    Color matching in Adobe Lightroom just got much easier thanks to the Reference View function. Last time we talked about matching the color grade of any image to one of your own, but we did that in Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop provides more tools and makes it somewhat easier to calculate an edit. But we can still do this in Lightroom or even Capture One with the Curves Adjustment tool. If we understand what it is we are seeing in terms of color, then we can make the necessary adjustments. I would argue that this is a much more useful skill than just mathmatically copying - your editing skills will improve as well as the quality of your photographs.

    In OS X, under Applications and then Utilities, you have the digital color meter which allows you to measure the colour of anything on your display regardless of your editing software.

    I just wanna say thanks for the video. I started off years ago as a penciler, inker & then moved over to be a colourist for a small comic book company. I wasn’t very good. I like retina burning colours (to this day), & I got that from growing up in Central & South America, where many of the indigenous clothing is made from bright bright colours. Learning to see and discern colours are two very different things, and it is important to be able to discern good colour pallets & combinations, and this technique here is a great way to start learning colour theory. I look forward to more of your videos. Thanks again!

    This is the first of your videos I’ve come upon, and just as I’m switching to using Lightroom AND trying to learn more about color grading. This is one of those rare RUclips videos that caused an immediate breakthrough for me. So rare and so appreciated, thank you!

  • @jwhclark

    Amazing, Ted! Thanks so much for this lesson, especially the “colour picker” trick in Lightroom and clear explanation of how to use the Tone Curve to achieve colour matching. Brilliant!

  • @tclin2938
    @tclin2938 5 лет назад

    THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, Ted. I've been using these curves for quite some time and always wanted to tell people how powerful this tool is. Your video not only introduced, in a very understandable manner, how curves work; I also find myself learning new things about it.

  • @alponca5943
    @alponca5943 5 лет назад +2

    This is fantastic! Most likely many of us will take this concept or idea and run with it as it seems that the possibilities are endless. Like with many things in the arts its important to learn the basics before experimenting. Thanks Mr. Ted Forbes for all these great videos and your passion for Photography!

    Ted - this is the best tutorial I have run across on using the separate RGB channels in the Tone Curve panel in Lightroom, or in Photoshop for that matter. Excellent work and thank you so much.

    Great video! I've been playing with color tone curves a good bit lately but that color picker trick will save me soooo much time. Thanks!
    I've started saving off my favorite sets of curves as custom curves. That way I can add them separate from any preset or other adjustments; it's like being able to swap what kind of film you used in a camera independent of your other edits!

  • @thomaszamolo
    @thomaszamolo 5 лет назад +1

    fantastic explanation video ,i was looking so long for this tutorial specific for lightroom .thank you so much.the shortcut for the color picker to find the shadows and highlights blew my mind ,using lightroom for so long and you are the first person to mention this ,game-changer !!!!

  • @grahamsmith7938
    @grahamsmith7938 5 лет назад +4

    In Capture One, you could probably put both images up side by side, and then add RGB read out labels to the highlights, mid-tones and shadows of both images and then adjust the levels or curves of the new image until the numbers match.

    After watching them I've pulled out all my old stuff shot on Fuji c200 and got a pretty close profile. Very happy with this and I'll be using this for a project I'm working on. Thanks for the great content

    Every day is a school day, this is excellent knowledge to pass on, I've been trying to figure this out on my own without success but has now opened up a new level in my editing process to get the look and feel in my images that I've been after,so thankyou very much for sharing.

    I learned so much in this 13 minute video. The fact that my Tone Curve was locked and I needed to unlock it has escaped me for a year. Thanks for.not assuming we all know even the most simplistic things or things others may find simple.

  • @jusren

    Such an amazing and helpul video! You've given me more confidence to dabble with the tone curve and really allowed me to indulge in my curiosity to replicate colour grading from movies (mostly Wes Anderson) and I'm somehow coming across cool film/ retro emulations too! Thank you so much for sharing this video and your knowledge!

  • @frigeratorguyfpv8333
    @frigeratorguyfpv8333 3 года назад

    FANTASTIC!!! I was looking to color match a couple images for a posting. What I got was sooo much more. Now I want to spend the rest of my day color matching some of my own photos to stills from epically graded movies. Good by productivity for today!

  • @86Timewarp

    This is also a fantastic way to make color presets for Lightroom! I was using the HSL and color sliders to get film profiles from some images I found, but this seems way more intuitive. Thanks for another great video Ted!

    • @robertopino2876
      @robertopino2876 3 года назад +1

      Yeah it took me a sec to get it too. He forgot to show where he was clicking but you need to select a gradient tool, up where apear the options to crop, brush, etc. you can choose the radial or linear (it doesn’t matter) after selecting it you will see the color option and from there like he said just hold alt/option and click and drag from inside the color box to the area you want to sample. Hope this helps.
