Wow! I really appreciate your approach to colour grading, you have a knack for simplifying the concepts while also touching on tools that in my experience many photographers avoid using fully. Thank you!
Undoubtedly the best tutor for photoshop color grading.. Just like to study posing, we have to look at the painting masters. And I know all the top Photoshop tutors on RUclips.
I've been missing a very important factor on color correction with my photos the whole entire time. this is one amazing tutorial you got here, therefore I am looking for more of your videos. Cheers to that illustrative example of actual paints you got there not everyone's doing it.
Another great color video, Blake. I found the connection between tube paint and the digital world very helpful for understanding the Selective Color adjustment layer. My 'Blake's color theory' video playlist just keeps growing longer!
Really love how you used paint to illustrate this for us! Along with breaking down the idea and process in an easy to follow lesson. Great video as always Blake.
Excellent work again Blake. I cannot tell you how much my confidence in working with colour has grown since following your tutorials. I now use so many of your colour/tonal techniques to process my images; even my wildlife work. For someone who was born into a black & white world, my colour learning has grown exponentially and greatly assisted by using your PE4 plugin. I still have so much to learn and continue to strive to get the best out of what I do. Like yourself, I spent my whole working life serving the in the military & law enforcement, when I didn't have time to 'stand and stare'. But now I do. And thanks to your invaluable efforts, I now see the power of colour in my finished images and my photography in general. Keep up the good work.....
Awesome tutorial!! For 2 years I have been wondering & looking for this. I knew their had to be a better way to save the saturation while adjusting the color intensity!!
Blake, This is so useful, and timely. Thanks for doing through the details. I got an email notice today from MattK about some tutorials. In the email was the link to a video he did thanking you for helping him when he decided to strike out on his own after On1. An important part of the story was his congratulating you on your retirement from the USAF. During all the years I've followed you from the early HDR days, I never had a hint that you were a member of the military. Congratulations on your successful career and retirement. And, thank you for your service. Best wishes for the future. Looking forward to more great content on f64 Academy.
Thanks so much David! Yep, I kept it quiet from the RUclips audience because, well, situational awareness and cyber security are of utmost importance when you are in the service. I did let it out more recently to the f.64 Elite audience, but only sparingly. I appreciate you and your kind remarks, David!
Blake, congratulations on your retirement and every wish for an even better future than you may have imagined! I want to thank you, also, for the wonderful way you have of explaining things so that they will be understood and therefore not forgotten. You've been instrumental in helping me create images I'm proud to share.
I like how you mentioned that your earlier work was saturation 100% - I think we've all been there. Having said that, I don't think the greens in the last photo needed any tweaks.
I’m not a big Photoshop user, but I was able to get some great results using what you spoke about with LR with HSL and masking. This makes me want to learn more about PS. Great video!
Thanks. This will be helpful. I wish we had selective color in Lightroom so we could copy a change to multiple images. Fighting the neon greens would be high on my list. Even without that, understanding that we can use lighter/darker colors will help using HSL panel in LR.
Blake you continue to provide valuable tutorials...explaining things that the others don't....Although I have been experimenting with selective color...your tutorial served to reinforce the nature of its powers....and highlighted things that I have missed...Thank You..!!!
Subdue the color with its complement. Interesting. Many photos I see .via magazines or better yet, think cinema…they color grade the overall image with a dual or triple tones, but to see it explained as subduing a color via complement, that’s something I haven’t heard before. Thank you for a new tool in my toolbox.
Yep, very true and that's different than this technique. This is targeting specific colors, but when you color grade for Cinema you are typically targeting varying tones.
Excellent and informative tutorial, I hadn’t considered adjusting colour that way and will definitely help my work flow. I’ll certainly be checking out your other colour tutorials, thank you!
To add on to what you're saying. Another reason is when photographers edit in ProPhoto RGB thinking they're getting the most out of their file and then output to sRGB. The skin tones tend to saturate more when this is done. They don't realize that ProPhoto is for specialized situations and they should just stick with sRGB for the entire workflow.
This is one of the best colour grading explanations I ever seen on RUclips and I did watch a lot of videos! Definitely subscribe to your channel!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A very good lesson. I have focused on using LR's HSL panel with some good effect, but the Selective Color is something I'll need to experiment with. Blake is right, it's hilarious how some of my older colour processing was over the top. But the great thing about RAW files, and, for that matter, even jpegs, is that non-destructive editing means you can always go back to the original with improved skill sets for better results.
Great tutorial! Color grading applications in film post production have scopes. Learn reading scopes and you can color grade without looking. Because human eyes are very bad meters. Set your phone from night to daylight and its blue for a reason. Eyes and ears get tired. Lighting in the room. Screens, calibration. All relevant here. I am surprised that photo editing applications are catching up with Lookup Tables which is coming directly from movie color grading and pre/post productiom in cinema. But the scopes are still not there. Its seriously unbelievable. 👌🏻
As an amateur, I’ve watched literally thousands of tutorials on photography including dozens on photo editing-this was by far the clearest and most helpful on how to get the coloration correct! My only question is, how does this translate to Lightroom (specifically Lightroom 5, since I have the paid license version not the current subscription version)?
Finally, someone who really teach how to work with colors. Not just saying to mess with the sliders.
Thanks!
I’ve grown so much in my editing since I started watching your videos. Keep it going I literally watch all your videos.
WOW! Even the bad ones ;)
Thanks so much for your support, it means so much to me to read this!
Wow. Blake, that painting example just opened my eyes and makes me understand the color sliders better yet again! Thanks a lot man.
SWEEET! So glad the demo helped!
Wow! I really appreciate your approach to colour grading, you have a knack for simplifying the concepts while also touching on tools that in my experience many photographers avoid using fully. Thank you!

