I am curious... What is your favorite color grading method?
@bldavis113 жыл бұрын
I've primarily used the Color Grading panel in LR and ACR, but this may be the game changer! Thank you!

I primarily use Gradient Maps and your technique from a while ago
@timmahaffey48953 жыл бұрын
I start with the color buttons in palette effects 3 experimenting until I find something I like. Then the gradients in PE, if none work I will mess around with the randomize function in gradient map. These tools help me find what works for the specific image then I tweak the controls, blend modes, and masks. After a day or two I check to see if I still like the color, usually have to tweak more.

From now on, I think this will be my favorite. Another good and easy is the accent AI in Luminar, but this gives more control just as easy.
@JMSteger3 жыл бұрын
It depends on the situation. I experiment on my images using Selective Color, your Gradients or the Grading Palette contained in your Palette Effects 3 panel, and more recently, the Average Blur Filter in Photoshop to identify the average color in my image and applying that color or the inverse to the image using Blend Modes such as Linear Light or Soft Light.

Hello and thank you so much for this awesome tutorial. I have just tried this method and it really DOES work... with some very interesting results. I also took it a little further and tried 'linear light' blend mode set very low (somewhere between 15 and 25 and of course using flow rather than opacity, remembering what you said in another recent tutorial) with the HSL sliders in various combinations... and oh wow!! :)
@f64Academy3 жыл бұрын
Absolutely! Any of your contrast blend modes work great with this technique..although linear light is less v focused on the input color and more focused on its tonal effect. I prefer soft light for the way it lays the color on.

This is a lot of fun! What's interesting is that the hotter an object is, the bluer it glows. So blue in reality is much hotter than red. Counter-intuitive, but true. When you start heating iron, it first becomes red, and as you increase the temperature, it turns orange, then yellow. The sun glows white, and stars much hotter than our sun glow blue. That's why higher Kelvin temperatures are bluer. But we live in a world where even fire is considered hot, and the sky is a big blue filter, which makes snow and everything after sunset blue. So we perceive it the opposite way, blue seems cold to us, and red is hot. Also our rooms are warm and we use orange lights, so we think it's nice and cozy, and the blue, dark night is cold. But it's really a trick that nature plays on us due to the biggest blue filter on the planet. Because in space, anything hotter than our sun is bluer, and anything colder is more red.

Hey Blake! I use HSL a lot. But never did the way you show in this video with the colorize and soft light. And it seems to be an interesting approach! What I do is to use the 'hand' to pick a specific color and play around with the sliders and all blending modes to see which one is the best. I'll certainly try your recipe. Seems to be easier indeed. Best wishes to you :)

adding 180 (as in degrees) doesn't work exactly for hue which is 0 to 255 (not 0 to 360), you could add 128 instead of 180, but I know what you were trying to say... Thanks, this is a good technique.

Hey Blake, is this method same as using a Solid Color layer in soft light blending mode?
@f64Academy3 жыл бұрын
Yes, but more control with sliders. Think of it like this, it gives you more finite control instead of opening a large color picker and feeling clueless 😁 that happens to me all the time! It basically takes all the color picker radio dials and puts them into sliders that are a little faster to manipulate.
