Okay, scrap what I was going to do today, now going to play with LAB mode! (And watch your other videos on it.) Love the clarity of explanation and the pace of delivery - never rushed, never too much unnecessary information. 👍

[@paulinefollett3099]

Great video. You certainly never stop learning about lightroom.

[@psteelman4448]

fascinating and much easier than it looked because of your great video. Thanks Colin.

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks for saying!

I am a Lab addict, and have never seen this technique. You have just earned a like and subscribed from me. Would love to see videos on how to fine tune various Lab colors using very central area of the a and b curves. Found your LAB Mode Tutorial about a year ago and it means so much more now that I have a larger knowledge base.

[@douglasmichel6361]

OMG, I forgot about LAB. I was taught to use it a few years ago until I started using Ben Wilmore's method of just using curves and the input/output numbers. As always Colin, Awesome tutorial. BTW, great strumming, sounds a lot like my brother's guitar playing. Sweet.

[@speterlewis]

I've never used LAB before....but I sure will now! This was very helpful!

[@photoshopcafe]

Glad it helped!

[@rgarlinyc]

Cool! I've only used LAB mode in passing, before. I'm going to consider it more often from now on. Thanks a lot Mr. S!

[@photoshopcafe]

Stay tuned for the next tutorial :)

[@tessellatiaartilery8197]

This was really useful, thanks for taking the time to show us how to do this. No, I've never used LAB mode like that before, so I certainly appreciated you explaining this method. About colour combinations I quite like vivid blue (like in this lady's dress) and brown together. I enjoy the videos on your channel, great work and warm enthusiasm. :)

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks :)

[@rodshelley1170]

I've not used LAB before, but I see I'm gonna have to play with it, now... More cool stuff!

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks Rod!

[@alexandrugrecov8964]

[@jimcole5359]

Well done Colin

[@photoshopcafe]

thanks

Why change to lab mode geting prolems with have to merge adjustment layers? why dont do the same in rgb?

[@susanhedenberg3898]

Regarding your question about LAB color use, I’ve used it in the past after watching Dave Margolis do a demo at Photoshop World a very long time ago and then played with it some using Kelby’s 7-Point System in CS 5 or 6. Sometimes it worked pretty well but I’ve never understood how it works. This tutorial gave me a bit more of a clue, thanks Colin.

[@photoshopcafe]

Did you also see my other one on LAB? LAB MODE TUTORIAL: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpTbkqOXibKhfdk

[@lola63962]

Finally made it from 5th or 6th time. Thank you so much :)

[@naritcom]

I did watch a tutorial a while back but didn't take the time to understand what was going on. Now I may just watch this again and give it a try as it looks a better way to change color than trying with HSL Thanks for posting this tutorial.

[@photoshopcafe]

Each method has its place, this is best for an exact color

[@naritcom]

Took a couple of views maybe 3. I'm getting OLD & these things take a while to penetrate but I jumped in & had a try. Result posted on the facebook group & I'm happy how it turned out, so once again Thank You. You have proven once again you can teach 'Old Dogs' new tricks.

[@naritcom]

I think there was 1 other thing that should be said. Instead of just merging the image and curves layer would it not be better to convert the 2 layers as a smart object, so that should you latter change your mind on the colors used it could be done without the need to start from scratch.

[@Pankaj-Verma-]

Great Video!

[@dr.jagjeetsingh2696]

I've never used LAB before, but today i tried it it's cool thanks,

[@iamnsk8811]

amazing info!

[@velladurai.s5270]

Great tut bro...... thank you

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks!

[@feilrichard]

Unfortunately, it does not work for me. Simply, PS does not let me overwrite the output point... Is it a bug or I do something wrong?

[@denisblack5689]

just awesome

[@photoshopcafe]

thanks

[@bf5250]

Dunno if you'll see after all this time, but here goes: I'm retouching artwork rather than photos, and trying to change something to yellow, but parts of it come out greenish rather than what I think they should be (warmer and closer to red or orange). Am I doing something wrong or assuming this process can do something it can't?

[@poppichannel8920]

I was using this tutorial to match colors. It was working perfectly but now every time I try to change the output color in the curve section the output box remains blank. If I click on that box to try and enter a number in it both input and output boxes disappear. I'm not sure what I did. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this?

[@serenity1520]

We have two things in common: we both like Photoshop and Guitar, I want to be as skillful as you.. Thank you, keep up the good work :)

[@photoshopcafe]

2 good things to like :)

[@sachinrokhade5260]

urs voice is sweet and soft thanks for sharing video

[@photoshopcafe]

Well thanks you :)

[@Gate-Keeper]

This would be a Blue Hippo Tang, Parrot fish have way more different colors...awesome tutorial ;)

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks! I knew there had to be a fishie out there somewhere :)

[@suruha2306]

I'm still trying to figure this out. To 'set' the blue color, you click on the yellow? LOL I know there is a reason for this, as well as a reason where you put the Curves layer. Why? I'm a little ditzy and this doesn't make sense yet. LOL My experience with LAB color mode is for similar uses. Thank you!

[@photoshopcafe]

lol, you click on the blue to get the blue code, then you click on yellow and change it to match :)

[@suruha2306]

Ohhhhh! LOL Now, THAT helps to know! I must have missed that part! Sorry! Thank you so much! I have been thinking too hard! LOL

[@dwy00]

I tried copying the tone of one face to another face. I'm positive I did everything right, but the tone of the 2nd face is too red. Not convinced this is as great a tool as portrayed.

[@UTubeSuhail]

Wouldn't it be a lot easier if you double click the mid-tone (target color set) and set the target color to your desired color?

[@zafarpkafridi5680]

First time I see how to work in LAB colors

[@photoshopcafe]

LAB is fun!

[@golden4248]

I took one week off to build a drone, now I have so many videos to catch up on

[@photoshopcafe]

Get busy ;)

[@aiharakotokorulesbluerose4170]

thanks a lot. tho i missed up a little i know the general idea. and i'm sure that next time i can do better. my mistake was simple, some small spots on the dress (my image, its random i got from google images) and the hair. really the reason why i made such mistake is wanted to "test" how it works so i intentionally didn't make it look perfect. forgot to say, the image that i wanted to sample the color of was a blue dress. from a dark brown dress to a blue dress and it almost worked. thanks again

[@mrsmrs4844]

I respectfully disagree with those who said that this is a great video. I have tried to follow it. I have tried to transpose a step by step into a Word document. There is always a step that is left out in the explanation. I wind up changing the colors of parts of the image that I do not wish to change. Colin, do you test out your videos to see that they can be followed before putting them on KZbin? I am frustrated because I really wanted to learn this technique. I am willing to send you the Word document that I have created. By the way, when the video opens, Layer 1 has a mask. I do not see where you have instructed to create any type of mask. That is what I am talking about. There is always a forgotten step. Thank you.

[@makesumwake]

sick intro

[@stevejarvis186]

Thanks Colin, but for me, a very rare Photoshop user, this is just too complicated, I`d never heard of Lab before watching this video. I watched the other video you recently put out on colour changing the car and that was much easier to understand. I dont think this gave a good or natural result either because it looks weird around her hair on her Right shoulder (as looking at the screen), Left shoulder in reality.

[@Hongs.average]

Come back and review, save a work!! :)

[@JohnDawson]

Colin, where's the axe?!
