How I Color Grade my Raw Photos with Adobe Lightroom / Camera Raw

Показать описание
In this tutorial I’m going through my personal color grading process using #Adobe #Light (or Camera Raw).

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Below you'll find affiliates links to gear I personally use every day when photographing. These are products I believe in.

For the color grading I don’t like to do everything at once, but instead spread it over the whole editing process from start to finish. The first step of it usually begins with the adjustment of the white balance. Here you can set the mood, whether you want a warm or cold looking photo. This is followed by the adjusting of the saturation.

With the HSL tab you can do way more specific changed to every color of the photo. Here, I like to adjust saturations and try to remove unnecessary color tones. With the luminance you simply adjust the brightness of the chosen color. I usually use this setting to darken the sky (dropping the blue luminance). Meanwhile the hue tab is used to change the appearance of colors, so you could turn green into yellow / orange.

My favorite part is by far the split toning section. This is especially helpful when working on sunset / sunrise images to make the warm colors pop and just give the whole image a much more vibrant look!

First colour grading lessons for landscape I've seen. Good to know I don't need to use presets. Thanks for sharing!

The calibration sliders target the RGB at the pixel level so you are saturating the colours at a very finer gradient than the HSL would. That only selects individual colours. Hope that explains how the calibration works and is very powerful and a much more finer way of saturating the image

This is informative, but I always see editors start with either already touched up photos or regrade an already graded pic. No one seems to start from scratch like immediately after the pic was clicked. Totally raw footage.

Very nice final look but I wonder why you pulled down saturation in the first place just to add it back in the calibration section. Furthermore I‘m surprised why you started with blacks plus 24 (wasn‘t explained). Especially in shots like this where there is a lot of air in between the camera and the subject the shadows are washed out anyway. So I’d rather pull down the blacks to recover them. Look at the histogram. It clearly shows that you lost quite a bit of your image in the shadows.

Nice video! It would be nice to see more in depth of your process in choosing the color grading. Do you basically just look at the picture and say the main focus is the most important colors and then tune them?

Does the Adobe Cloud version of Lightroom have the Calibration feature you used at the end of your video? I can't seem to find it. If not, is there a way to do it in Photoshop or the Nik Collection?

I'm colurblind, I tend to turn the sun green and blue skies purplish pink. So I try to stay away from color grading.

Thank you for your good tutorial. Question: Do you ever have problems (pixel degradation, banding, artifacts...) when adjusting the HSL sliders to the extreme ends? Thank you.
