Powerful COLOR GRADING techniques in Photoshop

[@jason.coward]

Fantastic video, Todd. I am especially excited about the subtract color, average desaturation, and average brightening techniques! 🤯

[@Lilbrunchie]

Blew my mind with some of these - thanks for this! Top tier tutorial!

[@melserbophoto]

Thank you! very helpful.

[@kruuuber]

You’ll probably get a healthy view count on these blend mode videos from me revisiting to see the steps of each technique. Thank you so much for sharing and great delivery! You are a great teacher.

Awesome, thanks!

WoW, really powerful. So many ways to achieve an effect in Ps! Still got lots to learn. Thanks

Thanks!

Great stuff, love it !

[@elhp3818]

Wonderful as always…I am constantly learning from your segments. Thank you and also Happy New Year!

[@happymystic9800]

There is a plethora of different ways to get to an intended result in Photoshop. I really like how blend modes can make things a lot easier without getting getting lost too easily. Thank you for this video, Todd 😊

Okay, I have to come clean, I have never used gradient maps before but I will try them now. Great post!

Amazing! So Simple, yet so cool.

These tutorials/techniques are what we need.

Great video Todd, once again I learned a lot and have saved it to refer back to in the future. Was wondering how you are getting along with your Q2 Monochrom these days? Time for a little update video or short if you have time, would love to know how it’s going?

Happy New Year Todd. Nothing wrong with selecting what color you want in or out of your image, however, I'd like to clarify why there is green in your image. The scatter of light in the sky has all of the colors in it. Example, the belt of Venus; it's like a rainbow effect. The intensity of the green depends on weather conditions and the angle of scatter across the sky. In any event, we all make choices about what we like and what we don't, so no worries about that. Cheers.

Strange comment. He is simply showing how to remove/reduce a colour from an image,without making a point as to why the colour is in the image.

[@Lincoln018]

@ToddDominey, why do your color histograms (top right) have so many peaks? I feel like I rarely see so many, even after thousands of photos. I mean i see a few peaks occasionally, but you seem to have like 10 per color channel per image!? Something I'm missing to get that intensity selectively? Saturation and vibrance seem to translate the entire curve higher but don't create those peaks

Hey Todd, hope you'll read this. I have watched some of your videos on my Apple TV with a decent speakes / sub setup and noticed you have some VERY LOW bass rumble doing on in your videos, that should not be there. I hear this with other you tubers videos. Please add a low pass filter (cut off) to your videos. The deep frequencys sounds (subwoofer bass way below 80 hz - sound CRAZY like someone it tearing down your house LOL. If you have a friend with a surround setup, yacht this video on his system. >When you know what im talking about. Time stamp between 5:10 - 5:30 you will hear deep bass bumps, like I you live in an apartment and you upper neighbor kids are stomping the floor hard

[@goldfinch2283]

LOL 😂

I don't understand why you would pivot photos like this to Photoshop? Can't nearly all of this be done in different ways in Lightroom? Like color grading to warm just shadows over the entire photograph... Purely I ask out of curiosity because I don't enjoy using photoshop very much and I don't fully understand the advantage of using it.

[@wk278]

PS can do so much more than Lightroom. It’s also nondestructive when you’re utilizing layers. It is worth learning to use the program, although it can be a bit overwhelming at first.

[@niceoneman5150]

The entire point of the video is to show how to do these particular techniques in Photoshop. There are usually multiple ways to achieve something. Your logic is backwards.

[@foisonurlubu4303]

Too much information too fast. Don't understand anything !

[@twiedner]

You can slow down the playback speed. You can pause the video. You can jump to the chapter marks. Live is just so damn hard...

[@foisonurlubu4303]

@@twiedner it is not us to to go back and forth for hours but the autor of the video to make things clear for his audience. He usually does it like that but definitively not this time.

[@twiedner]

​@@foisonurlubu4303 I had no difficulty following his explanations and understanding the topics. I went through the "What is he doing?" phase years ago myself. Photoshop remains a complex tool. You need a basic understanding of blending modes and filters to start with, and the rest comes with practice and patience. Alternatively, you could use Lightroom. The techniques Todd mentioned are rather sophisticated, aimed at achieving precise details in photo editing. It's perfectly fine if this level of detail isn't for you - there's nothing wrong with that. Just please don't blame the author for it!
