Absolutely helpful! A feature that I was not aware of but something that I will use in the future. Again, thank you for help making me become a better photographer!!
Hi mark i am vivek Mungi from India 🇮🇳 it's great tutorial. I am scared to used luminance slider in color greding. You boost my confidence Thank you 🙏 🌹
I have been using Photoshop from almost the first day it was released, but I have never discovered this slider before. Thanks for producing this video.
I was trained in Photoshop™ before Lightroom™ arrived. Photoshop is a great, exhaustively great, program. It is a bit like using a large truck to bring home the groceries. You have taught me, in terms that I can understand, the benefits of Lightroom Classic™. Not only does this make it easier to adjust lighting, color, etc., it makes us more productive. After all, 'photographic' comes from Greek language for 'light writing' or 'light drawing'. LRC classic does this exceedingly well. Loved the presentation.
I never thought about using the color grading to make targeted luminance changes. I tend to do that with the curve but will see if I like this better. Thanks for your thoughtful videos.
Great video. I think I may have been at Mt. Sneffels at the same time In October that you were as our photos are almost identical. This video has given me great info on how I can process mine plus future images. Thanks.
All of your videos are helpful. This one is no exception. Most appreciative of your skills and the ability to educate. I am pointing my photog friends to your channel.
Mark, this was an absolutely helpful video. Thank you. Of all the Lightroom courses and videos I've watched over the years, no one has explained this "hidden Lightroom slider" the way you have. I've tried it on a few of my photos and it's amazing.
PPA has a lot of great resources, both technical and business related. Also, a gear insurance program we make use of to cover our gear. As both an architectural and landscape photographer I find their resources really beneficial.
After watching this video, I was motivated to subscribe to your channel! Great info. & presentation Mark! I never realized this & will definitely be experimenting with this & using it in my editing. I'm also going to take a further look at a PPA membership. Thanks much!
Hi Mark, more interesting stuff, and thanks for sharing. ... and before I forget, thankyou for another year of interesting, informative, and enjoyable videos
Mark, just watched this video for the second time. Excellent content/tip! This has really helped with my workflow. Looking forward to more from you. Thank you for all you do!
Mark I have a whole playlist with you, Anthony Morganti, Phlearn, Piximperfect and some others that I send to people when they're first learning. I'm not the best teacher but I know how to find the best teachers lol.
Great video Mark. I consider myself a Lightroom hack. I really don't know what I'm doing. I basically hack the sliders to get a look that feels good to me. Great job explaining how these work. Thanks, I look forward to your weekly videos.
Clicking on the histogram is not manipulating the histogram as you assume, it's just a shortcut for the sliders below. Tone curve is the way to adjust the histogram apart from the basic sliders. Color grading method is a limited workaround at best
Very informative. I am becoming over whelmed with too many photo editing software programs and presets. I fought for years not wanting to pay Adobe the monthly subscription fee for LR Classic and PS. Instead I purchased DXO, Luminar, Topaz and a few more. I am back to using LR 90% of the time and yes paying the Adobe fees for the updates. I do have a question regarding presets. Do you find them helpful and able to obtain the look you are satisfied with? I use them more than I should than I make changes to the presets. I am now thinking that using presets keeps me from learning options available in LR. I would have never known about the sliders until viewing your video. A big thanks.
As always, you offered up both a useful tip AND a valuable illustration to show how it works. The pace you deliver your videos is much appreciated as it helps one process the information for easier comprehension. Love your tutorials...Happy Holidays.
I really appreciate this video. I have stayed away from that section of LR due to having some color blindness; so I take my photos into PS just to use the brightness slider because I could not find an equivalent in LR. I think these sliders will be a great equivalent in a lot of situations and help not have to go back and forth as much and will refine my final result. Thank you for pointing these sliders out!
Great tip. Up until now I have only been comfortable using the first menu in Colour Grading to affect shadows and highlights. Thanks for giving me another tool to make use of 👍
Excellent! That filled in a gap. I will have a go with it as soon as I make my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Which are not on many menus here in New Zealand.
Merry Christmas Mark! Thanks again for another great video. The Colour Grading tool is an essential part of my editing process as it really brings your creative edge to life by bringing in different colour tones to the photo as well.
I've found I use these sliders often when I've got 50/100 images in a session. Not always with extra colour adjustments from this panel, instead I'll use the hue sliders or colour range edits. The midtone slider you mention would be a welcome addition for sure!
A well done video Mark! I had accidentally discovered this slider a short time after the update. I love how you put it to good use. I didn't know you could alter the image right off the histogram though. That was a helpful hint...thanks!
Hi Mark, love your videos! I've always used Bridge but now prefer LR because of your videos. I would love to see a future feature your workspace setup / office. I notice all of the ambient light (salt rock, christmas lights etc.) Do you find this helpful for editing to keep lighting low, both physically and brightness? I was advised to keep my space as dark as possible for editing. Thanks!
Thank you once again Mark. I've learned something, and now I just have to hope that I'll remember it when I need it. It's a little bit of thinking outside of the box.
Very helpful video Mark! I knew about adjusting right from the histogram, but didn't play close enough attention to notice that the 'midtone' area was adjusting the total exposure. That doesn't make sense when you think about it. Thank you for pointing this out and describing the real midtone adjustment slider. As you stated, hopefully Adobe adds the midtone slider to the basic slider and also ties it to the midtone area in the histogram so that it's all consistent. Thanks Mark!
💥QUICK QUESTION: Was this video helpful?
Yes! I believe I saw a video on this feature before, but I had forgotten about it. This video and your teaching style in general is extremely helpful.
Yes, I have never used the luminance slider under the color grading section because frankly, I didn't know about it so yes it was helpful.
@@melodyphillips2388 Thanks so much Melody!
@@ddki9094 Awesome to hear!

