    🤯 Mind officially blown! For me, this improved my editing as adding to an image is easier than removing. Actually feels more natural. Awesome Video, Mark!

    Love this! I often shoot in a dark venue with crazy stage lighting. This will help with odd colors by taking control of what color I want where. Can't wait to try it!

    Thanks for doing this. I just did a couple of shoots, one for a band and the other for a solo artist. Everyone was looking for a heavy industrial look. I have been using a lot of different, traditional techniques but I’m excited to try some of the ideas you presented here.

    Wow, that’s a great tip. It makes a lot of sense and works so well. I’d been working from the other direction, toning down from full color. From now on I’ll be doing a 180 and toning up from B&W. 😎👍

  • @KLIIIING
    @KLIIIING 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    This is brilliant! When I started off learning lightroom I was taught to use edit exposure first, in BW to avoid interference and bias of colours, and do edit colours seperately afterwards. There's a lot I like with this process BUT I always felt overwhelmed by the drama the colors caused when going back to colour. Using the technique you present in this video totally removes that and allows you to add in the colors and refine them at the same time.
    Much appreciated Mark, will be using this moving forward!

    I had to go through my watch history and find this video to tell you the following.
    Removing the saturation from each channel and then adding it is the best way to color correct and grade.
    Now it is part of my workflow and I don't think it is ever gonna go away.
    Seriously, I feel very lucky and grateful to have watched this video.
    THANK YOU FOR SHARING. I really, really appreciated.
    I mean, I used to change the saturation for each channel starting from 50 and then changing the lightining and hue of each channel.
    But I have never tought to start from 0.
