![]() It serves to increase the level of detail by increasing or decreasing contrast in the image's edges or harsher areas of the image. * **Clarity** on the other hand is a far harsher tool. Essentially giving you the option of adding or decreasing the level of detail on a smaller/less intensive scale. ![]() ![]() * **Texture** functions to bring out the detail in the lesser or mid-frequency parts of your image. Presence is a little harder to define, so let's break it down by each individual slider in this section * The next set of sliders control the **Presence** of an image. **Highlights** control the brighter parts, **Shadows** control the darker, **Whites** control how intensely bright the white parts are, and **Blacks** control how intensely dark the image is. * The next sliders all control individual areas of the image. It's not necessarily brightness, however, a higher contrast image will appear to be more saturated and brighter because of this concept. A good way to think of Contrast is that this slider when turned up makes the black areas "blacker" and the white areas "whiter". * The second set of sliders control the images **Brightness and Contrast.** **Exposure** pertains to how bright the image is overall, and **Contrast** controls the level of contrast in the image. For this image, the white balance is fairly good although you could warm up the image or cool it to your preference. These two sliders are the basic foundations of your image's white balance. The **Temp** slider controls how warm or cold the image is, and the **Tint** controls how green or red the image is. * At the top, you'll notice **Temp** and **Tint**, these are very self-explanatory. We're only going to focus on the "**Basic**" section!() * This is where we will be doing our editing. I should note, that this tutorial will only cover the basics, but I will leave links to in-depth tutorials at the end of this document. Now that we have Lightroom setup we can start editing. * Create a Folder and rename it to your desired Project or shoot. * Open Finder and navigate to your desired storage location. You can purchase the academic bundle here, but will need to prove your status as a student, teacher, or school staff, typically through the use of a school email or copy of your school ID.At the Learning Lab we like to setup our Folder structure outside of Final Cut Pro first before creating a Final Cut Library. However, unlike Creative Cloud, you can keep on using this software, and likely upgrading it, long after that year is up. The cost of the bundle works out to less than the price of a year's academic subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, which is $19.99/month, though of course that suite includes more than just the Premiere editing app. Even just the two apps most filmmakers will rely on, FCP and Compressor, would set you back $348 without the discount. Purchased separately, the Apple apps run up to $630. Filmmakers haven't taken to Logic and MainStage en masse, but having those apps along in the bundle is a nice bonus if you also happen to be a composer or musician. In a $199 bundle for students and educators, the platform is an even better deal, especially with the inclusion of Compressor. There is no guarantee that the no-fee upgrade policy will continue (unlike a software like Resolve, where a dongle purchase comes with upgrades guaranteed), but so far it's held up and proven to be a great investment for its users. ![]() As a bonus, there has been no upgrade price since it came out in 2011 if you paid $299 for it the month it came out, your license is still good six years later for the most current version, which works out to only $50/year, or around $4.50/month. Apple just announced a new academic bundle for $199 that includes Final Cut Pro X, with Logic, Motion, Compressor and MainStage all thrown in to boot.įinal Cut Pro X has always had a great price, at just $299 for the powerful software.
