This Lightroom Color Tool Just Blows Me Away!

[@AllenBrenneman]

It's one of the best editing videos I have watched. I liked the pace and the details shown in this video very much.

[@JimNix]

thank you so much Allen!

[@SandyHansenPhotography]

I like the pace! Another great editing video! Thank You! I would really appreciate a video on color grading! Thank

[@JimNix]

thanks much and yes I have some things around color grading that I will be working on - I appreciate it

[@jimlapiana5293]

Outstanding!! this is a documentary on professional editing...you are the best!!!

[@JimNix]

oh thank you, that is so kind of you to say, I appreciate it!

[@TC_Conner]

As usual, another gorgeous edit Jim! Lr is just a little different in the calibration panel, it has no shadow slider.

[@JimNix]

thanks much TC!

[@Dunadan1111]

Big fan. This one has me stumped. It’s great you have indicated how to use the tools! It makes you wonder what everyone’s eyes actually see. To my visual perception, the beautiful oceanic sky has been mangled into the ugly glow of a Metropolitan artificial light.

[@JimNix]

haha, totally fair and yes, it's a bit colorful (though I like it) - this vid was mostly about what you can do with the tools, but of course each photo varies as do our tastes etc - thanks for watching!

[@barryj1956]

That's what happens when you take a non sunset image and try to turn it into a sunset. A pixel editor might make a better job of it but at the end of the day it's a fabricated image. Digital art rather than a photograph.

[@JimNix]

@@barryj1956 it's definitely a creation and more art vs photo at this point, which is fun to do sometimes

[@Hannemanneke]

Thanks a lot Jim! Yesss… a video about the luminance range mask and how you use it in cityscapes would be great 👍

[@JimNix]

ok great thank you!

[@RonaldBrown59]

That new color tool is awesome. Thanks for the tutorial on how to use it. Great video Jim.

[@JimNix]

thanks so much Ron!

[@JamesLashomb]

Elegance from simplicity. I've hybridized LRC, On1 and Nik in my workflow. Your videos on LRC and On1 have been helpful. Very clear presentations What you showed today helped steer my to getting more out of my colors! Calibration is new to me

[@JimNix]

thanks for watching James!

[@chuckbentley7617]

Thank you, Jim for a great tutorial!

[@JimNix]

thank you Chuck!

[@rayasiala9375]

Excellent video I cannot wait to try this on my own landscapes!

[@JimNix]

thanks and have fun!

[@jonstadman6051]

This one is very good, inspirational and yes I would like to see one about city scapes Thanks a lot Jim

[@JimNix]

thank you so much!

[@marciacolucci7670]

Thanks Jim… excellent

[@JimNix]

thank you!

[@kenalexander8714]

Thanks for this Colour Tool video Jim. Nice to get some Light Room tips.

[@JimNix]

thanks for watching Ken!

[@DaveBerthiaume]

Great to see you back on Lightroom again. Not a fan of Neo's pricing/extensions structure, so I don't watch those videos. I also use Calibration all the time, but I'd be lying if I said I knew what was really going on under the hood. I would love a detailed explanation of what Calibration is actually doing.

[@JimNix]

thanks Dave and it is a great tool - as I understand it, it's impacting the RGB values in every pixel vs something like HSL which just hits the color you select - so when you increase the Blue saturation in calibration, it increases the saturation of the blues in each pixel, etc - it has quite an impact and I will do more videos with it for sure!

[@tpiorkowski]

Nice video Jim, thanks for sharing your tips and techniques,

[@JimNix]

thank you Tom!

[@GusMcCrae01]

Really nice work on this Jim.

[@JimNix]

thank you so much!

[@tonycook1532]

Really clear Jim, thank you

[@JimNix]

thanks for watching Tony!

[@michaelgerson9827]

Excellent video! A lot of learning in a short period of time-I hope you do more Lightroom Classic videos.

[@JimNix]

thanks so much and yes I have more planned for sure!

[@philpetrie]

Brilliant Jim and a Happy New Year from Scotland

[@JimNix]

thanks so much Phil, Happy New Year to you from Texas (though I wish I was in Scotland!!)

[@Scotphotoamateur]

Thanks for elegant demonstration of calibration panel which i just discovered recently. Would love to see you use it in urban

[@JimNix]

thanks much and yes I will do a video about that

[@halsussman6300]

Great edit Jim! I learned a lot.

