Glad to hear it!
Thanks for this video. I like your straightforward teaching style and appreciate the links in the description. Many thanks!
You're most welcome
The curves tool is also available in GIMP. It is my favorite, goto tool for adjusting the contrast balance of my photos. So intuitive to use.
Awesome!
WOW Darlene, spelled backwards!! No one has done a tutorial as simplistic and creative as you have!! And yes...Curves are now more front and center for stylizing....who need LUTS...many thanks..

Great video, learned a lot !! I will start using curves , now I know how to. Thank you Darlene
Glad it was helpful!
Very good explanation of a very powerful tool, one that I need to use in my post processing
Great to hear!
I've been using the curve tool in ON1 to enhance contrast, occasionally using the color selector to target. specific color range, but haven't really experimented with multiple control points to create localized "S-curve" regions. Thanks,
Welcome
That was awesome, if I do say so myself.
Thanks
Awesome info thanks
Glad it was helpful!

Great to hear!
This is a great video! I have experimented with curves a little, this video helped me understand the versatility of this tool. Thank you.
Great to hear!
I use the curves tool a lot, even in video editing as well. Great tutorial, I always learn something from your video's. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks that's nice of you to say
Thank you Darlene, yes I will use more the curves now!
Wonderful!
Very informative thank you
Very welcome
I use curves very little because I really don't have a lot of knowledge about them. Thanks to your great tutorial, I intend to practice what I've learned and hope to use curves a lot more often. Thank you Darlene.
Awesome
Great lesson, thank you😊
My pleasure!
I always open Curves, hit my "J" key and use the white point to reduce any clipping if I need to when starting an edit and I use the Black point to see a tiny bit of the black clipping. I always forget that Red/Green/Blue are there😆. This video is jolting my brain - let's hope it sticks! If you use Curves, it is less likely we need to use the other sliders - or is Curves a great starting point and just tweak the other sliders "to taste"? If you use Curves will you NOT have to touch the Blacks & Whites slider for example? As you go wild experimenting in this video you are showing us to "do what you want until you see what you like" - is that accurate?
You can do any of the above. There is no right or wrong as long as you get a result you're happy with. I just show what's possible to get your brain thinking about it!
