Tip: If you press the "Alt" key and move around the tone curve it reduces the sensitivity of the cursor, so you are able to make small changes easier

Love the idea of all colours being proportionately increased, rather than just the dominant hue!! Lends to a much more natural image in my opinion. Thanks Mark!

As an aside, if you grind up a leaf and extract with alcohol, simple chromatography (a process that can separate mixtures of unique pigments) you can see yellow, orange and green components). The tool you show essentially electronically responds to the individual components in the leaf. Cool!

Excellent presentation. I avoided using the tone curve because I didn’t understand it. Now after your presentation I see how it can really benefit my editing. Thanks

Good stuff, I always learn something from your videos. Thank you, keep them coming!

Fantastic is always Mark! I knew about the HSL/Color one, but I had no idea you could do it in the tone curve as well. That's very interesting! Thank you for another great video!

Thanks Mark! I love your instruction methods! Love this video; there are so many parts of lightroom that I forget about; nice to be reminded of them. :)

Thanks Mark! Another more great tips to make me produce better pics. I can't wait to use this one.

Nice job, I need to remember to play with this, and I like the tone curve explanation too!

Good stuff, Mark. The only downside to me is that they're global adjustments. I wish you could constrain them within a mask. I usually jump over to Photoshop and use the TK panel to make these type of adjustments in very targeted areas of the image.

Lightroom now has Curves within masks (as of April 2023). Our prayers have been answered!

Really excellent. Short sweet and enlightening. This is the subtle tool I have been looking for. The tiniest changes in hue and saturation can make all the difference in mood.

thanks! everytime I watch you , I learn something new. I feel my images took a step up using the Mist Filter, and in other the Calibration blue adjustment. Now this. Thanks!

I love this! You just levelled me up! Thanx

Learned something new and useful as usual. Going to check it out now. Thanks.

I thought this video was super helpful!!!! To be able to see the process behind the scenes and get a better idea of timing and everything and you process is awesome! I’d be fine to see il even more detail and have the video be even longer! :)

Thanks Mark - Love the info here. It's a game-changer for me!

That’s a great tip and technique Mark, I had noticed previously in my own editing that yellow is a very prominent colour when at first glance we often think we are seeing green especially in trees, foliage and grass etc, so much so In fact that many times the percentage of green is much lower than it appears! 👏👍😀

This is wonderful. Thank you so much for your brilliant instruction.

Great video as always Mark. I'd seen the selector tool in HSL but I hadn't noticed it in the tone curve. Thanks for revealing it

I was fully aware of the adjustments you explained in the HSL panel and use them constantly in my real estate photography. However, I didn't know about the other one in the tone section. So, thanks! Blue is a dominant colour in real estate interiors as it controls the amount of white you see, but it also contains aqua, magenta, and sometimes purple. You would never see this combination of colours if you didn't use the tool, as explained. Good video.

Great teaching as usual!
