    Nigel, thanks for this eye-opener. I always struggle with the greens and greenish colors. The theory of occurence dependency in sunlights and shadows was clear to me but the use of right (!) processing steps in the tool was very helpfull to manage in future. Also thanks for the hint and link to the color page at Adobe.

    Fantastic Nigel. That's packed with a lot of information that's going to be a real help with editing. I struggle a lot with getting colours to look right particularly the greens. More so when printing. Brilliant explanation of how colours work with each other. It's driven home everything I watched in the past and not really understood. The Adobe tool is going to be very useful. Thank you very much for sharing.

    First, it’s so good to see you outside Nigel! Outstanding tutorial on color, I often use calibration but more often at the end to add pop to my images, I’ll try using it at the earlier in the edit process now. Thanks Nigel!

    This is probably one of your best videos for improving your photos consistently! People are missing out as it's not one of your top viewed ones!
    Alot of people seem to have problems with composition I see online and don't talk as much about balance with in colour's in landscape photography. This has been the longest thing for me to get right and still don't! Hopefully now with this new information I will get over that hurdle! Thanks so much 🙏

  • @lphilpot01
    @lphilpot01 2 роки тому +10

    From what I understand (and have experienced) whether in Lightroom or any other image editor, using white balance for artistic purposes is risky. Not that you recommended it, but your IG question revealed apparently many folks do use it that way. IMO white balance should be adjusted to provide a color-temperature-appropriate base from which to start. In other words, a level playing field. Once done, other tools can be used for artistic purposes. In my experience, there are too many unintended side effects when using white balance as a creative tool. It's global and will affect colors often far away from what's intended.
    Great video!

    @steviesteve750 Рік тому +1

    This is a great tutorial, I wasn't aware of the colour wheel feature in Adobe! I use the WB as a replacement for old skool warm up filters, though it's not great. I use the calibration sliders a lot, they are much more subtle than the HSL. I agree that green foliage on a sunny day using the Adobe Landscape profile are generally a horrible colour! I've also learnt how to use colourmask, that's a game changer for me!

    Many thanks for this video Nigel as for me you have clarified the mystery of HSL, Color Grading and Calibration, where, when and how to use them. I have struggled in the past as to how and when to use the different colour tools in Lightroom and how they work for different images. Hopefully I will not be able to edit colours in my images in a more realistic way.

    Thank you for doing a video on color editing. I don't use the color grading tool at all, but will try it going forward. I do use the calibration tool at the end the editing process, but I see the advantage of using it at the beginning. I've bookmarked this for future reference, as I'm sure I'll need to refer to it. I love the adobe cc tool. I had no idea it existed.
    Thanks, Nigel, and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
