Using the Hidden Color Grading Presets in Photoshop

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

*How to COLOR GRADE Images in Photoshop with Gradient Maps:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3qtpaJvpJ2arJY *INSTANT High Contrast Black and White Photos with Gradient Maps:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/roq9Xq2Xi7GAhJY Hi everyone, Steve here. In a previous video, I showed you how to color grade images with Gradient Maps, and I covered everything you need to know to create your own custom color effects (kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3qtpaJvpJ2arJY). But Photoshop also includes hidden color grading presets known as the Photographic Toning presets. And in this video, I show you how to use them. You'll learn where to find these hidden presets in the latest versions of Photoshop, how to apply them to your image using a Gradient Map, and how to combine the presets with Photoshop's Blend Modes for the best results. Please leave any questions or comments below. And as always, thank you so much for watching!

Hi Steve!.. thank you for your amazing work. The way that you explain everything is perfect and more for people who do not speak a very good english. Could you make a video of how to make the colors pop in the photos?.. or how to retouch fine art? Thanks... and regards from Costa Rica

Thank you som,ich for your tutorials. I honestly think they are among the absolute best tutorials on PS on KZbin. Your teaching style is second to none. Thanks! 🙏

Many people when I listen to their videos bore me to sleep. You have a great easy to listen to voice. Plus you take your time and don't sound like you are auctioning cows. Last but not least your videos are easy to follow. Thank you.

[@bipolarbeardgaming]

I am obsessed with Photoshop at the minute and I love your videos. Others I have tried to watch are just too quick for me. I struggle to take things in straight away due to my illness. Your videos are superb. If there’s 3 steps then you repeat it 3 times and for me that’s priceless. I was wondering if it would be okay to ask for a video? If so I was wondering if you could build a new image using selected items or people from other images? So for instance 3 sports icons in the same place or a cow in a random place just so I could get to grips with that part of things. I’m working towards creating my own things but I’m at the very early stages. I like to call myself a pre-beginner. If not it’s cool, I love your videos and thank you for making them

[@Natural50lady]

Hi Steve, I've been watching your video and really love your teaching style. I was wondering if you've done any videos on how to create a cartoon or characteracter from a phone? Or is this something you could make a video on? Including adding cartoon words and art that can be changed to cartoon in the photo?

Hey Steve! Great tutorial. A question please: if I go to legacy swatches, I don't get no "photographic toning" group. And the other groups also don't show up when I click the dropdown in the properties panel. Any idea what's going on? I'm using Photoshop 24.0.1. on a mac. Thank you!

@@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel It truly was helpful. It's a very nice tool to add a subtle effect to one's portraits. You explain everything with such clarity and economy of words. You must know PS quite well. Is it difficult to create one's own color gradient? For example a gradient, that would add teal to shadow areas and a kind of milky-yellowish tone in the highlight areas.

[@PhotoshopEssentialsChannel]

​@@Daniel_Ilyich I have a separate, longer video called Color Grading Images with Gradient Maps that goes into detail on how to create and apply your own custom gradients: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3qtpaJvpJ2arJY
