How to Master Color & Tone in Photoshop

Great tutorial, I learned alot 🙂 Here’re some takeaways I wrote down: – vibrance increases colors while not affecting much skin tones – hue/saturation, can change for example color of the car (individual color channels) – channel mixer good for black/white pictures gives more control, and more stylized images – channel mixer good for colouring photo like sky – you can do presets in channel mixer, curves – selective color is more settle – perfect for skin tone – color balance – midtones and highlights, in shadows can make shadows a bit darker and can lose some information – you can use blend if on your adjustment layers also – highlights, shadows are typically desaturated colors, midtones are typically where are more saturated colors – change unnatural skin color – hue/saturation color picker to select the target color, use hue to change the color – when changing colors of an image, if skin colors goes to cold, use curves (add red, remove blue) and on layer mask paint the subject’s skin – blend if – in order to affect the midtones move left slider far right and right slider far left – use gradient map with blend if to show on highlights/shadows or midtones only – add noise to make it blend better (also helps with banding), create new layer 50% grey, add noise, soft light 20%, guassian blur 0.3 pixels
