Combined with the basic RAW editing tools, you can create something that’s truly a work of art. Between photo effects, black and white conversion and LUTs, you have a great toolset to bring a unique look to your photographs. So if I only wanted to apply the Elegance LUT to the lower portion of my photograph, I can very easily do that.Īs you can see, the editing and stylization possibilities are endless with ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2019. What’s cool is that you can also selectively add a LUT, through either painting it on with the brush or by choosing a gradient. In my image, if I add the Film LUT to my photograph, it’ll create some cooler tones along with some darker blacks.
There are 10 LUTs included with ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate, and you can import your own from literally any source. Similar to the Photo Effect edit in the Effects panel, this applies a custom look to your image. In the Edit screen of ACDSee, you’ll also be able to add a color LUT to your image.
You can control the opacity here too, so it’s not shining red or blue.įinally, the Gradient Map tool lets you determine that colors for both the shadows and highlights in your image. The Color Overlay tool does exactly that - it lets you put a color on top of your image. So, if I wanted to boost up the purple areas of my black and white image, I could do so, and then balance out the contrast for a more suitable image. You can now adjust the contrast of each individual color, and specify the brightness range that the contrast adjustment will target. This year’s ACDSee Ultimate Photo Studio release features much improved black and white tools. I decided to take this and a few other photos into ACDSee, and see what I could come up with to make them a little more of a piece of art. Now, I’m by no means a wildlife or bird photographer, but I thought this was pretty cool to capture. As I moved up to one, they started to flap their wings and fly away. As we began looking for perspectives to shoot from, we found smaller clusters of ducks on islands sitting in the water. And when I say large, I mean probably about a hundred or so. Instead, everything is very brown, grey and just…blah. When you’re at a wastewater treatment plant, it’s not like they have pretty trees and clear blue water. The problem was, everything looked so grey and uninspiring.
Our search for snowy owls failed, but we did see some other great birds in the process. However, we weren’t that lucky this time around. This year, we were excited to capture them again, especially with snow on the ground. Last year, I went out with fellow Photofocus author Cathy Seaver to check them out, and we found about several of them during our time there. Sounds…smelly, right? Well, there was a reason for this - snowy owls are known to be spotted there. I recently went out to the Muskegon Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in Muskegon, Mich.
