Thank you for watching my videos. I truly appreciate it!
There actually is a very easy way to delete points on your curve without having to right click on each one. Much like the rest of Lightroom, if you double click on a point it will remove that point and reset that section of the curve. Thank you for posting this video, after 8 years of using Lightroom I have understood what tone curve was but never fully grasped how to implicate it into my photography.
I look at other authors’ videos to maybe see a different angle or idea, but always I come back to yours. Totally accurate and at a useful pace so it is easy to keep up. Thanks for the effort you put into your videos. What a superb job!
Anthony, this is the best explanation of the tone curve I have seen. I have been using it for years but all I ever did was to make a slight "S" curve. You have expanded my horizons exponentially ! Thank you !
I can't thank you more, you are an excellent tutor.
You have opened my eyes to the full power of the tone curve. Thank you
The best explanation of the tone curve, lots to learn from this vid. Thank you for this.
Thank you! Another perfectly clear explanation of a very complicated LR tool. Stay well!
Perfect video for understanding this important feature.Ever since I started using the tone curves, my images quality and depth have increased. This video helps understand it even more, thanks for sharing Anthony!
Wow...that was truly awesome Anthony. I hadn't realised the full extent and power of the Tone Curve until you pointed it out so comprehensively here. This is one tute I will watch over and over . The part about the negatives will come in handy for me once I get scanning. Thanks mate.
Excellent explanation of the Tone Curve. I've been using it for a couple years but I still learned new skills.
As usual--another excellent video! I've not seen an in-depth demonstration/explanation for this feature of Lightroom before. Understandable and well done!
Thank you very much for this brilliant video. This is the best and most comprehensive explanation of the tone curve I have seen. It was great that you included the colour channels. I have been following you and watching your videos for about 4 years now and I'm looking forward to your new Photoshop series. Have a great day! :)
Thanks! I definitely feel I owe you a monetary tip for all of your great informative training videos that I have watched. This one on tone curves is really impressive. I had no idea all that I could do with the tone curve panel in LRC. You have a wide range of followers and I enjoy the way you go through all of the steps to explain the use of post processing software.
That is very kind of you to say Tom and thank you for the donation!
Thank your ever so much you actually put so much clarity into something I thought was difficult. Great tutor and exceptionally illustrated in this tutorial.
Yet another wonderful video as part of this priceless series. Thank you.
This is such an informative video and the information is delivered in an easily digestible manner. Thank you!
Thanks for this Anthony. I did your full UA-cam course a few years ago and then just recently was confused by the new tone curve and seem to have lost the medium and strong contrast. So for months now I’ve just use the exposure contrast slider. Then I decided to check you out again and you came to my rescue with this video. They are not lost. Just hidden. Many thanks.
Agree with all of the previous comments. This video is amazing and supremely useful
Thank you so much, i have learned a lot and also new things, and it's easy to follow for me, because you speak very clearly and in a nice pace.
you are an awesome teacher. (the Netherlands)
Thank you so much for these excellent informations. I did not know half of it before.
An exceptional video. So very well explained in detail..
Have been looking for a way to deal with photo negatives as some really old ones came my way. Thank you; love your series on LR Classic.
Explanation is awesome! Really excellent tutor in lightroom.
You are a so knowledgeable person. Thanks!
Thank you for this beautiful explanation in this video Antony
Thank you so much Anthony. I’m a bigggg fan.
Wonderful lesson! Much appreciated!
Thanks Tony. I never even knew the region curve existed. And I have watched a lot of LR videos
Thank you for the nice tutorial on tone curve
Thank you Anthony for a truly excellent tutorial.
Thank you!
absolutely brilliant
Excellent video and very useful information for me.
At last I have found a proper and simple explanation of how to use the TONE CURVE
Excellent explanation. Thanks.
Thank you you. I am here because the default tone curve (on my freshly installed LR Classic CC 2019) is the region tone curve, and it was driving me nuts.
Awesome Class. Thank you
Well done & well explained a difficult subject.
wow you are so a good-tutor for me. thank you so much 😍😍
Wonderful Class! Thanks!!
