Hey guys! I just wanted to point out that I mixed up my wording in this video, the highlights of the curve are actually the whites, and the whites of the curve are actually the highlights. So from bottom left: Blacks, Shadows, Midtones, Highlights and Whites are at the top right hand corner. I'm so sorry for the confusion!! 💛 Aside from my wording mistake, it all still works just as I explained it.

Brilliant instruction as usual. Thank you so much for posting these tuts of yours, Julia, really appreciate the production, work and effort.

I really love how straight you discuss this curves topic. This is the only video that I understand how to use curves in lightroom! thank you so much for this Julia! :)

Ugh i love these tutorials so much, I already know this but I just love the way you explain things and listening to you talk to passionately about it unlike other tutorials it’s so refreshing 🌸

At last someone that explained it. So simple, yet so hidden.

This was such a helpful video! Thank you for taking the time to explain each point on the curve. I feel that most YouTubers just rush through it, assuming that we all know what they're talking about. The difference between the before and after is just stunning!

Thank you so much for this! Recently I've been trying to figure out everything about the Tone Curve. I've gotten a pretty good grip of the basic Curve, but I would definitely love to see more about the color channels, since it's more of a foggy topic!

This is about the 10th tutorial I've watched on curves and it is literally the only one that has made sense to me! You have such an incredibly clear and simple way of explaining things. I would love love love a tutorial on the specific colour curves. Thank you so much for your time and effort! ❤️

I just paused the video to comment that you are one of the best in Lightroom tutorials. I'm a beginner photographer and I wanted to learn how to edit my photos. I tried Lightroom one week free trial, and it was so daunting at first because I had no idea what to do. And because of that, I wasn't so sure I'd get the subscription. But once I started watching your video, I gained a little bit of confidence. So thank you so much, Julia!

I love this tutorial! I have always wondered how to use that curve. 😄 especially like the mattening effect and the cinematic effect! Will definitely try this. :) Thank you so much!
