Nigel, you are such a generous photography educator. This video provides an incredible amount of detail, so well explained. I will be learning from this video for months. It supplements your masterclass tutorials really well. RUclips videos about photography "don't get better than this!!!!"
Good to have you back!
Thanks for sharing never understood how the calibration tool worked very powerful thanks agin
Thanks so much. This is finally breaking down the wall in my brain that has a hard time understanding color. And I appreciate the free webinar too. You do so much for the photography community worldwide. Thanks from Michigan, US.
This was incredible and explained so well. You are so appreciated for your talent, hard work, and unselfish sharing of your amazing secrets.
Fantastic to see you, Nigel, and that you are getting better!
Excellent tips!! Thank you
Really interesting, thanks. Also, good to see you up and about.
Thanks Nigel! Never knew about that Adobe Color site!
Thanks, Nigel! Very clear and helpful.
Thanks! Great LR tutorial !
It's fantastic to see You again, Nigel! :) Such a great content, thank you very much!
So we’ll done and explained…thank you for such a thorough explanation…
This is probably one of your best videos for improving your photos consistently! People are missing out as it's not one of your top viewed ones!
Alot of people seem to have problems with composition I see online and don't talk as much about balance with in colour's in landscape photography. This has been the longest thing for me to get right and still don't! Hopefully now with this new information I will get over that hurdle! Thanks so much 🙏
From what I understand (and have experienced) whether in Lightroom or any other image editor, using white balance for artistic purposes is risky. Not that you recommended it, but your IG question revealed apparently many folks do use it that way. IMO white balance should be adjusted to provide a color-temperature-appropriate base from which to start. In other words, a level playing field. Once done, other tools can be used for artistic purposes. In my experience, there are too many unintended side effects when using white balance as a creative tool. It's global and will affect colors often far away from what's intended.
Great video!
TX Nigel. Once again, great job presenting concepts with insight and clarity. You are tops!
So wonderful to see a vid again, thank you for the instructions and insights today!
Nigel, thanks for this eye-opener. I always struggle with the greens and greenish colors. The theory of occurence dependency in sunlights and shadows was clear to me but the use of right (!) processing steps in the tool was very helpfull to manage in future. Also thanks for the hint and link to the color page at Adobe.
A true masterclass. Very useful. Thanks as always. Hope you are feeling better.
Informative as always Nigel. Trust your not overdoing things?
The Color.Adobe is an interesting site, thanks for sharing it.
Stay safe 🇦🇺
This is a great tutorial. Your channel is the best Nigel. Thanks as usual.
One of the best videos I ever seen about this topic! Tks, Nigel! 🙏🏻
I suggest another video to explain the concepts that make a picture, the science of colors and light, like what is hue, saturation, brightness, contrast, for example.
Another excellent video Nigel, not that there was any doubt or surprise. Your teaching style makes potentially intimidating topics, such as color, so easy to follow and comprehend. Thank you for the inspiration to try some new techniques on my images and further refine my style. Continued prayers for the swift arrival of full recovery from your surgeries.
Thank you for this.
Great Video and one of the best explanations on how the colour calibration works, I've heard so far.
What a fantastic video and explanation Thankyou Nigel!
Nice video, thank you.
Great video Nigel! I already ordered my calendar when you posted it on Facebook. I'm going to sign up for the composition webinar for sure.
Best video I've watched on colour! and I've watched hundreds! I hope you make more content like this in the future. But also looking forward to you being up and about. Hope your back feels better soon!
Hugely helpful - thanks very much, Nigel.
Really appreciate your detailed explanations on this topic, it's an area I struggle with. I can't wait to dig in and see what I can do with the new knowledge. Cheers Nigel!
Thanks Great value. Didn‘t see it this way. 👍😊
Superb, Nigel. Clearly presented and hugely helpful. The Adobe took was an eye-opener! Thank you so much for everything that you do for the photography community.
Really helpful - encourages me to explore a potential I haven’t appreciated before.
