THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!
Can we talk about how soothing his voice is?
Sometimes i don't even look at the video, just listen to his voice.
Dude this is so insightful, thak you so much for this video, I'm so glad I clicked it because I was tired of seeing others videos about the tone curve and just ended up being a S curve tutorial, now I understand better the concept as a whole
Best explanation of the tone curve ever .. thanks alot
Tone curve masterclass in 15mins!! Loved it!!
Wonderful demonstration! Thanks!
this solved my confusion on tone curve... thanks man...
Pye u r the best instructor ever. For years I’ve been following your tutorial and courses. Boy... u r charismatic and so knowledgeable, buddy! Thanks for all the years of sharing knowledge!
Great information but please, please, please turn the music off on the background... So distracting for us ADD kids!
I could listen to him all day long. I am confident that during that day, I would be learning something the entire time. He is so knowledgeable, creative, and an excellent teacher.
Appreciate it Allen!
As always, nicely explained, thanks.
As a new photographer this has totally demystified the tone curve for me. Thank you so much. I can see myself using it so much more now.
This video helped a LOT. I've been fumbling around the tone curve for years. This video finally makes sense of it for me.
This is me.
best tone curve vid i've ever seen
I love your sequence , easy move from point to the next
This was possibly the best Lightroom tutorial video I've watched. And I've watched A LOT of them. Thank you, Pye, for helping me to take my editing to the next level in just 16 minutes.
This is something amazing. So much simplified. Thank you!!
Do you have the Lightroom tutorial series?
I just watched the video and for the first time in 2 months, I'm finally about to play around with the curves but this time with a little knowledge. Thank you, Pye🤠✌️
Love your teaching style man. You do a great job explaining the subject matter.
This is the best and most comprehensive tone curve tutorial I have seen.
Pye, I've been an amateur photographer for many years now, progressing slowly but steadily in my understanding how things work. I followed your Dodge & Burn tutorial yesterday and your Tone Curve tutorial right now. It was like two revelations! I understood so much in so little time, it's mind-blowing. Thank you so much. And: Congratultations! I have rarely found someone who is NOT ONLY KNOWLEDGEABLE BUT CAN ALSO EXPLAIN THINGS as well as you do. I know what I'm talking about. I've been an instructor and facilitator myself for three decades. - Pye, please, keep going like you do. I will certainly want to follow you and hear more from you! - Norbert from Germany
Wow, found this channel while searching for curves explained. Your voice and way of telling is so good! Thanks a lot!
Excellent video indeed. Thank you.
I knew the tone curve at the most basic level but this video just elevated it’s possibilities for me. I’m so excited to use it to its full potential now. Thank you!
Shift key to constrain vertical, nice easy takeaway from this tutorial, thanks.
Thank you Pye and Adorama! Such high-quality & free education is such a privilege to have access to
finally, i understood the CURVES :D
Thanks Pye, Now ill treat myself with a Pie
I love it just because it makes sense!
Great teacher!!!
Amazing and helpful video! Maybe a video next on colour grading feature in Lightroom!
Outstanding!!
Thank you very much for this informative tutorial :)
This video blew my mind. I have a whole new approach to editing my work. Thank you so much for this.
Cheers mate. Very helpful
Good instructional video with, at last, someone explaining proper use for parametric curves. (Downside? Music. Don't know of any school, college or university that has music playing whilst teacher/lecturer/trainer speaks. Probably a good reason for that!)
I’m not exagerating here. This is the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. Well done.
6 years in photography, no regrets just getting to fully understand tone curves. thank you
This was great ! Thank you .
Thank you. More Curve vs Grading
Shift clicking on the point curve to restrain control to up and down movement is already worth the price of admission. Smashed (to use that silly Gen Z term for "clicked") the Like button after you showed us that. Thanks Pye!
Great instruction!
Amazing, all that's left is to try.
Pye my man, this is amazing! I learn something ew every time you and Adorama drop a video. You guys are awesome. Thank you.
Glad you are enjoying!
fantastic video, thanks so much!
Loved it!
Jesus Christ! this is literally the best video on Tone Curve.
Much obliged, kind sir 😭🙌
Finally a clear explanation. So powerful.
I’m glad I found this video
Incredible video.
This is hands down the best tone tutorial out there! Thank you so much! Things make sense now!
Maravilloso!, gracias!
I love you Mr. Pye. From Nigeria🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
So I've paid for online tuition for Lightroom and Photoshop and it was only when I watched this video right here that I actually understood it. This is legit a fantastic overview.
Great explanation
Great Video! Helps a lot!
Great video, thanks.
Just amazing
Thank you for the information
Awesome, thanks!
Many people might know the subject, but only a few can teach like you can. This was by far the most clear tutorial on RGB tone curves. Also, your voice is so soothing and easy to follow! Where can I learn more on this topic and other layers/aspects of Lightroom from you? Also, thank you!! 😊
this was a fantastic video. wow
Great inputs!
U guys r so detailed..
Explain everything in details, at length.... With a soothing background music.
Education was never so stylish.
👍👍👍👍
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Haha, appreciate it!
Thank you for such a comprehensive explanation.
