Subtitles of the Movie

Boy, can you believe we're still in the Guided Sub-section of the Edit Suite, and there is quite a bit in here to allow you to learn how to adjust images. And we're down to the bottom where it's called Photographic Effects and you're going to say to yourself: well, if this is how to do photographic effects, what is the Action Player? The difference is that in Actions, an Action does the same thing to each image. One size fits all. In line drawing you have the ability to adjust the image the way you want it to look within the context of the effect. So let's click on it, go to Line Drawing and you see all these explanations of what to do, but basically what you're going to do is you're going to click this and it will execute an effect on the image. Now, just don't pass judgment on whether you like it or don't like it, let's just go through the process and you can see that if you click on it again it'll run itself again, and enhance the effect. And then you might want to subsequently go increase the Contrast or do whatever special effects you want to do. Now, let's, for the sake of the demonstration, reset the image. We'll go Pencil Sketch once, and then we will adjust the layer Opacity to reduce the effect, and then we will come down here to Levels, and at each click we're increasing the Contrast just slightly. You just have to keep clicking on it, and you will see that we are increasing the contrast. So, you have ways to adjust the effect with the Photographic Effects section that you don't have in Actions. So, what we're going to do at this point is leave this the way it is. Let's go back and get another one. Old Fashioned Photo. This is a demonstration of what it's going to do. Now, do you want the Newspaper look; do you want the Urban Snapshot kind of look; or do you want Vivid Landscapes, so you have a choice there of how you kind of want it to look. Let's look at Urban Snapshots, and we click on it, and it takes it to black and white. We can adjust the Tonality, see it brightens the image, blows out some of the face but you see what it does. Add Texture, and this is going to try to approximate black and white film in the old days, Tri-X and Pan-X, that's kind of a Tri-X looking effect. And then we come down, adjust the Hue and Saturation, well there's no point in that because we've got a black and white image, but that dialog box comes up, we can take the Saturation all the way down to maintain the black and white, or we can bring it up for kind of a sepia, or sepia effect; run the saturation up to increase the effect. So, lots of adjustments available. Let's go to the next one which is Saturated Slide Film Effect. It's a little subtle. You hit Apply, and it doesn't do much of a change, it does approximate some kinds of film. I really don't know the value of this. I've never used it myself but there it is, if you see it and you feel like you want to use it. So, that takes us to our conclusion of the Guided section. And we just saw Photographic Effects which actually, that wasn't bad, not bad at all for someone holding your hand showing you how to do everything.
