I swear to god, every other Lightroom tutorial about calibration goes like this: "So usually what I do is that I slide these to each end and see what happens, you can get my masterclass for $200". It's so nice to see someone actually explain this!
As a non-academic photographer, I have never heard anyone in the 10 years of shooting talking about calibration like this Immensely useful! Thanks for this video.
Yup. It helps understand the difference of the global & individual sliders affect on the colors. I can use & like the individual sliders but, never had much luck with the global adjustments for my edits, therefore I tend to stay away from it. Maybe I'll play with them some more.
This was the first video I've ever seen from your channel and it was so well done that I look forward to seeing what other useful photography things you have to teach. Cheers dude!
ngl I went into this expecting another useless "tutorial" video that boils down to 'buy my presets' but this was actually incredibly useful. Like actually worth the title "will change your lightroom editing forever". The color wheel example made it all super clear as well, appreciate the video!
I've been photographing and editing photos in Photoshop and Lightroom for almost ten years now and this video gave me so much new ideas I thought was not possible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, man!
The way you pack more information into an 18 minute video than some of my (not photography related) grad school lectures is seriously impressive. I'm so excited to practice this feature- trying to learn every aspect of Lightroom's side bar one element at a time!! Thanks for demystifying this one so clearly!!
Hey Pat! The TH-cam algorithm gods have blessed you and you were in my recommended videos! I’m glad I found you; you’re so in depth and well versed. Exactly what I’m looking for. Subbed!
If everyone put as much effort into their content as you do... the mind boggles at the cumulative minutes of wasted time saved. Useful information, clearly presented, minimal filler. Instant Subscribe.
I have been looking for this video for almost 5 months and I finally found it and understand calibration !!!! Why don’t you have a million subs yet?!?! You’re amazing!! Thank you so much
I had begun to play with these calibration sliders, as well, though I had not yet "taken notes" do try to master them. I wonder if our reluctance to learn about this power is the name Adobe gave this panel. "Calibration" sounds like something inextricably linked to the hardware, while using the white balance eyedropper/sampler seemed "no fuss". What seemed to be missing was a straightforward way to do something similar in a one-click move, in the calibration panel. Your demonstration really showed me how the power of these two panels can be used together to Great advantage! Thank you, Muchly, Pat! You have gone a long way toward helping us transform our work INTO Our work, using what we already have.
Canon Rp hasn’t got an official colour profile in Lightroom and using Adobe Colour and tweaking Calibration was a game changer for me. Nice vid and reminder 👏🏾
I just started messing around with the calibration tool a couple months ago but never understood how it actually worked until I watched this. Thanks for the in-depth explanation!
been a photographer that regularly uses this calibration tool, but never understand what it did to my images until this. Sincerely thanking you for explaining this in detail. 👍
Trust me.. This single video differentiates you from everyone else out there. I have been a LR user for years, and this couldn't be simplified any more. Thanks a TONeeee ❤️❤️❤️
You're right, as I've developed my own style, I've recently moved my Calibration panel up to the #2 spot, behind Basics. Do the Basic toning first, then color Calibration, then Tone Curve, then HSL, then Grading, then Detail.
This is a life saver man.. i was interested in that panel but couldn't find ANY clearr explanation... until i found your channel that is.... Thank you very much man i really learned something important today
Hard follow this channel!! I literally did not know what people mean by “colour science” and “calibration”. Thank you! I have assigned you as my master!
I did a Shoot with a pink backdrop, using the Hue I couldn’t get the pink to adjust but after watching this i have TOTAL control over EVERYTHING!!!! Thanks bro, you’re the MVP
Thanks. This is an avenue to color adjustment ideas I've been imagining but didn't know how to affect. You're the first person I've ever know to use the word "whilst" without reading it from a book.
This was such a great video. You actually explained reasoning behind the changes you were making, not just sliding it around and seeing what you like. Never considered using calibration, but I will now! Keep it up, always good to support a fellow Aussie 👍
This is clutch! I never had the courage to learn all the details and functions of LR. But adding this video to another one I saw about color grading. It has made my edits a lot crisper and gave my colors more of a pro level look ! Thanks for this video Pat!
This video was eye opening! Barely just got to it today, but it was loaded with information I did not know at all. Feel like everyone should watch this one. Thanks Pat!
Thats the best explanation I found about Calibration. And I use it a lot. Never really understood how it works. But you explained it simply and efficiently. Calibration helps balance and homogenize colors
I haven’t even started taking photos let alone editing yet and getting such and so much valuable information and elaborations from you is so helpful! Thank you so much!
