, we applied some slight sharpening to our class photo and then reduced the noise in our second class photo. We then went on to evaluate them and give them a slightly dramatic style through additional editing. And then finally we exported our files. Here is a before and after comparison of both of our images. I hope you enjoyed this course and can begin to see the benefit Roth therapy can have in handling your raw images.
