9 LIFT THE SKIN
If you want
to give your
subject’s skin a fresh,
bright feel, here’s
a quick ix you can
try. Simply go to the
Luminance tab in the
HSL panel and grab
the target icon for
on-image control,
then drag upwards
over the skin slightly.
This will make the
skin slightly brighter,
resulting in a fresher
feel that works well
for beauty shots.
10 CUT THROUGH THE HAZE
The Dehaze
slider can
be very useful for
landscapes, as it
reduces atmospheric
haze and adds punch
to flat scenes. The
slider is found in the
Efects panel. Simply
drag it to the right
to reduce haze. The
shadows may go too
deep, so if necessary
go to the Basic panel
and lift Shadows and
Exposure slightly
to compensate.
