In this week’s episode, we discuss Lightroom's darkest photo editing secret and how you can unlock the power of this incredible yet mysterious editing tool. What's so interesting about this tool is that it isn't something that was just added to Lightroom. It's actually been available for years, but the name of this tool along with the confusing nature of it has turned this into one Lightroom's most least used features. In this video, we'll unpack the wizardry behind the Calibration Tool, how it works, and how you can drastically improve your landscape photos by using this feature. I hope you enjoy this week's episode and as always thanks so much for watching! - Mark D.

Mark, this has been most eye-opening for me. I found myself opening old images and playing with HSL and Calibration. The effect was mesmerizing.
Glad you enjoyed it Roger!
This is one of the most useful tools I have ever seen when it comes to editing landscapes. I never knew how to use the calibration sliders and you made the difference between the calibration and HSL sliders much clearer for me. I went back and redid some older photos and what a difference. Just brilliant! Thank you.
Hi Mark, Thanks for this great video and introducing this new tool (for me) for color editing. I am excited to try this out on my past photos as well as new ones. I appreciate all of the wonderful videos you share with your followers!
What a brilliant video and, yes, haven't seen it talked through anywhere else! Digitising old slides and was using white balance, curves and HSL. Works a lot of the time but this provides a very good alternative where other methods fail or are overall short on result. Defintely added to the workflow options. AND understand it as well. Thank you! Now subscribed.
This was GREAT! I've never thought of these in terms of local vs. global, but that's a GREAT way to think about it! So much fun to play with these and this helped me understand them much more. THANKS!!
Thanks Mark! So glad I "ran across" this video - I have been editing my images for years and never even knew about using the calibration and HSL tools! I will start using these in the future and thanks again!
Hi Mark, I think this has been some of the best information that will improve editing for myself & alot of others! Absolutely fantastic.
That's one of the most concise explanations I've seen on how Calibration works. Nicely done Mark!
Dang, you knocked it out of the park with this one! I like how you got right into it, no intro etc. Well done throughout. Thanks.
Thanks for putting out these very helpful videos!! They have helped me so much!! This video was fantastic!!
Thank you, thank you. This is the best help, I had in years. It is so much fun to play and unlock the beauty of old pictures.
Wonderful, I’ll try this to see the impact on twilight photography. I came across your channel recently & find your videos so useful! You’re able to speak down to my level without making me/us at my level feel awkward. I learn with every video. Thank you.
This was some great information to know about. I look forward to seeing how this works out for future photos. Thank you
This is the best explanation of how these two sections are different that I have heard! Very informative and helpful.
Excellent video. I started using the calibration tool when you demonstrated it in a previous video, as I'd always avoided it thinking it sounded a little too technical. It completely changed the way I approach colour in my editing.
My primary use for this tool is to get good separation between my hues in a photograph so that the individual elements in become clearer. I find this is extremely useful for scenes where there is a lot of the same colour e.g. woodland, where all the greens can merge into one indistinguishable blob. For me the hue sliders really bring out the differences between individual plant species that would otherwise be lost if some tweaking wasn't done.
Thank you for yet another gem of a video!
def the best video and explanaition i have watched on the calibration tool. it made so much more sense to me now. thank you so much. much love from Germany
Oh my goodness, Mark! I've been using LRC for years but have never understood the Calibration section. Your video is crystal clear and I understand it perfectly! You are a talented teacher who demonstrates the features using different examples. Thank you!
Mark outstanding video. Things you show I never knew. Looking forward to future videos.
Thank you so much for this! great video and well explained
Wow! Thanks for a great video. I had been playing with this some, but your explanation is awesome!
This is fabulous! I've been using LR for years and never under stood the calibration panel. Now, thanks to you, I've got a pretty good handle on it. THANK YOU!!
I have never used this feature, but wow, this video was a game-changer for me. I struggled with editing some fall shots from a couple of years ago, but just edited one of them in about 10 seconds. I also really appreciate you using the simple color swatches to explain this, as that helped explain editing colors better than anything else I have seen.
