@@Luke..luke..luke.. that's not what he meant. He was saying that for these videos it's crucial to actually watch it with your eyes to take in all the information, and that merely listening to it wouldn't suffice.
@@jamiewindsor Honestly, it's the thing that differentiates if from just a regular talk about color I've seen so many times. I think it's a very good idea to put more of those little technical explanations, especially when it isn't that complex to present. Additionally, it all came together in the end, because you showed how to work with complementary colors, not against them in HSL which was a key point of intro. Love your content! :)
@@jamiewindsor I also really appreciated this. I've been using the calibration panel for a while without really fully understanding what I was doing so this was super useful.
I spent a fair while thinking my EOS R didn't have as good colours as my 5D until I worked out that Lightroom wasn't applying the profiles from the camera.
Hey Jamie, I just wanted to leave a comment to say that you are my favourite RU-vidr hands down. Calling you just a RU-vidr feels like a disservice somehow. Your videos are clearly made with a lot of passion and hard work and it shows because everything is so well thought out and well, incredibly enjoyable to watch! I leave every single video feeling revitalised about photography and inspired to keep creating and pushing myself to do better. Thanks !
When you showed the bonus tip about changing to Camera Settings, my jaw literally dropped... No wonder it never looked right when I imported my photos! Thank you for that!
Me, being the hardest person to concentrate on stuff, specially RU-vid tutorials, I really love how you animate your videos to keep attention. Great job, Jamie!
Jamie, I hope you realize you have by far the most useful photography advice on this platform. Seriously. I cannot believe this content is free. Thank you for all your hard work :)
This quite literally changed how I approach grading ALL my photos and have given me a sense of excitement in photography that I didn't know was possible. Thanks for taking me back to school, Jamie. Always good to revisit design fundamentals.
I don’t know how to thank you 🙏 for this piece of information, I have been looking for this from past three years. You made it so simple for me, than you so much.
I've watched several videos on color grading is this by far the best one I have seen. You did such a great job, I love how you showed the color changes on the color wheels and then on the images, made everything so clear and relatable. Thank you for explaining all this and taking the time to put together such a great video!
Anther brill video, as a degree student doing photography, I enjoy how you discuss other photographers styles and their concepts. This gives us a starting point and inspiration. Also, the technical advice is easy to follow and not too complicated. Cheers again.
Here for the Calibration explanation and it was on point. Thank you. I think that for editing portraits I like more C1 but for this kind of color adjustments LR its definitely better. Good to know what tool to use for what. Thanks again!
I am a big believer in Capture One, especially for Fuji files, but that calibration feature is one big reason I’ll never fully abandon Lightroom. C1 really needs to implement that feature!
Really helpful when you get a new view of colour theory. Also calibration v HSL. Thanks. I use Darktable it has a calibration module, which is new but works really well once you understand it.
Never really got the difference between HSL and Calibration. Now I understand the power of playing with the calibraition ! Thank you for sharing your knowledges !!!
Color calibration is called on affinity photo selective colors - something I’ve always ignored. As soon as I’d finished your vid I checked affinity with crossed fingers. Game changer.
You can achieve what you are doing with the Calibration tool in lightroom, very well and with a far more control in CaptureOne by using the Color Editor + Skin Tone tool with its uniformity sliders. Many oversee the Skin Tone tool and think it's only a skin tone tool, but it can be used for any kind of color manipulation, then combine that with layers and the only limit is your imagination & creativity.
Everytime there's a new Jamie video, is the same: I click only if I'm not in a rush. Then, I watch it once, marveling at the making of the video. Then I watch it again, making mental notes about the class he’s teaching
@@jamiewindsor Would you consider making a video about your process of creating RU-vid videos? I'd be interested as a viewer but I wouldn't like to as a creator.
@@Gellyvision I’ve had a few requests for this. It would be a video I’d like to make, but I’m not sure if it would fall too far outside of what my audience expects of my channel. I’d like to make more videos on filmmaking in general, but I think my audience are mainly here for the photography. I might make it and see what happens.
