*PERFECT* Color Saturation EVERY time - Vibrance in Photoshop CC

In today's lesson, I will teach you how to detect and avoid over saturation in your color images. Saturation is like salt, it's necessary for colors to pop, but too much of it or used in the wrong place and you can ruin your images rather quickly.

We are going to talk about a new technique I developed that uses the Vibrance Adjustment layer and the Difference Blend Mode. With this technique, you can assess your colors and use it to modify your saturation PERFECTLY!

Strap yourselves in, you are in for a treat!

Loads of Youtubers have explained the concept of your brain lying to you when doing these adjustments. Only 1 (that's you!) has shown a solution. Bravo!

[pixelocean]

He should be called Dr. Blake Rudis. Because this guy keeps on researching new things and somehow brings all the newest content to us. Things that no one would ever tell you even if they knew.

[ContentCreatorOnSteroids]

I’ve been working with Photoshop for more than 2 decades and still regularly watch tutorials to stay sharp and I just want to tell you that you’re one of the best instructors I have ever come across. Love your process and the way you explain things and I look forward to digging through all of your videos. Thumbs up and subscribed! Respect.

[moritzathaher]

Yes, I find best method to check saturation now, thank's Blake!

[suspendedhatch]

I’ve always been pretty good at this. But as you said, you can’t trust your eyes and your brain especially when you’ve been looking at something for a long time. Now that I’ve stumbled into your video, I have a methodology and a reality check to boost my ability and confidence. Can’t wait to see what else you can teach me about color. Thank you sir!

[artistwithcameras]

I always learn something from Blake on every video. IMO throw in a few more ads in your videos it’s worth it.

[johnmehalick]

Thanks' I have been always going to the negative side of saturation on my landscapes!

[rlfisher]

Masterclass. Liking the trimmed beard.

Really Thanks you, it's the first time I have really understood how vivrance works in Photoshop and it's very interesting

[crisletourneau]

You, sir, are brilliant. And generous. Thank you so much.

[gordonkako]

Brilliant video! Really helps me sort out the issue I have been having with photos looking well saturated on the laptop and under saturated on my iPhone. The vibrance adjustment layer the solution.

[pauloricardoferreira]

Great tips, Mr. Rudis! I'll try this on my future treatments. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards from Rio de Janeiro/Brazil.

Blake! It works perfectly with curves too! I just tried it! Wow!

[grosema]

As Alway's Worth the watch ....Thanks

[hectoralicea]

WOW! This is amazing! Great tip. I get perfect saturation every time. Your videos are amazingly useful. Thank you very much.

During the first half of this video, I felt like I was sitting in my graduate school 'Theory of Statistics' class - completely lost. It started to sink in and by the end, I'm going "ok" - now gotta go practice a lot! I like bright colors and tend to over-saturate. I think this technique will be very helpful.

[Jackleong]

Brilliant. You have made something subjective objective!

[brianbo]

I really appreciate when you show us techniques using the tools already in PS or ACR. I struggled with this at first. But after trying it out on a few images I think I am getting it.

[EduardoAgustin]

This was such a fantastic watch!! Thank you so much for explaining it in such a thorough and entertaining way! I'm understanding more and more how essential good color balance is to the overall aesthetic of my photography. I sincerely appreciate your videos!
