Do you apply an S-curve to all your photos, or do you edit each photo differently?
Depends on which one is going to be what. For artistic work or anything large, I edit in lightroom first then edit the rest in photoshop. For light work such as cooperate headshots, I just keep it simple.
I use presets for quick reference n then fine tune the settings/ S curves as per the photo requirements.
👍🙏
I had heard people say to apply an S-curve but I rarely found it to give me the results I wanted. THIS technique is really powerful, I can't wait to use it--thanks!
@@asahi.w I like to call those artistic photos the "HERO" shots. It's those dope 5-star photos that deserve that extra bit of bang!
@@PhilosophyProf14 Agreed. I keep finding new ways to make adjustments all the time!
This was the most helpful tone curve tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful!
Dito!
I've been trying to figure out how to get this effect for ages, I'm a little bit mind blown at how simple and straightforward it is.
totally agree
Agreed!
As a hobbyist, I haven't shot much over the years as I love shooting, but I loathe editing. I know how I want the image to look, but I didn't know how to get there. This just popped up in my algorithm, and is the single best lightroom video I've ever seen. Thank you so much! You're a great teacher!
3:29 No, you didn't just create contrast in the specific area on the path; you affected every pixel on the photo with the same value as the one you chose. For example, the shaded areas throughout the grass and on your jacket turned much darker, so creating more contrast in the whole of the lower portion of the image.
I was about to comment the same, and am very sorprise to watch a big photographer youtuber to not understand this, your not selecting a specific portion of the photo, your selecting the all that light range, thats why in the last photo you can see the building and portion of the street turning red, i feel good to know this by my selft, i might open a youtube channel 😅
You this: 🤓☝️
He didn't say specific area. He said specific portion. Meaning portion of the tone curve / histogram.
@@clearstoryimaging he said portion yes ... but from the entire commentary he was specifically referring to the area in from of him he wanted to darken.... hence I have to disagree with your interpretation...
Absolutely right!
I love the idea of creating anchor points before manipulating the curve -- I'm gonna incorporate that. Typically, I start by dragging the contrast slider way down somewhere between -35 and -90 depending on the subject to "open up" the photo, then I use the curve to dial in my desired density.
Me too, this seems a simpler method
Is it doable in photoshop? I am rookie postproductioner while master renderer, believe it or not. xD
So I really need to imprpve ArchViz exterior remders of my projects. Many thanks in advance!
That was actually super helpful! I use the tone curve a lot, and use the clic on photo and drag function a lot, but never thought about using it to pin down certain colours! Going to apply that right now!
Its a great way to think about it!
Thanks so much for this tutorial, Anthony. I've been using Photoshop for quite a few years but hadn't really grasped how to use curve. Now you've made them make sense. And the way you explain it makes it seem so simple.
You‘re not selecting a certain portion or area of your image (e.g. the sky) but just certain tonal values which might be anywhere in the image (I mean, this does not work like masking). Also, these pickers work very precisely and even neighboring tonal values might be quite different already. Not sure if selective editing would be the better choice...
That's why the concrete on the photo also turned red. Thanks for the explanation.
You're not wrong, but I think if you wanted the sky to be brighter or darker, then use a mask. Otherwise, bringing up the reds in the concrete added to the red vibe of the image, in my opinion. Looked good
Brilliant explanation of the dreaded Tone Curve. In 8 minutes you have provided me with more knowledge about it than I've gained over last few years. I've Liked and now will be subscribing.
I've seen so many videos praising the s curve and I've also seen people using the handle to change the colors, but I've never realized that you could actually use it to fix certain points in your curve! Genius!
ABSOLUTELY THE SIMPLEST, MOST DIRECT EXPLANATION OF TONE CURVE I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!! This may prove very useful for me... Many thanks!!!!!
the best video on tone curve in youtube so far, many thanks for your work anthony - it is really helpful what you are sharing
Woah! This is priceless! I didn’t knew you could choose an specific point in the photo for the tone curve! Loved this video
I’ve watched hundreds of photography videos and this has to be one of the greatest game changers I’ve learned for LR,.
Thank you Anthony!!!
You nailed it, Anthony. You nailed it 🙌
I’ve never seen Lightroom’s tone curve explained this way and now I understand more how I should use the controls. Thank you
In years of photography no one has explained the tone curve better! Thank you
OH MY GOD, I edit in LR for 2,5 years now and I GASPED seeing you isolating the tones and only editing the contrast beneath you in the path of the field! THIS IS PURE POTENTIAL, Im going to use it for ever! Thank you!
Keep in mind, if you have these same grey tones in other areas of your photo it will effect them too!
This is the best tutorial I’ve watched on the tone curve. Incredibly useful
Very well explained Anthony, stumbled on your vids but grateful for it. Thanks!
I needed this in my life, that locking pin tip is brilliant. 😍
These is the best explanation of how to use the tone curve I’ve ever seen.
This is by far one of the most helpful videos i've seen. Thanks man!
Love your teaching, simple yet detailed 👌
I love using the S curve because it adds a bit more drama to the photo but still found this video very helpful with the adjustment of colors! Sometimes the tones are a bit off and I believe that this could be very helpful in fixing that 😄
Great and as always, to the point in a great positive manner!
You blown my mind! Thanks for this!
THANK YOU!!! I've been using lightroom for about 6 years and you explained this so well so I actually now feel like I understand it better
As a summary of what I have seen in your video, I would say that your Italian artistic heritage leads your observation in the image editing, which is undoubtedly very valuable, however, my congratulations go to the great clarity with which you express the concepts that guide this edition.
that was amaaazing tutorial straightforward and super informative ! thanks man !
FAN-tastic! Always wondered how to anchor points in the line so as not to influence tones I'm already happy with. Much appreciate the simple and clear explanation. Your overview/explanation and other examples are most helpful as well. Subscribed!
Exactly! It's such an intuitive way to think about it! Add more points to lock in more tones!
Never thought I’d learn something new about the tiny curve until now. Thanks!
Best tone curve tutorial ever ever ever 🙌🏼😍
I loved the tip of fixing points and adjusting the others. Very good! Congratulations!
Very nice tips! Short and very helpful video! Thanks!
Wow! This was super well done. Thank you!
Thanks man!!!!!! Keep up the good work man💪🏻👍🏻
This was very interesting! I only ever used the S-Curve, but now I can get a lot more creative with it :)
I have been using tone curves for years, but I didn’t know about this method of doing so.
This was a great tutorial. Thank you!
This is by far the best tone curve explanation out there
wonderful video. the tips about anchor point is really the best part. thanks a lot...
Nice! And the last thing to add: If you do to the highlights, what you did to the shadows in that morning picture, you can create that "muted colors retro look" that was so in the last 5-10 years.
Excellent video. Thank you for posting it, Anthony.
Interesting approach! Thanks for this video!
Ok man you nailed it! Awesome tip!
Very good... watched a few videos on the Tone Curve. However, this video took it to the next step. Thank you.