Thank you for creating such an excellent valuable content. Big thanks and cheers 🥂 from India. We learn a lot from your channel
Glad to have you here!
🤯 Yes. YES YES YES! What I love so much about this is the parametric curve explanation AND ALSO the comment about how you build your presets. I want more of this! I’m not into selling presets but I make my own to improve/quicken my workflow. Paving my own preset path since there isn’t much out there for sports. (Also, i spend all my money on gear 😅)
So good,thanks 🍀
So good to have every single explanation in one video. Thanks
talented teacher
Appreciate the video!
This was such a great video. I have been playing with these curves, but I only end up messing up my photo which makes me go back to the sliders. Thank you for this video.
Been looking for years for Tone Curve tutorials - Think I've found the One and Only! Thanks a million - this was great stuff to watch!
Glad you enjoyed!
What you made with this tutorial is to throw the fear out of me to use the tonal curves. Thank you very much. And your vocal tone surprisingly complemented the tonality of this tutorial 🙂. Subscribed and will check out all other videos in your channel now. Stay blessed!
Very good, thank you!
Fantastic video
Pye, that is an excellent overview. I had to discover these things myself in the past, too. As to the "Tone Curve", you missed a point that, IMO, is very important.
The left-bottom start point of the Tone Curve and the top-right end of the Tone Curve mark the "Black Point" and "White Point" IN YOUR OPINION in your photo.
These points can be shifted horizontally. The shot you use in this lesson, has a little happening in about 40% of the X-axis in the Tone Curve diagram (the histogram under the line you manipulate). Imagine you shift the White Point horizontally-left to the 60% X-axis point (so it stays at the top), then you now have told LR that it can treat that X-axis point as 255 White. As a consequence, with 0% X-axis being the Black Point, you now distribute the 0..255 reach over the 60% X-axis domain. This changes your photo's representation in another way than messing with sliders of exposure/zones and contrast.
In camera - I have shot metering "expose for highlights" recently, and there may be a tiny bright highlight spot in the subject driving exposure, that IMO does not need any detail at all, and I have no or almost no histogram for the top 40% X-axis - this White Point approach totally pulls such shots up from dark and moody. (Wait, but aren't you afraid to lose shadow detail? Haha, only if I shot the same camera brand as Pye. But seriously, you could. you have to build an understanding - experience - of circumstances when metering for the highlights plays against you.)
Back in LR. You can still apply the Y-axis shifts to the Black Point and White Point as per your demonstration too, of course.
Note you can "reverse" the image processing in LR. Take a scan of a negative, shift the Black Point from 0,0 to 0,100% and the White Point from 100%,100% to 100%,0 and 'bam' you have your positive and the sliders all avail still (but they may need to be mirrored in your thinking).
Compared with Capture One, Lightroom does the Black & White Points in the Tone Curve. C1 allows this and the mid grey point to be applied in the Histogram - where it should be, IMO. (I don't own C1.)
You are totally right. Quite advanced, but I did miss this piece! Great catch.
@@BornUncreative - Let's call this reciprocity instead of a catch. If software developers had been great communicators they had not chosen a programming language with a display and keyboard as dominant interface in their careers. You and I suffer the consequences.
Very clear tutorial. Thanks. Greetings from Mexico City.
One of the best video on tone curves
Awesome!
I didn’t know 50% of all that was taught.
Thank you!
after 7 years of using lightroom I finally get the tone curve...thank you
Did I like this video...? Oh yes I did 👍
Thank you
Amazing amazing stuffs
Pye's the man
That's the best video about tone curve so far I have watched! Thank you :)
Nicely done Pye I like how you broke it down to Contrast and Exposure. That helps remove the aura of complexity with this tool. Still working on how to 'tweak' the image using the Parametric curve. Not sure if I'm a fan of the softening style. I think for me I need to see more side by sides to compare
This is by far the best tutorial on tone curves!
Appreciate it!
Simply stunning Pye as usual!
hey Pye, you did a wonderful job with this tutorial. very clear and concise.
thank you very much
Pye,
It seems like you're advocating using the tone curves FIRST and then sliders to make more subtle adjustments. I thought this video was awesome and make sense, but I am curious because most photographers I've seen suggest using the sliders to make corrections BEFORE you use the tone curve to do any color adjustments.
I'd really love if you could elaborate on this workflow?
This is an excellent explanation of the tone curve!
ACR: this deep exploration of the adjustments shows the potential of this program if only users knew the ‘secret sauce’.
First time someone made it easy. Thanks!!!
Thank you for this video. I was given up on Tone Curve for a while and didn't bother to play around it.
Best video on the tone curve I've seen. What is the best way to learn Lightroom for someone just starting out using it? It seem like there is so much to the program.
This was a revelation, Pye, and you explained it very well. Thank you.
I love this! It helps me understand it completely now! Thank you!
good explaination, for once i have a clue in these stuff
Thank you ❤❤❤
very usefull thanks
Beautiful
Great video! One of the best I've ever watched on LR Curves. That said I found the background music to be very annoying...didn't add anything just got in the way.
This is the best explanation of tone curve ever! Thank you for sharing your expertise.
