What's your favourite tool in Lightroom? OR What's a tool you wish you knew more about?

Probably the best instruction of “how” color grading actually works versus just pushing sliders around. Excellent tutorial and delivery.

This is what a tutorial should be! The back to the basics, as easy as possible to explain, makes it simple to follow and even easier to try and execute on your own. Thank you for this!

No matter how many of these videos I watch. I still suck lol.

Anthony - I'm a beginner with Lightroom, and have discovered that while there are lots of useful KZfaq channels, most assume a certain amount of prior knowledge, and that creates a real barrier for someone new to the field. This is hands-down the best video I've seen in terms of explaining the basics. I wasn't really sure how colour grading differed from the RSL adjustments until I saw your explanation here. You strike the perfect balance (not easy to do I think!) - beautifully clear, really well expressed. Thanks so much!

Hands down the best tutorial on colour grading on KZfaq. So well explained and demonstrated.

KZfaq needs to add a double/triple like option. I gave you one like the first time I watched this video. Now I played it again, because I am now doing some color grading and needed a refresh... but there is no double like option. 😆

the learning method you've used with the gradient is just brilliant

OMG, thank you for explaining this so that my brain FINALLY understands what is ACTUALLY happening. Wow!

Oh my! When someone has a full understanding of a topic is one thing. But when they can really, I mean REALLY pass/explain this knowledge onto another person, that's something. My add brain struggles to connct things, to sometimes understand one word that just won't click in right away and there we gooo I'm missing a whole point. But what you did here? Using multiple different words for the same thing, break down the total basics. I will be forever grateful. And whenever my brain forgets what we learned here, I'm just gonna come back and have a bath in your awesome clear words again. Thank you!

I've watched countless Colour Grading video and understood non of it this single video, ONE VIDEO, changed my entire perspective thank you so much

Literally the best explanation on how color grading actually works on Lightroom!

literally one of the best tutorials i watched on color grading with lightroom.

Great tutorial! Thank you for that! A video on the tone curves would be cool! What I find really hard in Lightroom is how all the different tools work together. I mean, there are so many ways to achieve what you want. For example, making the whites darker: you could use the basic panel, the tone curve and even the grading tools. If you could explain this, I think this might be a very helpful tutorial for a lot of us :)

Fantastic!! Thank you! Finally a definitive breakdown of how color grading works. I used this for my mobile LR application and translates just the same. 🙏🙏

This is the best color grading video I have seen on KZfaq 🔥

I really think you will change my life, you explain so well that it seems natural !! Thank u so much !

Well, a newbie here on photo editing and this by far one of the best tutorial I have seen. Super simple breakdown, the visual feedback while you are doing it and how it changes, love it! Thank you!

Til this day, this is the absolute best explanation of what color grading is and how it works. Patiently waiting for more tutorial videos.

honestly thank you so so much, you don't understand how much i learnt and i feel so much more confident. i have done 2 years at uni and i learnt more in 12 mins than in the 2 whole years. 🙏

This video is awesome bro! WoW . Keep going ❤️❤️❤️

This is the most helpful color grading lesson I’ve found after trying to learn it for years

I earlier thought that I already know everything in lightroom atleast, by oh my god. I didn't even knew anything more than 1-2 things out of all the things taught in this video. Continue this series sir.. Gawd

Thanks Bro Much Appreciated 💖

Awesome tutorial, thank you. This was a great help. 👍

You totally changed my mind, I finally understood it, now I can do things in a more intentional way, before I was just guided by a taste, I would like to learn more about color, I use the same equipment you work with, I dedicated myself to photography reportage on events, weddings, portraits and products

Thanks for an elaborated explanation of colour grading in just over 10min. Good stuff.

This is literally the most helpful color grading tutorial on the internet and MAN i have watched SO SO many

Beautiful explanation on color grading. Also very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I’m not really good at color grading whatsoever, so this video kinda helps me out a tad. Thank you 🙏🏿

What an amazing tutorial 👏🏼 thank you man!

great explanation! just what i needed 😇 thank you very much!!

