Harmonize Color and Control Contrast with the Tone Curve in Lightroom
This is video #7 in the Lightroom Tutorial Series for Food Photography where I go through the Tone Curve panel and discuss this idea of having more layers of contrast to work with in your edits. I also discuss two more hidden features within the tone curve that can dramatically change the look of your images, including the colors!
Hope it helps!
0:00 - What is the Tone Curve?
1:08 - Tone curve vs. Basic panel
1:57 - A question we should all ask in life
2:27 - The tone curve underneath the tone curve
4:01 - The 3 tone curve channels
5:34 - Using the RGB channels to create color contrast
7:01 - The full edit. Start to finish.
10:47 - Overview of full edit + before and after comparison
11:27 - Final thoughts

Disclaimer: This video was filmed BEFORE the new Lightroom update and I know the tone curve has changed since then, so there may be things I mention that are different now, but the core function of the tone curve explained in this video should still apply! And like always, I hope you find it helpful! Thank you again for watching my vids, it does mean a lot!
You're amazing! Even as a working photographer you're teaching me a lot that I can still improve on!

Wow it looks so simple, but it takes time to use tone curve without destroying white balance of the image :)
You're amazing!

Thank you for the great explanation. I was still wondering if the tone curve overrides the basic settings in the basic panel?
Love this guy

Hey. @figandlight love the voice quality of the video. May i Know which mic are you using here? and and you doing any audio post processing.
👏👏👏
Thank you so much for this detailed explanation... I really think you should publish an online course on platforms like udemy.

Thanks Sagar! And I have looked into Udemy, but have decided to create a course on my own website instead! Perhaps when I launch my own, I can look into branching out onto a platform like udemy.
