Hey! I'm James, photographer turned educator. I learnt everything I know about photography right here on youtube. I've joined to play the youtube game, learn how to get better and have fun whilst doing it. Lightroom CC Presets - tinyurl.com/4df8u5wf
This was incredibly helpful; I knew about the "Synchronization" feature but where I was getting caught up was the clips not being on different tracks. A bit tedious but absolutely worth it!! Thank you!

Great technique, is like using the eye dropper but with absolute control. This it's a complement to other techniques like increase the vibrance at maximum and balance the white by perception. Also you have to be aware that this "perfect WB" can be twisted for creative reason or achive some personal style.

From my observation, aligning the RGB peaks doesn’t always work, if one colour is very dominant in one of the either shadows, mid-tones or highlights. I was editing an image taken whilst hiking, and the image had a lot the sky showing. The sky was predominantly blue as it was decently clear day. So blues will dominated the highlights on the histogram - and trying to align the peaks created a massively yellow hue across the image (too warm). So I instead focused on making sure the Red and Green peaks were within 1% of each other, and ignored the blue peak. So how would you better apply this rule/suggestion when trying to get the prefect WB? Seems like in the end, it comes down to using your own visual judgment. One thing that someone told me, is to place your mouse on something that is meant to be white, and then make the histogram adjustments that way. By placing your mouse on that white item, you will then see the histogram values for that area - and then simply try and make sure the values are within 1% of each other.
@darknoise66626 күн бұрын
Exactly, that's why the balance you do it over a tiny part of the photograph where the color is white or neutral as someone told you.

Add me to the list. I bought a z7ii about 18 months ago. A few times, I turn it on and the lcd screen stays black but it always came on right away if I shut it off and started it again. Also I noticed many times if I flipped vertical, the LCD would go black. Flip it horizontal and it would come back. Now today on a shoot, I flip the camera on and the screen won't come on at all. Tried literally everything, nothing would get it to come back on. An hour later, it's coming on again magically. All in all, I've been completely dissatisfied with the z7ii. Indoor white balance SUCKS on it as well. Now to hear Nikon is denying the issue, maybe I need to start looking elsewhere for my next camera. Tired of this.

Well, I've been syncing by hand (I mean ear) for years cuz' I didn't know there is such a feature in premiere. Just yesterday I've come up with an idea to fasten my workflow to put on SOLO the main track and the track I want to sync, the first on left band and the other to the right. This fastened my workflow by 10x at least. Now I am mind blown that the whole process could be executed with 1 single click. Well.... we always learn something new.

So luckily I bought a mint D850 but decided to hold on to Z8 until I try the D850. I had previously owned a lot of DSLRs but have honestly got spoiled by the Z8 and forgot how it is to shot with a DSLR 🤣 Few days of shooting with a D850 and it was clear to me how good Nikon Z8 really. Its an amazing camera. I was so happy when I got Z8 in my hands again and decided it is gonna be my camera for a long time. If it doesnt fail me of course ☺