Fantastic & informative video as always Nigel, the adobe tip is awesome - thanks so much! So glad to see you out and about, all be it in your garden, but wishing you a continued recovery.
Nigel, Thank you for this video. I now have a much better understanding of the different color corrections available in Lightroom, why and how to use them. A very informative video.
Phew! what a lot of good information and thank you very much. Also glad to see your continuing to recover.
This is excellent, clear and to the point. Thank you so much.
Wow, what a really interesting and informative video on colour science. I will certainly need to watch this a few times to get my hear around it totally, but thanks so much.
This video is great! I rarely listened to a photography video as carefully as this time.
Thanks a lot! Helps to create my own style in post-processing...
Very well explained. Thank you!
really liked this. Thank you - I really found this helpful as to what the role of the different sliders are and how they impact on the image.
Very informative, this video will be revisited several times. Thanks for sharing. ☺️🙏🏿
My sundays are fulfilled again thanks to your videos! Such a great video about colours and style. And thanks for the Adobe website tip. I didn't know it was existing and I think it's gonna be very useful to me :)
Many thanks for this video Nigel as for me you have clarified the mystery of HSL, Color Grading and Calibration, where, when and how to use them. I have struggled in the past as to how and when to use the different colour tools in Lightroom and how they work for different images. Hopefully I will not be able to edit colours in my images in a more realistic way.
Found this really useful. Thanks.
A very helpful video on a topic I struggle with because of my colorblindness. This video took away some of the fear I have. Thanks!
A big thanks for this. I have been getting stuck, in particular with the greens. This has been a great help.
I always enjoy seeing you wearing a Giants hat. Hi from San Francisco! We missed you, btw. Thanks for another informative and very useful tutorial!
This is a great tutorial, I wasn't aware of the colour wheel feature in Adobe! I use the WB as a replacement for old skool warm up filters, though it's not great. I use the calibration sliders a lot, they are much more subtle than the HSL. I agree that green foliage on a sunny day using the Adobe Landscape profile are generally a horrible colour! I've also learnt how to use colourmask, that's a game changer for me!
Helpful, mate, thanks!
At 17:39 you made me pause the video and look at my task bar to see what had been updated!
Great video - it's filed in my list of reference videos.
Colours, colour balance and colour memory is a difficult subject for me
I think I have the image edited to my liking, go back a couple of days later and the image is not what I remember or desire.
The Adobe link will be a great help and a learning tool - thank you as always.
brilliant video, I wish I knew what you know. It seems so easy to you.
Nigel, Great to see you again this week! Missed you over the past few months…. Great discussion this morning, very helpful. I struggle with color and it is something I want to learn more about. This was a great introduction. Any other videos or resources you can recommend? Maybe, you could do. Mini master class on color yourself??? Just a thought…. Anywise, thanks so much for sharing your talent once again and looking forward to seeing you next week! Take care and keep snapping!
Will do!
awesome content¡
Excellent vid.
Not a fan of over-saturation, which is all over social media... but those shots seem to get a lot of likes. I can't tell you the number of times I've said to an image, "there's no way that sky is natural". That said I can appreciate when photography merges into Art. To each his own. I really like your image @13:40, just wow!
Question for you Nigel, which of the methods do you suggest is best to rely on for us using Lightroom Mobile only and don't have the option to use the Color Calibration as it is not available on LR mobile for some reason
Thanks for showing some of your editing process... Very helpful... I have a question on the process: what's the difference between the "blue saturation in calibration" you do later in the video and the "blue saturation slider in hsl" you talked about earlier?
I'll take a stab at that. Disclaimer: I have not watched the whole video yet. Calibration affects every pixel in the image. A pixel is made up of the 3 RGB values. If you change the blue slider in calibration, you affect the blue levels of each pixel in the image. You are basically "calibrating" what a pixel's base values are. If you change the blue values in HSL, you are affecting the hue, saturation or luminance of what you perceive as blue. Some people use calibration to set the base colors coming out of a particular model of camera to suit their taste and use it on all images.
