Color matching in Adobe Lightroom just got much easier thanks to the Reference View function. Last time we talked about matching the color grade of any image to one of your own, but we did that in Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop provides more tools and makes it somewhat easier to calculate an edit. But we can still do this in Lightroom or even Capture One with the Curves Adjustment tool. If we understand what it is we are seeing in terms of color, then we can make the necessary adjustments. I would argue that this is a much more useful skill than just mathmatically copying - your editing skills will improve as well as the quality of your photographs.

In OS X, under Applications and then Utilities, you have the digital color meter which allows you to measure the colour of anything on your display regardless of your editing software.
I just wanna say thanks for the video. I started off years ago as a penciler, inker & then moved over to be a colourist for a small comic book company. I wasn’t very good. I like retina burning colours (to this day), & I got that from growing up in Central & South America, where many of the indigenous clothing is made from bright bright colours. Learning to see and discern colours are two very different things, and it is important to be able to discern good colour pallets & combinations, and this technique here is a great way to start learning colour theory. I look forward to more of your videos. Thanks again!
This is the first of your videos I’ve come upon, and just as I’m switching to using Lightroom AND trying to learn more about color grading. This is one of those rare UA-cam videos that caused an immediate breakthrough for me. So rare and so appreciated, thank you!
Thanks mate, I'm currently studying for a Diploma in Photography, and I had to explain Colour Matching, this video really taught me a lot! 👍
I learned so much in this 13 minute video. The fact that my Tone Curve was locked and I needed to unlock it has escaped me for a year. Thanks for.not assuming we all know even the most simplistic things or things others may find simple.
Like not enough, where do I click for brilliant?!
Yeah it took me a sec to get it too. He forgot to show where he was clicking but you need to select a gradient tool, up where apear the options to crop, brush, etc. you can choose the radial or linear (it doesn’t matter) after selecting it you will see the color option and from there like he said just hold alt/option and click and drag from inside the color box to the area you want to sample. Hope this helps.
In Capture One, you could probably put both images up side by side, and then add RGB read out labels to the highlights, mid-tones and shadows of both images and then adjust the levels or curves of the new image until the numbers match.
I've watched about 10 different videos on this RGB blending and colour grading shit, and this is finally my Eureka moment, thankyou!
Every day is a school day, this is excellent knowledge to pass on, I've been trying to figure this out on my own without success but has now opened up a new level in my editing process to get the look and feel in my images that I've been after,so thankyou very much for sharing.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, Ted. I've been using these curves for quite some time and always wanted to tell people how powerful this tool is. Your video not only introduced, in a very understandable manner, how curves work; I also find myself learning new things about it.
This is fantastic! Most likely many of us will take this concept or idea and run with it as it seems that the possibilities are endless. Like with many things in the arts its important to learn the basics before experimenting. Thanks Mr. Ted Forbes for all these great videos and your passion for Photography!
Thanks! These two videos were what was missing from my understanding of "basic" color grading, I can't thank you enough
Ted - this is the best tutorial I have run across on using the separate RGB channels in the Tone Curve panel in Lightroom, or in Photoshop for that matter. Excellent work and thank you so much.
Watching this in 2023. This was amazing!! Curves definietly explained amazingly. Cannot wait to experiment with my own images :)
I'm loving these how-to guides Ted, Thanks!
Thanks Ted for another fantastic informative video learned so much in these last two videos
Same here!
FANTASTIC!!! I was looking to color match a couple images for a posting. What I got was sooo much more. Now I want to spend the rest of my day color matching some of my own photos to stills from epically graded movies. Good by productivity for today!
This is a fantastic video! I haven't seen any "pros" make this seem so simple without charging me $299! Thank so much, Ted!
I usually watch you cover other photogtaphers, and listen to your more philosophical videos, which is absolutely wonderful, but dang, this is a nice portrait.
that color picker tip at 10:30 is amazing, exactly what I needed to know! thanks alot!
Didn’t have a clue that this existed, or knew enough to know about it. Pretty neat stuff. It’s good to learn about the hidden gems. Now I need to try and understand the tone curve more.
fantastic explanation video ,i was looking so long for this tutorial specific for lightroom .thank you so much.the shortcut for the color picker to find the shadows and highlights blew my mind ,using lightroom for so long and you are the first person to mention this ,game-changer !!!!
Thank you for giving us again some good advice... makes me think of the early years of your channel where you were making fantastic content and taking the time to teach us photography in all its depth. Been a follower for years now and will keep on being a fan.. Merci..
Just like the last one this is fantastic I've super enjoyed this little series.
Amazing, Ted! Thanks so much for this lesson, especially the “colour picker” trick in Lightroom and clear explanation of how to use the Tone Curve to achieve colour matching. Brilliant!
Thank you SOO much!! my product photos look much more professional now!
