Thank you for actually TEACHING and not just showing! Excellent video!

SUPER DUPER. Comprehensive. Detailed...The little things that are relevant, without going on a tangent. Easily understood. Professional delivery...from "the guy next door." I need to dig into more of your tutorials. Thank you!

I am absolutely awed by this tutorial. I've been using gradient maps forever & had no idea how simple it is to manipulate them into giving you much better results. Of particular interest was the part explaining how to get less blocked up shadows & less blown out highlights when using the soft light blend mode. Much appreciated. Looking forward to more awesome tutorials from you.

Wow. This is the BEST tutorial on color grading I've watched. You explained it so clearly.

SUPERB is all I can say. You do all the detail that make it easy to follow. Being slow minded because I am old, I play back at 75% speed.

Best tutorial on color grading with gradient maps; fantastic! Thank you Steve.

Finally, the complete tutorial on colour grading with gradient maps. Thank you so very much.

This is a brilliant video. Clearly explained and at a helpful pace. Clearly colour grading takes understanding and practise. This video provides a solid foundation. Many thaniks.

You are the best Photoshop teacher I've encountered on KZfaq. Thank you.

This is the most comprehensive video about gradient maps. Thank you.

The first grading tutorial that I see that is explained perfectly, thank you.

Wow, this tutorial is beyond helpful. I learned so much from this, thank you for sharing this with us.

Thank you so much for this very instructional video. I have been looking for this for a long time to replace presets we need to purchase. You're explanations are so clear. You are a very good instructor.

Excellent! Thank you. Clear, well explained, and easy to follow. No missing pieces.

So very well, clearly, and expertly explained - Setting a new standard in photoshop tutorial videos.

Really great tutorial, thanks 🙏. Your teaching style is second to none!

Really useful tutorial. Thank you, I learnt much more from this than many others on YT.

Awesome explanation mate, thank you

Very well explained that everyone can understand even a dummy like me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great tutorial on gradient maps - a very powerful tool and for me it's not one that springs to mind first when tweaking images. I have a tip for anyone watching tutorials like these - turn the sound off - Then on the settings cog - switch captions on and then reduce the speed to something like 0.5 or 0.75. A nice slow way to absorb information!

Great video - I have looked at several KZfaq Gradient Map videos, but so far none have mentioned the Opacity sliders or sufficiently emphasised the need to start with default colours. Consequently I was confused, but this has largely sorted me out.

Oh my God! I m surprised! How beauuuuu....tifully and calmly you have described this chapter!! Love you, Sir!💗

Excellently explained and demonstrated

Very good and clear explanation in details.thank you

Simple yet extremely powerful, beautiful work, thank you!

excellent tutorial, very well explained. thanks a lot for sharing

I just start using Photoshop not long ago. Loved this video explanation in details. Really thankful for that 🙌🏻. Most KZfaqr explained either very fast or unable to understand fully. So far this video is the best I had came across. Once again thank u very much

wow! i've been using gradients with blend modes, mostly in 'elements', for years, but i had no idea about gradient maps! thank you so much for this! 🙂

Simply best. I must to say my 2days journey for searching on colors wheel and gradient ends here now... Thanks

Hi Steve, very effective method of teaching. I really enjoyed it. I wonder why it did not appear in my search before? I'm so grateful!! Thanx! ❤

Really appreciate your teaching style and the methodical approach. Really helped me in creating amazing Color graded pictures. Thank you for such a comprehensive video!

You done it again another lesson i knew very little about now, not frightened to try on images. Thank you again

I started my photoshop journey with photoshopessentials back in 2012, keep up the good work.

Thank you Steve! This was really helpful!

Thank you so much Steve for the informative and very helpful tutorial! God bless you and good luck!

Thank you so much ! The most clarity video with lesson about color granding.

This is the tutorial that has given me the correct understanding of what goes on in colour grading and made me feel like start using it. As an engineer with a background in image processing, I loved how the explanation can be useful both for my analytic self and for an average only final results oriented guy. Now it's time to apply it in the GIMP with the knowledge acquired ;)

I MUST leave a comment. I followed several color grading tutorials: poorly explained, too many words. This was so clear and PRECISE! I am your new fan. I am applying this to my work. THANK YOU!!

