I love this technique. Thank you for sharing. I have already improved several of my photos while I was watching this video.

That’s a great way to quickly give images a burst of color!! I have never seen that done before. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!!

That was fantastic! Would love to see you apply this to portraits

Thanks for teaching a new method to pop the images, expecting more like this episode

Awesome, great to hear!

Great video as always, Matt. I usually do the global adjustments in LR (or Camera Raw) and the specific adjustments in PS. It's the way I work faster. In LR, to enhance color, I first use the blue channel in the Calibration panel. I noticed something that might be important, especially for those who are not used to editing with masks: controlling the opacity, flow, and smoothing of the brush.

@MattShannonPhoto

Thank you! My work flow is basically the same as yours, global adjustments in LR and then throw it into PS for the detail work. I've used Capture One and I liked it, but most of my work is done in Adobe software including Premier Pro for video, Bridge for organization, After Affects when needed and a few more. So... LR will have to do considering the all-in-one package I pay for. I do like how adobe works well with other adobe software, Bridge to LR to PS and back to LR, and their printing adjustments are easy to use when printing at home both in LR and PS. I'm sure Capture One is good too but I never got to that state when I used it.

@@MattShannonPhoto I completely understand and agree that the workflow in LR is much more fluid. However, not all adjustments are available when using masks, which is a little bothersome.

totally. Adobe could slam it all into one program im sure but that isn't good business for them.

The image of the milky way over Venice at 9:33 really cracked me up! Thanks for the entertainment.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your technique.

Damn, that was excellent. I've been struggling with my edits to get them to look like what you see all over the internet from the Pros. I'm more of a LRC person, but I know just enough PS to be dangerous. This makes me want to try them out in PS! Incredibly helpful, thank you.

60% of the time, it works every time. but seriously, it works.

Finally a use for colour grading in light room. Thanks for tips on a feature I have been completely ignoring.

Thanks for walking through these steps. I tried the technique on a few of my photos, and now the photos really pop. It took awhile to get used to the steps and adjusting the colors but in the end, it worked!

Greetings and thanks from Germany. Very helpful procedure. Above all, the creation of masks is no longer necessary. I was able to transfer the steps to GIMP 2.10.38. Thanks, I will now look at my photos again against this background.

Def bookmarking this video. Super helpful!

I find that masking with sharpness and inverse masking with blur really does a number

@@devo5566 Oh no, perhaps I made it look too easy in the video when really it takes a lot of time and practice. Make sure your brush's opacity and flow isn't set to 100% or else your going to add too much Dodge and Soft Light to the image all at once. You can change the flow and opacity at the top of the PS page when you have the paint brush selected. Hope that helps 🙂

WOW…THANK YOU, Matt..I have never done this type of editing…I do have the tablet and love it over a mouse…can’t wait to try these tips out Thanks again!

Great video, thank you. I do basically the same thing color dodging and burning with a luminosity mask but I like this method. I use ACR so used your color grading method in ACR and then tried it on a second image when I took the image into PS to finish. Very similar results using both methods but do like PS better. Quicker than using luminosity masks.

Good morning, I just tried the photoshop version, and it's just so good! My only doubt was how to apply more whites to a snowy mountain scene? The rocks really were enhanced with the bluish layer! Thank you very much, and regards from Uruguay.

Thank you and so glad this popped up in my feed. I immediately put it to work and I'm loving it. I had just learned (stumbled on) the Lightroom way but like the Photoshop process better. I don't really use PS....need to utilize it more.

Wow! A blessing of a lesson!

I recently found the colour grading wheels in Lightroom, and promptly ruined all my golden hour shots by making the highlights and midtones very yellow/orange. I hadn't thought about adding blue to the shadows before, which would most likely help with balancing the colours in the highlights.

Excellent!!

Thank you for making this informative tutorial. I see a tremendous amount of potential after I learn some of these basic skills to enhance my photography. Some of the photos I know are decent compositions, however, a bit lackluster due to over/under exposed and being in my infancy.

Great tutorial. Never thought of this. I'm a Capture One user, primarily due to way Lightroom handles Fuji Raw files. Will try to replicate and see how things go. Thinking colour grading and wheels, similar to Lr is the best place to start experimenting!

Great video, awesome detail thank you. Can I ask on the Brushes... opacity, flow, etc used please? thanks

Great video. I'll be trying this in photoshop. Would you not use the mask features in lightroom to paint the effects in a similar way that you did in photoshop instead of just using the grading section?

Do you vary/change the aspect ratio of each image based on final product? Or, do you just shoot at the default Z9 aspect ratio and crop later for final product?

Would you always use the same 2 colours for every image?

@MattShannonPhoto

Ай бұрын

The Venice shot is a composite. I took multiple images and different shutter speeds and ISO settings. My goal was to show the two techniques I shared in the video so I had all the steps done prior. The file would have been huge too if I was working on the RAW images, so that is why all of the images were jpg for a faster workflow to share the two steps. I hope that makes sense, and thank you for watching. cheers!

Hi Matt, I think you're simulate the classical Teal&Orange concept. In C1 I created some presets for it. Very helpful!

Amazing! Why weren't we taught this stuff in school...lol

Thanks for sharing! Just wonder why the Venice imaged you used in LR is a jpg?

If youre using both Lightroom and photoshop in your workflow do you use the photoshop technique to replace the color grading step in Lightroom? If so which do you do first? Photoshop technique first? Or Lightroom adjustments (minus color grading) and then photoshop technique? Thanks!
