Tip, Removing noise from audio in Adobe Premiere Pro

// September 6th, 2007 // 2 Comments » // Adobe Priemere Pro

In this little tutorial,I am just giving you a quick tip on how to remove the noise from the audio track in adobe premiere pro.

Drag the footage on time-line.
Open the effects panel.
Go to Audio effects.

there you can see three categories, now it depends that which type of audio mode do you have to which you want to remove the noise.But most of time the audio is Stereo mode.So i am going with stereo.

Under Audio Effect open the stereo drop down.
There you will find the the DeNoiser effect
Drag and drop the effect on your audio channel.

Now go to Effect control pannel….Windows—>effect control.

There you will see the that DeNoiser is applied under the channel’s audio effect……Note…if you are not seeing it under there then either you have not selected the audio channel or the effect is not applied on audio channel …you could repeat the step again.

Ok now pree the small arrow on the left of the DeNoiser effect to open it options

There you will see two option, one is custom setup and second is Individual parameters.

Open the Individual parameters by clicking the arrow on the left.

Open Reduction, there you will see a slider…now slide it to the left as much as the noise is over from the audio you can test the audio by playing the play button on preview monitor or by hitting the ‘Space Bar’ on the keyboard.You can also adjust the slider position during the playback.

You can also play with the offset an freeze options to get it perfect.

I hope this solves the problem…

Thanks for being in touch.

From Black and White to Color in Photoshop

// September 3rd, 2007 // 9 Comments » // Adobe Photoshop

Today i am going to show how you can convert the old looking black and white image to color without any plugin in adobe photoshop 7.

Here is what u get after doing the tutorial

Click to enlarge

You can either download that image and start working as i do or you can take the image of your own choice and transform the tutorial according to that.

So lets get started

Open the image in photoshop.

Colorizing the SKIN.

We will first colorize the skin then hairs, eyes, eyebrows, teeth gums and shirt.

1-Click the new adjustment layer button below the layer panel and select the Hue and Saturation..

2-Check the colorize and preview check boxes on Hue and Saturation dialog box and then set the Hue=26, Saturation=90 and lightness=0.

3-Rename the adjustment layer to “skin” by double clicking the name on layer panel.

3-Go to edit menu and select the fill , then choose black under use dropdown and make sure blending mode is set to normal and opacity is 100%.

4-Select the brush tool and make sure the foreground color is set to white and background color is black.

5-Go and start painting the all the skin parts, this you have to do carefully, if some color spills on the other parts outside then do not worry just turn the foreground color to black and then brush the parts where the color is outside the skin.

Get some thing like the following image

6-make sure the adjustment layer is still in selection and then set the blending mode to color and set the opacity to 30%.
(Note you can set the opacity and mode according to your own need….Just play with it to see how it produces different effects.)

This is what i get after that

……woooow quite horrified but face and skin parts are looking good,

if u do not like the face color you can go to blending options of the adjustment layer and fill it with any color you want and set the opacity according to your own need but as for this specific tutorial i am not going to do that.

Colorizing the lips.

Select the original image layer in the layer panel, in my case as i did not but the image on a separate layer…so its background layer.

For colorizing the lips you can repeat the steps from 1 to 4 of above section, on step 2 i used these values for lips.
Hue=0, Saturation = 100, Lightness = 0.

Rename this adjustment layer to “lips”.

At step 6 set the blending mode again to color and set the opacity to 50% .

see the result by clicking the above image.

Colorizing the teeth gums and internal borders of the eyes.

Repeat all the steps above….The hue and saturation values are

Hue = 20, Saturation = 100, lightness = +53.

Blending mode = color, Opacity = 50%.

This time brush the tooth gums and the internal eyes border.

Colorizing the Hairs and eyebrows.

Repeat all the steps in sec1

Hue and saturation values are…

Hue = 29, saturation = 32, Lightness= +70.

Blending mode= color, opacity = 18%.

Tip: it useful to only color the thickest hairs no need to color the each hair.

Colorizing the eyes.

For eye i used following settings.

Hue= 49, Saturation = 25, Lightness = 0

Blending mode = Color, Opacity = 100%.

Colorizing the Hair Clip and Cloths.

Use any Color you like……

This is what i got finally.
