    Hi Matt, congratulations on the tutorial! We’re a video production company based on the beach in Brazil, so 100% of our work includes beach scenes. We’ve seen significant improvement in the color grading of landscapes, and we’d love to see more of how you would handle beach scenes, like the color of the sea, the sand, the rocks, etc. Congratulations again, and we’re subscribed to your channel!

      @@devo5566 Oh no, perhaps I made it look too easy in the video when really it takes a lot of time and practice. Make sure your brush's opacity and flow isn't set to 100% or else your going to add too much Dodge and Soft Light to the image all at once. You can change the flow and opacity at the top of the PS page when you have the paint brush selected. Hope that helps 🙂

You obviously have a very refined and speedy workflow, but anyone could apply the thinking if they have a basic familiarity with editing software. I like the fact that this is still quite simple but a lot more nuanced than the built in tools. I look forward to trying it out.

    Great video, thank you. I do basically the same thing color dodging and burning with a luminosity mask but I like this method. I use ACR so used your color grading method in ACR and then tried it on a second image when I took the image into PS to finish. Very similar results using both methods but do like PS better. Quicker than using luminosity masks.

  • @claudiogavinho
    @claudiogavinho 8 місяців тому +3

    Great video as always, Matt. I usually do the global adjustments in LR (or Camera Raw) and the specific adjustments in PS. It's the way I work faster.
    In LR, to enhance color, I first use the blue channel in the Calibration panel.
    I noticed something that might be important, especially for those who are not used to editing with masks: controlling the opacity, flow, and smoothing of the brush.

    • @MattShannonPhoto
      @MattShannonPhoto  8 місяців тому +1

      Thank you! My work flow is basically the same as yours, global adjustments in LR and then throw it into PS for the detail work. I've used Capture One and I liked it, but most of my work is done in Adobe software including Premier Pro for video, Bridge for organization, After Affects when needed and a few more. So... LR will have to do considering the all-in-one package I pay for. I do like how adobe works well with other adobe software, Bridge to LR to PS and back to LR, and their printing adjustments are easy to use when printing at home both in LR and PS. I'm sure Capture One is good too but I never got to that state when I used it.

    • @claudiogavinho
