Curves in Photoshop: Meet Curves & The 10 Basic Adjustments Every Photographer Should Know

Today's video runs through 10 of the most used Curves Adjustments in Photoshop 🥳 Ok, actually there are more than 10 adjustments shown with curves in Photoshop in this video but really if we're categorising them, there are 10 core winners when it comes to applying curves to your photographs.
Curves can be super overwhelming at first but really it doesn't need to be. In this video we walk through curves, how to find the adjustment layer, what the curves panel actually has in it and then use one image to run through a variety of different adjustments.
Photoshop is scary but curves isn't. I really hope this helps to ease the panic and also teaches you something you maybe didn't know yesterday!
Blog post on this topic with a full Anatomy of Curves diagram + screengrabs of the curves for each adjustment can be found here: www.thattogspot.com/curves-in...

[@pattymattes7124]

Thanks for another very helpful video! Lately I've been using curves to do dodge and burn. What I can't figure out is why the curves adjustment pops out in a fly out window instead of inside the panel. I'm not sure if I said that correctly. I guess I need to see if my properties is clicked.

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

Thank you for the kind words 😊 Yeah definitely check to see if properties is clicked 🤓

[@SandyHansenPhotography]

Tell me where you got that light above your iMac. I need one for my iMac

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

The light is the ScreenBar Plus by BenQ which is available on Amazon and other retailers.

Amazing channels plus: killer intro sound. What is your sound source? The intro is generally amazing? Did you make it yourself or found any cool templates such as those from MotionVFX?

[@ThatPhotographySpot]

We use epidemic sound but the intro is from premium beat, it was templated, that was from envato I believe ☺️
