Color Correcting and Sharpening in Photoshop

[MRCARLOVER09]

hi was wondering if you could help me? when i change the setting to "colour" and use black or white they only goes as dark or light as grey even though they are selected to pure black or pure white on the colour selection box any tips on how to make it appear as pure black or white?

[grisgrisy]

good work here

[shellybirdy]

very interesting thanks

[smalltownhappy]

I haven't tried your tips yet, but just watching it I have to say it was helpful. thank you for sharing !

[babablacksheep909]

can this be applied with landscapes pictures?

[PKpumped]

@mroneniceguy the way I do it is to first adjust the highlights midtones and shadows then I go back and screen the original image back over the adjusted image

[dohead123456]

If you took out all your ums and pauses and stuttering, you could shorten this down to about 1 minute.

[sisuhall222]

Thank you, very easy to understand.

[benjie1234us]

thanks for uploading, it's very informative.

[NewAgeDirector]

Great video keep up the good work.

[Revanastasia]

Brilliant! I've tried to search many tutes, but your video is very helpful!

[XxThuBxiLLaxX]

thank U .

[Naturally00Me]

I just finished adjusting in the Lab mode, and when I went to switch over to RGB mode, it tells me "Changing modes will discard an adjustment layer, change mode anyway?" choices are flatten/cancel/or oaky? is it supposed to flatten image or not? Does any one else get this message? It just may as well just carry over to RGB mode = flattened image eh? =)

[DigitalAssassin]

@Naturally00Me Don't flatten -- it's a very very rare occasion that not flattening will cause problems (some semi-transparent layers can alter their colours very slightly, for instance). 99% of the time you just just switch with no problems.

[Naturally00Me]

GOOD JOB!!=) keep 'em coming!

[mroneniceguy]

[NIKONGUY1960]

I keep coming back to this tut simply because it's one of the best I've seen on this subject. The results speak for themselves.

[LuisSkillis]

yeah I like it =P photos get a really cool colors and its one fast way to do it =)

[badblue42]

thanks alot



[GHT26855]

Thanks. Excellent practical help. Not too much technical detail and the B/W thresholds (using double click droppers) is a particularly useful tip.

[scrappy88888]

Excellent tutorial!

[pannysat]

Hey you said you would make more video like these (photo enhancement) but I don't see them. Please make more. I would like to learn other techniques photographer use to enhance there photos. ie jessica claire

Thanks so much for the tutorial. Pleas keep posting I'm new to PS these are great! Maybe a start to finish how to correct a photo. Thanks again!!

[T4NK01]

great tutorial thanks!

[jrodriguez4820]

thanks a lot, i really liked this tutorial, great explanation of how things work in terms i can actually understand. Just one question though, is there any draw back to finding the black and white points before doing the color correction in Lab Color, or is there a particular reason why you did the black and white points last?

[DigitalAssassin]

@jrodriguez4820 It's actually better to do black/white points first, so if you choose a non-neutral colour they won't affect your colour correction.  Your way is better!

[alarechercheDC]

Very  clear, step by step explanation. Thanks!

[walips2]

nice tutorial, thanks alot for sharing with us.

[nfguler]

fantastic tutorial. so simple and amazing results in a real short time.

[saiyeh]

how can i save this into jpeg after doing the lab color?

[Dubfire73]

Fantastic tutorial thanks :-)

[ArkQueue]

Is there a reason you chose not to sharpen in LAB mode as opposed to RBG? I'm just starting to use LAB mode, so I'd like to know if there's a difference.

[47smile]

this was great thank you.

[bummer4451]

Great tutorial compared to the other tutorials on LAB Colour posted on youtube!

[musiccalgary]

Didn't notice any material on color correcting in this video. It should be entitled saturate and sharpen.

[msginaz]

I have a couple questions about sharpness and tones.. wondering if you can help me out. Great video by the way... thanks

[lad78518]

Excellent video, Thanks

[Nannieofthree]

[ispookie666]

awesome.. and quiet easy...

[cblachford]

spectacular u tube. I learned a lot.

[tenaya13able]

Great tutorial, thanx!

[Goatseeee]

Why do you choose to use Unsharp Mask rather than Smart Sharpen? Nearly all the websites I've read up on say to use Smart Sharpen. Just curious.

[davidchance01]

Good info. Remove all extraneous any words, comment, or mouse movements. Show before and after split-screen.

[MiAkount]

Thanks for making these many helpful tutorials

[danielacostaism]

why you dop that with your fucking mouth its anoying

[RainbowCproductions]

help, when i go back to rgb color mode the color correction goes away, and if i stay in lab color i cant save the picture as jpeg, wtf do i do??

[DigitalAssassin]

@RainbowCproductions If you've hit 'okay' in the Levels Dialogue Box in Lab Colour Mode, the settings will carry over to RGB mode. You won't lose any colour correction!

[RainbowCproductions]

@DigitalAssassin its still not working im in CS5, does it change? and u mean press ok in the curves box when in lab colour mode?

[eddimoreau]

Clear, nice and slow. So much information! Thank you.

[maca075]

[xBLuRxGINGx]

@maca075 i seriucly dont understand what you mean by that...? thats just so unrelated...

[adabee17]
