- Lightroom CC/Mobile Version!!! - • Unlock Lightroom CC Hi...
Another week, another Lightroom tutorial! This week we are talking about Lightroom's Calibration panel and how it will seriously change how you edit your images. I cannot stress enough how much this can change how you edit and add to your images without making them look overly done.
As always thanks for watching and please let me know what you think down below. Here's the link to that Fstoppers article I talk about in the video:

5 years I have been using lightroom and never bothered one bit on this calibration tool, after seeing this - mind blown. Liked and Subscribed!
Welcome Dan and thank you!
Same here!
Same!
Not gonna lie, this really did make a huge difference! Not only is it minimally invasive, but also takes far less effort to achieve what used to take hours (sometimes) of playing around with the HSL slider adjustments, thank you very much for this!
Thats the idea! You're very welcome :)
@@AlexArmitage @b.lew_photography I'm blown away.
I always wondered what that panel was for but never cared to look into it. I’m glad this popped up in my feed. Thanks for this!
Anytime Ben, thanks for taking the time to comment :)
Lol, that’s definitely NOT what that panel is for.
@@Seanonyoutube who cares? it's given a few images of mine an extra pop that I didn't think possible
Pushing all the colors in the calibration tool way up and then fine tuning with the HSL tool seems to open a lot more possibilities since the HSL tool has so many sliders for different colors and one has control of hue, saturation and luminance in one convenient panel. I have wondered for a long time what the calibration panel was for but the Adobe literature was very vague. Thanks for your hard work!
Been using the calibration panel for years. I noticed long ago how it worked so much better because it's so subtle at adding color.
calibration mixed with WB, split toning, curves and... more color grading stuff xD
After 20 videos watched about color grading and preset plus a bit a frustration I finally found a real good explanation, thank you for your professionalism and the quality of your work, +1 follower
Hey ty and welcome!
Great simple tip, thanks! Really like your approach Alex.
I’m colourblind (reds/greens/blues) and really struggled with editing as my earlier images were really saturated, I would bump up the colour until I could see them pop but by that point it was way too much. Nowadays I do all of my local adjustments and then when I feel my image is finished I desaturate the whole image. This seems to have been working for me but obviously it will desaturate the whole image and not just specific areas etc. What you have just demonstrated will be so much easier for me to edit my images. Thanks
Stevie, I can't imagine trying to edit with any form of colorblindness, it's awesome to hear this helped! Thanks for letting me know.
Excellent tutorial ! This will be an eyeopener to those discovering this powerful creative tool through this video.
Thanks, never used this and never seen anyone discuss it. Fascinating.
Alex I love watching them as well.. Thank You for making them
Now someone needs to make a video on what this is actually doing!
changing the value of the RGB pixels as a whole that make up the image instead of just changing that individual color.
Each color in an image is made up of red, green, and blue. These adjustments effect every pixel on the image, not just the solid colors.
@@apieceofenergy but changing them how?
Your description could fit even the basic adjustments like levels and curves.
Really amazing tutorial and explanation of what you're doing and why, seeing the befores and afters were really useful and you provided a really nice analysis of how this will improve our photography more naturally - thank you and great work!
You're very welcome!
this is cool! Thanks for showing!
This is incredible, thank you so much!
Really interesting and effective.
Well done, Alex, and thank you. That wasn't too many images and it wasn't too much information; it was just reinforcing the same principle as an aid to absorbing that information. You got the balance just right. Subbed.
Now I'm off to turn the blue slider up in all my old edits...!
You might have to readjust a few things if you turn the slider up after your edits, so keep that in mind! And thanks for the sub :)
@@AlexArmitage I figured that might be the case. :D
Really appreciate you sharing this idea with us !!
This one is a game changer! Thank you!!
I guess this is the most revolutionary technique I have come across recently, at least for myself.
That’s a real revelation , thank you
I have been using Lightroom for a long time and without your video, I likely would not have tried this. It works great! I went back in to a bunch of old images and tried it, worked on them all. Thanks for the tip!
My hopes was to show even people who've edited for years might be missing out. I certainly was when I discovered it. Thanks for the comment!
This video is gold! Thank you.
