U guys r the reason i am getting better at lightroom o my god thank you so much the best to the point tutorials 👍🏽👍🏽 keep up the good work

[otaythen]

I think it's worth mentioning that there's some inaccuracies here. lowering the red increases cyan. lowering the green increases magenta, and lowering the blue increases yellow. understanding the relationship between RGB and CMY is important, as well as the difference between the color curves the exposure curve (but lightroom automatically links RGB together, not really offering a seperate exposure curve. I'm nitpicking here but it can be a big difference when color grading in resolve or other programs)

Literally asking myself why am i in school for photo major if i can just learn all the skills from watching these guys. Literally the best video on YouTube hands down

[shaneanderson]

as a person that doesn't have lightroom, or even take photos. this was very informative. makes me want to start.

You guys have been by far my favorite photography channel. You guys keep things short and sweet yet go into detail all while keeping things simple. Tone curve is something that’s always been complicated to me but with this video it seems so easy now. Thanks for all your guys help!

[MangoStreet]

what else do you wanna know about the editing process?

[cole.parker]

Best example of the tone curve I’ve ever seen/heard. Especially on YouTube. You guys nailed it!

[bruce-le-smith]

the first 75 seconds of this were amazing alone, thanks for breaking it down to the absolute basics including a tour of panel, i find that really helpful. you folks make great content

[fotisfotopoulos]

Probably the best tone curve video out there. Right to the point with perfect examples. Thank you for this

[emilygrace]

Ohhh!! Thank you sooo much for uploading another new video over here on Youtube! I just can't afford supporting all the Patreon creators I would love to, but I can totally do so over here, by watching everyone's new uploaded content! For those of us just barely making enough to pay our bills at the moment, this is huge!! THANK YOU!!

[akozy]

Thanks for that tutorial! One thing that I've always wondered is why the Tone Curve is (or would be) more advantageous than just using the basic sliders?

[tourinojacks]

Another GREAT video by you two. Thank you for this extremely well presented tutorial! Gratzi muchozo!

[jamesss]

Just found you on YouTube & very very helpful. I’ve used Lightroom for about 5 years now (always finding out it’s functionality); but this is an area I’ve skipped over…. Now I’ll use it. I’ve just subscribed & Liked. Thank you for sharing

[MsShahbana]

Thank you! All makes sense now. This is such a great video to understand the curves.

[DeathByConfetti]

I always forget about the color picker and keep rediscovering it panel by panel because of videos like this. Never even realized it was in the Tone Curve space as well. Thanks for the video!

[shagadelicbeast]

I never knew you could do target adjustment on the tone curve. You guys make the best photo videos. I thought I was an expert I guess not.

[mrnothingtodohere]

I've really wanted to learn more about the tone curve. Thank you very much for this video.

[basman]

You should make a video on how you tether your photos and organize them when shooting products/modeling in the studio!

[MORTRAX]

The tone curve is amazing, because it doesn't introduce halo's like de basic sliders do. so do minor adjustments with the basic sliders, but it also depends what you're going for.

[aaronpeipert]

The tone curves are cool, also when grading video. Glad you told people to go easy on it, shiz can get out of hand very easily.
