I think I will have to go back and re-edit my old pics.
😂 oh man me too
This is the first thing I thought of after seeing this 😁
I think the coolest part is that you can adjust the colors in layers now, instead of the whole image,
Something I had to do in photoshop before
You can also adjust the colours using masks for different colours 😊
Agreed! MASSIVE improvement
Ohhhh great idea! I wish I'd thought to include an example of that. WAY more masking options now.
I agree that the Point Color is a huge change (and that HDR and Blur are of limited utility, to me, anyway), AND being able to combine it with Masking is pretty insane. But, you have shown that you can take Point Color w-a-y out there. I doubt I will go that far, but it is nice to know the limitations are not very limiting. Thank you for all the new to me info about Point Color's capabilities.
The first time I figured out the point color adjustment (in ACR) I realized I could now fix the color shift in skin tones in underexposed images. I can bring up shadows, then use the point color tool to take out the red shift from the skin tones. What a relief.
Right on! I agree, huge relief and makes life a lot easier when editing skin tones! Thanks for sharing + watching!
Although capture one already had this, Lightroom simplified it in a great way…. Time to give Lightroom another chance !
Agreed! So nice to have in Lr now!
I don’t know how I missed that it works with masks now. I’ve been waiting for that update since they first released their AI masks. Even better now that HSL is so much more intuitive and powerful. Also props on realizing this was the way bigger update than lens blur everyone was focusing on.
Right on Greg! Totally agreed - SO helpful to have HSL in masking now :)
So glad I watched this because I didn't know you could select a mask and then use point colour which is a game changer! Thank you!!!
Glad to help! Thanks for the comment :)
I am a big fan of this update as well! Always find your tutorials, insightful and helpful! Thank you!
Great to hear! Thanks for the kind words :)
Seriously powerful tool. I didn’t know half of this was in the update 🤯
Amazing video! This is going to be super helpful
So glad! Thanks for watching 👌🏻
Nice tutorial, easy to follow and understand, thank you very much.
Being able to adjust the color over and over is massive! Thank you for taking the time, even though you were quick about it. I was able to stop, rewind, and review all I wanted.
Glad you were able to follow! Can you let me know if it was my speaking that was too fast, or the examples / workflow? Trying to improve!
Not at all were you speaking too fast. I have a stop button, and rewind. That's what it's made for. No need to waste time on taking all day about it. I used it shortly afterward to improve an image that I thought I couldn't improve.@@SignatureEdits
Great video & tutorial - now expanded my use of it a lot. Agree its powerful & I have seen other videos on Point colour by other professionals & they say the same as you that it is a great feature. I learned more on your tutorial though eg what you did with the background on the potrait. (The note to adjust the video post was a neat & useful touch!)
Glad it was helpful! It’s definitely opened up some new options in terms of editing. Anything that keeps me out of photoshop I am a fan of ;)
I found that the point color works good for removing weird colors caused by reflection of either blue sky or green foliage from a white bird
YES! Another photog on here said its fantastic for his yacht photography for just that reason
I use the color pointer in LRC all the time. Now I will be using it better! Thanks for the tips.
Love this and all your tutorials! I wouldn’t have known how to use this properly without this video!
You are so welcome! Appreciate the awesome comment :)
Thank you so much! I tried for years to come up with Photoshop and I Just can't wrap my head around it. I am a Lightroom Girl, I love it. And your videos helped me ALOT with LR, thank you again
You're so welcome! I am exactly the same when it comes to photoshop 😅👌🏻
Really useful! Thanks
I never thought that was a big update until I watched your video. Thank you! You have a Néw subscriber.
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much 🙂👌🏻
Excellent tutorial! Thank you and I can see where it would be useful going forward!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting :)
This was such a valuable video and you presented it so well and easy to understand. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the watch and comment 👌🏻🙂
Great examples. Love your excitement and yes it is a great tool!!
It really is! Thanks for watching Connie!
Yes! I like your POV. What you've shown here make sense and I like the possibilities. It's amazing how much more user friendly LRC has become. Thanks for the content. :D
I totally agree! Glad it was helpful and ty for the comment :)
Because of this video, I supported you by getting your Presets. Very useful tool for sure and your demonstration made it easy to replicate and add to my LR skillset
wow thanks so much, i appreciate the support! glad it was helpful for you 🙂🙏🏻
Fantastic and thorough. Best I've seen!
