In this video I give you some practical advice for being more intentional about the colours in your images, and how to limit your colour space in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop using the Hue, Saturation and Luminance tool (or HSL sliders). I also give you examples of complementary and analogous colour schemes from the world of cinema, and talk about what we mean when we say we are trying to achieve a 'cinematic look' to our photography.

You had me at “I will never sell a preset on this channel. I would rather take the time to teach you how to create your own presets.” 😎

This is a game changer. The colour wheel was a stroke of genius to explain how it all works! Thank you Sean. I love your approach.

@rogerwyatt3246 4 года назад

Sean, when you turned your color correction settings off then back on I saw the deep level of design you bring to the details of your presentations. Only a superior teacher would come up with that rapid and incredibly effective technique to make your point. Then you explained the kind of impact you wanted the color design and lighting to convey to the viewer. I instantly saw it and felt it. While we viewers concentrate on the important lessons and techniques that you bring forth month after month it’s easy to lose sight of what a good teacher you are. Congratulations on another excellent presentation. As I have often commented Sean, be safe, be well, and continue to do good stuff. Given the world we’re currently living through that world needs you more than ever.

@Jo_Actual 4 года назад

li agree. id rather learn how to do rather then buying from someone or just "copying" a pre-set. creating your own vibe and style i think is really important.

@tjkennedyphoto Год назад

As a colourblind artist, this is THE SINGLE BIGGEST challenge in my photos and videos. In fact, the most recent short doc I shot was the first time I've ever used colour-grading for video. I appreciate efforts of people like you trying to simplify things for us! 🙏❤

@endrigoV 4 года назад

That contrast and blown up saturation to see dominant and clues for on point color grading tips made my day, thank you sir.

@AmitGupta-jg5zd 4 года назад

Sean, just made it simple. I never understood colors and color grading, but now I do. ❤️ Thank you, boss. You're the best.

@plannerjohn 4 года назад

The lightbulb really clicked with this video. Thank you for the best illustration of this concept I’ve yet to see on youtube., I feel like I can finally see the color paths in front of me.

@markdemarte6744 2 месяца назад

I can't thank you enough for posting this tutorial. The information therein is priceless. Many times I have been frustrated with presets, buying into the promise that I could get the same results that their sales literature promises. But the value of your video goes beyond that. For a long time I have been looking for a tool that I could use to control which colors are dominant in a photo and which others need to be adjusted or converted. And there it was all along. It's already available in the software I have so I need not spend a dime. And the results are everything I was searching for.

@KimSamejima 4 года назад

Man I love the philosophical content of your channel, but these tutorials are so helpful! Tks again, Sean! You're the best!

@PhilKnall 4 года назад

Amazing video. I'm completely floored that I never figured out that the hue slider just drags you along the color wheel in turn...

@gundamaction1201 Год назад

Sean thanks for making this video. As a person who never studied art or photography, I never knew how hue works in editing my photos. You explain it really well to send me on my way to explore, learn, and practice on color schemes! Thank you for putting in all the work to show us.

@tienzochi 3 месяца назад

I've been struggling a long time with editing and setting my own style as a beginner. This video directed me to the path I wanted to take. Love this video! Thanks Sean!

@adams.555 3 года назад

While watching this great tutorial I came to a sad conclusion that most of YT creators are quite stingy with sharing knowledge of this caliber. Your channel is simply a treasure!

@wessidemd 4 года назад

@SimplyElena 4 года назад

This was the best explanation of color I’ve seen. Thank you! I did not know how the hue worked with the color wheel.

@KennayE97 4 года назад

Really really enjoyed this tutorial! You broke it down so simply and really love that you encourage all of us to learn to do these things without presets. How you convey your message and the steps involves makes it so easy for us to watch and really understand. Keep it up 👌

@ashams30j 4 года назад

Sean, you just taught a lot more about the complimentary colors and how to use them in the most simplest way possible. I have been watching lots of videos on how to do this but none of them was this easy. Thanks a lot... and also i agree with your perspective on presets as well not that i'm against it; just because i don't see fun in editing photos from scratch.

@CAYENNEOREZ 4 года назад

This is one of the most useful and one of my favorite videos you've ever done. Just outstanding.