Also, “solo mode” is amazing, so another takeaway from this video. I just subscribed and am looking forward to discovering other gems on your account.
Wow! Thank you for explaining this so very well! Can't wait to put it into action!!
This was absurdly helpful! I have played around with the calibration section, but really had no clue what I was doing. Now I feel more confident approaching it again!
Thanks Mark for sharing this... It's one of the most useful Lightroom tip I've seen on TH-cam. It is more than a tip with all your explanations and example. Well done !!! I learnt something new and really useful.
Very informative video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Great video Mark! I have also been using calibration in LR for a long time but never really seen it explained this way. Thanks for the breakdown 🙂
This is a great tip. Always overlooked this feature but after watching this vlog I gave it a try with an image I'd previously disregarded and what a difference it made. Thank you, this is certainly one tool I'll be using more often
Just came across your channel and this video was eye opening! Thank you 🙏
It's really helpful! Thanks for sharing.
Great tutorial Mark and congratulation,s on 200k subscribing, well done, keep up the good work.
Thank you for explaining calibration in Lightroom! I mainly learn by visual and this video was perfect. I was avoiding the calibration section because all this time I thought it was for calibrating the colors of my monitor when I have the Spyder monitor calibrator. I always love watching your videos and learning more and more. I greatly appreciate you.
One of the best explanation of the LR calibration section. I didn’t know about solo mode either. Thanks, I love forward to the next video.
Yet another fantastic video! I'm glad you went back and touched on this again. I remember the video you done about this not to long ago. Thank you Mark! It's something I don't use but I really need to start. You're the man Mark!
Thanks a million Brandon - really appreciate it!
Okay now this is a game changer ! Thank you so much for takign the time to explain and showcase this section that I never care much about in LR. That's the 2nd vid that I see of you and that's really usefull, you've got your self a new follower dear sir !
Thanks man very helpful tip!! ❤️
Thanks, Mark. What a great enlightening on calibration! I must say this is what's been missing from edits compared to my mind's eye, and only because I didn't realize the difference between the HSL and Calibration sections which has had me avoiding the calibration sliders for years... until now. Cheers! :D
This is brilliant! Thank you so much.
This was the best explanation of calibration I have seen. Awesome! Thanks!
Great description of the global and local differnces between calibration and HSL! Many thanks.
Thank you for this video, Mark. This is the reason why I subscribed to your channel, I am continuously learning instead of wanting to buy photography products.
Thanks!!! Great video, really helped clarify the difference between Calibration and HSL.
This was one of your best videos in LR. Thanks for the analogy of global/local (Calibration/HSL). Makes perfect sense now.
Thakns so much for the feedback Chris! Really appreciate it!
I learn a lot from your videos. But this one is really special. It's going to change how I PP in Lightroom. Thanks Mark!!
The only one that didn't work for me was the last one. The sky got weird very fast. In fact all that magenta in the original photo itself was too much. I think maybe masking that portion out while making the adjustments might work.
Fantastic tips - thanks, Mark!
I've been confused about the calibration section for a long time. But no longer! Thanks so much for this very clear explanation and demonstration, Mark!
Great explanation! Thank you so much, now I understand how it works!!!
Wow! Thank you for sharing
Outstanding video.. You explained sooo many things i have been struggling with in LR, in such an easy and understandable way.
Thanks so much this is got me going back through images!!! This is a simple game changer.
Really good video love the way you explain !! Subscribed!
Great video Mark. Thanks for the help.
What a marvellous video, Mark. Thanks ever so much - I had no idea what the the calibration tool actually was and certainly not how to use it. You explained it all beautifully - thanks again.
This is outstanding. Thank you!
This was just at the right time for me. Was feeling a bit stagnant in my editing and this is a huge help! Thanks Mark
Glad to do it Nick!
Really good demonstration of the difference between the HSL and Calibration panels, Mark! It is good to be reminded of the power of the Calibration panel. Thanks,
This is a session I would liked to have found earlier, much earlier. Thanks for the great explanation.
