► IMPORTANT: Hey guys! I hope you are doing amazing :) I have a small request; please watch the video till the end so that you don't miss out on the incredible simplicity and benefits of Color Balance. I understand that some of us like to watch the video halfway and jump to a conclusion, which might not be ideal. I'd be grateful if you could please allow me to make an unbiased demonstration simply by watching the entire video. Lots of love! Thank you.

Curves is a more verstile and powerful tool of course but in this case you have to spent a lot of time to reach the same result using Color Balance, and if u make a complex variation of tones, Color Balance is the best choice (if you don't have time to spent)

Thank you for (yet another) very insightful tutorial video. As a PS user of twenty-eight years, I agree that Levels and Color Balance (and Brightness/Contrast) are handy tools when starting out in Photoshop, but Curves are the one-stop-shop which allows you to tweak Color Cast/ Grading, Exposure and Contrast all at the same time.

I have an older version of photoshop and I don't have this "camera raw filter". However I belive that ALL adjustments may be adjsted just by using the "CURVES" adjustment. Using the curves you can adjust: brightness, darkness, make monochrome image, and also make it negative. LIKE YOU SAID- CURVES ARE COMPLETE EQUALIZER. But how do you adjust the temperature, shadows, whites, blacks, dehaze and many other adjustments at the "camera raw filter" ? Also can you make a video where all adjustments could be adjusted with the cuves adjustment if you don't have such a video yet?

@OdraMH 3 жыл бұрын

Saw the whole thing, always amazed at the quality of your explanations. I always looked at the old tools as stepping stones, after they are used often one becomes aware of their limitations and the desire to evolve becomes stronger and stronger, which is were we research and learn how to harness other options such as the first time we leave the comfort of Brightness/Contrast to explore Levels and it made us feel amazed.

i tried something like this comparing Lr HSL panel and Ps Selective Color adjustment layer, with lots of surprise. I created a scale of the base 3 primary colors, and also the 8 main colors of Lightroom HSL panel (red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink) with solid color HSB values hue-shifted from 0 to 360 degrees equally (+45 degrees increment, got different colors than Lr HSL), also not equally just like a color wheel, also variations with not 100% saturation and 100% brightness. Then I applied Selective Color adjustment layer on top of this color spectrum - turned out it has very surprising inconsistencies. Also, Hue/Saturation adjustment layer is not consistent: saturation and luminosity will alter different color ranges differently, not the same extent you would expect. Unmesh, I would love to see a video on this too!

@LucasPitcher13 3 жыл бұрын

So, just like Levels, the use of colour balance is mainly a choice about which tool is easiest for you to use for any given job. How much of the difference when you were looking at highlights was just down to clipping? Would preserve luminosity have given different results at that point? ...off to check for myself!

@LucasPitcher13 3 жыл бұрын

A quick test showed that adding 'preserve luminosity' with the highlights adjusted with colour balance did indeed reduce the clipping effect, making the curves layer better approximate teh clolour balance layer without needing adjust the opacity. Tested - For Science!

@NathalieAnnoye 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much Unmesh, you have demonstrated what I understood, different tools to achieve the same result. But I thought there was a reason for that, like more finesse or precision depending on the tool used. And that suits me fine because I don't like using colour curves, I prefer the colour balance method, which are simpler for me. I just use curves for adjusting brightness, shadows or to make a matte effect
