Now you know Curves, use them with dodging and burning, this will blow the socks off your photographs kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jaiYqLZhqsyph58.html

You're the only KZfaqr I found to explain curves properly. Thank goodness for you!

Thanks for this video Colin. I learned a LOT about curves. And yes, I am subscribed and have elected to be notified about new videos. You're a great teacher!

That was awesome! Thank you for putting it so clearly and simply!! Never used the curves before but looking forward to trying it out now! 👍🏻

This is by far the best lesson on curves that I have seen. You've explained everything very well. Thank you!

This is the BEST explanation of the curves adj field I've ever seen. I finally understand what it's doing. Thank you

Thanks much Colin. Great tutorials. I have several of your courses & find them to be extremely informative & easy to follow. Your presentation works admirably,

AMAZING!!! So clearly explained-- the best explanation I have found on curves. You understand your audience and help everyone listening to this gain confidence! Thank you!

@photoshopCafe that is an awesome tutorial on Curves! just discovered your channel and I am pumped!

Great tutorial on curve adjustment in PS! I have been using curve adjustment only for simple contrast adjustment until I watched this video. I will definitely explore more using this adjustment on my photos. Thanks Colin!

This is the best explanation that I ever have on understanding curve. Thank you Colin.

Thank you so much for the detailed tutorial on curves, I have never used it before, it has helped me significantly on my edits.

This is great stuff. First time I got a good understanding of the curve tool. Much appreciated.

Hi Colin, thank you for explaining how to use curves so well. I did not know how this worked fully before. Love this kind of video learning.

Thanks for a great video -- esp the color adjustment!

very nice thank you. didn't know the details .you explained it very well!

A lot of thanks for making and sharing your video!!

So many tutorials out there. By far, yours, are the easiest to comprehend. They are extensive - Which I love- but not tiring, much less boring. I wish I found you before when I was learning Photoshop. In any case, there’s always something useful to learn in any of your tutorials. Even your guitar playing is fun to see. Great work Colin!

Thanks. Every time I think I understand curves I learn something new. The idea of stacking curves adj layers and doing color and contrast separately was new to me and sounds very useful.

Best curves tutorial so far! Thank You!

Hey Colin, I knew all this (having watched a bunch of earlier videos!) but your clear explanations refreshed my knowledge. Thanks a lot!

Love your explanations on curve!

Thank you. This is an excellent tutorial. You have a way of teaching that doesn’t leave out the beginner.

I have watched this lesson many times, in fact I open it every time I have a difficult file to process and each time I pick up yet another nuance. It has become the very core of my Photoshop processing.

Thanks Colin, I have not understood Curves before that video was a big eye opener, I am not a curves fan. Thank you so much for explaining it so well. The lockdown here in South Africa is very restrictive having your videos and tutorials to watch and keep us busy and positive and hopefully improved our photoshop usage. Thank you for that.

I have played around with curves in the past, but really didn't have a clue what they were capable of. Pretty sure I can get a handle on them now with this tutorial. Thanks Colin.

Very handy tutorial, I learned to anchor the point of the curve where I want to edit. This was new to me and very useful

Great tutorial that takes the mystery out of using curves. Thank you!

I've just done the basic contrast sliders in Photoshop so curves has opened up a whole new world for me. Really it comes down to playing around (a lot) with curves on different photos and seeing what you like. Also it's important to be able to look at a photo and get an idea of what you want to bring out of it or what you want to do to it. I've taken photos already and used curves/contrast to really darken everything except the side of a person's face and use that for a website look and feel. Your tutorial has caused me to go back and realize that I could pop out more facial features and still keep the darkened feeling of the image. Thank you for doing this video.

Another excellent tutorial Colin. I always make a mess when I've used the individual channels but hopefully after this tutorial I'm going to use curves properly now.

Thank you, you're the best teacher for Ps on youtube.

Thank you for providing these videos, you explain and demonstrate things clearly. You are definitely making photoshop less frustrating and intimidating to me👍🏽😁

Excellent tutorial, liked the targeted colour adjustment at the end of the video. Have not seen that done before.

This is the first time I understand how curves really work. Until now I’ve dragging up and down trying to get some cool coloring effects but now I understand when and how to use them. Thank you so much. That was brilliant and clearly explained mister.

I've used curves for years...but I never noticed the command/control + shift + click to set markers on the color channels before. Great, thank you!

thank you SO much for this tutorial!

Muy bien explicado, ¡por fin entiendo las curvas!. Muchas gracias.

Great tutorial. I do use curves and knew about the RGB and colour tones but didn't really understand the input output bit. Now I do AND now know how to target individual areas. Thanks for a great tutorial Colin.

Lovely video Colin.

Thank you. Terrific tutorial.

Thanks for these tutorials, I use Photoshop and Lightroom for Property photography as well as astrophotography. I watch other people's workflows and try to use them but they usually don't take the time to explain the rationale behind their actions. Your tutorials enable me to fully understand and optimize the actions for my specific purposes. I am going to go through all your stuff I can find!