Loved this and thanks for sharing such a cool tip.
Very informative video Mark. Thanks for sharing.
👍 Really superb tip, thanks!
This was a very helpful suggestion that I plan to use a lot. I like the idea of playing with it to find the settings I most like.
Awesome, Mark! Thanks so much ... YES, very helpful! Cheers!
Great video, Mark. Very interesting! Thank you!
I have been using Photoshop from almost the first day it was released, but I have never discovered this slider before. Thanks for producing this video.
What an informative, easy to follow vid. You are so fluent with a great voice quality makes it a joy to listen to. Thanks!!
Mark, I've not thought of using the luminance slider in this way. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks Mark, a good find. I agree, that option should be in the main adjustment section. Cheers
💡Light bulb moment. Magic! 🪄🧚♀
Very useful; thank you Mark!
Mark, another great video about a useful technique. This is why I watch your channel.
Thanks for yet another helpful tutorial. Thanks for your efforts over the past year. Have a Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
Very good, very helpful Mark. Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed this.
Your mini leg lamp made me chuckle. Nice homage to the season.
Thanks Mark!! love the leg lamp, Happy holidays
Great suggestion. Had never thought of it and will definitely use it.
Thanks for checking it out Jerry! Hope you're doing well!
You are the best lightroom teacher and at the same time a great landscape photographer

Love learning new tips in short sessions like this. Thanks Mark~
Yes! Very useful. Thank you Mark.
Very helpful and easy to understand. Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much!
super helpful video Mark, thanks!!
Great advice as always Mark. Many thanks
Appreciated! I've used the color grading tool quite a bit, but always to apply a color; now I have something new to try. Thanks!
Thanks Josh!
Very Helpful. I don't use Lightroom, but the sliders are identical in Adobe Camera Raw.
Thanks for the video, Mark. Luminar Neo's powerline removal tool would be beneficial on that second shot.
Very cool. Look forward to using this. Have stayed away from those scary wheels lately!
It's actually pretty easy once you start playing with them.
Great! Likely others were as surprised as I was with this functionality. Thank you!!
Thanks Patricia!
I never thought about using the color grading to make targeted luminance changes. I tend to do that with the curve but will see if I like this better. Thanks for your thoughtful videos.
Thanks Mark. Always something new that adds value.

