Camera Raw Effects Panel: Adding Grain & Post Crop Vignetting

https://www.shutterbuggs.com/ - In the video, I want to explore the Effects panel that contains grain and post-crop vignetting. So if you up to our panels Options, you’ll see the little FX icon. If we click on that, you’ll notice this is the Effects panel, which contains grain and post-crop vignetting. Now let’s just take a look at the grain to start off with. And what I’m going to do first is I’m going to zoom into my image to 100%, which I recommend you do primarily because it’s going to give you the best sort of visualization of what you’re actually creating with the grain itself. Now, grain simulates film grain essentially, and it’s very useful for masking or hiding digital artifacts that occur when making larger prints, and actually interpolating your files up to relatively large sizes. So as you can see here, as you grab the amount slider, it controls the amount of grain that’s being applied to my image. So the higher the value goes, the more grain that is being applied. And as you see from my preview, you’ll notice it’s quite a dramatic effect. Now, underneath grain, we have size and roughness. Now, these both determine the character of grain. Now, the size slider itself controls the grain particle size. So as we start off at a low value on the left-hand side, you’ll notice that it is quite fine and quite detailed. But as you increase it and head across to the right-hand side of the slider, it becomes quite large and it starts to actually look a little bit blurred, as you can see. So that actually controls the particle size. So you want to have a play around with that as to what size of grain you actually want to apply to your image. Now, underneath size, you have roughness, which controls the regularity of the grain. So, for example, if I drag the slider to the left-hand side, the grain becomes more uniformed. But if I slide the slider across to the right-hand side, it actually becomes uneven. Now, as with film itself, it’s not perfectly uniformed so it’s sort of halfway between uniformed and even, so you just need to play around with that to get the character of film grain that you’re sort of looking for to apply to your image. Now, when doing this, you want to make sure that you actually view your image at several different magnifications or zoom levels just to see how it actually looks because sometimes it may look great at 100%, but it looks bloody awful at let’s say 50% or 33% when you actually jump back. And this is especially important, because if it really looks quite unsightly, then your prints are going to turn out quite awful to be honest, because the grain is going to be distracting from the actual image itself. So you just want to take note of that and make sure you look at a couple of different sizes prior to actually going and printing those images out, just to make sure you’ve got your desired result. Now, along with grain, we have post-cropping vignetting. Now, this is a new feature to Camera Raw, which was introduced primarily because of some of the limitations that we have with lens vignetting in the Lens Correction panel. Now, in the previous video, we took a look at how to actually use that, so let’s just jump back into that panel for a second, and we’ll just go over some of the limitations here. And then I can go into why post-crop vignetting is actually better in some respects. Now, what I showed you previously was how to apply lens vignetting to your image to sort of focus the attention of the viewer on the center of your image by darkening off some of the corners of your image, as you can see here. So if we do a little before and after preview, you’ll notice that the corners have darkened off, but the center is sort of still around the same density. Now, one of the limitations with lens vignetting is that it applies it to the entire image. So, for example, I happen to think this image looks fantastic as a panoramic in a 3:1 ratio. So if I were to crop this in that format, you’ll notice that the lens vignetting is still being applied to the entire image although I have actually cropped the image. So the actual adjustments are still being applied to the outside areas that are actually being cropped, which is not very good when it comes to adjusting or when it comes to trying to reproduce this type of effect on a cropped image.
