There is ONLY MONO SOUND HERE (my mistake🤭) - SOLUTION: For Windows: go to Start menu // Settings // Ease of Access // Sound // Turn on Mono audio. After watching the video just turn it back off. Or use VLC on your computer (Windows, Mac, Linux) and change the output mode in the player.

ENJOY AND SHARE THE LOVE ❤️ !!!

This is literally the best course I've ever seen on Color Theory and color harmony. Excellent.

Feels so weird being able to watch this for free!

I am 50 years old. Never had the funds to go to art school. After years of trying to understand colors on my own to move from my black and gray drawings, I gave up, until today. Thank you so very much for this video. Thanks for the hard work you put into creating this for us. Today I have decided to give it a try again thanks to you. I never thought that a video targeted at photography would help me understand color the way you have helped me understand. Thank you a million times. Your photography work is amazing by the way.

"I'm not a very technical person"... proceeds to give the most technical explanation of color theory the world's ever seen.

this is Pro-level training, Thank God for youtube and the utmost gratitude to the author for sharing this premium content.

[RondaBirtha]

I’ve studied and taught color theory for decades. This is among the best delivery, content, and context I’ve experienced on the subject. Great job.

Finally! A video on colour grading that doesn't just say, "this is why you want teal and orange and here is how you do it".

Thank you!!

[lexindigital]

This is the GOD level of presentations. Opened my eyes yesterday, watching it for a second time now.

Its nice to see that instinctively some of the things I was doing with colours, especially workflow in photoshop - it was almost the same! Time to step the game up.

THANK YOU! This was priceless. Best accidental find on Youtube to date!

[ThomasKobrick]

I'm going to watch this every morning until I can recite it back from heart. This is an unbelievably generous resource, and I echo other comments that it's the most organized and information-packed lesson on color theory and grading that I have ever seen. I literally choked up watching it as I feel like I've been given the keys to the palace. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[ravirajans]

Seriously is this thing free. This is legendary. All her life experience, this is lit. Who cares about audio. I don't give a damn. This topic this is sensational. Miracles happen and she made me understand a little even though I'm a dumb head.

Holy... this has tremendous density of good advice. Of course I heard about color wheels and color spaces before, but for the first time I understand why I should listen. And so much collateral advice, e. g. "don´t expose you eyes to mediocre color choices", which is basically "learn from the best" and resonates with my experience (for all kind of things). Thanks for sharing

[cinderellapoison]

My left ear now knows everything about the color grading. Thank you for a wonderful explanation.

[AjalaKingsGreenstream]

This is the best free course on anything i have ever watched.

[zhida]

The photographer looks good, has a good temperament, can talk, has a good voice, and the photos taken are beautiful and advanced

This was about 3 years of art school in roughly 120 minutes, absolutely fantastic content. Thank you so much

I've recently purchased two courses on colour theory/grading and ironically, this free Youtube video is by far the best...well done.

[jathyadharmasena]

Best lecture I've seen on youtube on photograpy. Killed many myths and doubts I had about photogphy and editing. This is truly a valuable webinar. It talks about art and pshchology than the tecnicalities of photograpy, which many others are more obsessed with. I think this is one of the first principles one should have right before producing media or content.

Hate the ppl who complain about minor matters. Should be thankful for making this available.

[manumathew]

This is the! Most appropriate free video available in YouTube so far in terms of colours. I watch it every now and then to memorise it. Quite in depth video about colour. You are very generous to share this with us. Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.

[Khaos]

I can't believe I'm getting all this valuable information for free!!!! And in such a beautiful presentation! Thank you so much!!!!
