Using Lab Mode to Change Color and Contrast in Photoshop 

Slow down man or you gonna suffocate. Do you realise how annoying it is, to listen to something like this?

Great tutorial, thank you. But pleeeeez! Slow down the speech! Sounds like a cattle auction, not a PS lesson!

Happy to hear that. Thanks Kirill, cheers

Sometimes the freedom that digital camera's and photoshop gives me freak me out a little, sometimes i really miss the simplicity of having a specific colors from an old badass film like ektachromeE100VS, velvia50, Provia, Kodachrome, etc. Your tuts are awesome and help me deals with that, Tx!

i like how you talk fast, some tutorials you have some moron speaking really slowly when all we want is to get to the point. well done :)

I did not see anything that cannot be done in RGB here.

can u speak louder?

Glad it was useful to you Kenji, cheers

Thanks Frank, glad it was helpful.

The raw conversion looks better.

Hello guys, do you know if we should adjust black, white, contrast, ex... on camera RAW/Lightroom before converting a picture to LAB color space (photoshop) or should we do all the adjustment in the LAB color space?

Great tutorial! One question: How would I go about creating a saturation mask in LAB mode?

Talks way to fast.

So the reason you created a separate file with the LAB mode conversion rather than converting the RGB to LAB in the original file is that you would have to convert back to RGB in the one file, vs only having to do it once in the second document, then as a smart object in the original it can stay in LAB even though the psd is in RGB?

Very interesting , thank you so much @michael ;-) JF

right button mouse above layers and, in pop up menu, choose duplicate layer... or any other visible options.

Great tutorial. thank you. I have skid marks on my brain a little and will have to watch it again but it was well worth while. :-)

Working in Lab is one thing and the process of incorporating it into a typical editing session with an RGB file is another. You helped with both. Thank you!

Thank you but I prefer the original RAW picture, colors are more natural!

The video is great but what's with this annoying humming that keeps popping out now and then?

Did you edit your voice faster some times? No hate but it's very annoying

I also like the trick to open the layer in a new document and then reimport it the same way via a smart object. I never did it this way. That really avoids switching all the layers between the different color modes. Frank.

in most of your videos there is a real annoying hum

The best tutorials Michael,thank you very much!

What is also very useful is to turn on the color panel and set it to LAB mode. Then one can actually see which colors a and b represent.

yes, thanks. I still have to use the LAB mode more to accentuate and seperate colors a bit more. Probably not for everyday use but very helpful for certain problems. Always learning something new. Frank.

You have a deep resonating buzz running throughout your video, which is really annoying, clean it up.

Hey, great tutorial thanks alot! I am wondering how much does the image quality actually decrease when going from RGB to LAB? And what did/do you do to preserve it as much as you can?

talk slowly please! Very nice tutorial, i learned alot!