Even though I knew about the luminance slider I forget to use it. This is a good reminder.
Very useful , didn’t realise it was there and what you could do with it
Wow - definitely an amazing new tool for the Lightroom arsenal, and one I will be experimenting with for sure. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this Mark - I think it will be really helpful for my mono work.
Thank you, this is extremely useful!!!
Yes. I usually work the midtones in On1 but happy to use it in Lightroom.
Great tips that are helpful for the editing of those of us who shoot so many variations of photography.
Very, very helpful, thank you.
WOW! What a good one!
cool tip, mark! thanks!
As usual very helpful and well presented in non technical language clearly explains the target subject. Thanks
Absolutely! I really enjoy your tutorials Mark.
Your videos are super helpful. Lightroom and on scene.
Thanks for the sharing this info!! Very, very helpful!! you so a excellent job of explaining how to use the info and when!!
After watching this video, I was motivated to subscribe to your channel! Great info. & presentation Mark! I never realized this & will definitely be experimenting with this & using it in my editing. I'm also going to take a further look at a PPA membership. Thanks much!
Mark. Could you provide the location of where this image was taken?! It's fantastic.
I have been using those for awhile. However - what do the "blending" and "balance" sliders in the Color Grading modules do?
Thanks, Mark
Great tip, this is one of your better video.
Hi Mark, more interesting stuff, and thanks for sharing. ... and before I forget, thankyou for another year of interesting, informative, and enjoyable videos
Thanks so much for hanging around Steve! Really appreciate it friend!
Surprisingly I did know about that slider and have used it for the past several months, still a good video.
Informative video 😁👍
Mark, just watched this video for the second time. Excellent content/tip! This has really helped with my workflow. Looking forward to more from you. Thank you for all you do!
Mark, great find! You are correct, I have never thought to adjust the mid tones there! Thank You!
Great to hear the video was helpful!
That is a brilliant LR hack, thanks for sharing! I see so much potential for this. Can't wait to start playing with it.
Mark I have a whole playlist with you, Anthony Morganti, Phlearn, Piximperfect and some others that I send to people when they're first learning. I'm not the best teacher but I know how to find the best teachers lol.
Thanks so much for including me in that list!
Wow Mark! It is these kind of videos that are REALLY helpful. I will go try this on some of my old photos
Thanks Mark, very clear and useful.
Thanks Richard!
Very helpful Mark, Thanks
Love the leg lamp!
This was helpful! Thank you Mark!
Thanks Jack!
As a Clevelander, I LOVE the Leg Lamp! 🦵

I get lots of useful tips from your videos, but this one was particularly "focused" - thanks!
Love to hear it!
Another great relaxed tutorial, thank you. Must also say it is confidence inspiring as well, the before and after was particularly interesting
great tip- thanks Mark

I thought I was fairly "up" on Lightroom, but that midtones luminance info is absolutely great - thank you Mark!
Yes! This was a very helpful video! Thank you so much for making this!!!
Thank you for watching it Marianne!
Can you use light to lead the eye ?
Great tip. Up until now I have only been comfortable using the first menu in Colour Grading to affect shadows and highlights. Thanks for giving me another tool to make use of 👍
Killer video yet again!
Awesome - thanks Colt!
Another excellent video. Good insights, good examples, concise and clear. You are the best
Thanks a million Marc!
Yes super helpful! I can’t wait to try it. I must say, I almost always learn something new from your videos so thanks for that 😊
Love hearing this - thank you!
I work with Lightroom since 2007 but this is new to me 👍🏻
Great to hear it was helpful Roland!
Excellent! That filled in a gap. I will have a go with it as soon as I make my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Which are not on many menus here in New Zealand.
hahahah thanks Jim!
Merry Christmas Mark!
