Lightroom CC/Mobile Version!!! - • Unlock Lightroom CC Hi...
Another week, another Lightroom tutorial! This week we are talking about Lightroom's Calibration panel and how it will seriously change how you edit your images. I cannot stress enough how much this can change how you edit and add to your images without making them look overly done.
As always thanks for watching and please let me know what you think down below. Here's the link to that Fstoppers article I talk about in the video:

Pushing all the colors in the calibration tool way up and then fine tuning with the HSL tool seems to open a lot more possibilities since the HSL tool has so many sliders for different colors and one has control of hue, saturation and luminance in one convenient panel. I have wondered for a long time what the calibration panel was for but the Adobe literature was very vague. Thanks for your hard work!

@stevied653 3 жыл бұрын

I’m colourblind (reds/greens/blues) and really struggled with editing as my earlier images were really saturated, I would bump up the colour until I could see them pop but by that point it was way too much. Nowadays I do all of my local adjustments and then when I feel my image is finished I desaturate the whole image. This seems to have been working for me but obviously it will desaturate the whole image and not just specific areas etc. What you have just demonstrated will be so much easier for me to edit my images. Thanks

@Seanonyoutube 3 жыл бұрын

@@AlexArmitage the calibration panel is primarily used in situations where colors must remain consistent between different cameras. Interestingly though, if you’ve ever used a color passport, the slider that always seems to increase in saturation is that blue slider. It makes me think that perhaps most sensors out there today slightly under saturate the blues for whatever reason...
