It may look like you’re covering too much of the region that you don’t want masked, but when you apply adjustments with the Equalizer, they only apply to the regions that were beneath the inner circle. It isn’t necessary to use a lot of care when brushing on a mask. The inner circle of the brush detects the image pixel information that you want to mask while the outer circle performs edge detection that prevents pixels under it from being masked. The Auto Mask uses edge detection to create a mask along a well defined edge between two regions. The other local adjustments are equally useful. Multiple control points allow you to adjust the background in a portrait without affecting the hair as long as there is sufficient contrast between the two.Īnother time-saving feature of PhotoLab is its ability to export files with multiple export recipes at the same time. Control points work so well and are so easy to apply I use them constantly to adjust the color temperature and soften skin in portraits, especially where there are multiple faces. If the region you need to adjust is too large for a single control point circle, click on a similar area, adjust the circle size, and the previous settings are applied. With a cmd/ctrl + click you can add a control point that protects a region from adjustment, even within another control point. The number of control points you can add to an image seems limitless you can add a control point inside another control point. Other pixels in the circle are miraculously unaffected. Moving the mouse side to side allows you to set the adjustment precisely. Moving a slider up or down applies the adjustment to pixels similar to those under the selected area. The software analyzes the image information under the click point and the Equalizer sliders appear. You'll get a circle you can enlarge or reduce to cover the region of interest. With the Control Point active, click where you want to adjust.
If you are too sloppy, you remove local adjustments with the Eraser tool in the radial menu.Ĭontrol Point is the most impressive of the local adjustments. You paint on the Auto Mask local adjustment without having to worry too much about being careful and use the Equalizer sliders to make adjustments.