The one and only photographer who convince me that studying photography could be more complex then my medical study , yet you provide information in a great way
Ha way more. I read a lot. Whenever my medical friend talks about medical stuff I usually can add things she never realized. I wonder how much she could understand photography at my level
You are one of the most underrated channels on yt... You provide value to my time and give me knowledge, i would love if you can produce more videos... But i also think that they will loose their magic... You are the only channel that i check regularly to see if you have posted new content... Keep up the good work.
Your content is soo soo good! Thanks for all these precious information that you give us for free! I have a question about the colour wheel though! The color wheel you are using is wrong isn't it? The real perceptual color wheel should have magenta yellow and cyan as primaries subtractive, and red green and blue as primary additive (or secondaries and vice versa), so red should be complementary to cyan and not green, based on how our eye works. So why do we still like wrong complementaries such as red and green? Is it just because we are used to this since artists are using them in this way for decades?
I so appreciate this Jamie. The explanation of HSL and why one would use the calibration instead was so helpful. While that bit was awesome, I also appreciate the effort you have put into your intro. So well done! Good on you! Did you compose that Mac startup song?
Brilliant as usual. Even on a topic that for once I knew a bit about there were still some great new pointers, but what sets your videos apart is the connection to real-world fine art photography and knowledge of these concepts in practice, not in a vacuum or gear framework. Cheers
Jamie ! Never ever stop comming back to your video! The quality of it are incredible. I learn photography in school for 2 years 100% of the times about photography and the crazy part i learn much more in your video. You don't teach camera stuff you teach photography. That's a big difference in my book !
Each time I see a new video of JW is ready, I wait for the good moment to enjoyed it and learn. As it was a documentary, or a film... there are, indeed, something like that for me! Your work is brilliant, inspiring, admirable. Thanks for sharing!!
It feels like I just watched a color master class, holy. Great video, I had no idea what calibration was or what the HSL panel was used for. That's insanely helpful! I still can't figure out the tone curve yet but you know, I eventually will I'm sure. If you made a video on it I'd love to see it!
Hi. Thanks for explaining the calibration module. I already wanted to switch to Lightroom beacuse of this. But I found out Darktable that I'm already using also has similar module - color calibration. It's a bit more complicated (more sliders), but it's possible to achieve results you've shown here.
Honestly the best lesson I've received from videos. Everything else just showed me how to use the HSL slides, but this explains when to use them and utilizing another editing category to grade the photos.
I was never expecting that with this video, I will learn things that I had so many questions before...I found some of the answers here!😁🤩... I just only started watching your video today...It accidentaly started from your Video about "Black and White" photos...And till now I keep watching your videos..😆😅... You've earned one additional subscriber today..😁🤘👍
Jamie! Thank you so much for this! Came at a perfect time right as I was starting to look deeper into colour grading. I now have a much better understanding of what to focus on when processing my images to achieve a better result. Definitely going to rewatch this video a few times!! I get that it was just for demonstration purposes but I noticed that for one of the images you edited (the bride and groom on the beach) you cropped it to a bit of a random aspect ratio. Do you have go to aspect ratios (4:3, 2:3, 8x10 etc) or orientations (landscape or portrait) depending on the project or the subject or do you tend to avoid standard sizes in favour of just having an image that best suits the subject? Is there a theory behind aspect ratios and the mood they convey or how they are perceived (ie wide angle is seen as cinematic)? Sorry for the ramble. Looking forward to the new presets!
Your videos are so lucid, well-spoken and instructive. The transitions, examples, and amount of thought and planning are really astounding. Thank you Jamie for creating such wonderful, informative and inspiring work.
02:47 "if we were to turn any of these images black & white they wouldn't work" I disagree. They all look great black & white. No they're not as striking, don't have the same symbolism but they all "work". They're alls still very well composed images.
Wow! I have really not made the most of the LR calibration slider. I just toyed around with a recent image I was already pleased with. What a difference! Thank you, sir.
