    ** For some reason this video has blown up out of nowhere, and it's been brought to my attention that the method is the same as that in a video by a channel called PiXimperfect. I have since checked and while yes, the method is the same, I can assure you that prior to making this video, I had not seen his video on this subject. We live in a world where parallel thinking is a very real thing, with this being a solid example of such things. With that in mind, if you'd like to see his video, you can do so here: • Steal the Color Gradin... he arguably does a far better job of explaining this than I do. Also, I won't be responding to any further comments accusing me of "stealing" this video.**

    • @omnirhythm
      @omnirhythm Před 4 lety +20

      It wouldn't work, there's a lot more fiddling to be done as well as masking stuff in the photo as you don't want everything to appear colourized. It's a color guide at best.

    • @elonlove343
      @elonlove343 Před 4 lety +6

      How often will you use a mars effect lol? Don't think of it that way. You can use the method he showed to replicate any color grade from any movie.

    • @elonlove343
      @elonlove343 Před 4 lety +1

      @KolTony It actually does work because you're taking the exact colors from the image itself. Now the problem with that is you're taking away the human eye. That is why afterwards you have to tweak it. Color grade it. Play with it. Mess around with it to try to make it your own look. But copying a movies colors gives you a base to play with.

    • @elonlove343
      @elonlove343 Před 4 lety

      @KolTony I get what you're saying but I'm saying this method scientifically gives you the closest thing to the exact colors used in your favorite movies. Now can you just drag and drop to every video and will it work? Ofcourse not. But if you've been using photoshop for a long time this method takes like 2 mins. And for color grading photoshop is a lot better than lightroom especially if you're color grading for video.

    Sorry to say, but this method is not really a good choice. Doing it the way described in the video does work on monchromatic color grades like in the Marsian (all orange) or Matrix (all green). But if you have more colors like the classical teal and orange look i.e. this does not work.
