17:45 Wrap up
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.
Yeah, this *actually* did changed my life
haha i'm glad :)
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!
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 :)
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

im glad you enjoyed my style of presentation! thanks for the sub :)
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!
Was going to comment this exact thing! Glad the TH-cam Gods are here for us :)
Looking forward to seeing more of work Pat!
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
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!!
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!
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!
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 :)
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.
thx for your unexcited, not artificially exaggerated explanations. Makes it comfortable to follow.
One of the top explanations of calibration and certainly the best for explaining potential uses
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 ❤️❤️❤️
The best explanation , I'm glad I found this channel
The absolute BEST explanation of color calibration I have seen on You Tube…thanks!!!!
The way that I went "ooooh", "ahh", "*gasp*" while watching this, you'd think I was watching something else. Eyegasmic lesson.
GAME CHANGER. Thank you for posting this! 🙌
Been working with Lightroom like 3 years I never know what this tool makes, so many thanks!!! 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖
my pleasure :)
Brilliantly explained. Clear and concise with enough depth of the technical aspects to be relevant but not so much as to be confusing or to put people off. Great job Pat. Instant sub.
The best editing video I’ve watched this year. Thank you so much!
Great piece of knowledge. So happy to find your video. Thanks!
Wow thank you so much for this! I feel this is exactly what I’ve been looking for to help me find my style (visual look) in my photography. Thanks Pat!!
Thanks for explaining this Pat, great video!
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!
Thank you for sharing all this knowledge!
Very well explained. much appreciated. thanks
Calibration well explained! Awesome work Pat Kay! 👍🌟🙂
Very well explained man! Subscribed!
Exceptionally well done, Pat ! You've a talent for making the complex understandable without oversimplifying the entire process. I'd love to see a follow on to this introduction where you could expand on how the two tools, Calibration and the HSL sliders interact. I'm a bit fuzzy on when and why you cease editing in Calibration and shift over to the HSL approach. But many, many thanks for helping me find a way to make Fuji's interpretation of what chartreuse is vs my preference for what these great green/yellow Spring colors should look like. Be well and stay safe. Slainte !
Wow, thanks so much for all your work on this topic. Very well explained. Amazing.
this is the most concise and very clear explanation i watched regarding the calibration tool.
AMAZING! thank you for such an informative video!
Oh my god, I swear you have the best tutorial/learning videos about lightroom and especially colour aspects! I'm definitely subscribing!
great piece of content! thank you for putting this together Pat!
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
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!🙏🏼😊
Very well explained. Thanks!
That was an awesome explanation, thank you so much. Having the knowledge of why the changes occur is so important, particularly the example at the start. Thanks again.
Vary well done Pat. Thank you.
This is so helpful! Thank you!
This is so incredibly well explained. Thanks so much!!
This was EXTREMELY well done! Very helpful, thank you so much!!
Very well covered, and very paced. Thanks!
I flipping LOVE you, Pat! Your explanations are straightforward, easy to understand & so invaluable to someone like me who is JUST starting my photography journey. I only need to hit your channel to find my answers. Thanks so much for your time!
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.
That last shot, even without edits, looks so fucking amazing. Really speaks to your skill as a photographer.
Well demonstrated and really useful. Just subscribed. Thanks!
Really well explained and perfect examples with different photographic styles. Glad I found your channel! :)
This is so awesome!! Thank you for sharing!
Have to say, your teaching levels and explanations are completely phenomenal mate!
thank youu!
Very good tutorial ! Thanks 🙏
Very well explained. Thank you for sharinc
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!
Truly fascinating, thanks Pat! 👌
You explained this really well, thank you 🙏🏽
Nice!!! Thanks for sharing this!
Great tutorial, I finally learned the basic of the calibration tool and some practical tips on how to use it!
Awsome content. Upvoted and saved! Thank you!
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
So useful. Thank you very much!
Excellent explanation of how calibration works. Thank you.
That was super informative. Thank you for sharing!
Great video, thanks Pat
Excellent explanation and examples!
This literally is amazing ! Thank u!!!
Great tutorial, thank you for sharing! Definitely worth the watch.
This video is so great. Love your content!
Beautifully explained !!
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!
3:14 you summed it up 100% well. i could never ever put this into words. Well done.
THANKS A LOT! Very helpful!
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 :)
That was both instructive and informative. Thank you.
Such a great video! Now I know a lot more about editing and colors! Thanks!
This was so helpful thank you!
This is one of the most helpful videos on TH-cam. I’ve watched this 10 times and every time I pick up something new
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!
Fantastic video! Thank you
Best tutorial on Calibration I have listened to. Thank you.
Thank you for the explaination.
This some top quality content bro.
You've explained it very well. Keep up the good work.
Very clever then useful tutorial. Thank you!
Loved it. Have used it before. So I'll go do it😍❤️thanksss
Wonderful tutorial - thank you!
This was extremely useful, thanks!
A video I needed for a long time, thanks so much!
Very good tutorial, thanks.
Thank you! This is a very helpful lesson.
Amazing explanation... Thanks so much!
Very useful cant wait to try this 👌💯
Super solid and informative video my man!
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!
Really Great Job explaining. Went to your website awesome work. Looking forward to a lot more content from you. Thanks for putting this video together.
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!
Fantastic explanation!! Thank you for making this!
thanks for watching :)
