DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE LIGHTROOM PRESETS HERE: shop.signatureedits.com/genesis-sample-pack **Wondering why not just use the other tools in Lightroom instead of the tone curve?** There are actually a few reasons you'd use the tone curve instead of other settings: *REASON 1)* it allows for SELECTIVE contrast. With the contrast slider you have one set way to add contrast - Its either on or off. With the tone curve, you can add contrast in a specific portion of your image without affecting other portions - add more contrast in JUST the highlights, or JUST the midtones etc. *REASON 2)* the tone curve RGB panel lets you control the levels of blacks and whites to reduce contrast. The contrast slider only allows you to ADD contrast. *REASON 3)* the tone curve lets you set custom black points and white point, allowing you to add a filmic feel to your images and dial in the exact amount of fade you want. *REASON 4)* the red, green and blue portions of the tone curve allow you to do all of this with SPECIFIC color channels - Which means you can tweak color balance in your image, add / remove tones in specific areas (darken greens in JUST the shadows for instance) - Whereas the hsl panel luminance only lets you darken / brighten the greens as a whole. Overall the reason is for more control & targeted adjustments. There are a LOT of things you can do with the tone curve - Many of which can't be done anywhere else in Lightroom.

I went to professional photography school. I worked in this field for 10 years. I always avoided the curve, cause I didn't understand it and was able to go around without it. And in just 11 minutes, you just made it very clear and memorable. Your video should me mandatory in school.... (we had a 6 hours class on just that). I now understand how it works. Thanks a lot!

@CostaMesaPhotography

I've watched a number of these "tutorial" videos for using the tone curve in Lightroom. What none of them seems to do is explain why you would use the tone curve to adjust contrast for example rather than the contrast slider in the Basic panel. Or to remove a color cast why use a color channel in the tone curve when you can use the HSL sliders (or the temp/tint sliders). If you make another video like this, that sort of explanation would be useful. If the answer is that either approach will give you the same results, then the sliders seems to me to be a much more straight-forward method...?

Dude using that gradient image was GENIOUS! I know what the tone curves do, as a computer scientist they were never complicated for me to begin with. But it's how to use them that bugs me. I'm very comfortable with using the RGB curve but I never touch the individual ones because I have no idea how to use them without totally ruining the image. But the point finder tool in Lightroom is amazing, I didn't know of that. That's why unfortunately Lightroom is the best software out there, it's stuff like that, that competitors just don't have, unfortunately.

The RYB colours are actually CMY: Cian Magenta Yellow. Printers use these as the primary colours and the combination of the three pigments in a white surface gives black, the absence white. Two of them at a time gives us Secondary Pigment colours which not by accident happen to be: RGB. When working with light, the absence of light means black, the Pimary are RGB combination of two at a time are CMY and all the Primary Light colours give us white.

I had a little understanding of the tone curve and how it worked but like you said I just stayed away from it. You showed just how powerful it is and now i can’t wait to get out so i have some photos to practice on This tutorial was 10/10 Incredible.
