Step Three: Switch to the Detail tab.
In the Noise Reduction section, set the
Luminance to 44 and the Luminance
Detail to 62. Increasing the Vibrance
and Saturation in the previous step
created a strange blue tint on some of
the highlights, so switch to the HSL/
Grayscale tab, and in the Saturation
subtab, reduce the Blues to –66. Hold
the Option (PC: Alt) key to change the
Open Image button to Open Copy,
and click it to apply the settings and
open the file in Photoshop. (If you’re
in the Camera Raw Filter, click the
OK button.)Step Four: In Photoshop, use the
Crop tool (C) to crop out most of the
dog’s handler. Use the rule-of-thirds
grid with the Crop tool to put the top-
right intersection directly under the
dog’s snout. Holding down the Shift
key while resizing the crop window
will ensure it maintains the original
aspect ratio. Press the Enter key to
commit the crop.
