Have been waiting for this tut for YEARS!!! I did it once, then could NOT remember how I got there. You are an essential tool to my profession - thank you, as always!!

[@tutvid]

Thank you so much, Andrea S!

[@PlanetXtreme]

I have to say.. thank you a bunch. About a year ago I saw this tutorial when I was first learning the very basics of photoshop and decided it was way too difficult for me to attempt; now, I remembered this tutorial when I actually needed it, and it worked like an absolute charm. I really appreciate your help, it has been monumental!

[@sajjadabouei6721]

one of the best tutorial on this topic. what I really like about this, is that you don't need to really struggle with different settings and adjustment, it is a straight forward 3 steps. thank you Nathaniel

[@DBLCreations]

Man, i love your tutorials, been following you way back, it's because of you that i finally got to built a proper website, i got into photoshop, because of you! Really man, it's incredible what you have done for me. You still talk so fast, but i guess it's because you know your tools and it's just natural to you :-) Thank you for your tutvids ;-)

[@Moh_Sa]

I loved how you insinuated your concept so they aren't just steps you clone in every project, they are your work theory that you fit to every project based on what you know! This is my best way of getting new stuff inside my head Thanks for that lesson man 🙏

i've been using photoshop for 4 years and i literally did everything by the eye, i just tried out this technique and i get so much more accurate results, instead of curves i prefer using color balance
