STEAL THE COLOR-GRADING From Any MOVIE or PHOTO!

I've been using Photoshop for 20+ years and Premiere for about 8 and I learned more in the last 13 minutes than in the last three years. Well done.

[@BestPlayedLoudLtd]

Tried this and selected 10 colours to create the palette and it works much better as you're inputting more detail of specific colours to the image from the previous one

[@MertBert]

That's a really easy photo to use. It would be a bigger tip if you were to use it on a Photo containing skin tones and see what extra effort needed to be added in order to completely mimic the look (separating the skin tones is a huge deal).

[@danielerasmus2436]

Dude, a tutorial where I don’t have to skip through a long irrelevant intro, I like you already! I’m not using this for movie grades but stealing the grading from movies for fashion editorial pics. Many thanks homie!

[@cwdoby]

I'm not even working on anything like this but I found this technique to be pretty amazing and I love the creativity by people like you in the community. Keep being helpful! Thanks for the vid.

[@MyJeanf]

Dude I have never seen anyone do colour grading like this, it's an excellent way of taking grades from bug movies as you state. Thank you for an amazing tutorial

[@_MasonSummers]

I'm glad you liked it! Be sure to check out some of my other tutorials!

[@jocelynm9212]

You probably have one of the best working knowledge of photoshop I've ever seen. More importantly, you have a lovely way of teaching without over speaking. Excellent!

[@ralphgeronilla]

You don't steal Matt Damon, he steals your movie

[@pupperemeritus9189]

instead of shilling one's presets i think this is actually the way , teaching peope how to do color grading by themselves

[@homicidalnun3931]

The way people learn and develop their own styles is through others, my first video projects are similar to my favorite directors and from there as I learn more I developed my own style.

[@lahoreevinezvlogsandinfo2684]

Every art starts from mimicry.

[@ThatsCindy]

My mind has been... BLOWN!!! I AM TRYING THIS IMMEDIATELY!

[@aarondavidlewis]

This is a really great tutorial. I’ve been a colorist for years and have never lifted a color scheme in quite this way.

[@modernslice2238]

pulled from @UCMrvLMUITAImCHMOhX88PYQ so he's good at copying ;)

[@arielzavala2955]

You are the reason I dissabled Ad Blocker and suck up all of those ads... the least I can do.

[@Jenevieve.Hubbard]

This was amazing. Thank you! (Saying it's super simple on repeat helped soothe my nervous system about all the steps.)

[@VapourtrailphotographyCoUk]

This is really interesting, and you manage to pitch it at just the right level to be clear without being patronising. Good work, you've gained a subscriber :)

[@bluebull399]

Saved to my favourites for eternity. Please never delete this video.

[@DuBToXiiC]

Damn, i always asked myself how the f*ck do these people use the color tables they want as a look/lut in their videos, now i know! Great video dude... the look of my next music video i am going to shoot has to be like matrix. With this method, you‘re saving me a ton of hours searching for the right gradient

[@odellowe7340]

Kartal they color grade from scratch

[@jules3311]

LUTs are NOT the way to grade. Just learn your tools.

[@MarcParisel]

Fantastic !!!! Darkest hours is one of my favorite color graded film. It also has a lot to do with the lighting

[@_MasonSummers]

Absolutely! Filmmaking is 85%+ about the lighting!

[@MarcParisel]

Mason Summers so true it’s my challenge for 2020: make my own movie with a great lightning set up ;) cheers and thank you for he great content

[@ProlexMedia]

This is Impressive! Great job on giving such an easy explanation of this process! We think that it is insanely popular for photographers to make photographs that refer to movies, so thank you for providing us with this tutorial!

[@mirahgirl01]

That much work isn't worth it for me. Thats insane it takes that many different steps to come away with an image! Think you can just put them side by side and get it closer faster by eye then doing all that! I mean you seem to know what you're doing and are great at what you do. Just for me if it takes that much time to edit one photo thats where photography isn't fun and makes it not feel realistic unfortunately! My favorite part is taking photos and not the behind the desk with years of tutorials that are constantly changing when they keep adding more shit that just gets more confusing for someone simple like me! Thanks for the video though, well done!

[@GeorgeHolden]

Had always assumed this must be possible! Very well done man, solid thumbnail too 👌

[@_MasonSummers]

Thanks George! Glad you enjoyed it! 👊

[@DarioToledo]

Didn't know about that double-click color picker on the Curves panel, and I've always been looking for a function like that one. Thanks!

[@sheppo]

Super useful. I had no idea photoshop could export LUTs! thanks!

