Blake: You understand the application of color theory to Photoshop better than any one on KZfaq, and you explain it better too. This is coming from a guy whose perception of color could be better. Thanks.

Thank you Blake, you're the first person to give me hope. I'm red/green color blind. I've tried Enchroma glasses with no luck. Your color wheel illustration made me realize I may be able to develop a way to color grade a photo, to actually see a green tree, for the first time. Five percent of males have some degree of color deficiency. I think a program that simplified color grading, for at least one photo for us, might be a real "money maker".
@f64Academy Жыл бұрын
I know right! I wish I could. I have studied the depths of Color Deficiencies but there are about 4 of them or something like that. That makes it hard to make predictable results for all kinds and I can't see what they see to unsee what they see to make something help them see what I see. Lol it makes my brain hurt a lil

Blake...when I first watched this, I was confused (and maybe a little bit intimidated). Having watched it a second time--with PS open to a landscape image--it all makes sense. As a former instructor in a corporate technical education setting, a key to assessing my own level of understanding of a topic is whether or not I'd feel comfortable teaching it to others. I think one more viewing of this fine video will give me that comfort.

Hi I’m an illustrator, I use a few programs that I draw/paint in & generally PS to tweak colours, intensity etc. I’ve not used this though, what an awesome tool... I can see me using this more than any other adjustment, not only to get more intense colours but to create more muted tones where I need, in a much more elegant way than just adjusting saturation. So thanks, this was a great video.

So thought to request you one thing. Can you please make a video on "Color Variability"? It is something new I saw in few places and it seems very powerful while tuning skin tone.
