I did the two quick and dirty colour grading variations above to express aspects of a protest against Indian coal mining giant Adani and its contractors, enhancing the emotions on both sides with extra colour in the shadows, midtones and highlights. Not before time given the fact that many contemporary photographers are also cinematographers and vice versa and so may appreciate familiar features and interfaces.

Using manual focus lenses made it easier to choose the precise plane of focus compared to using autofocus lenses in the same scenario.Īdobe has finally added the colour grading functionality previously found in other raw image editing software like Phase One’s Capture One Pro and its variants, derived from the colour grading controls native to video editing and colour grading applications like Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve and Apple’s Final Cut Pro.

There is also a Compact Layout Preferences option to further customize your workspace
