Cinematic Color Grading (MOVIE LOOK EFFECT) In Photoshop - Comprehensive Photoshop Tutorial

Photoshop tutorial showing how to apply the cinematic effect to your photographs. The cinematic effect that we're going for is the teal-orange look, which is a typical movie effect in action movies.
This effect gives the dark shades of your image a cool teal tone, while the light shades take a warm orange look. This makes the actor stand out since the colors are complementary and creates a "pop" when put side by side.
It is a good idea to do a color correction on your image, so you that it has neutral grays and no color cast.

Your channel is amazing!

[@FUNKSW]

Everything people have said it's true. You actually learn many new stuff with this video only. So thank you very much chucho. You are a great teacher and a wonderful human being for sharing this knowledge with others. There's no enough gratitude in words to express this, but anyway, thank you very much, again.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@RanathCS]

5 years later. Found a good detailed color grading tutorial. ❤

[@adideswar]

Thanks Jesus Ramirez, 2 years later and your video still awesome for beginner like me.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Adi!

[@ericcivey]

This is, BY FAR, one of the best Photoshop tutorials I've ever seen. I've used Photoshop extensively for years and learned so much from this video. You've won another subscriber, THANKS!

[@LaManoDelCaos]

This is not just a tutorial, it's a fantastic photoshop lesson. So useful for me to learn what I am doing (not just pushing bottons).

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Alejandro!

[@falxonPSN]

This was one hell of a video. Packed full of really good techniques. Keep up the good work!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you!

[@ericduan19]

"but i want you to understand how the tool works, instead of just clicking a bunch of buttons" i salute you

[@NiKu14111998]

This was the best photoshop tutorial that I ever watched. I just learned so many new things and it was very entertaining! Keep it up!!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you!

[@JorgeAmengol]

I second that!

[@melkaa_98127]

i watch a lot of tutorials on photoshop but your channel is simply the best! thanks for taking your time and uploading videos. you explain everything really well. thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome!

[@BLT-70s]

Man! This has to be one of the most impactful Photoshop tutorials I've ever viewed. I started Photoshop several years ago and never learned that much about the mechanics of Curves. You're a really great teacher as well. I was glued to the screen the entire video. Thanks so much!!!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, Bryan! Thank you for the comment!

[@HMalem]

I started watching your videos by accident while i left autoplay on, but man that was one of the best accidents i made in my life ..... i never would have thought i would learn so many techniques in photoshop. I picked up so much knowledge from watching you work and listening to what you have to say about the inner workings of things . Thank you for sharing, i can only hope to reach your level !

[@RuckusIIV]

I'm gonna tell you something right now. I've only made it to 9:40 and this tutorial is SO good that I had to stop and comment about how well this is taught for people who want to learn how to do it right and without leaving out detail. It's superbly paced and not withholding info. Okay... ::continues to watch::

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Ruckus IIV! I hope that you enjoyed the rest!

[@thehsda]

3 Years later, and I came back to watch this beautiful tutorial.

[@mikemorrell9297]

I've watched numerous video's on color grading that explain how to use one or sometimes two methods. This is the only video I've watched that explains how all the different methods are equivalent. I also really like the way the video goes from real cinematic examples to in-depth techniques. Excellent! Thanks for making this available.

[@Enceos]

Your tutorials are so professional! Not a single "Um" or "Ahm", everything to the point, all aspects covered, obvious and hidden. Your channel is the best PS channel ever!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you!!!

[@blkyndy]

I often don't leave comments on youtube, bu this one really deserves it. By far the best tutorial I've ever watch!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Andy! I appreciate that!

[@DickInMesaAZ]

Just found your channel and have watched two of your tutorials. Really the best I've seen!! Thank you!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you so much!

[@kcmthedesigner]

Very well explained and just what I needed to level-up my composites!! Thank you so much for providing this tutorial!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you1

[@wawanbalik]

The best I've watched so far on colour grading! Thank you JR.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome!

[@Shennzo]

Wow that was super useful and informative! Almost 90% of the tutorial videos on KZbin have either flaws with recording quality, silly loud music, or the narrator simply spending half an hour repeating the same thing over and over or losing track of where they were all the time. Not here thank God! You're precise, organised and to the point.. even the side subjects about colour correction and shortcuts are very good because they relate to the main tutorial subject. This is quality stuff!! Thanks man, I subbed you and plan on watching more of your tutorials :)

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, A. Shenawy!

[@jimsnow9286]

wow my head just exploded !!! thanks great video
