Great video and nice to see what you came up with in the end! Nice touch by having images similar to showcase them, as that's a great comparison! It's always fascinating for me to hear what others thoughts on my images are and how they think they were edited. You'd be surprised that much of what you mentioned wasn't exactly how they were done lol. The biggest one I'll point out is the first image with the yellow cab. That photo for years has always been one that everyone gets incorrect. The original of that actually wasn't overexposed in the highlights! I've shared the original of that somewhere a while ago, just to show that the clouds and detail was there before I ever touched it. 😊 This is where the lenses plays a big role. In post you're 100% correct on my usage of highlights but not on the whites. The whites are actually increased! This is done because in lowering the highlights it darkens the area and the whites adjustment is used to bring the brightness back in the highlighted areas - keeping the exposure equal to the rest of the image. This is also the same for shadows and blacks. Shadows are opened up while blacks are decreased. The image was also not exposed for the shadows and actually was exposed just normally. No under or over exposure took place there. The one of Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) actually doesn't have much clarity on there to make a difference from not having it. That's just how the image was! Of course, it depends on the image to how much is applied but typically I don't really add as much of this often as many may assume. The detail is just so much because of how close I captured the photo. When I increased luminosity in the colors themselves and applied more contrast this gave it that look (not clarity). The Amsterdam image (of the lady in the window) the camera calibration was completely different! I actually didn't adjust saturation for the reds at all and the blue is actually desaturated! To get this look I actually am not obtaining them from this and I just use the main color adjustments in Lightroom. Calibration really doesn't give you this kind of adjustment alone and is heavily on the specific adjustments in HSL and Color Grading. I appreciate you taking the time to analyze and try to understand my work methods and how I produce my signature look. My look has so many intricate details to it than most would ever think exists in them, but it's all from starting with 1 look and remastering that over the years to create over 3000 new ones from that 1. I'd encourage you to take the presets you created based on my style and revisit them often to remaster them. They're very good presets and think they can be expanded upon! There are quite a few things very different from me in your presets, but they give something different from what I do which is wonderful. This was wonderful to watch and great to view what someone sees in my work through their own vision and see what they can create! 🥹 PS: The graphic thumbnail for this video is amazing! My thumbnails should look like that 🤭
Great tutorial. Do the varients stack their color grading on top of the base preset? I noticed when you add the base preset, make adjustments, and then add the variant, it maintains the base + adjustments and just changes the colors. How do you achieve this? Do you only save the color grading when saving the variants so they don't touch anything else?
thank you tone... I am going to practice this a lot... although I do have a doubt... in the green variant did you keep the global colour in colour grade to warm or removed the warm colour from it?
Fantastic guide. I just started editing my photos instead of leaving them as is, and I really appreciate you showing the entire workflow and thought process from a base template to the finished preset. Your presentation is also spot on. That's an instant sub 🙂
Thank you Sir Tone for another wonderful session of color grading, indeed we all are learning a lot from you.🥰 I'm from the Philippines and being in a tropical country we usually have bright sunlight most of the time, if you may, can we possibly have a light and airy type of editing/color grading on any artist/photographer you prefer Sir? I would really appreciate it much. Thank you so much in advance and more success on your chanel.🥰
hey my brother can you analyze and edit like Dgphotoholic... he is also portrait street photographer and he have presets his own website and youtube channel thank you for shareing your videos i learning lot of thing.
He posted on his Instagram stories a link to this video and also included screenshots of his reply under this video saying he enjoyed the breakdown but then broke down each photo and what he actually did.

Another great video. I am getting a lot of use out of your explanation and you have definitely managed to change my approach to color grading.
Nice one once again! Geat job.
Thanks, Giannis!

Wow.. thanks for teaching us. Very nice results.
Thanks for sharing. Great video

Did you delete the comments from Professor Hines? I don't see them 🧐
What comments?
He posted on his Instagram stories a link to this video and also included screenshots of his reply under this video saying he enjoyed the breakdown but then broke down each photo and what he actually did.
Found it! It was marked as spam. I don't delete comments, unless they're just spam or trolls.
@@ToneFuentesENG wow clearly TH-cam's spam filter isn't that great. Glad you found it though!
Recreate Fredrik Axling style!
Jerome Hoffmeister 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Another great tutorial!
Would love to see you break down and analyze @tobiasmantaray’s style in the future!
I did it last year. Look for it on my channel or the "Edit-Like Series" Playlist.
