MIND BLOWING photo editing with LAB in PHOTOSHOP | Photoshop on steroids!

[@michellemccartney6124]

Excellent. We used to use the LAB color mode in college back in the days before PS had layers! I never understood why we did that after scanning on a drum scanner. Now I see what LAB has to offer. Will be going back to this right away. Thank you so much!

[@dglatz01]

Excellent. As usual. Colin I've learned a ton from you! The LR2 course was my first PSC video.

[@photoshopcafe]

Yay! Thanks

[@Ronin760]

I like how you used the color range to limit the contrast to the rocks and then to the trees. Very helpful. Thanks!

[@bes4802]

Really mind blowing technique!!! I just tried this n i'm loving it. You made my work so much easier. Thank you very much.

[@uncleskull3270]

I've used LAB before for color adjustment, but this kicks it up about 6 more notches! Thank you!

[@jordanhilliardcooper2771]

This is fantastic. Thank you. It will help immensely with a photo I'm working on. Excellent video.

[@tonybourke9576]

Hi Colin, That's great. I always knew about LAB but I'd forgotten just how useful it is. It would be really good if you could do a series on the other advantages of using LAB?

[@gurjotesansoa2588]

Brilliant video, thanks for sharing this. I seriously need to start watching more of your videos!

[@photoshopcafe]

yes! you do ;) lol

[@stephengreg243]

Brilliant! Just back from Zion NP looking forward to trying this.

[@triciawilliamson2081]

This is super useful Colin. Thanks so much.

[@rodolfojr3004]

Amazing technique!! Thanks.

[@kedishi]

Great tutorial. I Noticed the LAB colour mode years ago, but I didn't know what it did or what it was used for. I'll be playing around with this for a while.Awesome 😃

[@rodshelley1170]

WOW! OK, I'm gonna be up past midnight playing with this..... Thanks for that, Colin! 😁 seriously awesome stuff! The like button is now dust...

[@photoshopcafe]

Glad you like it!

[@ralphpayne6259]

Really, really useful especially for landscapes!👍

[@ericgillett7020]

Great video, Colin. I was curious how you did the split view mask creation at the end of the video. Is this an automatic process, or something you did manually? This step wasn't included in the video that I could tell, which was fine, since the point of the video was to compare the two layers. Thanks!

[@HeldUnderDesign]

Woah this was great! Such a simple technique but the results are amazing! Great video :)

[@photoshopcafe]

Steve Reilly thanks

[@EdwardVinas]

Looks like a great technique....trying this right away. Great vid as always.

[@larrytravis59]

LAB is a great tool and this video sure demonstrates it's power. I saw it used fro noise reduction some time ago. Do you have a workflow for that? Thank you for photoshopCafe

[@photoshopcafe]

Larry Travis I used to do a video on NR with LAB, it's in my books and premium videos somewhere. NR in ACR is really good now

[@davidmartin3255]

Nice Thank you. How did you do the "split" at the end?

[@martinbanks]

Perfect, just what I was looking for. Please create more videos on LAB mode in Photoshop

[@tdilley7059]

Super awesome. Can't wait to try this.

[@photoshopcafe]

drop everything and do it!

[@jim7953]

Great video, is that software in every photoshop versions

[@photoshopcafe]

Yes, it has been for many years! (not in Elements though, I don't think)

[@livefortodaytv4044]

Nice i love your content keep it up!!!

[@photoshopcafe]

[@yogaFLIGHT]

Am I correct in thinking that this is only with camera raw files?

[@eslteacher7808]

Ok, yep it is mind blowing!Thanks!

[@jerrysim3254]

I wonder whats is Your advice about how kind of pictures or which pictures can be affected by this method ? Landscapes ? Portraits ?

[@photoshopcafe]

Jurek Siminski mainly landscape and industrial work best with this

[@frazhassan]

Subscribed and liked. I am on this journey with you. Awesome.

[@photoshopcafe]

thanks! Welcome aboard :)

[@ericgillett7020]

Great video, as usual! Can you explain the split mask view toward the end? Was this an automatic PS function or did you make this manually? The video skipped over how this was done, which was fine, since the point was to just compare the layers. Thank you!

[@OlgasWonderWorld]

nice and a life saving mode for the photos of nature

[@maxibuono]

Thanks!!! It is very useful to me.

[@wilmerkrusen7501]

Great info!

[@eyedownload]

Wow! Such a clear presentation of a powerful tool! Thank you!

[@TomCaptures]

[@jacotla1]

[@tinagiles2368]

[@erfut]

Great man, thank you

[@jacobthomson9369]

Great stuff,

[@MrEe1010]

How did you create the before / after slider?

[@BikeVisionScotland]

Never new it existed, I'll use it from now on though... Cheers!

[@photoshopcafe]

I have lots more cool stuff coming!

[@DaleSteadman]

Great tutorial, is that Garden of the Gods?

[@photoshopcafe]

yes, it is!

Great video. I am subscriber now ;) But have few Q. ACR and LR working natively in LAB color space. There is HSL tab. And what is difference between using HSL in LR (ACR)? I know, in PS I can set blending opacity and can I can focuse my changes for more colors (color ranges). But are there any other differences? Thank you.

[@photoshopcafe]

HSL is Hue/Saturation/Lightness, its still in RGB mode. Lab is a different color space altogether like CMYK. LAB separates color from luminance (like a black and white photo) thanks for subscribing!

[@ritaophelia]

Great

[@ricardourroz9322]

Dan Margulis?

[@SwingWestBand]

It was excellent, but I must be slow - I have watched this five times with Photoshop open. I have to stop the vid every couple of seconds to apply your actions to my photo, then return to the vid for further instructions. I might just have to watch it another few times before get similar results to your demo. I find your actions sometimes to be very quick - I often have to play each portion several times just to see what you have done (clicked on). I will keep trying. Cheers.

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks for the feedback, Ill work on slowing it down a little or making it clearer to follow. I usually do my youtube videos at a faster pace than my premium training courses because I get too much negative feedback if I go too slow on youtube.

[@martintroy]

Fantastic Tutorial. Thank you!

[@photoshopcafe]

thanks

[@MaMaRobynBird]

Awesome! Thanks!!