I’ve always been afraid that i’ll mess up my photo because of the calibration tool but this has opened my eye big time. Thanks man! I’m definitely trying this the next time i open Lr!
Awesome! Let me know how you like the results
This was interesting man! I enjoyed it. I do use the calibration for the Orange and teal look. I think I learner something here. Can't wait to try it out..
You're very welcome!
Hugely helpful ❤️
Good tutorial! I love learning new tips!
I'm addicted to this kind of videos
Basically, this is what happens during "the blue hour" which always emphasis colors a lot. Smart!!!
Love this! Great information. Thank you so much.
Excellent tutorial and really well explained. Thank you Alex.
I’ve used the calibration tool loads but never the saturation slider! Thanks for the great content
*update* I’ve found that the blue saturation slider does in fact increase saturation way too much and I do not use it
Evan Edinger Lol aren’t you the duolingo guy?
@@jarne5581 Depends on the image you use. I always adjust the blue saturation when editing landscapes (not always 100%). It should almost be compulsory!!
I think you have to look out with your sky and maybe the white houses in your photo's got some more blue on it aswell. But if the colors need to be more realistic or accurate you can't just put that slider to 100%
Really appreciate the effort in making the video and generosity in sharing the tip. Thanks very much.
Yes I did change my editing forever. Tried it with some photos from a mountain trip -> mind blowing!
Awesome :) Glad it helped
man.. this is fascinating
totally new concept for me - and i've been using LR for a long time
upvoted - new sub - belled
and saved this vid in my favorites
Omg so much pressure! Haha. Thank you and I'm glad it's actually helping people.
Same here! Thanks for the tips! 👍🏽
You keep making videos I didn’t know I needed
Well hopefully I don't run out of ideas haha
This is truly helpful gonna try it to portrait
Thank you for this. It really has made a difference on my pictures. I will continue to practice this. Very useful!
Interesting. I normally adjust my white balance slightly on the blue/cyan side using the colour balance tool with just the shadow and mid tones, leaving the highlights white. because I think colours pop better with more contrast, but I will give this a try.
man this vids are like a cheat sheet for GTA :D
Wow. Just like that ? Colors just pop up and image get lively. No sky rocket science. You just tell us plain and simple and it's working. Thank you so much I'm subscribing
Hey thanks Gilbert and welcome :) Not sure i'll have any other tips quite this straight forward but here is hoping!
I love the way your think and present the information! You are a great teacher and seem like such a humble guy! Appreciate you!
That is really wonderful of you to say Scott, thank you so much.
How has this channel only 788 subscribers?!
Awesome work! :)
it's the thing in the nose :)
Not for long I think! 📈
The train is rollin!! Thank you :)
"What I do do" lmfaooo every time
Really appreciate this video man. Watched from start to finish, extremely helpful and insightful - will for sure be playing around with that blue hue!
Thank you for sharing cant wait to try the calibration tool out on the next edit...
Would love to hear about your results or feel free to share
I never knew this! Talk about a game changer. I will absolutely be trying this on my future edits. Thank you, Alex.
Anytime Chris!
CZcams recommended to me. You’re hitting your stride my boy! I subbed.
Woohoo! Welcome and thank you :)
Hey Alex, great video. Your video poped up while i was searching on yt and I have to say it was very helpful, cant wait to give it a try. Thanks
Hey thanks so much Maxim and glad to help!
super grateful for this tutorial! Thank you!
7:16 lol, it’s *exactly* is if you’re adding saturation to that area. You just made the rocks blue.
It's certainly increasing the saturation, no doubt about that.
@@AlexArmitage the calibration panel is primarily used in situations where colors must remain consistent between different cameras. Interestingly though, if you’ve ever used a color passport, the slider that always seems to increase in saturation is that blue slider. It makes me think that perhaps most sensors out there today slightly under saturate the blues for whatever reason...
Wish they had calibration in Lightroom CC cause I edit all my pics off my iPad Pro :(
Just create a profile in Lightroom CC with the changes at calibration tool and export & import
Very good use of my time watching this. Thank you
terrific advise! Thank you!
He said "do-do"
yeah best part indeed
Thank you so much man, i love the effect this makes
Any time!
Awesome!