Wow, thanks! Appreciate that Stacey 🙂
Thank you for sharing that kind of amazing tutorial
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate the comment 🙂👌🏻
Thank you so much for this video Ryan! I had no idea Point Color could be this useful... I was about ready to put it to the side and continue on with the classic HSL stuff. I'm definitely going to try to add it to my workflow now.
Glad it was helpful and brought some fresh perspective! Appreciate the comment as well, so thank YOU!
I am an 81-year-old artist who paints, collages, all print techniques' and photography: I prepare my creations digitally and even after I have transferred the work to paper, canvas, or wood. I use digital apps to evaluate possible changes. This will be a game-changer for me. Permitting selective colour control. I will need to learn LR, but maybe you can recommend a course.

PS about changing the coffee for wine
You seem like a good candidate for Lightroom Research. See if you can get your way into their research panels. The AI tools have been popular areas for their feedback for the past year or so, but one past survey focused on additional areas of interest their team should explore that they aren't currently focused on. One area that I continually harped on (and I would imagine other photographers as well) was the limited abilities to adjust color channels inside of masks. Prior to this release we really only had Temp/Tint and that awful color picker that would just paint a color over the whole mask. Seeing them soon after release a way to adjust color channels inside of masks really gave me hope that they actually intently listen to feedback. And they took it a step further and made this beautiful Point Color system that allows for localized color changes both inside AND outside of masks. Brilliant.
WOW that is so cool! And… THANK YOU! Haha how awesome it must feel to influence such an awesome feature. If you have a contact email I’d love to reach out the them :) You can direct message me from my website (signatureedits.com) or email ryan(at)signatureedits.com
This is a great video. Like many others, it seems I’ve underestimated how useful this new tool is. Thanks 🙂
Glad it was helpful Billy! I definitely thought the same until I dug deeper :)
I would've like for you to go more in-depth and expand the Range of the Point Color, i think there's a whole new feature, in fact :)
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Huge improvement in my opinion. Being able to adjust colors on a selective basis is a game changer!
💯👌🏻 I agree!
Definitely cool. I've wanted to do exactly this.
Awesome! Glad you found it then 🙂👌🏻
Just found your channel and love it!
Thanks Brian! So glad to hear :)
@@SignatureEdits just picked up your Presets pack on sale too. Thanks!
Lens blur has been amazing for me. mostly when using my phone for photos. it hasn't been slow at all either on mobile or on desktop.
So weird! I have no idea why but on my computer it is actually MOLASSES. And I'm on an M1 Pro Max so not that old or slow by itself.... Cool it works on your phone!
And you haven't even touched the expanded 'range' sliders. They really are superb
Very true!!!
I was playing with this today. I agree with you about this being a very powerful change in LR.
Right? Now it's time to reedit all my old photos ;)
This is a great tool and I’ve had quite a bit of success using it to isolate tan lines and blend them in to the surrounding skin. However, if you add a preset, or even convert to B&W via the tools panel afterwards, the colour fix seems to drop off and disappear, even though the mask is still there. Has anyone else found this…..?
Good job! Thank you!
Thank you too!
Thanks for this! I wonder if/when they will bring this to Lightroom CC
Good question! It's actually ALREADY inside of Lightroom CC (At least, the desktop version!)
HELP! Great video, and exactly what I wanted in point colour to work within masks & not globally, but when I make a selection mask and then adjust in point colour, it still affects the global colour selected. What am I doing wrong?
Huh! This sounds like a bug - I had point color act up on me and stop working at one point. In my case, quitting and restarting lightroom fixed it!
The other possibility is that you’re trying to adjust the global point colour from the develop toolbar and not actually applying it to the selection mask like you think you are? But I know that’s unlikely! Just checking :)
@@SignatureEdits Appreciate the reply! I thought it might be a bug. I'll keep at it and at least I know the facility is available thanks to your awesome video - which prompted me to subscribe to your fab channel. Thanks again & keep up the good work!
@@SignatureEdits I'm going to "fess up" here it was my mistake - and your taking the time to reply that helped me resolve it. I hadn't realised there was another point colour from within the mask tools, and once I saw it and opened up the drop-down - all is well. Because you mentioned using the global point colour adjustment it got me the light-bulb moment. Thank you so much again for replying!
Thank you.... This is a great insight... AI masking is bad ass
💯🎉
LOVE THIS
Glad you enjoyed! I'm a big fan too
It has not replaced the HSL panel. It is still veey much there. The color tool is just added on.
The AI-powered masking almost feels like cheating. The last couple of updates to LR have been incredible.