@cameronwheatley7065 4 года назад

@jackielarena-lacayo9884 4 года назад

Sean, thank you so much for this video. I literally had that "aha" moment as you explained how the color wheel works. I don't know how many videos I have watched about the HSL/Color Wheel and it never filtered properly for me. This was a "game changer" for me,.

@SnapCracklePop1010 3 года назад

Great video! One nitpick: technically our eyes are more sensitive to some colors than others. Camera's sensors actually have more green sensors to compensate for this.

@mauhimauhi2063 4 года назад

This is your best video. Everyone talks about colour grading, cinematic effect, but its like buy presets and get it. But you have explained the reason why and how a look is achieved. best video on hue/saturation adjustment layer and its full capabilities that i have seen. well done. Can we have a series on creating mood, more on colour grading and what to keep in mind as you shoot to be able to get to that end result

@paulengle5784 2 года назад

@lorainegauteul325 4 года назад

Sean, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video which explains in a simple way a concept that I needed to be able to progress. I'm trying to make my photography a bit cinematic and do it intuitively, but now I'm going to be able to do this a lot more consciously. You unlocked a new step on my photography path, I am very grateful to you.

@vngas7 3 года назад

This is the first time I understand this. Thanks for such a good explanation, this is priceless.

@philipculbertson55 4 года назад

Wow Sean, this is by far the best explanation of using color to change the mood of an image and how to do it, that I've seen. I will be watching this one several times. And as another commenter stated, thank you so much for not having seven or eight ads peppered throughout the video. That is so distracting, I've stopped watching many creators I use to enjoy. This is exacerbated now for those of us in the US as we approach election season and we are bombarded by political ads.The approach you used for Audible in this video is far less of a distraction and a lot more meaningful to viewers.

@lauraschwartz1265 3 года назад

this is so good explained. I already new a lot about colours, but you explained in a different way. I always thought I am supposed to use tone curves and split toning, because everyone does, although I don't really like the effects. As you said, it brings colours in ALL the Highlights/blacks even when there are actually other colours. Now I feel much more confident in doing it my way.

@TimWells745 4 года назад

Thanks Sean. I found this to be such an easy to understand and yet also a very powerful presentation on this topic. The real examples of it are a great way to help understand it by seeing it. I'll certainly be putting more thought and effort into the colour grading on images in the future.

@markmccartan 4 года назад

Really like this video. I haven’t seen an explanation of editing color like this one and I appreciate it - same goes for your skin tone and dodge/burn videos, info in there I haven’t seen anywhere else and presented in a very understandable way. No presets, no “hacks.” The rest of your videos are great too but these have been the ones I’ve found most helpful, thanks!

@jamesnelson8697 4 года назад

While I can't point to any single concept within this video that I didn't know previously, and could probably explain in isolation just fine, seeing it put together and demonstrated as it is here nonetheless feels like a revelation. Really great video.

I’ve been studying color for a little while now and your explanation was the mortar I needed for all the blocks I’ve gathered. Thank you for your considered approach to the topic. It’s a total gift. Three-quarters through now and I’m totally adopting your description of “cleaning up the color space.” 🤓

@nairbyad7188 4 года назад

@3:00, no our eyes do not process all colors linearly; what we call "bright green" is perceived much brighter than other colors. like our hearing response peaking at the frequency of a crying baby.

@idlikeabetternickname 4 года назад

Thanks for this video. I think its the 2nd vid from you that is focused entirely on the colors and creating ones own style. I always keep in mind your words that it's not what you highlight, it's what you reduce that make a mood... I've not used presets so far, because I'm afraid that once I start using them I'll never develop my own style. after this material I'll exercise with some random photos. Thanks again!

@nirajresurfaced Год назад

@jennheflin 3 года назад

@UndineAlmani 4 года назад

Awesome summary of what you really need to know! I'm just improving my color grading game and looking for inspiration. One year ago I was at the point that I thought I would never even try color grading... It was the best decision to experiment with it even though I felt overwhelmed. I've done a complete class in image processing (the computer science version) and now I want to put my knowledge to work. It feels very rewarding ☺️ Keep it up, I think that all your videos are gold! 💙

Thanks for the explanations Sean! Great video!
