Lightroom style Graduated filter?

I just started working with DNG images, which I thought was great because I could color correct them in Lightroom 5, which I'm used to because I have a background in stills. However I quickly realized if I put any graduated filters or such down, of course they won't follow any camera movements. I know Resolve can do tracking, and I see Premiere can now / soon too.
So far I wanted to reduce the saturation of a frosty paddock, while boosting it in the sky for the sunrise. It seemed the best way to do that was a graduated filter. Is that possible in Premiere? Or do I need to look at After Effects or Resolve for that?
Any thoughts would be great. Thanks!

There are reports that tracking doesn't work so well but, in theory, you could do this by applying masks to each area, color correcting them separately, and then tracking them.
The masking/tracking options are available in color correction effects -- fast, 3-way, luma curve, etc.  To treat these two areas, you'd apply two such effects to the clip, for the two different areas -- draw the mask, color correct that masked area and track it.  Add these effects above any primary corrections, otherwise you may get strange behavior -- the order of the effects is important and sometimes, in unpredictable ways.  And again, can't vouch for tracking, you'll need to try.

  • Lightroom 5 Graduated filter will not work from the centre out

    Hi
    I am running Lightroom 5.6 but I think this has always been the same. The Graduated filter in the Basic Development module only seems to work from the edges inward (from top/bottom or sides). I would like to create a filter across the centre (for a lake) but I can figure how to do this. I guess the only way is to use the new Radial filter is that correct (I would prefer to use the Grad filter).

    To create the equivalent of a Graduated filter with the effect starting at the center you can drag the radial filter endpoint to stretch it off-screen. Use the hand tool to push the radial filter off-screen and then drag the endpoint out further. You may need to do this a few times. You can also use two Graduated filters back to back, which gives you the ability to apply a centered Exposure correction and adjustments for Highlights and Shadows correction that are different on each side.

  • Lightroom 5 graduated filter no lines no center dot

    Lightroom 5.6.  When I use the graduated filter I do not get the lines to show me the boundaries.  The pivot dot is not visible.  I do not get a a hand to adjust the lines.  There are no lines, no pivot point.  Weird.  The graduated filter is unusable in this mode.  It used to work just fine. 

    In the Toolbar (lower left) make sure Show Edit Pins is not set to Never.

  • Lightroom 4 Graduated Filter tool

    How do you change from compact mode to expanded mode in Graduated filter tool in Lightroom 4?

    What do you mean by Compact mode?
    - When you select the graduated filter, the menu expands. When you deselect the Graduated filter the menu rolls up.

  • Has the width and colour of the graduated filter changed in Lightroom 5.4?

    Hi,
    Has the width and colour of the graduated filter changed in Lightroom 5.4? The 3 lines seem to be too narrow, almost a hairline, and not white enough. I can barely see them on a calibrated monitor and did not have that problem before upgrading to Lightroom 5.4.
    Thanks for your help.
    Kind regards,

    Ok, je vois où pourrait se situer le problème....
    Il faut baisser la luminosité de cet écran, le mieux est de mettre la luminosité à 50% et de calibrer cet écran avec une sonde, par exemple une Syder4pro ou une autre !
    OK, I see where could be the problem...Lower the brightness of the screen, the better is the brightness to 50% and to calibrate this monitor with a probe, for example a Syder4pro or another!
    Best regards

  • Graduated filter migration to lightroom 4 (editing lost when upgrading)

    After upgrading from 3 to 4, some editing is lost. In my case, the use of graduated filter with various effects are completely lost. How can I recover the edits?

    How did you upgrade? Are the "effects" zeroed or just changed? Did you
    update process version to 2012?

  • The graduated filter in my Lightroom 4 is not working properly.

    When I highlight the area I want to change and start making adjustments (and the black dot is in the circle), the whole photo changes. I have used this tool successfully many times in the past and don't understand why it stopped working. Ideas?

    The black dot is in the circle that shows where the graduation filter is being used. When I use any of the sliders to change what I highlighted with the graduated filter, it changes the whole photo, not just what I selected.

  • Lightroom - Graduated Filter 'Angle' slider?

    Can I please suggest a hopefully useful feature request for the next version?
    Would it be possible to add an 'Angle' slider to the Graduated Filter panel. Adjusting the angle by grabbing the center line handle is very twitchy, and can only be aligned by eye. More often than not I always start by pulling down from the top, or up from the bottom, a leveled filter, and I spend too much time fiddling around trying to get it level. With an Angle slider, and setting its slider default to horizontal (180 deg) would be ideal, more accurate and give a very useful alternative for placement control IMHO.
    Any thoughts?