Excelent tutorial, Anthony! Great content!

Anthony, you're an incredible teacher. This has helped me so much; thank you!

I literally just came from another video saying that the blending and balance do pretty much the same thing, just more intense. This was way more informative and illustrative.

The Best Color Grading Tutorial on this app

Something that I definitely want to learn , I really like trying to make my photos look cinematic !

Very solid information and a great break down, also Seal team is awesome

I appreciate you actually explaining the technicalities of how color grading works before you started editing photos. I've been looking for that. Thank you.

This is pretty cool and simple to follow, loved how you went into details.

Colour grading has always been a bit of a mystery to me. After watching, I feel a better understanding and purpose of this tool. Appreciate it! Love the shorts, that’s how I first discovered your channel. Keep being you 🔥

these videos are great, would love to see a true Lightroom classic for dummies kind of thing because I don't really know what I'm doing. and I've learned a lot from you

I have never understood this new color grading function, I hope to learn how to use it through your tutorial, thank you very much.

So helpful! Thank you for this great tutorial!!

Yes. This is the video I didn't deserve but needed. Very well explained! Thanks

Best Tutorial on it ever done! No fancy graphics. Just pure Mentorship.

Amazing! Every minute was packed with something new to learn. Excellent.

Man, you're a genius on teaching!

I love these in depth explainers and tutorials. Thank you! Don't stop creating...

The rare moments when he talked about what a setting makes him feel, eg atmosphere of a desert, was insightful to me. Because that is what photography is for me, not features of Lightroom, but that it makes you feel something

Brilliant tutorial. I always wondered how it actually worked and this explains it really well

Man, that video gave me a New perspective to edit, i learned a new way to think about balance in my photos, thanks a lot

Hands down one of the best tutorials I've seen thanks for this

Dude you explained the color concepts so well it's ingrained in my intuition.

The best explanation of what color grading is I've ever seen. Great video.

Great tutorial! Would love to see one on the curves tool!

Just love the way you break down points and simplify it, so that everyone understands it. Thank you so much. Huge shoutout from Sri Lanka

There is a physiological reason the green tint with contrasting orange focal points so common in modern cinematography. The rod cells which cover most of the of the retina of the human eye are only sensitive to a narrow band of colors in that green part of the spectrum and are 3000x more sensitive than the RGB sensing cone cells which are concentrated around the optic nerve and fovea which is actually a blind spot in the center of our vision. The high sensitivity of the rods gives us the ability to detect movement (threats) in the edges of our vision, especially at night. That happens then is the brain sends the eyes to focus on that spot with the higher resolution but lower gain RGB cone cells and then it “tunes out” signals being sent by the rods creating “tunnel vision”. So when a cinematographer lights the overall scene with a green tint it will cause the brain to focus instead on the contrasting orange tint content. Other forms of color contrast between background and focal points have the same eye leading effect. It isn’t the lighting that leads the eye in is the holistic contrast gradients created with a combination background content, clothing, faces and lighting on them. That is why in movies so much planning and storyboarding goes into color coordination of everything in the scene so what is important to see contrasts. Outside of studio photography difficult to do in stills but the question to ask when composing and lighting a scene is ‘what is most important and how can I make it contrast holistically?’ For example if the subject is wearing a distracting white or red dress putting them in front of a white or red background wearing a white or red hat is a strategy for making their face contrast even before thinking about how to light it. The better you get at doing that when taking photos the less post-processing adjustment you will need to make 😊

Thank you for this tutorial, not everyone can make certain subjects of photography easy to understand. As a beginner this came in very handy.

Thank you love this break down explaining how it works! much better than others just explaining how they got the result

I know I'm going to come back to this video again and again, thank you

I love these in depth explainers and tutorials. Thank you!

