I've never touched the colour grading wheels (or rgb tone curve) but I will definitely have to experiment with them now. Thanks for the straightforward video and making the concepts easy to understand, appreciate it!
Hi Gerard, thank you very much. I usually only did the tone curve, but I see a lot the advantages of doing it your way. Nice explanations and demos. I subscribed to your channel.
I have always struggled with the washed-out look when editing portraits, especially on the skin when highlights and whites are negative. This tip to bring back contrast with the curves will be really helpful.
Great video! You are extremely clear with your explanations, and the practical examples bring the point home perfectly. Make a course and I'll be your first student!
I used to lift the shadows, add white, and then darken the blacks. I never thought of lifting the blacks to recover the details. I'll give that a try next time
Yeah I prefer it as when you do it the shadows don’t fall apart and get mushy, but the blacks get this soft texture look to them, and then add in some black with the tone curve to fix it Resulting in a more natural contrast to film in my opinion
Clear and helpful tutorial, if a tad fast(😊). This is the kind of content that e-magazines like Petapixel and Shutterbug like to cover. Sometimes they will reference and summarize a post without first notifying the channel host. Otherwise, you might want to contact them first. Your benefit is greatly increased exposure and a big boost to subs. Cheers!
So... what would be the difference between using the contrast slider in the basic panel and an simple s-curve? (Is there any?) i did understand, that the tone curve histogram will be different, but does it have any impact other than that?
Best video I've ever watched in TH-cam about the CURVES Tool🔥🔥🔥
3 years trying to understand tone curve and now with a simple video I got it! THANK YOU bro.
That’s epic bro
I think you just cleared up years of not understanding, and avoiding, Tone Curve for me. This is so helpful, thank you! 🙂📷
Oh wow that’s epic

Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely start with the color wheels, and don’t go to hard hehehehe
Extremely helpful covering a complex range of tools and colour theory with clarity. Thank you
No worries

Yeah best to soften the image then add the contrast in, less retouching that way

Coming soon watch this space
Quick info for Windows users, the shortcut for slower tone curve adjustment is ALT + Left Click
Yeah sorry, me over here thinking Apple is the only product
