thanks Brad ....top tip. grade the shot first then the skin by isolating the person/ face.

[@aw-de-cn]

Though I dont use color grading too much since its difficult and little bit time consuming - - But the last tip is cooool. Donot always go with the 'Standard', use it as a guideline and implement ur idea :)

[@Brad_West]

Yeah grading can be pretty time consuming but it’s a great way to dial in a look for your edits and to get your clips to match nicely in terms of color/brightness, etc. glad you enjoyed the video 😊🤙🏼

[@AfoteyAnnum]

@@Brad_West exactly. I don't know why or how anyone would get successful in this field without color grading lol

[@Brad_West]

Yeah it’s an important step but it can also be a pretty daunting task for beginners 😄

[@Mastechart]

[@sammystoll9]

When I hit color mask, mine often times doesn’t allow me to actually see the guidelines of the mask. And the dropper tool also doesn’t allow me to select any one thing in particular. Any help?

[@Brad_West]

Are you able to record your screen and send me a link so I can see what's going on?

[@TBReact]

10/10

[@Brad_West]

😊🙏🏼

[@messyfilms6325]

Would it be wise to use an adjustment layer set just for skin tone? One with the color mask already applied? Or would that typically be too general for multiple skin tones?

[@Brad_West]

I think it would differ from shot to shot. If your white balance is different or you’ve shot in different lighting conditions, one adjustment layer would typically be too general. But, you could use that as a starting point and just make adjustments to individual clips where needed 😊👍🏼

[@Wizconsin]

Not Brad West, it’s Brad the Best.