Thanks SO much for sharing this great tip!!
Mind blown. Thank you!
Wow, what a difference!!! I've used lightroom for some time yet still new to things you can do in it. I never even looked all the way at the bottom. Thanks, I will surely be using this more
Thank you! Glad it made a difference :)
This is crazy!!! It makes the picture look so good!!!! Amazing tutorial thank you! Can't wait to try it out myself!!
Thank you! let me know how it goes
This is a Gem 💎
Hi Alex, thank you so much for this video. It was extremely useful.
Thank you for this. What a diffence it makes!
Thanks Jos!
This is the one panel I was never using in Lightroom, but from now on I will definitely give it a look. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Anytime! Thanks Richard
Excellent tutorial. Easy to learn and super useful.
Very nice, easy to follow video with some great ideas. Couldn't ask for more really. Subscribed after the subtle hint at the beginning.
What subtle hint? Definitely not subliminal messaging here!
OMG Alex! this is an amazing eye-opener for me! I just did this with one of my images, that I just couldn't make 'sing' and wow the difference is amazing, just pushing the blue calibration slider. Only came across your site two days ago and subscribed straight away. Love your calm, quiet approach to all your work. Keep it up, Jules
This is great to hear Julie and thank you so much! It really can do magic in some photos. Glad it worked for yours.
Bravo! So useful 🙏
Great! Will try!
That was impressive! I've been using LR since its second version but still found this session to be incredibly useful. Liked and subscribed. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge.
Thank you so much for being generous with your comment!
Excellent quality video. Great title opener! Outstanding sound quality. A pleasure to watch and listen too! Thanks!
Wow thanks Scott! Much appreciated :)
Thank for this awesome tip!
Wow!...Just tried it and love this!....Thank you Alex!
Anytime! Thank you.
What a great video! I had watched one photographer say he never uses this feature, so I ignored this tool, but was still curious. Thanks for the tip and for giving several examples to really show the subtle impact of calibration.
I'm sure there's a tool I'm not using enough either... Hopefully I figure out what that is! Glad you like it.
Fantastic tip! Wow! Thank you Alex!
My pleasure!
Alex, I can't thank you enough for this video...
I love your work! Keep it up
Thank you Ricardo! The train won't stop anytime soon
Great video Alex. This was super insightful for me. Thanks and looking forward to seeing more videos!
Thanks Amanda!
That’s a very interesting detail of LR. Thanks!
Thanks for this. Definitely giving it a try next time I edit a landscape
Very helpful!! Thanks a ton!
Your tutorials are so fluent and easy to understand. Subbed and learning new things which is amazing! Keep on it my guy!
Hey thank you for the kind words :)
Excellent. Clear and to the point. Chapeau.
Excellent!!!
Excellent ! thank u so much for giving me the push i needed to get back on the Camera Calibration wagon :)
A lot of very useful information homie, thanks for sharing!
Anytime Cody, thank you.
Wow thank you, what a game changer! Just love learning about these small, easy little adjustments like this that end up making a huge difference! I've never even touched the calibration tab before, but will now use it for everything :D
That’s the idea! Although I think it might be the only thing I use like that though haha
Simply Amazing! I have no words to explain how appreciative I am of watching this video. I felt like I have discovered the cheat code to stunning image editing. Thank You so much. Liked and subscribed.
This is phenomenal! Luckily your article popped up on my Google Now homepage. I've been playing around with Calibration the last couple of months and saw that there was something there but couldn't quite put my finger on it. Thank you so much for this! I'm excited to use this in my images. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Tim! I'd love to hear how it turns out.
Very cool tool! thanks
What a great video! Keep it up king
Hah not sure how to take that but thank you
Very helpful. Many thanks.
This is magic! Thank you for sharing! Thats actually really inspiring lol
Thanks Alex for sharing this another great tip
Thanks Floyd!
I went back to a couple of photos I just took and tried this on them. I can't believe the extra little pop I'm getting with the colors!
Very helpful, many thanks for sharing. Happy to try this. 👍
Anytime Paul :)
Massive thanks Alex! You just opened my eyes, mind and expanded my LR skills - that's huge!
Wishing you a great holiday season man and excellent 2021. Stay well :D
