Great tutorial as always Glyn and I am glad to see that you move much more from Ps tutorials to Lr tutorials, because I think that you are one of the best teacher in the Adobe community.
I moved away from Lightroom in favor of C1 a few years ago, but you sir are dragging me back one video at a time! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
WOW! Great video again Glyn. I didn't know how to use this feature in Lightroom before, but I certainly see it's value now. Thanks again for another inspiring video.
Another excellent video mate, thanks for sharing. Passed on to my photography students. One of them actually asked about colour grading last week. Workspace is looking great 😊👍👍👍
Cheers mate. Just been experimentng on a few things in Lightroom and blown away there's one thing I never thought would be possible ... only in PS but not the case. Video on way 😃
so impressive. your LR YT vids are truly eye opening. i am a total LR novice. perhaps a vid about getting started with organizing/DAM? and then a follow-up with getting started with post processing an image? i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.
Glyn, I mainly usse Photoshop and camera raw. Did Adobe neglect to put that color swatch box in camera raws version of color grading? Everything else seems too be the same. Thanks
Yeah they've left it out of Color Grasding in Camera Raw for some reason. Weirdly though they have included Tone Curve in Masking in Camera Raw but not in Lightroom 🤷♂️
Hopefully I didn't just miss this in your video. Can I reset the color palette in Color Grading. I have several colors saved there, would like to keep them after trying this technique. Great videos they are helping me in many ways.
Thank you very much Glyn for sharing your knowledge. I have had your book "El ladrón de Imagens" (in Spanish) for a long time, and it has been of great help to me. On UA-cam I follow you recently, but all the videos are super interesting. Again, thank you.
Hi, Glyn! Loved the video! I picked up a bunch of pictures I'd like to copy colors, but I'm unable to get the right colors with the dropper, it always shows differently from the spot I pick. Monitor is calibrated, Windows is set with the calibrated profile, converted the pictures to Adobe 1998 and sRGB (most of them didn't have a profile assigned), and nothing. For instance, rovering the dropper through a black area can return colors varying from pink to yellow, blue and purple. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks"
Thank you for this video. There is another easier way to get these pallets. Its in Adobe Color, just drag and drop the picture from the movie you want and voilaa!
Would you mind explain how it can be done? I loved @glyndewis video, but I'm struggling with the colors. Couldn't figure out yet the reason, but I'm unable to get the right colors with the dropper, it always shows a different color from the spot I pick. Thanks!
Hi Glyn - super interesting, however it seems pretty random how you pick shadows, midtones and highlights from your reference? Midtones - why the guy's shoulder? The referee's shirt is also in that area luminocity-wise? And the highlights - you could have chosen a different spotlight in a warmer color which would have given a completely different look, or am I missing something? My point being - your choises highly influence the colorbalance ...
Yeah could have chosen elsewhere … mid tones though as they are mainly the skin tone areas. It’s all experimenting but just shows a way you can grab colours and use them to replicate snd refine a look from other images / screen grabs
Great video Glyn, one of my favourites by far. Small thing though, try as I might, I can't seem to select a dark shadow to. For example, if I am taking a shadow tone from a dark coat, the colour picker seems to select all the other tones prior to the shadow tones and therefore not allowing me to select the shadow tone on the swatch. Am I missing something? regards
@@glyndewis Ahhh, i have just realised there's a difference between Lightroom Classic (your version) Lightroom CC (my version). Although I have the most up-to-date CC version, the Classic version has more functionality, including the eyedropper you use in this tutorial. Worth remenbering.
On my MacPro (running Monterey) this worked great for the first two presets I created, but I've tried multiple times to create a third preset, using exactly the same steps as before (I've done them all at the same time, one after the other), but when I apply the third preset to the image, no color grading is applied. Using the latest Lightroom. Any ideas?
Interestingly, this is a feature where Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw differ. There’s a color sampler tool in Camera Raw, but not the swatches that appear in Lightroom.
Hi Glyn - These latest tutorials has changed the way I work in Lightroom completely. I owe you a big one mate 👍🏼
So good to hear this mate … thank you. Must catch up at some point 👍🏻
Beats me how you just keep getting better and better with this stuff... Thank you Glyn
Very kind of you to say that Jason ... thank you 😉

