Notes from the SLO Bytes' Photo Session of 05/16/2021
« on: May 16, 2021, 05:51:40 PM »
Hello All,
Here are my Notes from the 05/16/2021 meeting of SLO Bytes' Photo Group

TOPIC: Vivid Color; The meeting took place via Zoom

In the First Segment, Stanford Brown looked back at flowers, landscapes and structures from around the world, each with one or more dominant colors.

Alan Raul followed, shifting focus to harbors of California's Central Coast featuring Coast Guard vessels private craft

John Waller , using extensive color masking, shared images of aircraft, fire engines, and landscapes.

Alan Raul opened the Second Session displaying flowers and lawn art. His images are available on-line here

Ralph Sutter treated today's session as an opportunity to enhance the colors of flowers and children's toys

Stanford Brown shared many very vivid flowers

Kaye Raul also found colorful flowers as well as brightly colored buildings and gates. She enhanced these scenes by selective color removal.

Connie Sutter contributed images of fruit trees and flowers

In the Third Session, Ralph called attention to Adobe's Digital Negative Converter, free software that allows image editors to manipulate RAW photos when the software does not natively convert the camera that produced those images.

Kaye showed how she selectively removed color from photos using Selective Color.
She offered the following documentation
  in Luminar - https://jimnix.com/blog/2019/3/13/selective-color-in-luminar
  in Lightroom - https://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-easily-create-selective-color-using-lightroom/

John demonstrated how he used both Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom to highlight a single color and convert others to grey. He explained the workings of Adobe's object selection tool
Our next meeting will take place on June 13th beginning at 1:00 pm
The topic is Favorite Images from Nature; Please share scenes of a place free from human interaction

Ralph Sutter
