this is honestly the best lightroom tutorial i have ever seen. this is freaking brilliant and it makes so much sense. a BW image is easier to judge. sometimes i start editing on a photo and i am not sure where i want to go with it because i see all of the colors together and its overwhelming. by tackling each color individual... man... i m loving this

That's utterly brilliant! I am going back over loads of my old photos and having another go - it is totally changing the vibe! This has seriously changed how I am going about processing

🤯 Mind officially blown! For me, this improved my editing as adding to an image is easier than removing. Actually feels more natural. Awesome Video, Mark!

Love this! I often shoot in a dark venue with crazy stage lighting. This will help with odd colors by taking control of what color I want where. Can't wait to try it!

This is brilliant! When I started off learning lightroom I was taught to use edit exposure first, in BW to avoid interference and bias of colours, and do edit colours seperately afterwards. There's a lot I like with this process BUT I always felt overwhelmed by the drama the colors caused when going back to colour. Using the technique you present in this video totally removes that and allows you to add in the colors and refine them at the same time. Much appreciated Mark, will be using this moving forward!

Wow, that’s a great tip. It makes a lot of sense and works so well. I’d been working from the other direction, toning down from full color. From now on I’ll be doing a 180 and toning up from B&W. 😎👍

Thanks for doing this. I just did a couple of shoots, one for a band and the other for a solo artist. Everyone was looking for a heavy industrial look. I have been using a lot of different, traditional techniques but I’m excited to try some of the ideas you presented here.

love seeing these type of videos, i like knowing why you make each changes. Love hearing the thought process. Please do more.

This has honestly revolutionised my editing. Being colourblind makes things super hard and this simplifies completely - thank you!

what i loved about you, that you don't "sell presets" but you learn people very useful skills. thanks man... you are Amazing.

Wow! Thank you for the technique!!! Love the flow process, and applying them was soo easy and speeded up my color grading!

Hi Mark, as in my music production, subtracting to bring out other elements as opposed to just adding and adding to try and achieve results is so important and delivers better results.

Two words: BRILLIANT and GENIUS

Love you man for this. This gave me a proper workflow for editing my photos. I had a serious problem with having unwanted colours in my photos. This works out so well for me.❤️❤️

Surprising ! I always retouch my future B&W images in colour first before turning them to B&W but never thought about doing the reverse !! Thanks for sharing.

This actually makes me excited! I've never thought about using the gray scale to color-correct on my photographs. Can't wait to try it out!

I had to go through my watch history and find this video to tell you the following. Removing the saturation from each channel and then adding it is the best way to color correct and grade. Now it is part of my workflow and I don't think it is ever gonna go away. Seriously, I feel very lucky and grateful to have watched this video. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. I really, really appreciated. I mean, I used to change the saturation for each channel starting from 50 and then changing the lightining and hue of each channel. But I have never tought to start from 0.

One of the best tutorials ever! Thanks man for amazing inspiration in all your videos 🔥

I just spent the last hour editing three similar images while watching your easy to follow process and was very excited with the results. cheers

Really good workflow, love your style of teaching, heading to NYC in May and will be doing more B&W shooting and also trying to mix things up a bit using the methods you show here.

Wow! Thanks for an awesome tutorial. I struggle with the artistic side of editing but you've just opened my eyes to a whole new world.

Most photosophical video I’ve watched lately! Thanks for sharing, I’m definitely gonna try this!

This is quite interesting, I can't wait to try this type of color editing. Thanks for sharing your instructions!

Bloody brilliant mate! You have changed the way I look at photos and edit them, thank you!

Wow, just wow. This is why I love photography. Thanks a lot. This really motivates me

Interesting to balance out the light first then introduce the color back in with greater control. Tried it and will definitely keep this in my toolbox. Great video!

This process is incredible. Thanks for Sharing.

Just subscribed. I recently used this technique on a log cabin that had patches of colour around it. Love the way you processed these.

I love the tutorial. This is a great approach I’m going to use to edit my photos

This makes so much sense!!!! I've got to try this now. I guess it works more for moody type shots.

This technic of editing is magic. Thank You Mark for this tutorial. I will do my best with this technic.

Had to try it before the video even ended. Was a game changer. I've always felt like something is missing in my pictures and it was this for suremb. Thanks!!

The old village is lovely, hope you had a great time.

Very interesting, thanks! I don't use this technique but I actually edit my images in b&w before applying Fuji's film simulations and it works well for me

Such incredible colour editing technique, wonderful, I love it

Wow, thx a lot. Very best and clever way to do color grade.

This is by far the best trick I've seen for colour grading... thanks Mark

That's a magnificent way to edit. Thank u a lot.

Definitely going to try this out, Thank you for the video.

Such a helpful video! Thank you so much and your photos are amazingg

I’ve never seen any of your videos but the algorithm told me I needed that. And well… it was right ! I’ve never seen this way of editing before, I’m definitely trying this. I subscribe ! Thank you !

Really love this Mark, thanks for sharing. It gives a great look to the images. Loved the Brighton video as well, really inspirational.

One of my favorite colorists worked this way. Jais Thierry Lamaire colored some of the most iconic Music Videos and Commercials. He would switch back and forth between black and white and color during the session. The looks he achieved on skintone and contrast were amazing.

this method blew my mind. very nice!

Thx for a really great video, can't wait to try It out. Looking forward to future videos.

I like this type of editing. Never seen it before! Def gonna try this out in the future!

Similar concept to sound production, mixing in mono first,then creating the stereo spread. Kinda genuis,which explains why it never occured to me,so thanks!
