What's your favourite tool in Lightroom? OR What's a tool you wish you knew more about?

Probably the best instruction of “how” color grading actually works versus just pushing sliders around. Excellent tutorial and delivery.

[rachelhampton]

This is what a tutorial should be! The back to the basics, as easy as possible to explain, makes it simple to follow and even easier to try and execute on your own. Thank you for this!

Anthony - I'm a beginner with Lightroom, and have discovered that while there are lots of useful YouTube channels, most assume a certain amount of prior knowledge, and that creates a real barrier for someone new to the field. This is hands-down the best video I've seen in terms of explaining the basics. I wasn't really sure how colour grading differed from the RSL adjustments until I saw your explanation here. You strike the perfect balance (not easy to do I think!) - beautifully clear, really well expressed. Thanks so much!

Hands down the best tutorial on colour grading on YouTube. So well explained and demonstrated.

[MrPrideMokhele]

I appreciate you actually explaining the technicalities of how color grading works before you started editing photos. I've been looking for that. Thank you.

Great tutorial! Thank you for that!

A video on the tone curves would be cool!
What I find really hard in Lightroom is how all the different tools work together. I mean, there are so many ways to achieve what you want. For example, making the whites darker: you could use the basic panel, the tone curve and even the grading tools. If you could explain this, I think this might be a very helpful tutorial for a lot of us :)

Colour grading has always been a bit of a mystery to me. After watching, I feel a better understanding and purpose of this tool. Appreciate it! Love the shorts, that’s how I first discovered your channel. Keep being you 🔥

[kevoneworld]

These are amazing tutorials. Please keep going with this series, you’re great at explaining and showing examples to easily understand.

This is the best instructional video on color grading I've found (and I've watched a lot). Masterful delivery, and ingenious method of using a monochrome gradient to show what everything means. THANK YOU!

[arishadashkoff]

This is, by far, the best tutorial I've ever watched! You are amazing! Going into such detail, yet it is so dynamic, clear, concise and very charming! THANK YOU!!!

[misha]

A big thank you, Anthony. You have described the Color Grading panel so that it makes sense to me, and I can see how and when I might want to use it.

[bettinademiguel]

At last! searching and searching and at last someone has explained the color wheels SO WELL! A must see to understand color wheels. The global wheel will be so important for my future editing. Well done Anthony!

[OttoRascon]

Thank you for this in-depth explanation! I've never seen anyone go into the color grading tool like this ❤

[ivanmendez]

Well, a newbie here on photo editing and this by far one of the best tutorial I have seen. Super simple breakdown, the visual feedback while you are doing it and how it changes, love it! Thank you!

[NeoMullen]

Great video! I struggled for a long time with colour grading. Especially your last example with the forest stood out for me. I finally get how photographers get these moody colours in their landscape photos. Thank you :)

[RobBrens]

I mostly graded using the wheels but just by changing to sliders on each individual wheel, it totally changed how it "feels" and my photos are so much better. Cheers for this!

[jackconyers]

This was an excellent deep dive into color grading! Super helpful!

[Adi-edly]

the learning method you've used with the gradient is just brilliant

[Strummingphysio]

Just love the way you break down points and simplify it, so that everyone understands it. Thank you so much. Huge shoutout from Sri Lanka