That is so good of you to say Zelijko ... thank you

You're more than welcome William ... thanks for taking a look 👍🏻
I’m glad you released this one, I couldn’t remember all of the steps from the webinar.
No worries mate 👍🏻
Very useful. Had seen this a while back. Had to come back to see it again
Another brilliant and helpful video Glyn!
Thanks so much Janis
Awesome as always Glyn! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks Dom 👍🏻
Great videeo Glyn. I knew this tip, but not with the additional step to hold shift and adjust the colour! Makes all the difference!
WOW! Great video again Glyn. I didn't know how to use this feature in Lightroom before, but I certainly see it's value now. Thanks again for another inspiring video.
Thanka so muchBob ... glad you like it 👍🏻
Another fantastic video, thanks so much Glyn
Thanks for watching Tim 👍🏻
Brilliant! Absolutely what I've been looking for.
This is a major game changer in my life! Thank you very much, Glyn!
Glad it's useful
Great video. Informative and easy to understand! Terrific
Thanks so much ... glad you like it
Superb as always mate 👍
Thank you mate
Thank you so much Glyn, very helpful for me! A new method I learnt from you! Good luck and Blessings! 🙏
What a great video! Thank you!
Thanks so much

Sure thing Michael ... to reset the colors just right click on them and choose 'Reset all Swatches' 👍🏻
Thanks for looking in
Thx Glyn, finally I can go try a Ridley Scott approach on my Helios 40 (1960) portraits. I said: "Try". OK. Thanks a lot
love to see Greece to the upper left corner of the image
👍🏻

That’s wonderful to hear Alfredo…thank you.
By the way I’d love to see a photo of the front cover of the book … I’ve not seen the Spanish version yet.

Hey you're welcome ... thanks for watcihng
Hi Glyn! Since the swatches don't appear in ACR, how would you go about this there?
Thank you for this video. There is another easier way to get these pallets. Its in Adobe Color, just drag and drop the picture from the movie you want and voilaa!
Yeah it's a great way to grab the colours but unfortuntely not so easy to then use them in Lightroom etc ... Need to use Adobe Express
Would you mind explain how it can be done? I loved @glyndewis video, but I'm struggling with the colors. Couldn't figure out yet the reason, but I'm unable to get the right colors with the dropper, it always shows a different color from the spot I pick. Thanks!
how do you choose highlights, midtones, shadows?

What's that screen grab tool?
It’s built into Mac OS … Shift, Command, 3 for a full screen grab and Shift, Command, 4 for a user defined area 👍🏻
Great video Glyn, one of my favourites by far. Small thing though, try as I might, I can't seem to select a dark shadow to.

I have the same problem when trying to select dark areas for the shadow swatch.
Is it still possible to do it this way? I don't see the eye dropper tool in my version of Lightroom (6.1)?
Yes it's still possible to do this but not in the version you have; the color grading panel was added in Lightroom version 10.1
@@glyndewis Ahhh, i have just realised there's a difference between Lightroom Classic (your version) Lightroom CC (my version). Although I have the most up-to-date CC version, the Classic version has more functionality, including the eyedropper you use in this tutorial. Worth remenbering.
I’m surprised heading towards 2023, especially w the advancements of AI, it still takes this many steps to copy a color grading from a frame
I guess that’s because it’s not a common practice and priority is elsewhere such as in all the recent masking updates
On my MacPro (running Monterey) this worked great for the first two presets I created, but I've tried multiple times to create a third preset, using exactly the same steps as before (I've done them all at the same time, one after the other), but when I apply the third preset to the image, no color grading is applied.

By exiting LR and restarting, I was able to create and apply my third preset. Strange! :-)
Glad you got this sorted David ... some kind of bug there maybe ?
Protect this man at all cost. Just discovered Glyn yesterday and he's already in the running for my new best friend.
🤣
Interestingly, this is a feature where Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw differ. There’s a color sampler tool in Camera Raw, but not the swatches that appear in Lightroom.
Yeah also Tone Curve in Masking in ACR but not in Lightroom 🤷♂️
I think its easier using gradient maps in photoshop =)
Personal Preference mate ... no problem with that 😉
Great !!! But why can't I Like the video ? It is not showing for me...
Sorry ! It is but only the numbers not the thumb up !
Glad you like it mate but not sure why you can't see the thumbs up
@@glyndewis Thank you Glyn ! Now, I do see it.
Previously I clicked the number and there it was another like in this great video
Cheers ! :)
