I always learn something when you go through the tools. Mostly I realize (again) the importance of slowing down and playing more with each slider. Thanks, Jim.
Thanks so much for watching Rebecca and yes slowing down is always a great idea - I tend to hurry often as well. I guess it's just a bad habit, but when I slow down and get really thoughtful about my edit, it is always better.
Jim, just wanted to offer my thanks for your advice in this video. I had some recent images I took in Italy along the coast, some of which had an annoying purple/magenta cast to the distant mountains. With “color balance” I was able to fairly easily remove the off-color cast and replace it with the the color that the mountains actually appeared to have, which was dark green from the foliage growing along the coastal side. Your tip really saved these images. Thanks again for your help.
Hey Steve that is awesome to hear, so glad this helped you with those photos. And Italy is always amazing, whether you get good pics or not! 😀Thanks for sharing.
I've used the color balance tools before, but your video gave me a greater understanding of the power of this tool and how to apply it better in my next edit. Thanks again Jim.
Finally, a tutorial on using color balance. I have it as a “Fav” too, it’s been one of my most used tools since watching one of your earlier videos where you used it on a waterfall I think. Excellent video Jim! Definitely one I’ll be referring to often. 💜💜👍🏻👍🏻💜💜
Love watching your blogs, Jim. Always informative and interesting and learning so much to improve my photo editing. Hope you are well and your back is getting better. Take care, my friend.
Hey Joe! Thanks so much and yes I am getting better all the time. I even went hiking for a bit yesterday, so I am getting back to normal. Thanks so much and hope you are doing well!
Many thanks, Jim. As usual, a very informative and helpful tutorial. Here's another use for Color Balance. I use it to add just a very subtle amount of red and yellow to the shadows in a black and white photo. It gives the black and white photo just a touch of warmth. I add about a +2 of yellow and and -5 of red. Give it a try.
You mentioned "accurate colour control", I think it would be better to say "precise colour control", since precision refers to how close measured values are to each other, i.e. the number of intervals or sub interval units are to each other, accuracy is how close a measured value is to the real world, at least in context to photography and image capture. Since you're using colour balance to alter the RAW file which is of course flat in comparison the true colours in that scene at the time the photo was taken, it is an alteration of the RAW file which in this case would be classified as accurate to the measured information. Therefore, I'd use "precise colour control", to describe playing with the colour balance tool.
I love your Luminar videos. I have learned a lot. I know it's personal preference but I have got to say that your current hairstyle is really distracting. What's with that?
Another great breakdown of a Neo tool. Good job!
thank you for watching Paul!
would love a session on Curves. Thanks
thanks Thomas and it is on the list!
Thank you, Jim.
I will try to use this more often after watching your Tutorial. The curves tool is the tool I use more often at the moment.
Thanks for watching Volkmar and if you are using Curves that is great, it can do amazing things for you, as you know.

Thanks Jim for the clear explanation in colour harmony.
Kind regards, Mark

Thanks for watching John and sounds like you found another good use for color balance. I am sure there are a lot of them! 😀
@@JimNix Yes, indeed, Jim. It might be interesting to make a list of all of them.
Hi Jim, thanks for the clear explanation, much appreciated
thanks for watching Shirish!
Thx Jim
thanks for watching Lykz!

Ok that sounds fair to me. I just really mean you can control colors to your liking. 😁 But I get your point, thanks for sharing.
When you say color balance, I keep thinking of the color balance under develop tool, not color harmony
Ah yeah this is the dedicated Color Balance section of Color Harmony.
I love your Luminar videos. I have learned a lot. I know it's personal preference but I have got to say that your current hairstyle is really distracting. What's with that?
Glad you enjoy my videos, but what difference does it make what my hair looks like?
Sorry, I LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣 think about all the comments if you had Caps on 🧢 🤣 OMG..... thanks Jim again for a grate explaining video about Luminar 😉👍
@@BrynjarGudmundsson haha thanks for watching!
