🤯 Mind officially blown! For me, this improved my editing as adding to an image is easier than removing. Actually feels more natural. Awesome Video, Mark!
That's utterly brilliant! I am going back over loads of my old photos and having another go - it is totally changing the vibe! This has seriously changed how I am going about processing
Love this! I often shoot in a dark venue with crazy stage lighting. This will help with odd colors by taking control of what color I want where. Can't wait to try it!
what i loved about you, that you don't "sell presets" but you learn people very useful skills. thanks man... you are Amazing.
Thanks for doing this. I just did a couple of shoots, one for a band and the other for a solo artist. Everyone was looking for a heavy industrial look. I have been using a lot of different, traditional techniques but I’m excited to try some of the ideas you presented here.
Wow, that’s a great tip. It makes a lot of sense and works so well. I’d been working from the other direction, toning down from full color. From now on I’ll be doing a 180 and toning up from B&W. 😎👍
This has honestly revolutionised my editing. Being colourblind makes things super hard and this simplifies completely - thank you!
This is brilliant! When I started off learning lightroom I was taught to use edit exposure first, in BW to avoid interference and bias of colours, and do edit colours seperately afterwards. There's a lot I like with this process BUT I always felt overwhelmed by the drama the colors caused when going back to colour. Using the technique you present in this video totally removes that and allows you to add in the colors and refine them at the same time.
Much appreciated Mark, will be using this moving forward!
Great comment
love seeing these type of videos, i like knowing why you make each changes. Love hearing the thought process. Please do more.
Really good workflow, love your style of teaching, heading to NYC in May and will be doing more B&W shooting and also trying to mix things up a bit using the methods you show here.
One of the best tutorials ever! Thanks man for amazing inspiration in all your videos 🔥
Love you man for this. This gave me a proper workflow for editing my photos. I had a serious problem with having unwanted colours in my photos. This works out so well for me.❤️❤️
Hi Mark, as in my music production, subtracting to bring out other elements as opposed to just adding and adding to try and achieve results is so important and delivers better results.
I had to go through my watch history and find this video to tell you the following.
Removing the saturation from each channel and then adding it is the best way to color correct and grade.
Now it is part of my workflow and I don't think it is ever gonna go away.
Seriously, I feel very lucky and grateful to have watched this video.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING. I really, really appreciated.
I mean, I used to change the saturation for each channel starting from 50 and then changing the lightining and hue of each channel.
But I have never tought to start from 0.
This is quite interesting, I can't wait to try this type of color editing. Thanks for sharing your instructions!
Wow! Thank you for the technique!!! Love the flow process, and applying them was soo easy and speeded up my color grading!
We love you mark, i learnt so much in your videos i cant express it enough, your amazing, love these colour grade tutorials, hope you can do more of these they have helped me alot
I just spent the last hour editing three similar images while watching your easy to follow process and was very excited with the results. cheers
Good tutorial. This is similar to graphic design principles, always design the artwork in black and white first so you have a strong base. Cheers, Mark :) - Brett
Exactly, that is what I wanted to say.
I've been doing photography for 2 months and all I see is how similar the principles are to Graphic Design.
@@swancoffeehouse5983 perhaps is the other way around?... no "chicken or egg" in this case 😉
@@paulora3348 Not for me. I learnt Graphic Design before Photography.
@@swancoffeehouse5983 and, in fact, photography learned from the masters and their paintings and sculptures 😊🙏
Thank you for that! This is a great technique! Happy you are there to make us all better!
Really love this Mark, thanks for sharing. It gives a great look to the images. Loved the Brighton video as well, really inspirational.
Bloody brilliant mate! You have changed the way I look at photos and edit them, thank you!
Wow! Thanks for an awesome tutorial. I struggle with the artistic side of editing but you've just opened my eyes to a whole new world.
absolutely amazing tutorial! thanks for teaching this technique!
This actually makes me excited! I've never thought about using the gray scale to color-correct on my photographs. Can't wait to try it out!
Interesting to balance out the light first then introduce the color back in with greater control. Tried it and will definitely keep this in my toolbox. Great video!
Absolutely loved this! Really well said and put together 🙌☺️🙏
Such incredible colour editing technique, wonderful, I love it
Surprising ! I always retouch my future B&W images in colour first before turning them to B&W but never thought about doing the reverse !! Thanks for sharing.
This was actually a super good tip! It was really interesting to see your thought process. I am definitely using this workflow from now on! Subbed!
Most photosophical video I’ve watched lately! Thanks for sharing, I’m definitely gonna try this!
For me this opens a completely different way to work with my images, but by now it makes sense totally. I'm eager to try it. Thanks for sharing.
A game changing tutorial ! Thank you so much 🙏🏽
I have started to try this and it has completely changed the final look of my photos in an amazing way.
Great tutorial, just re-edited one of my images and it really helped me to remove a glare of blue light that was distracting the eye away from the subject.
🤯🤯🤯 this is amazing. Definitely going to try this!

Automatic subscribed. This tutorial is amazing 🤩 thank you so much

Awesome way to edit! You're one of my heroes on RUclips, Mark :D
Just subscribed. I recently used this technique on a log cabin that had patches of colour around it. Love the way you processed these.
Can't wait to try this!
The old village is lovely, hope you had a great time.
So good, your videos are the best!
Awesome method can't wait to try it! Thank you for the video.
I love the tutorial. This is a great approach I’m going to use to edit my photos
This is by far the best trick I've seen for colour grading... thanks Mark
One of my favorite colorists worked this way. Jais Thierry Lamaire colored some of the most iconic Music Videos and Commercials. He would switch back and forth between black and white and color during the session. The looks he achieved on skintone and contrast were amazing.
This is creativity. Your techniques are unique and different from others. I'm imagining how my images will be different and better than before even before I have started trying it.
Such a helpful video! Thank you so much and your photos are amazingg
This technic of editing is magic. Thank You Mark for this tutorial. I will do my best with this technic.
This is mind blowing !
This was a brilliant video. I’m definitely going to try this, especially as I have near identical images from my previous trips to New York. Thank you, Mark
that's insane. I will immediately try out those techniques. Thanks for tutorial!!
Had to try it before the video even ended. Was a game changer. I've always felt like something is missing in my pictures and it was this for suremb. Thanks!!

i loved it actually and certianly will try it on my workflow , thank you so much
Wow.. what a different way to look at an edit. Really enjoyed this tutorial.🔥📸🎥✊️
This is a crazy idea. Thanks for sharing!
Similar concept to sound production, mixing in mono first,then creating the stereo spread. Kinda genuis,which explains why it never occured to me,so thanks!
Clear, concise and to the point !!! Bravo…
I hope I never experience a better approach to this creative process. You Are Great.
Thanks.
Thank you for your amazing tutorial.
perfect teaching style... love it
I just understand everything so much better when you discuss and explain it
Fantastic Video. Loving your work. 👌❤️
This process is the Best !
It's really a great job. I love it 👏
Mark, this was something of an eye-opener.
Brings me back to when the TV was analogue. How did one adjust that to get the best image quality?
Exactly the same procedure! Removed all the colors, created a grey tone image (is it really correct to call it black and white? it has a log of gray tones in it) and subsequently added colors back into the image. No doubt about that it gave you the best picture... Same thing, same result. My conclusion when I tried this once: Why didn't I think of this before!
Big applaud 👏👏 to you Mark McGee, thanks a LOT!
Amazing! Thank you for the great tips! Going to give this a try
