Many thanks Blake. As always a very well explained video. Calibration was a closed book for me, not easy to understand - until I saw it in one of your videos. Thanks for the refresher.
I'm reference many older videos you uploaded to help with different processing challenges. You're 5 Basics to Blend-If started me on my adventure to improving my editing skills. I refer to different Critiques because so many little tips help out.
Love your work Blake, so glad I found you that now I can understand about colors shifting. Possible to do one video of step by step from Raw image to WOW. Keep up with your talented tutorials.
Thanks so much! On UA-cam, I typically reserve this space for problem/solution visits as that's what most people are searching for here. However, on f64elite.com there is no end to the types of tutorials you are looking for. I reserve that knowledge for my Elite community it's more suited and more successful there than on UA-cam.
Great info Blake. I’ve been using Photoshop since 1994, but I find that my understanding of color theory and corrections has increased tenfold since I started watching your videos. Thanks for that. Some videos I’d like to see are about how to get the correct color in prints. So much of our work these days is only seen online and with displays being able to show 16 million colors you have a large area of colors that cannot be reproduced correctly either in for a color reproduction or in prints. I’d like to see how are you make sure the colors you see on screen can actually be reproduced on paper. Years ago with my first printer, annEpson 4000, I found that I could not get accurate printing at all printing directly out of Photoshop. I had to spend a good deal of money on a RIP program, ImagePrint, and was able to get amazingly accurate color from screen to paper. But it was very expensive. I don’t currently have my own printer so I’d like to learn how to create my own color profiles that will let me accurately translate what I see on my screen to lab prints or provide my commercial work to clients that I know will be reproducible for their purposes.
Thanks so much! I appreciate your comments, you have a wide breadth of experience! Color calibration for a printer you don't print on is almost next to impossible to get perfect. It's a two part concept, you'd need to know their printer and the paper they are printing on and those variables change from printer to printer and paper to paper. You could probably get it close, but I don't think you'd get it perfect. It's hard to know without printing it yourself. Even when I print myself on my own paper the color isn't always perfect, so I do a test print and then use a selective color adjustment layer to correct the color. Unfortunately, you dont have that option with a print company because you don't generally get to see a test print.
Well deserved , but you should have more than a million subscribers. Any time I need info or have any doubts on color correction (or adjustment) I come to your channel.
Wow, thank you! I'm pretty happy where I am, of course, there is the desire for more. But those who find me know what they will get and I am happy to provide!
Thank u very much, nice info, that what im strugling most in lightroom, skin tone, because i want my portraits to look a little bit like paintings, anyway, thaanks!!
I beg you can you do a new video about metal printing recommendations I randomly found your 5 year old video about that. I hope please you make a new updated version. Thank you so much either way happy new year
I'm still about the same as where I was 5 years ago on that. I don't print on metal much anymore, so I don't have many preferences for it now. The same companies are still good.
Awesome video... as usual :) Question to you Blake: is it possible for you to do a video on sharpen photos for printing? I've been editing my photos, only watching them on screens, but recently I sent some of my photos to be printed, and I got mixed results, specially on those where I did not use the smart sharpen filter on all the image. Meaning, I tend to apply the smart sharpen filter on all the image and then apply a black mask and then paint only some areas of the image to become sharpen and leave the other areas masked out. I got mixed results and not sure if this is actually the best thing to do. Would be great to see some video from you over sharpen images, specially when we are thinking having it printed. All the best for 2022!
Please do a video on how to make natural selection masks(not luminosity masks) of anything with edges that look natural and not fake or sharp in photoshop . Please please please
Don't get hung up on how I opened ACR ;) This is just about the function of the tools. User Interface may appear different but the function is the same.
@@f64Academy Thank you for the reply. Guess I didn't understand when you mentioned how much better the targeted adjustment tool was in LrC and that it was so much better than photoshop when the tool can only be found in the PS ACR plugin.
@@Yupthereitism dang! I bet you're the kind of person who asks for gift receipts too. Or the kind of person who gets mad at the people at Costco giving out FREE samples. Why can't you leave well enough alone and just be a nice person? I do this stuff for free and people find a lot of value in it. If you don't have anything nice to say, why bother saying it? All good. I'm still going to be here, making content for you.
Dude I am so blown away by how powerful the calibration tool is it’s literally the most powerful under cover weapon
It certainly is! My favorite secret weapon 😁😁😁
Excellent explanation of Calibration. Thank you!

For sure, that's actually a great topic. I will add it to my list of tutorials.

I am confused. You have accessed ACR through photoshop; is that correct? The interface in LrC has a different targeted adjustment tool.
Don't get hung up on how I opened ACR ;) This is just about the function of the tools. User Interface may appear different but the function is the same.
@@f64Academy Thank you for the reply. Guess I didn't understand when you mentioned how much better the targeted adjustment tool was in LrC and that it was so much better than photoshop when the tool can only be found in the PS ACR plugin.
It's there in Lightroom, just slightly different as far as the user interface is concerned. It's in the upper left corner of the HSL tool.
The skin tones already look perfect thought before editing…
Then just take the tutorial for face value...............
@@f64Academy you mean of no value? Which it has none of………….
