@@AlexArmitage @b.lew_photography I'm blown away.

Pushing all the colors in the calibration tool way up and then fine tuning with the HSL tool seems to open a lot more possibilities since the HSL tool has so many sliders for different colors and one has control of hue, saturation and luminance in one convenient panel. I have wondered for a long time what the calibration panel was for but the Adobe literature was very vague. Thanks for your hard work!

Been using the calibration panel for years. I noticed long ago how it worked so much better because it's so subtle at adding color.

Awesome! Let me know how you like the results

Thanks, never used this and never seen anyone discuss it. Fascinating.

Excellent tutorial ! This will be an eyeopener to those discovering this powerful creative tool through this video.

I’m colourblind (reds/greens/blues) and really struggled with editing as my earlier images were really saturated, I would bump up the colour until I could see them pop but by that point it was way too much. Nowadays I do all of my local adjustments and then when I feel my image is finished I desaturate the whole image. This seems to have been working for me but obviously it will desaturate the whole image and not just specific areas etc. What you have just demonstrated will be so much easier for me to edit my images. Thanks

Well done, Alex, and thank you. That wasn't too many images and it wasn't too much information; it was just reinforcing the same principle as an aid to absorbing that information. You got the balance just right. Subbed. Now I'm off to turn the blue slider up in all my old edits...!

changing the value of the RGB pixels as a whole that make up the image instead of just changing that individual color. Each color in an image is made up of red, green, and blue. These adjustments effect every pixel on the image, not just the solid colors.

Interesting. I normally adjust my white balance slightly on the blue/cyan side using the colour balance tool with just the shadow and mid tones, leaving the highlights white. because I think colours pop better with more contrast, but I will give this a try.

Really appreciate this video man. Watched from start to finish, extremely helpful and insightful - will for sure be playing around with that blue hue!

I think you have to look out with your sky and maybe the white houses in your photo's got some more blue on it aswell. But if the colors need to be more realistic or accurate you can't just put that slider to 100%

@@AlexArmitage the calibration panel is primarily used in situations where colors must remain consistent between different cameras. Interestingly though, if you’ve ever used a color passport, the slider that always seems to increase in saturation is that blue slider. It makes me think that perhaps most sensors out there today slightly under saturate the blues for whatever reason...

I've been using LR since 1.0 and have been shooting food for the last 10 years. Color in food is very simple in the fact that there is really no interpretation, a strawberry is red, make it red. In the last 7 months I've gotten into landscapes and apart from landscape photography techniques being the polar opposite of food, my biggest struggle has been with editing landscapes in LR. I'm using and learning so much more now what it can do and honestly, this calibration video blew me away. I'm eager to go back and 're-edit' all the shots I've taken to this point, thanks for sharing.
