In this video I give you some practical advice for being more intentional about the colours in your images, and how to limit your colour space in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop using the Hue, Saturation and Luminance tool (or HSL sliders). I also give you examples of complementary and analogous colour schemes from the world of cinema, and talk about what we mean when we say we are trying to achieve a 'cinematic look' to our photography.

You had me at “I will never sell a preset on this channel. I would rather take the time to teach you how to create your own presets.” 😎

[@vaibhavjain4317]

So true

[@digcabrera2107]

legit that's what finally made me sub

[@thedachmo]

This is a game changer. The colour wheel was a stroke of genius to explain how it all works! Thank you Sean. I love your approach.

[@ramizkasim1]

"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." This statement is so true for this video! 👍

[@apocalypse487]

For many things actually.

[@sunilchitolie6771]

Apocalypse487 for everything really haha.

[@BLEEJazz]

It applies to everyday life. I use this statement all the time at the work place =)

[@thoughtcriminal7198]

Maybe you just lack intellectual skills.

[@panagiotiskaranatsis3593]

Those generalized phrases are practically always wrong.

[@rogerwyatt3246]

Sean, when you turned your color correction settings off then back on I saw the deep level of design you bring to the details of your presentations. Only a superior teacher would come up with that rapid and incredibly effective technique to make your point. Then you explained the kind of impact you wanted the color design and lighting to convey to the viewer. I instantly saw it and felt it. While we viewers concentrate on the important lessons and techniques that you bring forth month after month it’s easy to lose sight of what a good teacher you are. Congratulations on another excellent presentation. As I have often commented Sean, be safe, be well, and continue to do good stuff. Given the world we’re currently living through that world needs you more than ever.

[@seantuck]

Thanks so much Roger. That’s very kind.

[@dennislodes7407]

@@seantuck What panel are you working in? My edits panel looks nothing like that. I really enjoy your posts, keep it up.

[@250157andyw]

Roger - well said. Thanks Sean, excellent.

[@backfilms1953]

agreed. sean presented this well and i cannot look away at other gear tech videos.. i had to finish this. only sean does this

[@i18nGuy]

I have seen several color wheel/HSL presentations, but this is the most enlightening because you demonstrated the application with precision, rather than the generic washing of color that most others do. The point about split toning was the clincher. Thanks Sean. You are one of the most insightful photography presenters around.

[@sethobates]

This is why KZbin is such a blessing this day and age. Because of content creators like you mate. Thanks

[@orshanti]

totally true!

[@zahoryzont4716]

"Oh just a selfie I took" - yeah, I can't get a photo like that with hours of prep. I can see how far I've come in the last couple of years, but there is still such a long way ahead.

[@dawgyv72]

Not really relevant to the video, but I dont mind a million ad-reads and Im so thankful that you don't spam youtube-ads throughout your videos.

[@saravanaraja5283]

I've always felt Sean is one of the greatest and underrated modern day photographer. This video here proves why he is one of the best teacher too. Thank you Sean, your selflessness overwhelms amateurs and enthusiasts like me.

[@seantuck]

Thanks my friend. That’s very kind.

[@saravanaraja5283]

More power to you @@seantuck , Thanks again. Getting a reply from you made my day :)

[@vaibhavjain4317]

This is so cinematic.

[@xxxyyyxxx9]

You’re a remarkable communicator. I enjoy just listening to you speak. And of course the knowledge you share is of great value.

[@Jo_Actual]

li agree. id rather learn how to do rather then buying from someone or just "copying" a pre-set. creating your own vibe and style i think is really important.

[@ConsoleAuthority]

My god , how lucky I am to listen to this guy . Usually this type of insights is behind a paid walled garden.

[@seleemzid7881]

After 3 years of being Interested in photography and videography I never had such a valuable information of coloring until I watched this video thank you so much

[@StevenLawson]

This was one of the most helpful tutorials I’ve seen, particularly the tip about whacking up the saturation to see more clearly the full range of colours in an image, then dialling it back to a more subtle level. Like you, I prefer a light touch to over-saturation, but this has inspired me to take more control of the colour palette in my shots, so thanks Sean.

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

I know it is called 'cinematic', but the colour cohesion was firstly an invention by painters. Painters would limit their palette to visually unify the picture, and to create a certain mood. We use 'overlays' today, because we take picture from nature to work on them, but they used 'undertones' to create cohesive pictures from scratch, and along the way applied different 'glazing' techniques.

[@andrelousada]

This was a good one Sean!!!!!

[@ErrolHeywood]

As someone with deficient colour vision (Red/Green) I found this video to be particularly helpful and I have never seen it explained in such a way in any other video. Colour is definitely something I will experiment with more.
