That's utterly brilliant! I am going back over loads of my old photos and having another go - it is totally changing the vibe! This has seriously changed how I am going about processing
🤯 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!
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!

Great comment
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. 😎👍
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.
what i loved about you, that you don't "sell presets" but you learn people very useful skills. thanks man... you are Amazing.
This has honestly revolutionised my editing. Being colourblind makes things super hard and this simplifies completely - thank you!
One of the best tutorials ever! Thanks man for amazing inspiration in all your videos 🔥
love seeing these type of videos, i like knowing why you make each changes. Love hearing the thought process. Please do more.
Love you man for this. This gave me a proper workflow for editing my photos. I had a serious problem with having unwanted colours in my photos. This works out so well for me.❤️❤️
This actually makes me excited! I've never thought about using the gray scale to color-correct on my photographs. Can't wait to try it out!
Excellent tutorials, I was looking for this technique for years, thumbs up!
Most photosophical video I’ve watched lately! Thanks for sharing, I’m definitely gonna try this!
Really good workflow, love your style of teaching, heading to NYC in May and will be doing more B&W shooting and also trying to mix things up a bit using the methods you show here.
I just spent the last hour editing three similar images while watching your easy to follow process and was very excited with the results. cheers
I like this type of editing. Never seen it before! Def gonna try this out in the future!
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.
Good tutorial. This is similar to graphic design principles, always design the artwork in black and white first so you have a strong base. Cheers, Mark :) - Brett

I've been doing photography for 2 months and all I see is how similar the principles are to Graphic Design.

Hi Mark, as in my music production, subtracting to bring out other elements as opposed to just adding and adding to try and achieve results is so important and delivers better results.
Wow! Thank you for the technique!!! Love the flow process, and applying them was soo easy and speeded up my color grading!
Thank you for that! This is a great technique! Happy you are there to make us all better!
Wow! Thanks for an awesome tutorial. I struggle with the artistic side of editing but you've just opened my eyes to a whole new world.

For me this opens a completely different way to work with my images, but by now it makes sense totally. I'm eager to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Surprising ! I always retouch my future B&W images in colour first before turning them to B&W but never thought about doing the reverse !! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, just wow. This is why I love photography. Thanks a lot. This really motivates me

This was inspiring to get back into photography and edit my shots.
This is genius! I never thought of it. But this technique will make it easier to see the balance.
Gave this a go for the first time this morning on some shots I took of my kids hunting for easter eggs and really enjoyed the results, thanks Mark, great vid.
Great presentation and bringing something new in thinking on processing
You have given me a totaly new artistic tool, thanks
One of my favorite colorists worked this way. Jais Thierry Lamaire colored some of the most iconic Music Videos and Commercials. He would switch back and forth between black and white and color during the session. The looks he achieved on skintone and contrast were amazing.
I had fun learning new things today. Thanks
This is AWESOME..thats a gem
wow! this tutorial made me the day!
Not seen this style of editing before, must give it a try :)