😁♥️ I love it ! Painting taught me so much about color in photography, glad I realized I sucked at painting and took up something I'm good at 🤣🤣
This is the clearest explanation on this subject I've watched. Great work!
Awesome! So glad you found it 😁
Best video I have seen on color! Color right out of the tube was a huge help, great visual. Thank you for helping it finally click in my head!🤦♀️😆
Awesome! So glad that helped !
Yes, that painting example was so great. Thank you very much for that.
Absolutely!
Really love how you used paint to illustrate this for us! Along with breaking down the idea and process in an easy to follow lesson. Great video as always Blake.
Thanks, Brian! I figured, I talk about it enough, I should probably show it :)

Never seen colour explained like this before. This is very useful. Thanks.
😁 glad it helped!
Wow this was great. 1st and best explanation on color I’ve seen in years.
Wow, thank you! That means so much to me!
As always, you are the master of colors! Thanks Blake for great color lesson.
My pleasure! I love Color :)
You got it daddy
Your best dissertation on color yet!
Thanks so much 😁
Excellent. A tip we don't see everywhere, congrats !
Thanks 😁
I'm professional photographer and I find this video very helpful. Thanks!
Awesome! Glad you liked it 😁
Very good explanation.
Learned something.
Thanks
Glad to hear that!
One of the best trick to adjust color, thanks a lot for the video
My pleasure!
Wow what an incredible and helpful video. Loved the paiting demostration. You, Sir, are a Master. Thank you for this.
Thanks so much, that really means the world to me 😉

That's incredible to read! Wow! Thanks so much. I really do appreciate your encouragement and kind words!
Watched a year ago and lost the concept in my workflow. I need to work with this as it’s powerful. Thanks again for your excellence.
I like how you mentioned that your earlier work was saturation 100% - I think we've all been there. Having said that, I don't think the greens in the last photo needed any tweaks.
Thanks! If anything just look at it for demo purposes then 😁
Sending this one to my buddy who teaches painting. His big thing is working with values to create the color palettes.
I can legit say no one does reviews like you do. Insightful tips that are vastly different from the generic tutorials on here.
Wow! Thanks so much 😁
Thx alot for that eye opening explanation and demonstration of how colors work under the hood 👍 (also like #15 in the back 😄)
Heck yes! BEL15VE!
Perfectly and clearly explained !! Good job !! Thanks !!
Thanks 😁 I appreciate it!

