Editing Toolbox: De-mystifying the Colour Grading Tool
Jul 15, 2022By Craig Turner-Bullock
Have you ever wondered what the colour grading adjustments in Lightroom actually do?
Well, wonder no more! In this Editing Toolbox, I'll give you a tour of the controls and show you how to use them. They can be a powerful way to enhance the tones of an image and create a more emotive edit, using colour to add mood.
Used subtly, colour grading can turn a great image into an outstanding one. What's even better, is it's not as difficult to use as you might think.