Carlsberg don’t do photo editing tutorials, but if they did……………… this would be it!!!
The most interesting and informative editing video I’ve ever watched. Thanks Nigel, great video this week, as always. Some priceless info 🤩
Thanks Andrew
Hi Nigel, I am stumped a bit. So I’ve had a couple waterfalls that are down in a bowl basically. Towards end of day so sun is down and waterfall is turning out great except on each side where there is no water just foliage and rocks where it is shaded, basically all day sides are in the shade. The falls itself is tack sharp but the shaded sides are not, they are soft. Even when exposing to the right and bringing up the shadows in post. What would be my best option to help this in camera?
Canon 5DSr / EF 16-35 f/4 IS USM.
Best of luck with the back healing up.
Finally, a video with correct spelling of colour 😂
Hello. Tell me if there is a difference in the resulting color between Nikon Z62, Z61 and Nikon Z72, Z61? Thank you
No
"Nikon has the best colour"!? You could open a can of worms with that statement buddy 😏😁 Lots of different opinions on that one, Canon lovers will definitely be on your case 😂 Apart from that, a great informative video, thanks.
Ha ha - the point was the colour can be changed with the tools in Lightroom. You can mimic any camera colour
Nikon is the nicest colour…😂🍻
This is the most important video I've ever watched...about 10 times now....Thank you.
Nikon has the best color/s?? wrong ( Canon will not ever be beat by anything canon sorry bud..
Aahh missed those Sunday vids :) glad to have you back Nigel hope that you are getting well :)
Insightful for sure...color grading hurts my brain sometimes, lol. Thanks Nigel, good to see you up and about! :)
Really good to see your recovery is well underway and that Sunday mornings are ND and coffee again. Thanks for those tips in the video - really gives ideas on personal editing style.
First, it’s so good to see you outside Nigel! Outstanding tutorial on color, I often use calibration but more often at the end to add pop to my images, I’ll try using it at the earlier in the edit process now. Thanks Nigel!
Hi Nigel! Once again a great video. Even more so this time round. I had some images where the colours where a bit challenging to edit. This advice will definitely be of great help. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you 🙏🏻
Very informative. Thank you! A follow-up with more examples of why you are doing the colour changes would help me. I understand the "how" better now but struggle with the "why and the when". I recognize your view of a photo is different from mine but I need a starting point. Stay healthy!!!!!!
Nigel, this was very helpful in trying to understand Lightroom. I'm new to Lightroom in 2022 and I'm watching as many video's as I can to help understand how to make great pictures. I have found your video's the most useful. Thank You!
Thanks. Very informative! Couldn’t always see you adjustment (slider), but I’ll got back again to look more closely!
Thanks for the video! I'm interesting in the webinar, but the link does not work for me.
Superb video, thanks. I am just starting out with a Nikon D5600 and Lightroom so your videos are really helping me. Keep up the great work!
Excellent. I could use something for our more advanced photographers. Thanks, will share ;)
Hi Nigel. Great video. Thanks. Where did you get your colour wheel image please?
Nigel, if I save my color pencil drawings as a scanned pic, can I then use Lightroom to enhance the pencil work already drawn?
Great info! Just started messing with color grading and this helps massively. Thank you.
Awesome demonstration, thank you for sharing your insights, it will help me on my own color explorations! 👍
Mind blown 🤯
Thanks for the simplistic explanation. Hope the recovery is going well. Take it easy!
I do hope you post one of your webinars online for your USA followers ;-) 6am and 10:30am are tough on week days.
Fantastic Nigel. That's packed with a lot of information that's going to be a real help with editing. I struggle a lot with getting colours to look right particularly the greens. More so when printing. Brilliant explanation of how colours work with each other. It's driven home everything I watched in the past and not really understood. The Adobe tool is going to be very useful. Thank you very much for sharing.
Gratulation for image on 13.30. I have in mind to to a trip to the coma sea in europe which could be a similar place to be to do an image. warm greetings Karl
ur videos are long, but A DEFINITIVE TUTORIAL.