    I am not certain that a numerical value makes sense here. One would surely want the Grad Filter to be defined in relation to the picture content. So any subsequent adjustment to the crop angle (image straightening), perspective warp etc could/should then cause this stated value to alter, which may be confusing. Or, if pasted between images, is it meant to work to each one's crop, or original framing?
    But I think a "helper" would be useful - LR may already do the below, I cannot check just now .
    I'd logically expect to see a Shift key modifier. Grab the handle to rotate, and it turns freely unless you are holding down Shift, in which case the grad constrains itself temporarily to align with the edges of the current crop.

  • Has anyone had problems using the Graduated Filter in Lightroom 4.1?

    I have tried many times to get the graduated filter to work on DNG's and any file extensions
    and I am having trouble with it. Anyone with suggestions? I have looked at tutorials and still to no avail
    Cheers

    Can you explain a little bit more ,eventually show us a screenshot ?
    Did you switch it to OFF ? see:

  • Graduated filter and Adjustment brush always use "last used effect"

    In my workfow I mostly use opposite effects in the Graduated filter and Adjustment brush.
    Lightroom maintains "least used effect" even when changing tools.
    Is it possible that each tool retains its last used effect?
    In my workflow I mostly use opposite effects when using Adjustment brush en gradient filter. Changing the effects wastes a lot of time when editing hundreds of images.

    I agree that it would be nice if the individual tools remembered their own last used preset.
    Unfortunately LR does not work that way.

  • Highlight loss when using adjustment brush & graduated filter.

    Hi
    I'm using Lightroom 2.2 on a Mac.
    Is anyone else having the same problem? :
    When using the graduated filter or adjustment brush on an image it seems to cause some of the top end highlights to burnout, which is rather frustrating as it is usually when I am trying to rein them in a little.
    It seems to happen automatically even when not working directly on those areas and I cannot pull them back with the localised adjustment tools themselves.
    Any thoughts would be most welcome.
    Thanks
    Graham

    Hi Eric
    Thanks for your reply
    I've had another look at it... whenever I have a negative exposure setting on the brush or gradient and apply it anywhere in the image it seems to affect the top end highlights throughout the image even if they haven't been clicked on.
    It's just a small change but it is frustrating to lose highlight detail when you've worked hard to capture it in camera!
    Look forward to hearing from you.

  • Can't apply Graduated Filter and Radial Filter in LR5 (photo becomes grey box)

    Hi,
    I am using the Lightroom 5, every functions are working fine, except the Graduated Filter and Radial Filter casuing me a problem.
    When I click on the Graduated Filter / Radial Filter button, and trying to apply the filter (i.e. draw the eclipse) on my photo, my photo in the central pane immediately turns grey, as per below screenshot.
    I have to click the Library Module and then click Develop Module in order to get back the photo showing in the central pane, but the same problem appears if I tried to use the Graduated and Radial Filters.
    Anybody knows the root cause and solution ? Please kindly help. Thank you !

    The easiest thing should be to simply apply the preset to an image, then choose to Update with Current Settings and make sure Graduated Filter is unchecked. Move through all of your presets like this.
    I don't know how many suspect presets you have to go through, but you can also manually edit them with a simple text editor to remove the Graduated filter. If you right-click on the preset, you can show in Explorer/Finder. Open the file in Notepad/TextEdit and simply remove the GradientBasedCorrections section (this has many sub-fields, most of which start with "Local"). Save the file and move on to the next.

  • Graduated Filter creates saturated image

    Still getting to grips with Lightroom 3 and the graduated filter is working in strange ways. When I apply it the whole image goes super saturated and high in contrast. I have to click back in the history and then back on to the latest adjustment to make it go away. Anyone else seen anything similar?
    OS X 10.5.8

    original image
    grad applied to top half and whole image goes supersaturated
    click back in history and then forward and all is at it should be.
    Lightroom 2 didn't do this.

  • Graduated filter - remember last settings?

    When I use the graduated filter on a picture I adjust highlights, exposure etc, and then go to another picture.  Then if I choose radial tool, the settings from the last pic's graduated filter are there!  If I change the settings on the adjustment brush and go to another picture and choose graduated filter, the settings are from the adjustment brush.
    How do I force lightroom to remember the last settings for each of the filters ( radial tool and the adjustment brush, graduated filter) and not contaminate the other two?
    I hope I am clear.

    Yes.
    Click and hold the two small vertical bars bottom of each column while holding down the Option key and drag either way to desired width.
    Close the Finder window then re open it.