Wow! I had no idea those sliders would be so useful and effective. Watched a couple of your processing videos now and you got me to subscribe because you explain things so well. But also because of the way you say "ornge"! ;)
Wow, this is the most useful Lightroom tip I've ever learned! Great explanation Mark. I can't wait to try this on all my photos! 👍
Your best video yet! Your deliberate, accurate use of terms along with multiple "before and after" and "oh by the way..." (pointing out related LR features, shortcuts or tips) makes all the difference for slow learners like me. Keep it up!
Awesome to hear this Keith - thanks man!
Wow. This was eye opening! Very well explained.
Without a doubt, the best LR tutorial I’ve ever seen. Please do more like this one. Thanks!
Those are a set of sliders I've never touched before in Lightroom... you learn a new thing every day. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your ongoing tips for using Lightroom…it is much appreciated. Would love to see you out in the field again with more composition videos.
Thank you! Be sure to check out the video 2 weeks ago:)
Cheers Mark. So useful and you put it over in such an easy to understand manner (as usual). 👍
Thank you for sharing this information
Thanks for the info mark. I have never explored that tool very much.
This calibration setting is literally the only thing that has been missing from my editing process. wow thank you so much
Mark, I was struggling with the color adjustment is some air to air photos. I followed the advise in this video and was able to get the correct hues for the pictures. Your advice is spot on and thanks for sharing it with us.
Very informative! Thanks!
Thanks Mark for this video! Really helpful!! I just tried this and the results is a even more crazy with b&w photos!
Very well expained Mark, works a treat.
Thanks Mark, Great tips, going try this tomorrow on some of my images.👍🙂
This is a very informative video. Many thanks, Mark.
Great tip! Thanx for sharing!!!
Mark, this the most informative tutorial about calibration tool in lightroom. I was struggling to adjest hue section but you explain it so easy way. Thanks 🙂 🌹
Fantastic video. Clears a lot of doubts 🙏
This video was so insightful. Thanks a lot, Mark.
I am admired by the precious work. Subscription added
Great explanation - thank you
I learn a lot more of this calibration thanks for this video..goodluck & more tutorial to come.have a nice day.
Great advice, going back to old images now. Thanks Mark.
I just re edited some pictures I was really satisfied with. The results are stunning. Thanks a lot for these tips!
Great job explaining the calibration feature 👏
i got a much cleared idea on the calibration- very well explained 👌
Wow. You’re explanation was extremely articulate and concise!
Adjusting the calibration at the beginning is the game changer for me. I'll definitely try it out! Very nice video. Thank you.
I think this has "resonated" with me too! very informative, thank you
Absolutely fantastic, thank you for helping this amateur to make my images look better!
Thank you. Very helpful !
thank you so much for this lesson. Having hard time how to process my landscape photos to look great and finally i found your tutorial. .
Thanks for teaching this.
I learned about the blue primary from a portrait photog many years ago who claimed it added a nice punch to most skin tones. I hardly ever photograph people but I've been using it for years for landscapes and boat images. Your description of the local / global results in the HSL vs primary channels is probably the best I've seen yet. Nice job.
Thanks so much!
Thanks Mark ! Amazing
Once again your topic for the week is explained very well with great examples. I like the Global and local description for the respective panels. I have been looking at Calibration as the panel for the heavy lifting when it comes to color in the image and the HSL is for the fine tuning. Thank you Mark.
Thanks for the great comment John!
clarified a lot thanks !!!
Mark, Great video it was very informative. I have been a follower for some time and I have gained a great deal information and have applied to my photography
great video, as someone who has been using lightroom for many years this is very eye opening, as having something being a global adjustment has brought many of my photos to life, ive been using hsl for a long time and didn't really get the same effect as calibration gives. Very great information, you have got your self a new subscriber!
Yes, an ah-ha moment!! I had been using the calibration sliders occasionally before the OOC Smoky Mtn workshop, and after watching the processing demos use them all the time. Now I really understand what I'm doing! Thank you for this explanation, especially the relationship between the Calibration and HSL sliders.
Excellent, Mark. Thanks.
Very unique approach to color calibration and overall editing/grading photos using this method. Big Thumbs up! Thanks