Easy and good explanation... appreciated 👏
Great video! Thank you
Thanks Anthony I have now got a complete handle on this
You are GOOD! 👍
19:15 -- mind blown!
Note that Adobe has since changed an important element of the interface for LR Classic CC's Tone Curve as shown in this video. Anthony turns on the Region Curve by clicking an icon in the lower right. In the current version, that icon has been moved from the lower right to the top of the Tone Curve window, to the right of where it says "Adjust." If you hover over it, a label pops: "Parametric Curve." Clicking that turns on the Region Curve. To switch back to Point Curve, click the icon to the right of the Parametric Curve icon.
I have a question. Perhaps you explain this later in the video than I've gone. What is the relationship between the Tone Curve and the sliders for Highlights and Shadows?
Very good tutorial. I would like to suggest you to use a landscape photo for demonstrating how to curve the RGB channels instead of tinting a BW. In landscape, people can bring up the blue sky, green the greens, yellow the tips of foliages. That really surprise people how powerful the curve tool is.
Love your videos and training! What is the main difference between adjusting tone curve vs. adjusting highlights/shadows/whites/blacks in basic?
Tone Curve does give a little more adjustable control of Highlights-Lights-Shadows-Darks compared to Highlights-Shadows-Whites-Blacks in Basic Adjustments as you'll see in the video at about the 5 minute mark, where Anthony shows how you can customize where the Tone Curve adjustments are applied (after enabling Parametric Curve by clicking the icon to the right of the word "Adjust" at the top of the Tone Curve window). I use one or both on different images. Experiment and see what works for you.
I add my thanks to everyone else's. I'm watching these a second time, now that I have a basic understanding of LR. I do have a question about the Tone Curve versus the Highlights & Shadows in the Basic adjustments. Is it that the Tone Curve allows more precision in adjustment? Do you usually use both the Basic Highlights & Shadows adjustments AND the Tone Curve adjustments when you're working on an image? I see that you have a B&W Workflow video; would it be possible to do one for a color image, or are there too many variables for that?
I love watching all of your videos to better understand LR! I do have one question that keeps bugging me I was hoping you can squash that bug. Does the tone curve do the exact same thing as the sliders (highlights and shadows and the others) in the basic tab? It appears to me that it does so I was wondering why use the tone curve? Is it just more precise than using the sliders in the basic tab so that's why it gets its own tab? Thanks in advance!

Hey Anthony!
I see some of your photos are from the Buffalo area. I had a music teacher named Carolyn Morgante. Any relation?
Thanks for your thorough lessons. They really help!
No, no relation. Thank you for watching!
undeniably the most well-spoken and articulate Lr teacher I have come across. I just canceled my Peachpit account. Anthony has everything on here and does not ever stumble, or say "ummm"
19:28 omg 😀 I don't know this trick before
HELP: Is it necessary to use tone curves? or do i do basic corrections first and then just do tone curves to control contrast?
No one way, no right or wrong answer to this for everyone. Some people prefer to do Basic Adjustments (note: there is a Contrast slider there). Some people prefer to use Tone Curve. Some do both. You don't *have* to adjust Tone Curve if you're happy with how the image looks with just Basic Adjustments. Tone Curve does give a little more adjustable control of Highlights-Lights-Shadows-Darks compared to Highlights-Shadows-Whites-Blacks in Basic Adjustments as you'll see in the video at about the 5 minute mark, where Anthony shows how you can customize where the Tone Curve adjustments are applied (after enabling Parametric Curve by clicking the icon to the right of the word "Adjust" at the top of the Tone Curve window). I use either or both on different images. Experiment and see what works for you.
By accident i found that if you double click on the control point then it is deleted and the curve returns to the original ( eventually) as you remove more control points.
In one of your tone curve videos you showed that the parametric curve and the point curve were independent of each other. In Lightroom Classic 9.4 this no longer seems to be the case. The point curve affects the parametric curve. Have you noticed this? What happened?
