Mystery Solved! The Lightroom Color Tool

In this video we'll look at a little-known/used tool with the selective adjustments in Lightroom and Photoshop Camera Raw. Join My Community for a Free Hollywood Preset Pack - m.me/ThePhotoshopGuy?ref=w130...
It's the Color tool and we'll really dive in to how it's different than just the normal white balance settings for changing or adding color to your photos.

[@melissahall7009]

Love your videos. Spending the afternoon watching a bunch of them. Thank you!!

[@fibranijevidra]

I actually needed this option, but never clicked that color box. Thank you for this tutorial. Amazing content. You have got a new subscriber.

[@richardharrah8023]

Always appreciate Matt's down to earth, non-snobbish, teaching approach on his own web site and KelbyOne. This 13 minute tutorial opens up a whole new Lightroom creative tool. Perfect.

[@jeetsukumaran1778]

Thank you for this. You have fundamentally restructured my workflow. I learned more in 13 minutes and 28 seconds about manipulating color/warmth/coolness than in last few years. Love being able to decouple color from brightness if needed. Even the tip you mentioned in passing --- i.e., moving the gradient boundary off the frame to apply to the whole image --- was revolutionary to me!

[@dianeschuller]

I am so grateful that you share these easy-to-understand videos with us. Thank you.

[@MDMiller60]

Ok, I'm about 20% in the video and learned something brand new. Many things about photography I had learned before, but never tried it and/or forgot about it. This one is brand new. "click the graduated filter off of the image to apply it to the entire image." I met my quota. Learned something new.

[@MattKloskowski]

Thanks!

[@jwardell]

Awesome tip for another overlooked feature of Lightroom. It’s amazing that despite following everything you have taught since Lightroom 1.0 there are still little gems like this to learn

[@andrefachetti]

In a deep sea of boring tutorials, this tip was amazing. A real form to change a conception on production in LR. Congratulations ant...thank u

[@sb1493]

I learned more about adding/subtracting and manipulating the color selectively to reach the desired result from this video than any other. I can apply this to a large amount of the pictures I edit. Excellent tutorial. Keep doing more like these.

[@whitrichardsonphotography7551]

I've been wondering about the differences between these those color changing options for years. Thanks for this, really clears things up!

[@367Play]

Cool tips. Always fun to expand how tools can be used. Thanks Matt.

[@aburkett4444]

Thanks so much for this video! I really enjoy your conversational style of teaching. You get your subject across to the viewer in a clear, concise, and friendly manner. I had no clue that color could be used this way in LR - an important tool to add to my LR tool belt. Thanks again, and please keep these videos coming!

[@talexanderphoto]

This was great Matt - there are so many great tools in LR and so little time to explore and learn. Love your videos!

[@garykanston]

Thanks very much Matt - this one was a real eye opener for me. I never use that color tool because I never understood how it worked - now I do! Much appreciated!

[@sjsphotog]

Thanks Matt K. Great video. Im an experienced Lr user but have never used that color tool in all my years. Great tip and example of why it can be very powerful. Love all your videos. Keep it up.

[@petersansom1776]

Great video ! No fluff etc, just good useful advice, Gained another subscriber.

[@CoucounsPlaying]

Just got your videos in my recommended, and I have to say I am really impressed ! I suscribed before the half of the video ! You have a really clear and educational commentary, you really explain things and I actually understand them... Really different from all those "Lightroom tutorial" when they spend 30 sec on each item. I was never really satisfied with my Lightroom edits, will try that out !

[@sandeemilhouse555]

Thank you, Matt, it's nice to have a fresh way to approach my images!

[@robertpark5992]

clear and to the point. great tut. subbed

[@proach3]

So happy I have subscribed! Been a LR user for years but you still find things I didn’t use. Much gratitude.

[@Jpackardphoto]

Excellent tutorial, Matt! Invaluable tips that I will surely use often. Just picked up your sun flare overlays - awesome stuff. Keep it coming! :)

[@powerelch]

This is unique! Never used it before. Now I know why, how and when. Thanks to you Matt. Thumbs up!

[@judywright2051]

Excellent tutorial - thanks!! I've never thought of using the color swatch that way.

[@jamiewagner2396]

I've needed this tip for a while - thanks for addressing my needs!

[@valeriehoffman8180]

This was super-helpful, Matt. Thank you!

[@michaeldokken1061]

Thanks Matt. Always like finding new ways to look at my photos.

[@dannebonaparte2213]

You're such a great teacher! Thank you for this video.

[@triciawilliamson2081]

Thanks Matt. Didn't realize the distinction before. Really helpful to have learned.

[@TheBiggervern]

Thank you Matt for a very helpful insight into this lesser known function in Lightroom

[@boatman222345]

Excellent explanation of the fine finer points of color management. More and more I've come to realize just how important fine tuning in Lightroom is of huge importance to image interpretation and impact.

[@rsingh4668]

Very informative video on colour adjustment. I was looking for such a video for some time.

[@kd5oldman]

Tnx Matt. I always like learning from your vids. Easy to follow and understand.

[@MattKloskowski]

Thanks Jerry! :-)

[@colinmelhuish1254]

Great video, learned so much in 13mins 28 secs. The last tip pleased me so much , to reset the colour swatch. I have not seen that done anywhere else. "Ah, that's how its done" Thanks for posting.

[@gustavocampos1969]

It's a shame that such great channel with so many wonderful tips have just 32k subscribers while many others that merely copy content from someone else have so many subscribers more. Anyway, Thanks, Matt, for this great tip. Excellent advice.

[@BrGr385]

I agree, Matt does such a great job and he's such a great guy. he deserves much more than just 30k followers

[@MDMiller60]

4,500 subscribers, people who think they can learn something from him is pretty durn good. Imagen a seminar with 4,500 participants or a political rally...ok I won't go there.

[@SusanScharenberg]

Helpful all around, thanks Matt! You even gave us a bonus tip, new to me at least: putting the grad filter outside the image boundaries!

[@EdBareff]

Matt you are awesome. Please keep on that. Many thanks for your work and time.

[@timphillips3873]

I just want to say that you are a great teacher! Keep doing what you do!

[@adiringer1959]

Awesome video! Thanks

[@TheDashrendar22]

Very articulate and thought out, thank you.

[@charliemather3368]

Really powerful when paired with the Range Mask tool for selective color changes.

[@PaoloC.]

Already used that but useful in depth recap, well done.