Hey Ted,just wanna thank ya for all what you share!! I have learn a tons from you,thanx again!!!
Thank you very much watching your video helped me much more I had an idea about the color combination but watching your video is easier 🙏
thank You very much! You are one of my favourite teachers!
this is heckin great, thank you! balancing 6 colours on 3 layers/channels is breaking my brain, but it's super helpful p.s. the colour picker hack is really cool, thanks for sharing
My whole problem is solved now in one video thanks alot😍❤️
I love this video very very much. It's clear me about color control in Lightroom. Thank you Ted.
Thanks for these videos Ted.
After watching them I've pulled out all my old stuff shot on Fuji c200 and got a pretty close profile. Very happy with this and I'll be using this for a project I'm working on. Thanks for the great content
Wow! Funny how we can get so stoked on the little things. Great tip!
That color picker is very helpful! Thanks so much!
Thank you for your help. you make me understand better how to use and think about tone curves !
Great video! I've been playing with color tone curves a good bit lately but that color picker trick will save me soooo much time. Thanks!
I've started saving off my favorite sets of curves as custom curves. That way I can add them separate from any preset or other adjustments; it's like being able to swap what kind of film you used in a camera independent of your other edits!
I never knew you could change the channel in the LR curves panel. Thanks for the heads up. 3dlutcreator is by far a more powerful color matching tool for LR, PS, and C1.
Thirteen minutes of excellence. Thanks Ted.
Best explanation of rgb curves ive seen, thank you!
This was a great video as always, great color grading information. The tip about getting the color picker outside the color pallet in Lightroom? Priceless! Thank you once again.
thanks for the tutorial. that's very help me for getting color i want!
This is fabulous. I’m going to give this concept a try in Premiere Pro for my videos.
This just blew my mind!!!!
The best videos on UA-cam bar none! Thank you again Ted
Wow! That's amazing...picking colors using the Alt key! Thanks!
Your work is timeless!
Such an amazing and helpul video! You've given me more confidence to dabble with the tone curve and really allowed me to indulge in my curiosity to replicate colour grading from movies (mostly Wes Anderson) and I'm somehow coming across cool film/ retro emulations too! Thank you so much for sharing this video and your knowledge!
What? This is unbelievable, wow. Thank you so much!!
I learned more about the tone curve tool here, than I have in most videos. Thank you! :-D
You are my favorite blogger on UA-cam!
Awesome tutorial, thank you!
Woah RGB Tone Curve finally make sense to me now lol Thank You Ted!!!!!!!
Ted - this is excellent - like really excellent. Most of the other videos they talk too much but they say nothing.
I’m just going to bring down these highlights and take down those shadows😃🤣🤣 why are they doing that? WE DONT KNOW🙄🙄😂🤣🤣🤣
But this video is very clear and very well explained.
If I had a hat, I would take it off.
Incredible tutorial
This was so enlightening. Pardon the pun but Ted was very helpful
This is just exactly the thing I was looking for.
Very informative video. Makes it so much easier to understand how powerful the curves are and how to replicate certain looks. Really cool!
This is also a fantastic way to make color presets for Lightroom! I was using the HSL and color sliders to get film profiles from some images I found, but this seems way more intuitive. Thanks for another great video Ted!
This the best video explaining the curves and color. Thank you so much. You rock
Adobe capture is a free app for your phone that can be used to get Hex values for up to 5 points in an image. I haven't used it for this application yet but I can see it being useful.
um that video revolutionized my thinking
This is great! Easy enough to digest for newbs. Keep it up Ted 👍👍
Great tutorial! Thank u Sir!
Thanks Ted!
Ted, thanks for this. I’ve only used the main rgb curve in CapOne, but now I have a bit more knowledge. Take care!
Thank you so much! Very helpful. What picture profile should I use for my photos? Is adobe color the right one? Or should I use in camera profiles?
Great info, very useful.... I like to make as many adjustments in Lightroom as possible! Thanks sir!
Very interesting video! Thanks.
Excellent video, earned a sub. Very helpful, to the point, and no BS. Love it.
Great! Thanks. Also - Amelie is a great film :)
Thank you so much Ted. I love this video. I'm going to train myself with many pictures with this.
Thanks Ted another excellent tutorail
Very clear, thanks
Neat, clear, and direct. Thank you
More vids like this Ted. Learned loads
Thanks a lot Ted
It's a pity there's no "normal" color picker in Lightroom, but at least there is some :D Thanks for showing this!
Awesome tutorial! This information might seem basic but it has so much value! Thank You!!
thank you so much. that was so patiently explained, finally i got it
ciao Ted, do you have an update of this tutorial?Maybe with the latest release of Lightroom can be less difficult to color-match a movie scene?! ^_^
Sincerely grateful, greetings from argentina
Masterpiece
Brilliant! Thanks
Truly outstanding tutorial. Thank you!

Wow I actually learned something. Thanks Ted!
this was cool.
Hey Ted, is it possible to show us a tutorial about how to copy the colour grade on premiere pro?
Love your work man.
Awesome. Thank you for the tips. I like the grading in some movies and I've thought about matching some of my images to them.
You're the Man Ted!
You are THE boss.
Thanks Ted. I learned a lot.

Not sure if you will be able to help me but here goes. I am a wedding photographer in the UK, Basically i've come across another wedding photographers work online and im in love with the colours she uses on her images. Is there a way you can copy the colours from one of her images and make a preset ?
Very cool!
Loved it
