- Bonjour madames and messieurs.
In this video I want to show you
how you can locally change the colors
of some of things in your photo,
using a new tool that just came out in June 2020,
in Lightroom Classic.
(dramatic music)
Bonjour madames and messieurs.
So Lightroom just released a new update,
there's many features with stability and bugs fix.
But there's one that really I think is amazing.
I just saw this release
and I was blown away by this one feature.
Let me give you an example
where you can change locally colors.
So now this is a photo that I shot in Avignon,
that's a raw file on retouch, I'm gonna open up the shadows,
I'm gonna do my blacks.
Beautiful poppy fields.
I love shooting poppy fields, I think they're amazing.
I'm gonna add some contrast,
just so really busy retouching,
maybe just add a bit of magenta.
I think on the sky itself, let me see here.
I wanna go to add a little gradient here on the sky.
Make the top of the sky a bit darker.
And maybe a bit of clarity in the sky
so it's more diffused.
I like diffused sky.
I think the white balance is too blue,
so I'm gonna add a bit of warm and a bit of magenta.
So I really like this.
This is not what I wanted to show you.
Now, poppies are usually red in France.
They are orange in California.
And I had this idea,
what if we did a mix-up of different poppies
from all over the world in this photo?
If you stay until the end,
I'm going to show you a little trick
that's gonna make this 10 times faster
on your photography.
So stay until the end.
Step number one.
Take the radial filter tool.
I'm gonna make a circle around these flowers here.
I'm going to invert it so whatever I'm gonna be doing
is gonna be inside that circle.
Not outside, but inside, okay?
So here I am, and so whatever I'm doing now
is gonna be inside.
So check this out.
There is a new thing called U.
Where you can change a type of colors
within your local adjustment.
That's new, and look at this.
So for example, if I wanted to make this, like, very orange
like in, for example, like this, in California,
I could do that.
Well, actually, let me go extreme as you can see.
I'm gonna make this, for example, blue.
But you can see the grass is becoming also magenta.
It's not really realistic.
What if there was a way that we could use this
only on the flowers and not on the grass?
Thank you very much for asking.
And here it is.
So first, before I show you this,
you have this Use Fine Adjustment here.
All it does is basically you pick your color here first.
Once you're in the ballpark of the colors that you like,
you click on Use Fine Adjustment,
and now you're gonna move this very slow,
like you can't move this fast.
You just fine-tune it, okay?
So I repeat, first you pick the colors that you want,
okay?
And then you fine-tune it using Use Fine Adjustment,
because it's so, that slider goes really fast.
Okay, now how to get rid of,
how to get the grass still be,
the trick is, I'm gonna zoom in here a little bit.
I'm going to use the Range Mask Color.
I usually use Limit if you've been following my journal.
I'm going to use colors this time.
And I'm gonna take the picker here,
and I'm basically gonna tell it,
"Look, I want this effect only on the colors I'm gonna pick"
so I'm gonna click and drag a little circle on this flower,
and if it doesn't work,
it means I didn't do a good selection of colors,
so I can go here,
and I'm gonna take, for example, this color,
I only want this color.
Yeah, that's what it is.
And you see now, I mean, this is extreme.
I don't want them to be blue.
Let me zoom back out here a little bit.
But you see, now the flowers are only blue
wherever there is a circle.
And that's crazy.
So you click here to stop using this,
and now wherever I move this,
it's gonna turn my flowers blue, which is really cool.
And only the flower, only the red from the flower.
Oh, two things, really quick,
before I show you the incredible ways
to speed this up really fast.
One, if you like these kind of videos,
just click the Like button.
It really makes a difference for me.
And two, I got an amazing gift for you,
down below you have my free toolbox.
This free toolbox is gonna give you

You're also gonna get some skies

and Photoshop brush.
But what's amazing about it,
it comes with 13 videos showing you how to use everything.
It's completely free.

Okay, so now, how can we speed up this
so that it goes much faster?
So let's say I kind of like this blue,
I mean, this is like overkilling it,
so I'm going to take something a bit more natural,
something like this.
And then here is the trick, check this out.
You right-click, duplicate.
Now I'm going to put this here, for example.
And now, I can just change the colors.
And I can go like the California poppies.
And I can even add some exposure on this one
if I want to.
Okay?
And then I can click, duplicate,
and now I can take this circle here in the middle,
and go for another color, like, I don't know.
Something like a green poppy or something.
Not so green, so I can lower the exposure,
I can lower the saturation so it's more realistic.
Okay, I can use Fine-tune Adjustment to do this.
I think green is a little too much.
Let's think of something more realistic,
like something like this.
Like maybe more in the blues.
And voila.
And check this out.
So with using four circle, I totally changed the colors
exactly how I wanted of the flowers.
I mean, the possibilities are huge.
By the way, guys, I prepared for you a little playlist
