If I could download this video into my head I would. This has been hands down one of the most informative and educational/helpful videos on color I have ever seen. You have a very unique talent for teaching, it’s spectacular. I wish there was a second like button because I went back to the video a second time to like it and realized I already had.

Without a doubt the most useful video I have watched on color science. I have been taking and editing photos for about 3 years and have watched dozens, probably hundreds of videos on color correction in Lightroom and have yet to find anything 1/10th as valuable as this. Thanks for the very thorough tutorial!

Excellent video. I personally prefer editing photos on a white background, because I find judging colours, tones and especially brightness much easier. Most of my images end up being presented surrounded by white. Lightroom and other editing software allows you to easily set your own background colour.

These are excellent tips, Todd. Thank you so much. I almost NEVER use Saturation in my photos and use Vibrance instead, because as you pointed out, when you use Saturation it applies it to EVERYTHING regardless of whether it's already saturated or not, but when you use Vibrance, it only applies it to the dull parts of the image. Love the tip especially about bending the colours together. Keep up the great work Todd.

That being said though, just because those AI features are there in that program, that doesn't necessarily mean you need to take advantage of them. If you find that you would be better served, by editing the normal way without using AI, well then do it. Just don't touch those features. Adobe isn't necessarily putting a gun to your head (so to speak) and saying you HAVE to use those AI features. And for the record, I HATE AI for the most part, so I'm not going to use it. It's like the Beta that came out for Photoshop for Generative AI. People are going to say 'oh but it will have its uses', but from what I've seen so far, it's taking away the creative thought that you as the photographer would need to make, so I'm never going to touch it even if it's there.

This video along with 10 Step RAW Photo Processing / Where to Start, What To Do Next, Where to Finish, are very helpful. Sometimes I think that if you master the techniques well, plugins or programs related to luminosity and chromance are not necessary. Particularly sometimes I start from a neutral profile and Adobe's is better than Canon's neutral profile in my opinion.👍👍

One question, I often try to use the free Linear Camera Profiles from Tony Kuyper to get try and get a good starting point; however, most of the time I don’t like the results. Have you used linear profiles and do you have any thoughts on using them?

This is one of the most informative video related to photo editing I've been watching so far. It is not really about Lightroom. I believed that it is software agnostic knowledge about colors in general. 1) Content. Wow. I've learned so much. I'm a hobbyist, but after that video I've realized that I know nothing about colors. I would like to "print" that video and put it on the wall next to my desk. The bad thing is that now I would like to re-edit hundreds of photos I was editing "mechanically" ;-) 2) Video quality wise, it is almost perfect, audio/voice, edit - top quality. Camera was missing a focus a few times but it does not matter at all - content always wins! 3) I'm finding the video really unique in the on YT. I was able to find your channel just last week. I need invest some time and explore your past videos! Thank you very much Todd. Please continue. I'm more that sure that it will be appreciated and I hope that YT platform is and will work for you.

I thought I was pretty proficient in Lightroom but there were things I learned here, very clearly explained without rushing. One thing from the start about colour settings, I couldn’t find the camera settings option although there were lots of effects options. However the camera setting was in the Preferences route so I was able to load my different camera bodies instead of Adobe which is great, so thank you.

Super friendly & engaging video, thanks! A couple comments: when you recommend editing in b&w w/o color, you click the BW button, but that changes the color profile to Adobe Monochrome, which has a TOTALLY DIFFERENT tonal map-so edits you make there will make no sense tonally when you switch back to the camera matching profile. Instead, you should just set the desaturation to -100, make your edits, & then set Sat back to 0. Next, the calibration panel (formerly Camera Calibration) is there as a stopgap in case there are no camera matching profiles, like with unsupported cameras or jpegs w/o metadata. If there is a camera matching profile, choose that & your image is correctly calibrated, & all you're doing by messing w/those sliders is breaking the profile. Of course there's lots of ways to skin a cat & you can get something nice looking by randomly moving sliders all around-but imho folks would be better using the Color Mixer / Temp/Tent / Color Grading / Color Curve tools, since that's what they're meant for ... & using tools in ways they aren't intended to be used can bite you; the calibration tool, for example, is excluded when using masks. Also, when you warn peeps against using the global saturation slider, that's essentially what the calibration Sat sliders are, so mixed messages there.
