Hi there, this video, we're going to look at color grading specifically. This kind of like orange teal and washing out the blacks a bit. Color grading is just a generic term used to describe changing the colors of an image on purpose for an effect. It might be to change the mood to imply our time or a place like a look up table or a lot. We'll do a couple of versions. This one here starts like this ends like this, we'll do a third one that's just a little harder. Let's do it now in Photoshop from your exercise files. Oh six color Open up color grading one now in a previous tutorial, I showed you the quick and dirty cheap trick to get the kind of blue yellow look kind of a fashion look, you know what it was is in your adjustments panel, click on curves and then just go to your blue channel, drag the light colors down and the blacks up. You end up with this kind of close but not 100% there to that kind of fashion look we're going for, we're looking for that orange and teal look. So I'm g...

oing to bend my curves and I'm gonna show you it's a longer process to get set up. But once you do have it set up you can use it over and over again forever shout out to web flippy who I learned this technique from totally just stealing it. So most of the work is done in your adjustments panel, you can see how close watches just for this one. Okay, double click the tab and it closes the one I want is the channel mixer, we're gonna use a few of these ones in your adjustment panel but I bet you you've never used before so adjustments channel mixer holdup dan hold up right there. Okay, so I've come back from the future because I get to the end of this tutorial, there's a lot of clicking this and dragging this and lots of settings and I said to you in the tutorial later on, you'll hear in a bit that I should have written this down for you so I've come back to stick it on screen for the entire tutorial so you don't have to like pause going type pause here it is here, I'm just going to kind of get the editor to edit to down here for the entire tutorial somewhere so it's not so hard. Alright get back to it dan. And whatever it says for output channel switching to green basically we want to flip green and blue over So we want green to be zero And blue to be 100. I just clicked on this first one and tap down so we flip those over, go to blue and do the same thing, I want to flip green and blue over. So green is now 100 and blue is zero. It looks weird until you click on the word down here so you got the whole thing selected and then play with the blending modes. Just kind of work your way through to find one you can kind of start to see even with darkened, it's got that kind of orange and teal glow to it already. It's probably a bit extreme. So I'm going to go through and just find one that works for you or like they're lighting kind of washed out. I need to fill in some of the other colors so you might be happy just with that. Let's go a bit further and we're going to add another adjustment and it's this one here is called selective color switch it from here to reds. It's probably reads by default and lift the sign up about midway and crank the yellows up pretty much all the way up and to fill out those mid tones. Let's go to neutrals and we're going to mess with just cyan and black. It's a sign if we lower it down, if we lower it down is going to bring a bit more reds into the mid tones. Less iron. This will depend on your image as well. So don't be afraid to kind of go more or less depending on what you're working with. I just kind of practice with this image and play around with the blacks as well. Alright, that looks good for me what I like about the orange and teal effect is that kind of old number, my scan photos from earlier on, that kind of washed out black. That instagram effect look okay because at the moment the blacks are too rich. I want this to feel old like it might have been shot in the eighties. That's the effect. Anyway, so we're gonna go to adjustments, go to levels and the easiest way is this little slider down here. We don't use very much. That's just going to clip off and say, I don't want any really strong blacks. Okay, so turn the preview on and often depends if you want. Yeah, you want to kind of lose those strong blacks. It's up to you some of the whites, you can draw those down a little bit as well. This, you know, it's kind of like counterintuitive for photo retouching. We're trying to make the strong whites and strong blacks but not for this effect. I feel there is a bit of work getting it to here. Like I've practiced this. It's only taken us a couple of minutes. You're going to have to pause the video and type it all down, watch it a couple of times. But once you've done that, the cool thing about it is that you can just kind of open up another image. I'm going to open up color grading two and three instead of having to type all that lot out, I can go back to my original image. Just have it open, select all three of these, holding shift, grabbing them all using my move tool and just dragging them to this tab here. Cool, easy off on the same thing, dragging to this last one and then let go. Now the settings that I did for this first photograph worked fine for it. The second one works pretty good to this last one. Not so much, it's kind of cool. So if you're looking to adjust it, the main culprit is this middle one here. This one gives you all of your adjustments. It's called selective color at the top here. You're going to mess with greens and neutrals. Remember what worked for that? First image needs to be changed here and you can see you can kind of lower the science here instead of raising them because there's not much going on. Yellows probably want to be still straight up and the neutrals is going to give me a bit of adjustment here. So Science left Science right, decide where you want it to be Blacks up. Blacks down. Alright. And I like that better. Now. The main trouble with this one is that there's not a lot of color information to get started with. So just know that more colorful images are going to end up with this like really strong kind of orange and teal that you're going to have to probably lower it down. Okay, lower the opacity of it. And this one here because there's no color information is gonna be a little tough but I think we kind of got the look there. Maybe not the levels. Alright, that is going to be it. Let's jump into the next tutorial.

Great class, but outdated PS version. It was confusing sometimes. Some tools are not in PS anymore and more tools have been added which is not included in the course.
