Surprised you didn't go over the Selection Tool in Curves. Up on top right of the panel - if you click on that small circle with the dot in it - you can then mouse over to a point on the photo and drag up or down to manipulate the shades in the range. I find this very helpful when I want to get an exact spot on the photo I want to mess with to see what my ranges are.
Nice video! I have been using curves for years but wouldn’t have been able to explain them so clearly. It’s nice to demystify them and better visualize what they do, thanks to simple explanations, good examples (starting with the simple gradient) and the illustrations you used (primary and secondary colors). I must say I like curves as part of my main preset because of their ability to apply a specific look to pictures while leaving the basic panel untouched. I use the curves to create a matte effect too but as someone else mentioned, I was looking for a way to save the highlights too, which is something I still have to do through the basic panel. Thank you.
Our eye work in 3 channels? That's a broad generalisation. If people are completely colour blind then they see 0 colour channels, only light levels or gray values or exposure values. That's very rare and most colour blind people are colour weak in that they see colour in 2 channels. BUT there are also people who see 4 colour channels and potentially these women see colour differently, more nuanced, than us 3 channels limited mortals. The sons of these 4 channel women are generally colour weak and so I hypothesise that colour vision - the channels - is on the X chromosome (the anatomy of the brain is on the X chromosome too, a man cannot get that from their father).
green is NOT a primary colour. "Primary colours include red, blue and yellow. Primary colours cannot be mixed from other colours. They are the source of all other colours. Secondary colours are mixed from two primary colours adjacent to each other on the colour wheel. The secondary colours are orange, green and violet." If you're talking about physics and light, though, your primary colours are red, green and blue.
There isn't just one set of primaries and he's literally discussing light being admitted from a computer screen, so RGB. You obtain Red by mixing Magenta and Yellow, and Blue by mixing Magenta and Cyan so by your definition RYB aren't primaries.

Thank you.
That's a really, really good explanation! Thank you 🙏
Need to watch this a few times. Excellent work through . Just one thing please stop saying basically.
This is a GREAT video. Thank you very much.
Gorgeous Tutorial My Friend. Sixth vid of your i have learned from. Love the mathematical approach of LightRoom. Gonna Put Some Practice on it :D
Brilliant! Have subbed! 👍
Great explanation! Thanks!
Fantastic tute. Than you.
Thanks a lot for the video. I will stop using LSD and use clipping curves instead 🎉
On a more serious note this was a really good explanation.
Amazing tutorial, thank you James 🙏
Thank you again for a great tutorial. I cannot find your Video Feaver on youtube?
Perfect Video...
What can i say...Its cold outhere. Tks for your time and knowledge
Good tutorial!
Sir pls make a Tone Curve video for the newly introduced HDR
Great!!!!
Thank you,
How did you create the black to white gradient?
Love your accent😃
I was told the Point Curve can be used to recover highlights in color channels. Could you do a video doing this.
Yes it can
Perfect !
the picture looked better before your color grade
This channel name must change to “right now”
You sound exactly like Arry Potta
Thanks from Hogwarts!
when you cannot see what you are clicking, the speed youare talking: this is not teaching

Excellent video. Only criticism, you use the Americanism 'go ahead' and do something far too often. It really starts to get distracting.
