Lightroom: „Introducing Color Grading“

Apropos Fotos: Darkroom ist meine erste Wahl für eine Bildbearbeitung auf dem iPad, aber Lightroom erhielt neben seiner exzellenten Rauschreduzierung nun noch ein zweites (faszinierendes) Feature. Color Grading klickt für mich, weil ich es (wahrscheinlich) von Videos kenne.

If you’ve never used Split Toning or Color Grading, here’s the idea: you can apply a color tint to your image based on the brightness of the pixels: Lighter pixels can be tinted differently from darker ones. With Color Grading, you can also control your midtones.

This is not new to digital imaging; toning and split toning are traditional darkroom techniques. Toning used to be done by bleaching your prints and then applying a toner; different looks can be achieved by how you apply the bleach. The digital version is easier — if for no other reason than the fact that you can change the toning without making another print — and definitely less smelly!