This just elevated my editing (and photography) enourmously! I tried a few things on lightroom and the results just blew my mind! thank you so much Jamie!
You make by far the most helpful videos I've found on youtube! Informative but digestible and always keeping the emotional importance of things in the forefront :)
OMG!!! How many things I've learned. I was intimidated by the calibration and the HSL. I always avoided it due to the lack of knowledge and how to use them. This channel is a gem. Thank you is not enough, Jamie. PS: The presets, by the way, are by far the most exquisite I've used. Thank you again.
in regards to editing software with color calibration: DARKTABLE. It's OSS/free and runs on just about every desktop. Arguably even more powerful than LR/Camera RAW, since you can adjust (and normalize) the RGB of each output RGB channel. (HSL then also later available)
Jamie, I don't know if you'll ever read this, but I feel so strongly that I need to thank you. I've learned and grown so much from your tutorials and I owe so much of that progress to you and your tips.
I really love your videos on photography! When I'm stuck in the editing process, I always go back to your videos to get some inspiration! Thank you for giving us great content, Jamie!
There is a software that has a similar function as Calibration: Darktable with the module “Color Calibration”. The software is open-source and has a (lot) steeper learning curve compared to LR. It is organized through modules (Exposer, Filmic, Curves and so on), and each module can: be duplicated many times, have their own mask (not only with pencil or path but also parametric (gray channel, R B G channels, Chroma channel, Hue channel, etc)) and each module can also have a blend mode applied (like the layers mode on Photoshop). It would be nice to also have such flexibility on LR. Other highlights (for LR users) are the Filmic and Contrast equalizer modules. Thank you very much for your channel. You hope you get enough revenue to keep it going.
Jaime, honestly, you are absolutely amazing, and I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful and insightful videos. This last one especially, the HSL vs calibration has been a game changer for me, and my photos are now vibrant in a way I could never achieve before. Thank you so much.
Normally i dont rly post comments, but your videos are so unbelievably well edited and calm. Gives time to absorb the information and think about own projects or ideas. well done Jamie, hats off
Super video! Appreciate the color wheel breakdowns and the explanation of HSL vs Calibration as well as why split toning/color grade wheels aren’t ideal for tweaking color.
It’s been said a million times. Love your videos! I wish you made more and don’t at the same time. It is obvious you take time and think these videos through! I am sure the information would not be as good and as thought provoking if you made more! Thanks for letting us into your mind and helping US ALL become better photographers!
Jamie a fantastic video! Midnblowingly clarified my concepts. Never knew this about camera calibation. Will not use anything else for color grading. I have both CP 1 and LR but now i think will use LR only. You know all the experts on You Tube they keep some secrets with themselves and never reveal full expertise.
Hey guys, does anyone know where can I find the Calibration tool in the newer Lightroom versions? Couldn't find anywhere... Maybe we have an option somewhere for the Red Primary, Green Primary and Blue Primary sliders.
This is an incredible video, I’ve been watching photography and editing content for 10 years and I learned more about color and especially color calibration in this video! Beautifully explained, thank you! 🙏🏻
It’s the Calibration tool that forces me to stay with Abobe for RAW editing, because I mainly shoot live music (or did pre-COVID) and it is the only way to help fix some of the terrible colour casts from the cheap LED lights used in small venues. Still looking for another editing option, and I’ve tried lots without success.
I want to point out something interesting about composition which reveals itself in this video. In several examples you desaturate the example and say "If these were in B&W they wouldn't work." I don't disagree for the sake of the topic of this video being color...but I want to say that the photos still "work" compositionally. That when you desaturate the examples, we STILL see consummate composition. Thank for letting me toss in my 3 cents!

Jamie I love your videos. Thankl you for your work. You mention in the video that the Calibration tool does not exist in Capture One (which I use). Would using the calibration tool be very similar to using curves ? Is it difficult to achieve the same effect with curves ? (I really do not master them well yet - at least for the individual color channels)