[@JimNix]

thanks a lot Hal and I hope you are well!

[@hurleygreen927]

GREAT VIDEO! Thanks for sharing this with us...

[@JimNix]

thank you so much!

[@robertavery8002]

Many thanks Jim for a very helpful video.

[@JimNix]

thank you Robert!

[@shannonpage6741]

I learned a heap from this, thanks so much Jim! Please do make the city vid you mentioned-the more skills & use cases, the better! And the edit was fabulous!

[@JimNix]

thank you so much Shannon!

[@shannonpage6741]

@ Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. 🙂

[@JimNix]

@@shannonpage6741 you're welcome, I'll work on more LR vids soon

[@shannonpage6741]

@ Look forward to them. 👍🏼

[@JimNix]

@@shannonpage6741 thank you

[@ThePNWRiderWA]

I find luminosity masks by adjusting the light adds depth. It's huge for landscapes

[@JimNix]

absolutely agree, and thanks for watching!

[@simonreeve6773]

Brilliant thanks Jim

[@JimNix]

thank you Simon!

[@davidchandler4788]

Helpful Video Jim. Thanks!

[@JimNix]

thanks so much Dave!

[@tinacatswhiskers]

Glad you are back into Lightroom Jim. I asked for some tutorials a while ago now but you weren’t doing LR then. I have Lightroom (cloud/mobile) and edit on my iPad. I have not got a clue what a luminosity mask is or indeed when or how I would use one so more information and videos would be great 👍 😊

[@JimNix]

ok thanks Tina and yes I will do more on luminosity masks as they are incredibly useful and powerful

[@hughmannwright]

Very nice tutorial!

[@JimNix]

thanks so much!

[@asnimages6803]

Excellent Jim…Thanks.

[@JimNix]

thanks for watching!

[@wmbrennan]

Hi Jim, Just discovered your channel, very well done and easy to follow. Question for you, I am going to Alaska to try and photograph the Northern Lights at the end of this month. I have a Canon 6D Mark ll with. 24-70 mm 2.8 attached, should I shoot raw in both cards or one jpeg and one raw? Your thoughts please, this is probably a one time trip so I want to make the most of it, hopefully I’ll see some lights if not I am sure there are other things to photograph.

[@JimNix]

Hi there and thanks. I've never shot RAW+JPG as I am not sure what I would do with the JPG, other than maybe a quick social share or send to family while on the trip. So I guess that depends on what you plan to do. I only ever shoot RAW and nothing else. If you don't need the JPGs then RAW in both cards is a good move for redundancy purposes.

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

thank you for the effort and sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber (way back to your initial Luminar vids!). your YT vids are always very helpful. i hope you can also put together LR editing tutorials rather than just LR Classic oriented vids. again, thank you. BIG thumbs up.

[@JimNix]

thanks so much and I never use Lightroom, just Classic - is it that different?

[@pauldouglas864]

I’ve been using lr classic for about 10 years now. Never tried luminosity masks. Gotta get home and try this out. Great tutorial!

[@JimNix]

thank you so much Paul, and luminosity masks are fantastic - I will do more vids about them

[@veselinvasilev9362]

Thank you!

[@JimNix]

thanks for watching!

[@Lysander-Spooner]

Great tutorial. Calibration is great. Jim, in your day to day work do you use LR more than Luminar?

[@JimNix]

Thanks so much Lysander, and no, not really. I use Luminar for the majority of my edits still, but manage my catalog in LR so I use it a lot too. It's a great product. I just like to work with multiple tools to keep my skills up and push myself to learn new things. Thanks for watching!

[@Mr09260]

Can I use these controls in Photoshop too >> I dont use Light Room even though I pay for it everymonth

[@JimNix]

I don't think it's in PS (can't remember, and don't use PS every day) but it is in camera raw

[@jonasweiss5817]

You make what was real into something contrived.

[@JimNix]

Oh for sure I went pretty far here, but it's just an example of what you can do with the tools if you want to get a bit creative

[@odinata]

Hi Jim, I really love your work. I'm going to subscribe. Can you tell me if this comment got through?

[@JimNix]

thanks and yes I see this comment
