Hello everyone… as I slowly recover from elbow surgery I thought it would be fun to show you how to color grade your photos using any color combinations you desire.
The cool thing about this method is that you do not need to buy color LUTs, presets, or plug-ins and it works in both Photoshop and Lightroom. The only limit here is your creativity. Give this method a try with any portrait you have in your collection and see how it creates a new mood for your photographs.
Color grading will make your photos stand out and feel more like professional shots. With the right color grade applied, your photos will have much more attitude and mood to them than a straight out of the camera shot.
Color grading can quickly elevate your photography and take it to the next level. Give it a try and let me know your thoughts.