Woohoo! Stock around here, all I teach is Photoshop 😁
You make color easy to understand, thank you. On a side note, I loved Matt’s story about you and want to thank you so much for your service.
Thanks, Judy! It means a lot to me 😁
This is a great technique I am going to use for color grading videos! 👍👍 Thanks for sharing!
That would be a great way to use it :)
Brilliant and so informative, equipping to develop skill rather than just showing a hack
I appreciate you for recognizing that 😁
I did not know you paint. Great demonstration! Thank you!
I did! I also used to sculpt and make litho, wood cut and silk screen. A long time ago 😁 now just photography.
Thanks. This will be helpful. I wish we had selective color in Lightroom so we could copy a change to multiple images. Fighting the neon greens would be high on my list. Even without that, understanding that we can use lighter/darker colors will help using HSL panel in LR.
Super super super interesting. Looking forward to use this wonderful teachings on my next edits. Thank you so much buddy!
My sincere pleasure! Enjoy!
@@f64Academy I'll certainly will as it seems very effective and accurate :)

My sincere pleasure 😁
Super helpful! Using the paint made it really easy to understand. Great video!!
Awesome! Glad it helped 😁
Blake you continue to provide valuable tutorials...explaining things that the others don't....Although I have been experimenting with selective color...your tutorial served to reinforce the nature of its powers....and highlighted things that I have missed...Thank You..!!!
Excellent video, I know these principles when using paint, but hadn't figured out how to work with them in the digital world.
Thanks 😁 they translate very well actually.
Amazing tutorial. Thank you.
My pleasure!
This video was absolutely amazing. Thank you!
Awesome video. I loved how you used examples with painting to really make the point to stick.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Super great video. Simple, straight forward and to the point! Now I need to hang a color wheel near my desk. LOL!
It is very helpful, I have several :)
Yes I see that so often in pictures --- oversaturation and oversharpening unless it is purposeful.
Excellent and informative tutorial, I hadn’t considered adjusting colour that way and will definitely help my work flow. I’ll certainly be checking out your other colour tutorials, thank you!
Awesome! Glad you found this helpful. Please take a look around at the other tutorials 😁
Wow, been searching for someone to explain this as well as you do. Thanks I love how you use the paint to explain. New subscriber here.
Awesome, thank you so much!
Thanks for the great video. Nice to see this footbridge, local to me, used in a photography video on RUclips.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Learned a ton of stuff in this videos! You got a new sub :)
Woot! Thanks ☺️

Very true! I don't edit in ProPhoto for several reasons and that is one of them.

Whoop whoop! Thanks!
Another great show by example video, Blake. We keep coming back and there's always something new to look forward to. Thank you.
Great video! Always hated increasing saturation as a whole as it always messed up some parts of the video, this is great
Glad you got something from it 😉
Thanks for the great information!
Have a nice weekend!
A very good lesson. I have focused on using LR's HSL panel with some good effect, but the Selective Color is something I'll need to experiment with.

This was a really great video, thank you! You’ve gained a sub!
Awesome! Thanks for your support!
I seriously need to go back and watch all of your videos 😂 This showed me I need to do way less in lightroom.
😁 Raw processing is only about 10% of my workflow!
Brilliantly explained 👍🏻
😁 glad it resonated with you
Very well explained, I love watching your tuts on color grading
Happy to hear that! Color Grading is my favorite part of the workflow.
You just never stop learning new things in Photography!
:) Never!
Perfectly explained. Thank you.
Oh wow! Thanks :)
Much appreciated. Alot of thanks from Uganda.
Just subscribed. Wow. Truly appreciate the effort.

I wish we had them!
Very informative , thanks for sharing. Greetz from Belgium
Great video!!! Thanks! I always wondered how people adjusts colors in pictures. I’m one of those who hit the full on saturation bar. 😬👋
This is a great way to start!
As an amateur, I’ve watched literally thousands of tutorials on photography including dozens on photo editing-this was by far the clearest and most helpful on how to get the coloration correct! My only question is, how does this translate to Lightroom (specifically Lightroom 5, since I have the paid license version not the current subscription version)?
Thanks! I'm Lightroom this would be in the color mixer section. But you can't use selective color the same way since it's not there.
Another brilliant tutorial, will be an interesting way to adjust my photo colour editing in future, thanks
Wonderful video, thank you for posting this!
My sincere pleasure!
This is a very good idea. Thank you. I have done this many times before, but with other tools.
Thanks again Blake! Very useful video
Glad you liked it!