Excellent! Thank you, best tutorial on color grading with gradient maps

Tanks your excellent teaching

Can't tell you how great you are .. Thank you so much for this very informative video ..

Thank you very much for this tutorial .... outstanding, brilliant, amazing

awesome explanations ! Love that you explain the logic behind what you do - that's the part I was looking for !

thank you for this tutorial.

what a wonderful tutorial, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This turorial is really the greatest work ! Amazing and awesome !!!

Great video. I have a question though. Why not save the Gradient map as a LUT instead of dragging it to another file? Wouldn't that be way more practical than opening the same PSD image over and over just to copy the layer? Or am i missing something? Does anyone have input on this?

Thank you! Your tutorial was just awesome!

Wow 🤩 amazing. Thank you for explaining all the details. This helps a lot ! A really appreciate!

Wow! Excellent teaching skills. This smooth, perfectly paced comprehensive (not overpowering) instructional method is hard to find. Thank you.... Is it possible for me to select one of my existing images and copy and paste the exact color combo with no map to a new image? Thanks.

Awesome tutorial

Thank you so much Sensei! You are a blessing!

super tutorial.. thank you!!!

Lectio magistralis, no more to add, thank you very much

Great tutorial. Loaded with useful info. that others skip over. 👍

wonderful explanation of gradient maps. very useful video

Nice and clear! Thanks for this one.

Great video, very informative and very well explained

Good god. Nobody has explained the gradient as well as you have.

Very helpful tutorial, thank you!

Very good well explained , going to give it a try

Great explanation on color grading. With the release of 2022 CRF version of color grading, with the exception of being able to save presets, what do you feels are the advantages of the cg adjustment layer over CRF cg? Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

That’s the best explanation I’ve seen

That was excellent thank you

Thanks for this excellent tutorial!

Awesome! Thanks!

Beautiful, thanks!

I watched some of your videos and I really liked them , your explaining method is very efficient , but can you please make a video about how to use the 3D option in PS , I don't know exactly what it's for but I just wonder if you can turn 2D image into 3D , I checked your channel but I didn't find it , I prefer your videos to others on youtube , so I hope you will do it ... Bty thank you for your effort

Really excellent tutorial. I use PSE but still can be used effectively for gradient maps! My only artistic note, would involve using the gradient map on Landscape photos. This is a skill that I have learned overtime. Mostly I use it to save a over blown photos. As we know there is no information to be abstracted in clipped white photos, however you can add some very mild color back into the photo using a gradient map! Using this in combination with masking and some great and unique brush sets at very low opacity can give you stunning results to an otherwise wasted shot!!! Just a fun tip, I really enjoy the ease and content on your channel!!! Moonpie

Great tips..Thanks! Subscribed!

Thank you so much for your sharing.

Fabulous

Amazing! Thanks you❤

Amazing. Thank you so much.

nice tutorial, helped a lot

Wooooaaaoohh thank you so much for this tutorial !!! 🙏👍👏

thanks Steve ,Very informative and educational. I have question for you thou How to determine the exact Number of HSL. for a given Color ? thank you very much

Fabulous class!

thanks for your video !

Great Video....Thank You!

Thank you!

it works! thanks!

Brilliant explanation.

What I really need is the lightroom version of this - can you do that one next? I just elarned th color tool, now LUTS and gradient mapping - if avail - is the next logical step. For classic cinematic looks like the traditional blue / teal, it would be great to use a simple LUT instead of playing around with presets that mostly don't do the same thing. I keep photoshop to the very very last edits. Thanks!

Amazing ! it was out of thought that only applying "Apply image" we can do the exposure blend ! I want to know more on this "apply image' i.e. why it is happening with apply image ? what is the reason behind that? Waiting for your response.

Great explanation. Great unintentional asmr too. And she’s beautiful

Excellent !!

Thank you