I’m going to have to rethink how I see the colors in my photos, great example
Love it! Glad it was helpful :)
Genuinely a fantastic update to lightroom. Making micro adjustments to skin tones for portraits is an ideal option rather than sending the photo to photoshop 🤔
Agreed David! Massive improvements for my workflow for sure :) Thanks for watching!!
Agreed. It cuts down on extra work for sure. This is really an easy tool to utilize, once you are shown how and practice with it a little.
What's the difference between this and a color range mask with hue saturation adjustment?
Good question! Tbh it is pretty similar - Mostly it is just way faster and easier as it skips a couple steps :) I also personally find the controls allow a greater adjustment and just make a little more intuitive sense. But use what works for you!
Thank you
Welcome!
Excellent Ryan 💪
Thanks friend!
Although I think this tool is fantastic for the extra range in hue you get per colour, I feel like your video was accidentally advertising the strength of masks instead of the point clicker. It's all about changing the colours in 1 section of an image which is what yiu would have done before with masks and hsl sliders instead of a point clicker - even though the point clicker DOES provide so much more than the hsl slider when selecting the range, luminance range and saturation range on top of it which isn't mentioned yet. The colour picker stacking is a great point though too!!
Absolutely Michael, I agree with that! Separation between the different elements in the photo is MUCH more effective many times than global adjustments. I might not have communicated it well enough, but that's the MAIN reason I'm excited about point color - The fact that we finally CAN do this inside of separate adjustment layers instead of just globally on the entire image :) Thanks for watching!
Hasn't Capture 1 had this feature for some time ?
I think so, but Im not a C1 user myself 😅👌🏻 Regardless, it is a welcome feature for LR users!
That’s funny, the lens blur isn’t slow on my computer…. Plus, I find it EXTREMELY useful and use it all the time.
😂 no way?! What computer are you on? Ive got the M1 Pro Max and it is molasses slow!
It's great that you can do this now, however it's slow and time confusing, it would be much easier just to go into photoshop and replace the background as in the case of the model. We also forget that the same Adobe RAW filter can be used identically in PS which means you apply the same retouching but having it on a layer that can be masked above the original image. I only use LRC for my catalog and importing and very basic RAW edits, take it into Photoshop for anything else, still having the Adobe RAW filter available but with much better options.
Excellent points Spike! Im a PS rookie so I WISH i knew my way around in an efficient way. As it is Ive always found it super time consuming for editing more than one image at a time. What is your workaround for multiple hundreds of images?
@@SignatureEdits Pease don't take that as criticism the video is great! However for local adjustments that is impossible to apply to a number of images. What I’m saying is use the right tool for the right job. If applying a general tone or preset then LR is the tool to use, local adjustments PS is the better tool. This is why they are packaged together, they work best together for professional photography.
is this in lightroom cc too?
Yes! This same trick works in the new Lightroom Cc also
Atomic. Thank you.
I've seen nobody asking, but I'm pretty sure you could achieve a similar effect by creating a mask (background, subject...) And then using the "combine" feature to add a color range. Doesn't that mainly achieve the same thing?
Good question! More or less it IS similar, but the main improvement is speed + an easier interface :) I think the adjustments are also a tad more powerful because you can easily select up to 8 colors and make more drastic changes!
Welcome to capture one :))
ok i think you are forgetting something crucial about color mixer, to change any color that's exactly what you have to do select background and change the color on that background and vice versa. I agree this nee tool is powerfull but to neglect the fact that what you are doing with it is exactly what you would have to do with the HSL tool that's just not giving the HSL tool enough credit because that tool has been around for so long and the seperation of colors were already a thing
You’re right that Hsl is powerful on it’s own :) The big difference is now we can 1) use it in local adjustment layers 2) get more specific on which shade of a color we want, instead of ALL the shades of a color like in the HSL :)
I appreciate all the information that you are giving. One suggestion... slow down your delivery. Need time to digest all your info.
Noted! Thanks for the watch and feedback 🙂👌🏻
To be honest your examples are kinda what I don't want to do in LR.. Like massive changes and such, it's really not my style.
That being said for me this is the next best thing Adobe added after the new denoiser and I use it ALL THE TIME.
long story short I work on yachts mostly and yachts interiors as well at exteriors tends to have massive color cast.
Tons of different reasons, from mixed lights to sea reflections to sometimes poor choice of materials, whatever, it's hell to edit and make the photo looks neat and clean cos of different colors clashing.
With this tool I can selectively tweak those color cast almost to perfection without opening PS, which is a huge time saver.
Now combining that new tool WITH luminance range selection tool, that's everything I needed.
