    I've used curves for years...but I never noticed the command/control + shift + click to set markers on the color channels before. Great, thank you!

    This is the first time I understand how curves really work. Until now I’ve dragging up and down trying to get some cool coloring effects but now I understand when and how to use them. Thank you so much. That was brilliant and clearly explained mister.

    I have played around with curves in the past, but really didn't have a clue what they were capable of. Pretty sure I can get a handle on them now with this tutorial. Thanks Colin.

    I have watched this lesson many times, in fact I open it every time I have a difficult file to process and each time I pick up yet another nuance. It has become the very core of my Photoshop processing.

    I've just done the basic contrast sliders in Photoshop so curves has opened up a whole new world for me. Really it comes down to playing around (a lot) with curves on different photos and seeing what you like. Also it's important to be able to look at a photo and get an idea of what you want to bring out of it or what you want to do to it. I've taken photos already and used curves/contrast to really darken everything except the side of a person's face and use that for a website look and feel. Your tutorial has caused me to go back and realize that I could pop out more facial features and still keep the darkened feeling of the image. Thank you for doing this video.

  • @MerlynMacka

    Thanks for these tutorials, I use Photoshop and Lightroom for Property photography as well as astrophotography. I watch other people's workflows and try to use them but they usually don't take the time to explain the rationale behind their actions. Your tutorials enable me to fully understand and optimize the actions for my specific purposes. I am going to go through all your stuff I can find!

I used levels a lot in my processing, but as I learn more and more about curves and it's endless possibilities it is quickly becoming my go to.

    I was previously using the curves (hit & trial) not knowing the details how to use them exactly. Command/control+shift+click and adjusting contrast & color in separate layers are very useful which i learned from this video.
