Color Grading

Hey @le_penseur_
Try the following Workflow
1. Stamp Visible (Control + Alt + Shift + E) the Completed Retouched file
2. Select an Average Skin colour ( not precise) & open Solid Colour Adjustment
3. Select and Copy the Image on Step 1 and then Apply the Image on the Layer mask (Image - Apply Image)
4. Make 2 copies of this layer
5. For the 1st layer, Invert the Image and change blending Mode to Multiply
6. For the 2nd layer, change blending Mode to Softlight
7. The above are for colour toning. You can now adjust the colour slider and arrive at a desired colour tone.

For Colour pop, you can try below technique.

Trust this helps.

 

Tried the step but it blends more than separation.
About the tutorial in youtube ... it separates the bg and subject not color usage or maybe i did the step wrong.
Can you make a short clip on it? @Mystic Wolf

I was looking more of like Eli Infante/Miles of color/suhailphotos/RonnyGarcia
[Vibrant/Bright/Pop/Color]

 

I got what you are looking for. Those are selective colour & Curve adjustments. Let me check if i can come out close to that.
Have you tried LUTs?

 

No, I do these manually. Trying to learn color theory. @Mystic Wolf

 

Me too @le_penseur_
If you come across any good ones, do let me know.

Did you check this?

Yes.
There seems to be some trick before color blending(Camera Raw/ Contrast). I tried,couldn't get same result. :

 

@stevestone
NO. Only Camera Raw for WB and basic adjustments.
so you go for the color at first? I change color in final steps.

 

There is a ("free") online Miles of Color Workshop to download

Following. Suhail's work really pops the subjects out of the frame.

 

@tsraywot ??

 

@greengoblin suhail/liquidverve/abelinsane/worldofcolor

 

A fan boy moment when I see work of first three you mentioned. Will check the work of worldofcolor. Can you share any link for worldofcolor work, please?

Which tutorials have you found so far, to learn these techniques?

 

https://www.instagram.com/worldsofcolorz/ (It's shoutout page. Good for inspiration)
I would recommend Abelinsane Tutorial. Still searching for the coloring technique tho @greengoblin

 

Thank you so much!

 

For all above, I feel in all premium tutorials also they don't reveal the real technique they use for achieving specific color grading. So even after paying premium pricing for their tutorials people can't achieve similar results like them in terms of color grading.. in every tutorials they sometimes moves lots of sliders in color balance or selective colors that you can't follow a specific Workflow to achieve same colors..
