Hey Blake I love this technique for identifying and neutralizing over-saturation. It struck me as I was trying it out, however, that it may have a potentially more powerful application in 'enhancing' saturation selectively but with more precision than just throwing in Hue/Sat layer and eyeballing it. By using the inverted adjustment layer in colour mode to first neutralize over saturation, you can then use it to increase a targeted colour until it's 'just' pushing into oversaturation (or more if you want). I've already tried it a couple of times and I think it could be a real tool for colour special effects.
Fascinating info, you have a great understanding of colour and the use of photoshop especially. I would not have thought of using an inverse layer like that. Thank you for sharing some very practical and useful insights Blake.
Blake, I was playing around with one of my images with Invert adj layer set to color and reduced to 50% opacity to check for over-saturation in one of my images. I added a hue/sat adj layer on top of that and increased the global saturation of master channel to about +75-80 within the settings for the hue/sat adj layer settings-NO change to the apparent black and white apperaing image. When I went back to the Invert adj layer and lowered the opacity BELOW 50% something interesting happens, the saturation starts to come back, and apparently a little sharper or a lil added clarity to it. Somewhere about 43-38%opacity, depending on your image. If some colors appear to saturated goto the different color channels in the hue/sat adj layer and modify them. So background image layer>Invert adj layer set to Color blend mode (opacity reduced to 50%)>Hue sat layer global saturation set to +75-80. Seems like it makes the image POP a little more, very cool effect. I would guess that it is placing colors back over the B&W image??
I am always amazed at your exploration and experimentation in PhotoShop. As always, thank you for another effective tool we can add to our post processing toolbox. And I cannot leave this comment without also thanking you for your comprehensive educating style.
Thanks for share the trick ! I have new monitor and really messed up my color grading lately especially with over saturation problems .. hope with this trick it's gonna help me until I can replace my monitor
Thanks, pretty interesting stuff. You have some great tutorials. My biggest challenge is remembering all of the information and trying to figure out what to use when!
Wow Blake - you really do have a firm grasp on color and its relation to the eye....keep up the great videos, (even though some go WAAAY over my head) .....but, ill get there some day :)
Fantastic video Blake, thank you, been photoshopping a long time, just found out about your channel from the two videos you did with Sean Bagshaw. Learned so much from your videos. Superb content.
If you add an invert layer and change it to 50% it will be a greyscale photo, changing it to the color blend mode allows the luminance to show through from below.
Chill out! Cool to know you wouldn´t allow it, although I hadn't asked for permission, I just said I would do one slightly based on yours and that it would be in my language because I think that knowledge has to be shared. You see, the thing about knowledge is that it doesn't belong to you anymore the minute you've given it to the world or a student would never become a teacher just because a teacher taught him/her. But please don't worry, I won't do it, ok? I still think you are one of the greatest photoshop instructors out there. I wish you all the best and that the gods of knowledge continue blessing you with wisdom and happiness. Thank you very much for everything I've learned from you. I'm still a faithfull subscriber to your chennel. See you! :)

🤯🤯🤯 that is pure genius! So glad Netflix led you to discover this mindblowing tool! Thanks so much for sharing and thanks for the action 😍
My brain just about exploded, but great info. I liked the way you tied in color theory rather than just have us move sliders. Great job!
Thanks! I know it is a lot to take in, but that Color Theory stuff is probably the most important part of the lesson! No way I could leave it out :)

I just do a lot of experimenting :) :)
WOW That was really helpful. Now I have this as as a script to check the saturation-level in my daily editing picture routines. Many thanks!

Another great one, thanks Blake for sharing your expertise!
Super helpful video, i have been enamoured with adjustment check layers lately as i do a fair amount of compositing
I know the feeling! Always good to have a second set of eyes when ours fail us!
That's genius, thanks brother.
My pleasure 😁

A very cool tip Blake....very useful. Thanks again
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Very interesting. Thank you very much for sharing such information and technique
My pleasure!
That was helpful Blake, thank you.
Pretty fun tutorial with very useful information! Thanks!
:) glad you liked it!
Brilliant episode Blake! Thank you!
:) Thanks!
Thanks, pretty interesting stuff. You have some great tutorials. My biggest challenge is remembering all of the information and trying to figure out what to use when!
you and me both :)
Thank you. I exported your procedure to Affinity Photo successfully.
Looks very exciting!!!

Exceptional training video, thank you for your time and expertise. And the action as well.
Always my pleasure 😁
Very cool.Thanks as always and also for sharing your actions.
My pleasure!
GREAT GREAT GREAT VIDEO! Very hard to judge color and images sometimes as its pretty much relative!
I know! Even with experience it can be hard to judge, especially when we are so close to it.
great video and tip, its such a big deal i almost mute colours to avoid this.
Oh no! Don't do that :) You are an artist! Express yourself with color... just do it with tact, lol.
i think you can do something similar for light. if i remeber right.. 🤔🤔 Great video!
Wow Blake....that was SUPER helpful - thank you :)
Thanks! My pleasure 😁
Excellent Video!!... Very Useful!!.. Thanks!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
WOW !!!!! Thanks !
My pleasure! So glad to get that reaction.
Thank you, that was great.
You're very welcome!
useful, thanks
Exellent, Blake.
:) thanks!
Okay so I watched this video. It's terrific like most of yours. But then I had to check out Stranger Things. Holy Crap. I'm hooked.
Great show!
@@f64Academy Between playing with Photoshop and watching Stranger Things I am losing sleep. :-)
i stared @ the image with the Cyan too long now my eyes are messed up lol
My bad! Lol
Useful stuff.
Thanks!
Getting back...
So why 50% opacity for the inverted layer with colour blend mode? Sorry, didn't quite get that.
Always learning!!
If you add an invert layer and change it to 50% it will be a greyscale photo, changing it to the color blend mode allows the luminance to show through from below.
great info
I appreciate it.
How about putting the f64 color wheel on a tee shirt? I will buy one for sure
Oooooh I like that :)
@@f64Academy That way when I am away from my computer where the wheel is up on the wall I can always look down or in a mirror and I'm good to go
You can also create a saturation mask. I can tell you how.
Gr8 tutorial as usual. Thanks. I'll make a tutorial in Brazilian portuguese, if you don't mind, based on yours, given the due credits.
In would prefer you don't. I spent days producing this content, I prefer it to remain as it is without being copied.

Interestingly this technique doesn't work at all in lab-color-mode. Anyone who can explain why that is?
Lots of things are different in Lab, some adjustment layers are not available.
Interesting stuff, but are you unwell? Your skin has gone a mighty funny color... or is my monitor dying on me?
Could be a white balance issue on my part :) Not important compared to the content, haha
