They are similar but you can't choose between high mid and lows. Which you don't always need. If you're opening a RAW file, Its best to adjust color in the RAW setting first. To use to most color data.
Hi Kristoff! We have a couple of tutorials you might find useful: FREE phlearn.com/tutorial/place-anything-into-perspective-photoshop/ PRO phlearn.com/tutorial/perfect-composite/
Thank you Aaron, I appreciate your tip on Color Balance. I tend to overthink the values on color balance because we (as people, but not for everbody) take for granted what we see and we don't often realise how color is displayed but taking your tip on looking at the subject to see what looks natural while editing is a big, big help. I do have one question though, and color me ignorant for asking this but when you're editing a photo (it doesn't matter what it is), do you (maybe not you specifically), is it okay to ask your staff members to get their opinion on something to see if it looks at its best to give to a client? After all, we all see things differently.
Hey there, we're glad this video help! It's always helpful to get a second opinion, especially when working on something that will be presented to a client. It's a great way to ensure that the final product is top-notch and meets everyone's expectations.
@@phlearn Thank you Aaron, I appreciate your response. Part of me always believes that it is just a means of doing it yourself. But you've helped clear that up. Thank you again.
What about printing these images? How can you print the image to look like the image on the screen? I often see that my print images have more red. Could be a profile or screen issue?
Hey there! It might be a combination of screen calibration and paper profile. If you want to learn more about best practices for printing check out this video: phlearn.com/tutorial/photo-printing-tips-printlab/
4:26 Bruh she's still green. Too much green in the dark tones. 7:19 Thank God you noticed, it was obvious when put next to the other photos. I was like is he tripping or something
There is lack of local adjustments, without them global ones will create fake effects. When you get skin right in global adjustments then hairs, eyes or background will look off. :)
Local adjustments are definitely a powerful tool for refining color correction! The learning path below includes several in-depth tutorials for portrait retouching. If you have time check them out! phlearn.com/tutorial/learning-path-retouching/
Great video again! How would you compare using the colour balance tool compared to using level and adjusting the RGB individually like you did in this other video th-cam.com/video/zTuCTYbvxac/w-d-xo.html ? I guess some people might have a preference as a way to they work? Or There would be a detailed explanation for why one might be better than the other? Thanks in advance off you have time to respond!
Hey Alex! Both are valuable tools when it comes to color correcting your images. For some situations, you might use just one or the other. But they can also work together! Levels can set a good foundation, and then Color Balance can add some finishing touches.
Great tutorial as usual Aaron
As always, excellent information, Aaron!!
Thank you for the great tutorial, Aaron. Phlearn will always be my go to channel when I’m stuck with a mistake I made in camera. Thanks again, Aaron!!
you're welcome @mackenzielarue2775! keep phlearning!
Very useful Aaron, thanks!
Thank you very much Aaron!
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
What is the difference between doing this and doing color temperature changes via Camera Raw Filter, and balancing there with temp/tone?
They are similar but you can't choose between high mid and lows. Which you don't always need. If you're opening a RAW file, Its best to adjust color in the RAW setting first. To use to most color data.
Is it recommended to create an action for color balance and apply it to each photo to have the same look?
Another great tutorial - would like to improve my skills in placing my subject in perspective ;-)

Cool tut.. QUESTION: what is the best profile to work in when using Lightroom AND Photoshop???
Hey there! Are you referring to color profile or workspace?
Out of curiosity, why use color balance rather than white balance?
Solid advise.
Thanks!
great!
