The subject of colour grading images is one that has somewhat eluded me in the last 4 years of my journey in photography. The idea that there are complementary colours and understanding them is true and in this hour-long tutorial, photographer and retoucher, Joanna Kustra shares her knowledge on the subject matter.
In the tutorial, she breaks down and discusses how to achieve the desired result in colours from idea sourcing to actually achieving the said result in Adobe Photoshop. The main topics she discusses include:
- What tools you need
- The meaning of colour in photography
- Colour inspiration: where to get it from and how to apply it
- Colour grading workflow: what working with colour is all about and Joanna’s workflow in Adobe Photoshop
- Before and after: we’ll be discussing colour decisions with examples from Joanna’s projects
- Tips on how to develop your unique style