Mind BLOWN!!!!!!! I've never heard of your channel before, but you just got a new subscriber from this video. I have STRUGGLED with the HSL sliders because they were limiting, but watching this just blew my mind! THAT is the tool I have been looking for and didn't even know it was there!!!! Thank you!!!
ive stayed away from color science and anything really relating to it for awhile but this was broken down so well and gave me a fundemental grasp of how the program actually works in relation to the image, this was amazing!
my only wish would have been to have side-by-side comparisons of your original image with the edits to see the subtle differences but now im going to go play with it on my own images
This has to be the best explanation of the calibration tool I've ever come across. I got so tired of researching it because all the TH-camrs I came across never actually gave an explanation in depth like this. Thank you so much
Thank you. The first clear and concise explanation of that panel,which I have only recently began to use/play with, despite years of LR use. Well done.
At last, someone who knows what he is talking about! Seriously, this presentation is an eye-opener! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I feel like re-processing hundreds of my images in light of video. SUBSCRIBED! 😀
Pat, great video and exceptionally well explained. Almost the first tool I use when editing landscape images is the the Blue Calibration slider. The impact can be fantastic. I've always used the sliders but at least I now know what I am doing and the science behind it!! Thanks so much for this. Keep up the great work. Really looking forward to seeing more from you.
After tons of lightroom tutorial videos, i found that your video is really helpful and truly understand the use of each functions compared to others. Thanks for sharing all these experience and knowledge on TH-cam, looking forward to learn more from you. Thanks Pat!
This one's a game changer for me! Nobody else I subscribe to talks about the Calibration Tool (if not, barely). It's always about the Hue sliders. Thanks for another quality upload, Pat!
I keep that calibration panel up beneath the basic panel. If I start by sliding the blue saturation slider to the right it enhances and enriches so many colors in the image. Thanks for the information and great video!
Thank you! You are adorable! I appreciate this info. I always have trouble with skin tones. I can't wait to try this on my next Senior Portrait Image Edits!
Great video! Insane how Adobe after YEARS of requests from the community still have not incorporated this into Lightroom CC or Lightroom Mobile. One would think they would give priority to something like this considering what they are, but no..
I was so ready to complain that yet another photographer doesn't understand what the Calibration tab does, but you nailed it. Nice work! Another way i like to think of it is as a color harmonizer. By shifting the primaries, you create different hue relationships that can either harmonize more, or less. Funny tho, my standard Calib is much like yours... -red, +green, -blue. Images just look so much better when pushed in that direction.
haha there aren't many people that know what actually goes on in Calibration, nor have the vocab to explain it. i definitely felt the need to fill that gap :)
I need to get back into this. I made some calibration settings to fix casts from heavy ND filters and remove IR tinting. I should explore what it can do for my normal workflow.
I've only used Lightroom for small edits but your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you so much. Your videos feel like an actual class of photography and I love it!!!
It's always refreshing to hear things explained so clearly - thanks very much - although I'm surprised about no mention of either the interaction with white balance settings or the importance of file format (JPG or Raw) in relation to this technique.
my pleasure! and it was to keep things simple; i can spend multiple videos on every aspect of colour, but to keep it understandable, i also had to keep it simple
If I did not understood wrong, calibration is something like white balancing but for colors. Something I realized with a new monitor I bought that I have working beside an folder one, is the difference between how each one shows the colors, no matter how customizable is the screen, you can even calibrate some monitors to match your printer, you will always get a different result depending on the display (may it be a screen or a printed paper) so I decided that I won’t worry that much to be too precise, just kind of go for a result that more or less matches the idea of that image that I have in my mind.
I swear to god, every other Lightroom tutorial about calibration goes like this: "So usually what I do is that I slide these to each end and see what happens, you can get my masterclass for $200". It's so nice to see someone actually explain this!
haha i hear you. it's my goal to break that kind of stigma :)
No one has yet to explain exactly what this does still. Even Adobe.
I agree :)
Very true!
Right?! Haha 😆 Good point
As a non-academic photographer, I have never heard anyone in the 10 years of shooting talking about calibration like this
Immensely useful! Thanks for this video.
The color wheel example was super useful to understand the diff bw hue and calibration, good stuff Pat!
thanks Vishal! cheers for watching!
Yup. It helps understand the difference of the global & individual sliders affect on the colors. I can use & like the individual sliders but, never had much luck with the global adjustments for my edits, therefore I tend to stay away from it. Maybe I'll play with them some more.
