There are often multiple ways to achieve the same result when editing photos, and that’s especially true when correcting a photo’s color tone. One of the most powerful and effective tools for doing this in Lightroom is the tone curve. If you are new to this tool and don’t know how to use it yet, watch this great video tutorial that will give you an introduction to the tone curve and how to use it to make better edits. .
Coming to you from Anthony MorgantiThis awesome video tutorial will show you the details of the tone curve in Lightroom. Simply put, a tone curve is a graphical representation of luminance values. The horizontal axis represents all luminance values as they were in the image before adjustment, while the vertical axis represents the values you want to map them to. Manipulating this curve allows you to very quickly and accurately do things like sharpen shadows, increase deep contrast, and more. It’s worth getting used to it. Check out the video above for a full rundown from Morganti.
