Thank you for watching! These photography videos are usually directed at beginner photographers. Take the photography tips and tricks with a grain of salt and try to understand the tips from a beginner photographer's point of view.

The thing you figured you were missing at 2:39 regarding lightrooms tone curve being called a RGB curves is that this 'tone curve' Affects tone and contrast on all color levels while others might not.This adds vibrance and saturation. Another instance of a 'tone curve' is a Luma curve which you are probably familiar with regarding videography, but it is also applicable to photography, sadly lightroom does not have this option. Capture one does. The main difference between the two and also the reason Luma curves are superior is that while both apply to the tone and contrast of the image, the luma curve does not apply to colors so it doesnt add extra saturation and thus does not adapt color significantly. It gives more control over your black and whites and the actual contrast and tone in the image + more control over saturation and color grading seperately. I wish there would be a software that would have the best of both worlds of Capture one and Lightroom but sadly both lack a little bit on certain fronts that the other excell at. Adobe should really add luma curves to lightroom and photoshop.

Hi Zac, thank you for sharing your tips! What a great easy-to-follow tutorial on Lightroom's Tone Curve. I always use Photoshop when I need to adjust the contrast to make my photos pop with the curve adjustment and now I know how I can properly use the tone curve in Lightroom! I am so glad I came across your video. Thank you!

[@remoreno6596]

Thank you for making this short and sweet. I’ve watched other videos on the tone curve and couldn’t wrap my head around it so never used it. I’m glad your video popped up this time around. Going to check out your channel and see what else you got.😊

Explanation starts at 2:40

[@katyoung123]

This was very helpful. Thanks so much!

[@chinovantage]

Fantastic tutorial man! Keep it up 💯

[@dulcegzmn98]

Thank you!!!

[@matthewsvlog9089]

Great, I learnt something new.

[@LucaEpifani]

Some bang bang right here ❤

[@epiclazer7833]

Thanks, that was really useful! Do you reckon the r8 is a good camera?

[@KentPhotography8]

One Of My Favorite Photographer🔥✨

[@vizbyfrvncis_]

Thanks for sharing, decided to step back into KZbin to understand some of the tools I use in LightRoom. Hope I could learn more from you and many others to sharpen my editing!

[@adreaminfocus]

that was so amazingly helpful. thank you so much. Im wondering if they call the mode (?) next to the R G and B modes rgb becuase rgb is the colour of light... like white light is made up of red green blue...dunno... Im going to find this so useful for my editing later, thank you :)

[@user-ov5ho3yv1w]

great video

[@ulyssessait]

just wondering, if you move the curve, will the slider value moves too (affected)? Im always confuse by this

[@Sxitz]

Does this apply to Darktable?

[@ameryusuf1171]

Excellent video

[@anikelvin2731]

Thank you, the teaching was great.

[@stshevy7444]

Hi Zac, GREAT video - would all you cover in this EXCELLENT video also apply to Curves in Photoshop? (*also, I always test first an image w/ Auto - b/c PShop getting more intuitive per AI adds - and while only rarely will keep 'auto' results, do like to see what the suggestions are... think that is a waste of time? 🙃)

[@citronek135]

you can use curves in Ps, but Ps is made to spent time on single photo, Lr will do the job faster for more photos

[@yisasgarcia2610]

So I’m supposed to use the tone curve like at the end of my editing ??? Is it alright if I do it at the end of my editing ?

[@user-kj3ch3ke8m]

Hi - I just happened to see your comment now, and thought you might be interested in the following link. For most of the time since I started using Lightroom Classic about a year ago, I've been using the Tone Curve as a tweak, AFTER I've finished in the Basic panel. Then I watched this, and it has changed everything! Pye is a superb teacher, and he advises going to the Tone Curve first. He also gives an excellent explanation of what you can do with it. Hope you like it (I'm in no way connected with Adorama, by the way!). Cheers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHyYZYBod5eNe68

[@sedwards7428]

where are the 4 dots on the curve?

[@strict.standards]

RGB: Reds, Greens, Blues.

[@temickab]

I am still confused about this tone curve and what you are doing

[@Walk4r]

2023* why you renaming your videos?

[@Watzac]

Renaming for search the because the principles and technical aspects are the same 🙏

[@SVFresh2Salty]

You have lost all the detail in the sky

[@NaomiEscott]

This isn't a Lightroom tutorial. It's Lightroom Classic. They are different things and it's really hard for those of us looking for Lightroom tutorials to find them when photographers keep using the wrong name and icon!

[@Watzac]

Naomi, the tone curve works the same in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC and Lightroom Mobile. It's the same tool regardless of what platform you're using.

[@DickHoskins]

Please stop wiggling the mouse. Very distracting. I formation is good.

[@Watzac]

Hahahah I've never had this feedback before and I've never noticed this 😅 Thanks for the kind words, mouse shall stay somewhat steadier from here on out 😅
