    As a long term PS user, I've felt the need to learn Selective Color for a while now. I finally found a teacher... You! Thanks

      😁 so glad I could help! You should see what I cooked into my Visionary Panel, phew! Excellent selective color control. Email me if you are interested in learning more about it. Blake@f64academy.com
      I'd love to discuss your current struggles and see what solutions I can provide for you. As much as this might sound like an infomercial, it's not 😁 I really enjoy helping photographers overcome their limitations in post production.

    I remember the first time I did plein air oil painting of trees and grass outside... my painting started out lurid, toxic green and I spent the whole time adding red to my greens! I learned that green in nature is quite muted. I really appreciate that you relate your tutorials to artistic fundamentals!

    What a fantastic tutorial. I have been using Selective Colour and "playing" with it on quite a few images without fully understanding how it works. I thought I was doing a reasonable job, but it was basically experimentation with no direction. Your explanation of the colour wheel and how this either adds or subtracts the complimentary colour was a lightbulb moment for me. If only Adobe would adopt your version of the Selective Colour layout, it would make it so much more intuitive. Thank you. Keep up the excellent work Blake.

    Now that is very good, your Actions give a very natural boost to the yellows, greens and reds in my images. I have been playing around with Selective Color for awhile now after you highlighlighted this adjustment layer a few years back but haven't been able to tweak it as well as you have for these colors using this Action you have provided for free. I really hope that other viewers also check out f64 Academy and f64 Elite as you are a brilliant educator.

  • @GlennMcDowall-iv6gr
    @GlennMcDowall-iv6gr ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have been using this since Photshop 3. Its similar to one of the parameters you'd adjust on a drum scanner. Not only is it super powerful in combination with a mask. But I think it's probably one of the best tools to boost that slight dullness you get after conversion to CMYK. You only have to move the sliders a little to get back some of the RGB wow. I'm not sure I'd like the cyan slider showing red on the left of the Yellow_adjust because that's not going to happen. It's better to forget the RGB theory and think in terms of mixing paint with this filter.
    Thanks for all these videos after 30 odd years there's still so much more to be learnt. 😊

    One of the better explanations I have seen Blake as it can be hard to understand
    Sorry for the swearing ---- it's basically the same in Affinity Photo :)
    as with all adjustment layers, mask can be used to target certain parts of the image
    I was expecting a little info on the Whites/Neutrals/Black sliders -- handy with B+W as well as colour

    Wow, I'm always excited but slightly exhausted after these videos that focus on color. I really wish Adobe would color the CMY sliders like you do for these videos. Maybe some day the pairings (cyan-red, magenta-green, yellow-blue) will be automatic for me rather than a (smaller and smaller) speed bump. Sometimes I have to work my way back up the sliders as yellow-blue is easiest for me (from the temperature slider in editing apps?), then magenta-green (the tint slider?) and then I remember what is paired with cyan. I love the nerdy stuff, but sometimes it makes my head hurt.

    This is exciting, Blake! While my understanding of color theory is still growing, I still (as you know) struggle due to my color vision deficiency. In a way that is similar to your landscape cheat actions, I can successfully exploit these selective color actions without actually needing to correctly see or choose a color. f64 Elite is one of the best values in photography!

  • @romanosinski770
    @romanosinski770 ปีที่แล้ว

    In the example on the slide with magenta manipulation in selective color dialog box is not exactly right. If you reduce magenta percentage in magenta control tab it is more like a saturation reduction. It doesn't necessarily cause the magentas to become green. Results of selective color depends on overall color content in image. Your colour strips proposal may be confusing. Personaly I use selective color to reduce color casts from image or to achieve more vibrant color by balancing "unwanted color". For example, in greens I reduce magenta casts on flat areas but keep it in details.

    • @f64Academy
      @f64Academy  ปีที่แล้ว

      It really depends on relative vs absolute. But you are correct, it also depends on the available color within the image, if there are no magenta's it does nothing.