It's been over a year and I still think this is one of the best Lightroom info videos I've ever seen. Thanks Pat!
Yeah, this *actually* did changed my life
haha i'm glad :)
This was the first video I've ever seen from your channel and it was so well done that I look forward to seeing what other useful photography things you have to teach. Cheers dude!
Same here, thanks TH-cam for showing me such an amazing channel. Keep it up Pat!!!!
it really was well done
Well explained - nice channel Pat!
thanks Ted! i've been a long-time watcher of yours! appreciate your work.
I cant find the calibration tool in my LR, I don't have a development tab. can u please help?
@@prplayer17 we are referring to Lightroom CLASSIC with a valid license, this is how you can use the develpment tab
ngl I went into this expecting another useless "tutorial" video that boils down to 'buy my presets' but this was actually incredibly useful. Like actually worth the title "will change your lightroom editing forever". The color wheel example made it all super clear as well, appreciate the video!
haha i'm glad you think so. thanks for watching :)

Was going to comment this exact thing! Glad the TH-cam Gods are here for us :)
Looking forward to seeing more of work Pat!

im glad you enjoyed my style of presentation! thanks for the sub :)
This is the most in depth video/content about this topic I’ve seen. Really thankful for this.
thank you! exactly what i was aiming for :)
thx for your unexcited, not artificially exaggerated explanations. Makes it comfortable to follow.

Oh my god, I swear you have the best tutorial/learning videos about lightroom and especially colour aspects! I'm definitely subscribing!
Hard follow this channel!! I literally did not know what people mean by “colour science” and “calibration”. Thank you! I have assigned you as my master!
One of the top explanations of calibration and certainly the best for explaining potential uses
this is the most concise and very clear explanation i watched regarding the calibration tool.
I did a Shoot with a pink backdrop, using the Hue I couldn’t get the pink to adjust but after watching this i have TOTAL control over EVERYTHING!!!! Thanks bro, you’re the MVP
Thanks. This is an avenue to color adjustment ideas I've been imagining but didn't know how to affect. You're the first person I've ever know to use the word "whilst" without reading it from a book.
The absolute BEST explanation of color calibration I have seen on You Tube…thanks!!!!
Have to say, your teaching levels and explanations are completely phenomenal mate!
thank youu!
This was such a great video. You actually explained reasoning behind the changes you were making, not just sliding it around and seeing what you like. Never considered using calibration, but I will now!
Keep it up, always good to support a fellow Aussie 👍
thanks for watching mate!
GAME CHANGER. Thank you for posting this! 🙌
Utilizing this skill has just saved me so much time. With high ISO pictures, it is a GAME CHANGER! Thanks a BILLION for this one Pat!
This is clutch! I never had the courage to learn all the details and functions of LR. But adding this video to another one I saw about color grading. It has made my edits a lot crisper and gave my colors more of a pro level look ! Thanks for this video Pat!
I just discovered your TH-cam channel... binge watching already. So much extremely useful and insightful information. Thank you!
I've seen a few videos on the tool. Your explanation was by far the best. Well done and thanks.
Calibration panel is one of those ones which you can't just mess around with and see what happens...REALLY needed this. thanks a lot!
I would add that to go one step beyond in "color science", screen calibration is very important! Great video, I am definitely going to try this out!
This video was eye opening! Barely just got to it today, but it was loaded with information I did not know at all. Feel like everyone should watch this one. Thanks Pat!
Thats the best explanation I found about Calibration. And I use it a lot. Never really understood how it works. But you explained it simply and efficiently. Calibration helps balance and homogenize colors
Glad it helped!
The best explanation , I'm glad I found this channel
Man, THE BEST EXPLANATION of this tool like EVER!!! Thank you and keep up the amazing work that you do! Absolutely love the stuff that you make!🙏🏼😊
I haven’t even started taking photos let alone editing yet and getting such and so much valuable information and elaborations from you is so helpful! Thank you so much!
Been working with Lightroom like 3 years I never know what this tool makes, so many thanks!!! 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖
my pleasure :)
Mind BLOWN!!!!!!! I've never heard of your channel before, but you just got a new subscriber from this video. I have STRUGGLED with the HSL sliders because they were limiting, but watching this just blew my mind! THAT is the tool I have been looking for and didn't even know it was there!!!! Thank you!!!
Best tutorial on Calibration I have listened to. Thank you.
Nice explanation. Working for 5 years with lightroom but only now realize the local and global idea. Mind opening!