At this point for my yacht photography I barely don't need PS anymore aside from when I need to remove mirror reflections of the camera etc or some content aware fill etc.. Which could be a great addition to LR honestly (or an automatic dust spot remover cos at sea I always get droplet throughout the day that waste my time in post prod.. Or dust when photographing in places like Kenya savannahs or something where it's just impossible to keep a lens clean more than 5 mins)
Woah! Having done only a little RE photog, even THAT drove me nuts with color cast 😅 So I can only imagine yacht photography this would be a game changer.
Agreed - Dust removal and AI gen would pretty much get rid of photoshop for me 99% of the time. Bring it on Adobe!
ps - I agree with you on the examples - Not me showing off my ideal edits, just what is possible ;)
HSL panel is still here. So it doesn’t replace it.
The tool is still there, but the panel has been renamed :) Either way, I think Point Color is a MAJOR upgradeof what HSL was capable of before!
Power
Rangers!
It’s always been there though. This is just for dummies. You could make those fixes and pin point corrections with masking and curves in raw. So nothing new. We need more precision with masking,lum masking to select highly pin point spots and a brightness slider that works. Oh and let’s not forget the most important part. Better color interpretation.
While you’re totally right, doing so with curves vs point color takes a LOT longer! I’d say my adjustments are about 5x faster now, so for me it makes a big difference :)
But do what works for you!
👍
Do us LR Classic users not get these new tools? 😕
im confused! this video IS Lightroom Classic 😅👌🏻
But if you’re on the other Lightroom, it’s inside there as well 🎉
@@SignatureEdits I had to open and close the Cloud a few time before it actually showed that I had updates. All seems goo now. It kept telling me I was up to date as of 19 days ago. Weird.
Super weird! Glad you got it though :) @@noahlar
It would be amazing if the update wouldn't turn my PC into a slug 😅
😂💯
Lens blur so amateurish in Lightroom , kind of like iPhone fake depth of field . would rather isolate my focus with color grading and masks , saturation and vibrance . looks more appealing . not fake
💯👌🏻 Its an interesting effect but on a fast lens with existing bokeh, i haven’t had much use for it
It’s exactly what I thought lol
Glad you’re on top of it! 👌🏻🙂
Capture one has had this for the years…
Cool! Im just pumped I now have it in Lr🙂👌🏻
Pretty nervous with tha mouse, dude
haha maybe so!
So it’s like capture 1.😂
😅💯

Dude, you really need to do something about the mouth noise your mic picks up. It ruins the entire video for me. Your mic is probably too hot and you have too much post-processing/compression going on. I notice it's only when you use the Shure microphone.
Hey i found the playback sppeeedddb thhaat you can Leeeeet uurr braaaiinn caatccchtt uuuuuppppp Wooowww
😅👌🏻🔥 My apologies!
Great videos…but slow down.
uhhh I mean it's nothing you couldn't do previously by using a "color range'' mask and changing the HSL. I don't really see the difference.
For sure! The big deal for me is how much faster and easier it is now. And being able to do 8 colors at a time, plus stack them are definite improvements!
Dude slow down, its like you had 5 coffees and 5 lines of coke at the same time.
Wait... How did you know? 😳
LOL
LOL
Good video. Wish you explained what and why you clicked on “range” once but never again. Nothing to do w/ video - why don’t you just mask people (face or clothing)?
Hi Pamela! Range expands the amount of color you're selecting. So if you click on something red and expand the range, it might select red AND a little orange and yellow as well. But if you narrow the range, it will select only that particular SHADE of red.
I've found just masking people vs object select, object select tends to grab the mask correctly more often.. Sometimes LR has a hard time telling if something is a person or not. It is also a tad slower to let the AI find the person and skin than just to brush over the area. Just my experience!
Too fast mate, slow down!
feedback received! was it the talking speed or the speed of the demo that was too fast for you?
@@SignatureEdits Both...
I absolutely hate the new update!!!!!
Too fast !!!!!
For me its just a waste, hsl is much better than this for me 🤷♂️ its pretty much the same
Why do instructors talk so fast It’s not like giving more nuts on you ice cream that u can eat ar ur leisure. If you want to COMMUNICATE SLOW DOWN AND EVEN REPEAT its not like a news show with lots of show and style - i give up on n this one I just know its worth learning more from someone that can communiucate 7:53
Fair points Wes! Feedback received :)
could you help me out and tell me is it my speaking that is too fast, or is it the speed of my workflow and examples? Knowing Which would help me improve!
@@SignatureEdits Both...
Meh…
Fair enough 😅
