A NEW way to Edit COLOUR images using Black & White FIRST! (with Surprising Results!!) 

🤯 Mind officially blown! For me, this improved my editing as adding to an image is easier than removing. Actually feels more natural. Awesome Video, Mark!

That's utterly brilliant! I am going back over loads of my old photos and having another go - it is totally changing the vibe! This has seriously changed how I am going about processing

this is honestly the best lightroom tutorial i have ever seen. this is freaking brilliant and it makes so much sense. a BW image is easier to judge. sometimes i start editing on a photo and i am not sure where i want to go with it because i see all of the colors together and its overwhelming. by tackling each color individual... man... i m loving this

what i loved about you, that you don't "sell presets" but you learn people very useful skills. thanks man... you are Amazing.

Love this! I often shoot in a dark venue with crazy stage lighting. This will help with odd colors by taking control of what color I want where. Can't wait to try it!

This is brilliant! When I started off learning lightroom I was taught to use edit exposure first, in BW to avoid interference and bias of colours, and do edit colours seperately afterwards. There's a lot I like with this process BUT I always felt overwhelmed by the drama the colors caused when going back to colour. Using the technique you present in this video totally removes that and allows you to add in the colors and refine them at the same time. Much appreciated Mark, will be using this moving forward!

Thanks for doing this. I just did a couple of shoots, one for a band and the other for a solo artist. Everyone was looking for a heavy industrial look. I have been using a lot of different, traditional techniques but I’m excited to try some of the ideas you presented here.

Wow, that’s a great tip. It makes a lot of sense and works so well. I’d been working from the other direction, toning down from full color. From now on I’ll be doing a 180 and toning up from B&W. 😎👍

This has honestly revolutionised my editing. Being colourblind makes things super hard and this simplifies completely - thank you!

Good tutorial. This is similar to graphic design principles, always design the artwork in black and white first so you have a strong base. Cheers, Mark :) - Brett

Love you man for this. This gave me a proper workflow for editing my photos. I had a serious problem with having unwanted colours in my photos. This works out so well for me.❤️❤️

love seeing these type of videos, i like knowing why you make each changes. Love hearing the thought process. Please do more.

One of the best tutorials ever! Thanks man for amazing inspiration in all your videos 🔥

I had to go through my watch history and find this video to tell you the following. Removing the saturation from each channel and then adding it is the best way to color correct and grade. Now it is part of my workflow and I don't think it is ever gonna go away. Seriously, I feel very lucky and grateful to have watched this video. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. I really, really appreciated. I mean, I used to change the saturation for each channel starting from 50 and then changing the lightining and hue of each channel. But I have never tought to start from 0.

Wow! Thank you for the technique!!! Love the flow process, and applying them was soo easy and speeded up my color grading!

Brilliant and you do it with such smoothness

thank you your tips are really helping me improve my photo edits!!!

Really good workflow, love your style of teaching, heading to NYC in May and will be doing more B&W shooting and also trying to mix things up a bit using the methods you show here.

have been following your videos recently and you are crazy good, a great inspiration!

I like this type of editing. Never seen it before! Def gonna try this out in the future!

I love this process and will definitely be trying it

Most photosophical video I’ve watched lately! Thanks for sharing, I’m definitely gonna try this!

Hi Mark, as in my music production, subtracting to bring out other elements as opposed to just adding and adding to try and achieve results is so important and delivers better results.

I just spent the last hour editing three similar images while watching your easy to follow process and was very excited with the results. cheers

This actually makes me excited! I've never thought about using the gray scale to color-correct on my photographs. Can't wait to try it out!

Jesus Christ.. I've been using Lr for years. It's always been my primary avenue to editing photos. I have never seen this and can't wait to try it out! Thank you so much for sharing this!

For me this opens a completely different way to work with my images, but by now it makes sense totally. I'm eager to try it. Thanks for sharing.

I had fun learning new things today. Thanks

Just subscribed. I recently used this technique on a log cabin that had patches of colour around it. Love the way you processed these.

This process is incredible. Thanks for Sharing.

Interesting to balance out the light first then introduce the color back in with greater control. Tried it and will definitely keep this in my toolbox. Great video!
