With so many color adjustments in Lightroom and Photoshop, it can be confusing which one to use. In this week’s video we’ll talk about a newly updated color adjustment in Photoshop (that’s still based on an old feature) and why I don’t think that’s where your color related work should be done. Enjoy!
PS: I do realize that if you go to the actual adjustment layer properties for the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer that is created, you get other controls and results. Just know that they’re still equally as bad and that doesn’t make this adjustment any better. Lightroom and Camera Raw are still the place that you, as a photographer, should be doing your color adjustments and overall masking.
I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated. So my personal mission (and favorite thing to do), is to create education that simplifies the process of taking great photos, and how to edit them to get the results you’ve always wanted.
Thank you for your video, Especially pointing out Photoshop has a wide usage by people other than for photography.
Excellent video as always.
As ever, an excellent video. Will save a lot of time by not playing with the ‘new’ Photoshop feature! Always appreciate your tutorials.
Helpful comparison! Also, an important point of context that photographers are a minority in Photoshop’s diverse audience.
Thanks Matt – very illuminating!
Thank you for clarifying that. On a related note, Hue/Saturation adjustment layers in Photoshop have become useless to me. They use the same “prominent color” list and I do not have a selection eyedropper to choose other colors. There are 3 eyedroppers that say they are there to Select a color range, but they do not operate.
How do I get back to Hue/Saturation adjustments I can use?
Well done. Mahalo for good information that solves my color conundrum.
Thank you for this lesson
Thank you
Thank you, as always very informative.
Blessings to you
Thanks for the info, Matt. As an observation, this Adjust Color tool seems to be similar in many ways to the Recolor Artwork Tool in Illustrator. I don’t know what conclusions might be drawn from that observation, but I think it’s interesting.
I have been watching your videos for several years. Love your approach to teaching!
Thanks,
Ben