This is, by far, the best tutorial I've ever watched! You are amazing! Going into such detail, yet it is so dynamic, clear, concise and very charming! THANK YOU!!!

I'm glad for having finding this master class here. Thank you so much bro

I Absolutely love this series focused on the sigle tool,

This was so good!!! Like, you don't understand how much you really just helped me. Thank you so much! Great tutorial style

This is the best instructional video on color grading I've found (and I've watched a lot). Masterful delivery, and ingenious method of using a monochrome gradient to show what everything means. THANK YOU!

great video! helped me to finally understand the color grading wheels in lightroom.

I mostly graded using the wheels but just by changing to sliders on each individual wheel, it totally changed how it "feels" and my photos are so much better. Cheers for this!

best video on internet for color grading! congrats :)

I've never known anything about photo editing but daaaaammmnnn that was a lesson! thanks a lot

Thank you so much for this! I always comes back to this to freshen up my understanding of color grading 🎉

I've definitely been struggling with color grading and was completely lost, but in just 11 minutes and 52 seconds I understood the whole story. Thanks Anthony!!! Your videos are helpful as always

Very useful and well explained, thanks!

finally, someone has explained it properly

A big thank you, Anthony. You have described the Color Grading panel so that it makes sense to me, and I can see how and when I might want to use it.

At last! searching and searching and at last someone has explained the color wheels SO WELL! A must see to understand color wheels. The global wheel will be so important for my future editing. Well done Anthony!

Thanks its helpful for me to understand the basic of color grading in my first day using adobe lightroom

A colour grading tutorial that actually makes sense! A rare thing indeed! Well done that man! 👍

Great tutorial, I think going through the 'detail' function on lightroom would be super useful please Thanks

This was an excellent deep dive into color grading! Super helpful!

I saw a lot Lightroom Color Grading Videos, but this was by far the best. Subscribed and hoping for more like this.

Thanks for this....been using LR for a long time and didn't notice this feature....now flying a drone I am a little more aware of the importance of colour grading.

First time I see a full color grading video

The still photography community is lacking behind on color grading because of the long lasting dispute of "organic", while cinematography world embraced this from the very beginning when technology was just available, the cinema/TV world is just more practical, without the burden of "art", because most of them are commercial visual products, all it matters is it "looks good" and "sales good". So after a long time the tools are becoming quite different also. I found that Davinci Resolve is much much better and I actually learn all this on video... The standard workflow of "color correction" -> "artistic color grading" in the cinematic world is very refreshing. In Lightroom everything is mixed up, you see a lot of videos mixing up exposure correction, color balance, and artistic grade all together, I think it's partly because of the Lightroom lacks of the node structure, it's just how it supposed to be done. I actually tried to grade stills in Davinci Resolve and I feel that is just more comfortable... Especially you have that bigger picture of the whole process. You video is very good only if I had seen it at first.

First person that I see that actually explains well color grading

Great video. Breakdowns for specific tools are really helpful. Id love to see more.

Perfect video for the beginners !

the best ever. I rarely comment but now I must say thanks to you ❤

Very good explanation, never seen anyone make such good tutorial, please make a video about sharpness and degrain

Thank you for this in-depth explanation! I've never seen anyone go into the color grading tool like this ❤

This was Ana amazing tutorial! Thank you!❤

This is massively helpful in understanding color and tonality!!! This makes it all make sense! Thank you!!!

SEAL TEAM is amazinng!! gonna rewatch it now

love this style of your videos. keep up the good work

Nice job -- you got to the point w/o 2-3 minutes of pointless BS. After many attempts on my part, I think I finally am beginning to "get" what color grading is about. Your reference to "splits" was helpful. As a new subscriber I offer a sincere "thanks" for this work.

The best tutorial I have seen on colour grading.Great job.

Thanks for the easy explanation ❤

This is the best colour grading tutorial I've ever come across!

another SEAL Team fan here Anthony!