[@kookiespace]

I'm gonna steal this and make all my videos look like the red/blue contrasts in mad max

[@ArthurKonze]

Sorry to say, but this method is not really a good choice. Doing it the way described in the video does work on monchromatic color grades like in the Marsian (all orange) or Matrix (all green). But if you have more colors like the classical teal and orange look i.e. this does not work.

[@JoshRafG]

I also have this in mind

[@radityavisuals]

That makes sense yea

[@vanchi2351]

Wow thank you so much. I've been wonder what do they use movie color template for. Now i know how to cop these amazing color gradings for my photos

[@BambooLofi]

thank you my friend... im just in the comments to help push the video out to more ppl.

[@davidkusko3370]

Great Tutorial! Very easy to follow and you really went slow enough to create a lut along with the tutorial. Great job! Thank you very much.

[@Oluvistas]

I tried this out and it really speeds up my editing process for color grading. Thanks again

[@_MasonSummers]

Glad to hear it!

[@SynysterNick]

That was one of the best tutorials I have ever seen on KZbin! Thank you so much!!!

[@hasanAli-em2hu]

man this is one of the best color grading tutorial video on youtube!!

[@linusfotograf]

To me, the final image just looks orange and monochrome. Doesn't give me an idea of how this would work on photos with...stuff in it.

[@omnirhythm]

It wouldn't work, there's a lot more fiddling to be done as well as masking stuff in the photo as you don't want everything to appear colourized. It's a color guide at best.

[@elonlove343]

How often will you use a mars effect lol? Don't think of it that way. You can use the method he showed to replicate any color grade from any movie.

[@elonlove343]

@KolTony It actually does work because you're taking the exact colors from the image itself. Now the problem with that is you're taking away the human eye. That is why afterwards you have to tweak it. Color grade it. Play with it. Mess around with it to try to make it your own look. But copying a movies colors gives you a base to play with.

[@elonlove343]

@KolTony I get what you're saying but I'm saying this method scientifically gives you the closest thing to the exact colors used in your favorite movies. Now can you just drag and drop to every video and will it work? Ofcourse not. But if you've been using photoshop for a long time this method takes like 2 mins. And for color grading photoshop is a lot better than lightroom especially if you're color grading for video.

[@bluerabbit1236]

@@elonlove343 Dude stop arguing like an idiot. If I need all that tweaking why would I do this at all you door knob. Also nowhere in video it says you gotta be an expert in Photoshop to do this. Shut your nonsense hole.

Cant be a coincidence that it's exactly the same step by step as pix imperfect. But I'll give u the benefit of the doubt dude. U detailed it well so what if its cooied u did a banging job mate carry on.

[@joshelias8472]

This is great man. Been looking for something like this all over the place. Everyone calls their videos “tutorials” and just end up placing a paid lut and just adjusting the basics...

[@MrCozien]

Oh my god that‘s the best Tutorial i‘ve Seen since i work on Color grading , that’s incredible thank you so much for sharing this.... it’s like a Christmas gift before Christmas soooo coool

[@Toebiscuit]

Non-Pro Tip: Take a screen grab of your PSD file at the 1:50 step. Crop image to area of interest. In this case, the three swatches. This'll save you jumping thru all the .ACT steps.

Obviously you’ll want to tweak a lot more if you’re trying to match something as an insertion or something but that is great. Thanks!

I just wanna say while I see what some critics are saying in the comments and think it's fairly reasonable, I enjoyed the tutorial and thought it was very well put together. Keep up the good work dude, I would never have even dreamed of using an approach like this for something like color grading, which I usually take for granted. Nice to see how much effort can really go into a decent grade.

I would want to see this on an image or clip that actually had something in it other than dirt, seems like this is just a tutorial on how to make an orange overlay and isn’t super representative of what this would look like on skin tones or with anything with any sort of color variation. I love the thought put into it but don’t know if it would work on anything that’s not just the same color

Dude, I’m pro colorist, your way to make the LUT is soooo time consuming! There are apps there to create LUTs from photos much faster that all your tutorial. Also when you learn how a grade is done is very easy to make it in Davinci.

Excellent tutorial. I would suggest in future using a little compression on your voice as you get spikey transients that are a little painful especially as Im currently wearing headphones. "and it's been brought to my attention that the method is the same as that in a video by a channel called PiXimperfect." Yours is better as it has 100% less monobrow

Stealing colors does not equal stealing ‘grading’, which is a craft and a very custom job to whatever lighting, lenses, camera settings were relevant in the process.