Calibration and HSL explained in a simple and practical way.. Please keep up the good work.
ive stayed away from color science and anything really relating to it for awhile but this was broken down so well and gave me a fundemental grasp of how the program actually works in relation to the image, this was amazing!
my only wish would have been to have side-by-side comparisons of your original image with the edits to see the subtle differences but now im going to go play with it on my own images
Excellent tutorial , concise , to the point and most importantly , easily understood - brilliant Teacher , sir .
This has to be the best explanation of the calibration tool I've ever come across. I got so tired of researching it because all the TH-camrs I came across never actually gave an explanation in depth like this. Thank you so much

So this is by far the most practical lesson in calibration. Eye-opening. Thank you!
Excellent explanation of how calibration works. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this Pat. You are the first youtuber who actually explain calibration simply deeply and sincerely.
Not sure if anyone has explained this stuff as well as you. incredible dude.
This one's a game changer for me! Nobody else I subscribe to talks about the Calibration Tool (if not, barely). It's always about the Hue sliders. Thanks for another quality upload, Pat!
I keep that calibration panel up beneath the basic panel. If I start by sliding the blue saturation slider to the right it enhances and enriches so many colors in the image. Thanks for the information and great video!
Example #2 just SHOOK my world when you brought the purple sky back to blue! Thank you for making this video
probably the most useful video I've watched this whole year. You have singlehandedly changed my editing workflow, great video Pat!
That last shot, even without edits, looks so fucking amazing. Really speaks to your skill as a photographer.
the best explanation on calibration i've come across. thanks!
Dude this is the most helpful video i’ve seen since i’ve started photography an editing. Thank you
I've played with the calibration tool but never really understood how it worked to my advantage. Excellent video. I have subscribed.
thanks for the sub!
Wow, Pat. This is LEGIT. Thank you for this. I use to just mess around with it to change the style but that's it. Thanks for sharing the knowledge
thanks so much for watching! 😊
Thank you! You are adorable! I appreciate this info. I always have trouble with skin tones. I can't wait to try this on my next Senior Portrait Image Edits!
Great video! Insane how Adobe after YEARS of requests from the community still have not incorporated this into Lightroom CC or Lightroom Mobile. One would think they would give priority to something like this considering what they are, but no..
Great content! Was unsure if I would use the information at first but you drove the point home. Will try this out.
this has gotta be the onl good calibration video on youtube..such a help! Thanks!
I was so ready to complain that yet another photographer doesn't understand what the Calibration tab does, but you nailed it. Nice work!

Master of explaining colours
very informative. thank you!
brilliant explanation !!! top off the roof in color science. THK !!!
thanks for watching!
I need to get back into this. I made some calibration settings to fix casts from heavy ND filters and remove IR tinting. I should explore what it can do for my normal workflow.
Still bringing value to viewers 9 months later, thanks for making this.
I've been searching for this information without knowing it - very well explained and subscribing was a no-brainer.
Wow! Super helpful video. You are right...the calibration tool is a game changer!
Lightroom can also be used in that way to grade video clips
This is so incredibly well explained. Thanks so much!!
The way that I went "ooooh", "ahh", "*gasp*" while watching this, you'd think I was watching something else. Eyegasmic lesson.
Best Prctical explanation on colour science
Thank you for your Great representation
thanks so much for watching! 😊
3:14 you summed it up 100% well. i could never ever put this into words. Well done.
I've only used Lightroom for small edits but your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you so much. Your videos feel like an actual class of photography and I love it!!!
This is my first minute in your channel and I think it's the best minute in the day
I understand color much better as a result of this video, thanks !!
It's always refreshing to hear things explained so clearly - thanks very much - although I'm surprised about no mention of either the interaction with white balance settings or the importance of file format (JPG or Raw) in relation to this technique.
my pleasure! and it was to keep things simple; i can spend multiple videos on every aspect of colour, but to keep it understandable, i also had to keep it simple
A new master to learn with, excellent video thank you for sharing
thanks for watching! :)
i never comment, this blew my mind - thank you for the clear explanation as well as the visual of the colors changing in tandem
Yo love the way you describe and explain those colours movements, thanks a lot ! let's try it now
Wow, thanks so much for all your work on this topic. Very well explained. Amazing.
Thanks Pat. That was revelatory. So excited to start using this.
Pat, youre an incredible teacher. These videos are so informative, thank you!
You are doing a phenomenal work here man, very much appreciated really ! Keep going brother.
This is gold, thanks for the thorough explanation.
Thank you Pat! You are a great instructor. Best explanation and teaching process Ive seen . TY Ty TY!!!
