Image straight out of the camera on the left. On the right is my processing. Shadow slider to the right, highlight slider of the left, 20-30 each on Saturation, Vibrance, and Texture in Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw.
Auto processing on the left. Adaptive Color on the right. Both buttons found in Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw.
Just in case you’re not familiar with Auto or Adaptive Color, here’s a screen capture. These are “presets” that process your images for you. Or, maybe give you a starting point.
Do you see a preference? The differences are subtle. Let me know your thoughts.
Professional photographer leading workshops and tours. I use Canon cameras but I'm familiar with all the other brands. Love photography birds and nature. Love talking about photography and gear.