Often use curves but just to adjust shadows and highlights. Your video very enlightening, so will view it again now that I know how powerful curve adjustments can be. Thanks and I look forward to more similar videos.

wow, that's very helpful. Thanks so much for the tutorial. I'm going to try it immediately.

So far the best explanation and demonstration of curve. I knew you were able to do a lot with curves but most tutorials failed to explain in detail the procedures. Great tutorial.

Appreciate this video. Very good information. Just cracked open the curves rabbit hole this past weekend. This video took me deeper. Thank You

Excellent tutorial! Many many thanks to you! SUBSCRIBED!!!

Thanks for this tutorial. I never really knew how to use Curves but this helped me understand them now and how to apply it to photos.

omg finally, I found a very good explanation on the curves

Flawless Colin. As usual!

Thanks. I never really understood Curves up to now. Great video x

Using adjustment curves in photoshop for years! Always start with that and may use several stacked. They can always be changed. Gives ultimate control over values. Excellent explanation.

Thanks alot, now I understand the curve adjustment. it helped me alot.

Thanks man . this is the most informative and well explained tutorial about curve . Thanks man again.

Catching up on some of your older videos and found this one especially helpful. Best explanation of curves I've seen. Too bad there's so darned much for a casual Photoshop user to remember. 😊

Best explanation of curves yet 👍🏻

Just come across this video. Many thanks for explaining curves so precisely. I now have a much better understanding ! Now subscribed!

Yes, I was one of those that just used Curves for adjusting the contrast. Now I know how to use it more effectively. Thanks so much!

Genuinely useful video. Thanks!

Learned a lot from this video, had messed about with curves but now I know how much you can tweak a photo. Cheers.

Thank you so much for this! It helped me understand curves even more!!

Gave me a little more confidence to try curves. Thank you.

that's is a great tutorial on curves! I loved it.

Thanks, you have explained it so well.

Excellent video! Excellent instructor too, not a lot of extra words and the speed of info is just right.

Great video. Now I understand how curves and how I can use them to improve my images other than just adjusting the contrast. Thanks

very nice and precise tutorial....thanx a lot

so awesome, THANKS !!!

You nailed it thanks for the tutorial

Great explanation and made things a little clearer to use properly.

Thank you for this tutorial Colin, I hardly every use Curves as I found it too intimidating... now that you have explained it so well it all makes perfect sense and I am looking forward to using it a lot more!

I use curves for shadows and highlights all the time but that color trick just blew my mind!! ; )

Thanks for making these awesome tutorials! And no...and I knew nothing about curves..so yes, it helped!

well explained and add on tutorial about curve thank you!

Congratulations. Very fine and inspiring vlog. Very useful and understandable. Please go on this way.

Thanks. You explain curve very well

I am very glad I watched your video. I had no idea on how to use curves but now I do. Thanks a lot.

great video Colin help a lot

Great job as usual!

I haven’t really tried using the curves so I will from now on! Thank you. I like your work

Hi Colin, like you say in the video; mostly when I have used curves I've just been dragging around without really understanding the power of it. Very interesting to learn how powerful it is in accurate color editing. As always a great tutorial made in an easy to follow way

So well explained that an amateur like me now understood the working of the curves. Fabulous tutorial. Thanks Colin!

I am new to photoshop and was so confused with curves. I am gonna give it a go now. Thank you 😊

Your teaching style is amazing! Keep up the great work 🙏🏻

I've been using curves for a long time and I picked up some useful tips in your tutorial. There are so many different ways to make adjustments using photoshop I sometimes forget things. I used levels a lot in my processing, but as I learn more and more about curves and it's endless possibilities it is quickly becoming my go to.

Colin would have to be one of the best, if not the best presenter on a technical topic such as Photoshop there is on the planet. Perfectly paced, concise and clear with excellent reinforcement by way of examples. Thank You.

I've used curves some, but will a lot more now. Great information!

Best explanation of curves I've watched.

Super helpful! Thanks to your channel I've been able to handle some client projects in our little agency when things get backed up. Much appreciated! :)

That finally got me to understand! Thanks!

Excellent explanation!

Great job manh!!!! Helped me a lot....

Thank you so much! Very well explained!

I have been using Photoshop since it's creation, in a hobbyist way, on and off, but I just learnt something new today by watching this, targeting colours by holding ctrl + shift + click. Thank you very much.

Best curve tutorial I've seen. NOW I get it. Thanks!

Many thanks Colin.

Awesome video I've never understood curves until now Thanks for your help

Great advice Colin only ever used it for contrast in the past 👍🏻😀

I was previously using the curves (hit & trial) not knowing the details how to use them exactly. Command/control+shift+click and adjusting contrast & color in separate layers are very useful which i learned from this video.
