I really hope you can translate such a good video. It’s a very necessary function for a foreigner. Otherwise, it’s hard for them to understand.
Wow! Color grading is something I’ve generally avoided in the past, this has demystified a lot of it for me. Thank you!
Aaron is really . . . what’s the word? . . . . like a savant. that’s the best way to describe him. Pro grade PS lessons? Check. Handsome, engaging host? You bet your ass.
I have been waiting for so long for these tutorials. Thanks, Aaron. Please more tutorials talking about colour grading 🙂
Overall very informative, though I prefer to work with numbers in ACR instead of “eyeballing” that there is magenta in the shadows and yellow in the highlights. I completed the exercise by sampling various darks/midtones/highlights on the source and then matching the RGB values with similar color sampling locations on the destination image.
It’s like Aaron has red my mind. As always, he’s an excellent teacher, teaching not only how using the different functions, but explains what’s behind each of them, their role and how to apply them. Aaron teaches how to look at the picture, how to see the different colours and understands what we look for. Great tutorial! Really came out right on time for me! Adding to my favourites classes. Worth every penny
Great detail on the manual and more complex methods however I would have liked to have heard more info on the sliders and impacts of them in the photoshop color match auto panel. I attempted to use the second image set with the auto method and the out of the box results were poor. With tweaking, it did get better. Some more discussion here would have been helpful.
Fantastic tutorial! This is something I have been wanting to learn for a long time. This is so easy!
Great to learn new ways to color grade–and lift colors from one image to apply on another. Too bad ACR doesn’t have that feature that you show in Lightroom. I don’t use Lightroom and this is one of the few things Lightroom has that ACR doesn’t. But I can use Photoshop’s tools as you show
This is another tutorial worth adding to my ‘Repeat often’ file. These essential techniques need to be practiced. Thanks for the bright and to-the-point explanations Aaron.
