Hi William thank you for showing me how to use colour grading , I thought I knew how to use colour grading, but I was wrong. I didn't know it all. cheers.

I have the perfect image that needs a retouch, I’ll use this technique and let you know how it goes

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Awesome mate, look forward to it :)

[@melissahall7009]

Thanks so much. I really need to work on my white balance & colors. Seems like I can’t find the right camera profile to get started with, then I keep trying to get it back to what I saw & from there just gets destroyed. 😐I did a color checker passport (taken in mid day sun) for each lens but the colors still never look correct for my sunset pics. This helps! 🤍🎨

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Personally I just leave the WB in auto as well as the profiles, and then do any colour adjustments manually in post, without much trouble at all. What camera are you using?

[@melissahall7009]

@@WilliamPatinoPhotography thank you. I was wondering how you did the profile. I notice all the differences in hues from what I saw & it drives me crazy trying to get the correct colors back.🤦‍♀️ I’m using the EOSR.

[@ethghill]

Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could use an eye dropped tool to make a selection during your color grading? To keep the colors more natural in an image? Come on Adobe 😂

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Absolutely!
