Chapter 5. Develop Making Serious Adjustments



Everything we have done up to this point every click of a button, every slide of a slider, every drag of a dragster, has all been leading up to this one single moment. The moment when you leave the relative safety and comfort of the Library module and venture into a wild, untamed territory that many seek but only few survive. This, my friends, is the Develop modulea scary and intimidating place with more complicated-looking buttons, checkboxes, and sliders than the Space Shuttle and a 747 combined. Now, if you're thinking that all this looks too technical and advanced for you, you're right. Nobody understands this module. I don't know what it does. Adobe doesn't know. I think a lot of the sliders are just put there for looks, and moving them doesn't actually affect anything in the photo whatsoever. For example, try moving the Deflatulator slider all the way to the right. I'm not sure it really does anything, but it sure took the wind out of me. Okay, that was pretty lame, but waitI have more. Open an image shot in RAW format, set your Exposure and Shadows, then try dragging the Cutlery Sharpening Amount to 75%. I'll bet your image still looks dull, and it just doesn't cut it. Are you getting any of these puns? I hope you are, because I swear, they're cracking me up.
