How to Use Adobe Lightroom Classic’s Color Grading – Guide
Adobe has just released a new Lightroom variant that eliminates the division conditioning module and replaces it with an updated version, “Color Grading”. Within this update are some minor changes, incorporating live linking with explicit Canon cameras, adding several new cameras to its help list, more developed designs to increase handling speed, and more developed zoom included within Lightroom. I cover this momentarily and delve a little deeper into the new “scrubby” zoom in the video, so be sure to look at them in case you’re intrigued. ..
Find the color gradation guide
The New Color Gradation tab in the Develop module lets you change the color gradient of your images. You can choose a range of colors to create a gradient, or use a single color to create a complete image.
The new Split Toning tab has been added to the Effects panel. ..
Color Sorting Wheels
We now have three wheels or sliders within the tab known as Shadows, Midtones and Highlights. You can click on each of these circles to edit them individually, which I personally recommend.
I prefer to work with each control individually just to have more control over each area of the image.
The Global Wheel will add color to the entire image, which will affect the entire image as a whole. If you select colors for highlights, midtones and shadows using the Global Slider, your results may be terrible. ..
To use the Luminance slider to control the brightness of an image, you’ll need to first adjust its Contrast slider.
The new blending slider
Now that they’ve added the new slider called “Blend”, it will take all the colors you selected for shadows, midtones and highlights and will mix them.
I recommend using it at the bottom instead of setting it to 100. ..
Start color grading
To color grade an image, you first add cool tones to the shadows. Then, you can play around with the luminance slider to get a lighter or darker color. ..
I increased the warmth of the midtones, using the midtone wheel. You can see the settings below.
I added a warmer color to the Highlights to make skin tones more natural and surprising.
The results of the experiment are now clear. After four days of fasting, the subjects’ blood pressure was lower than before. Their heart rate was also lower, and they were more alert.
