Photo Editing Color grading is an editing technique used to further highlight colors in photo and video objects. The use of color grading is more often done in the process of making videos than in photo editing. But the basic principle remains the same, whether applied to photos or videos. Well, on this occasion I want to share how to do color grading on photos using Adobe Photoshop.
1. Open up the photo for the editing color grading, high definition is recommended.
2. Open the layer palette and click the Create New Fill or Adjustment Layer. then choose curve.
3. Make sure Layer Curves 1 is highlighted, then in the Properties Palette set Curves as needed, then set the Blending Mode to Luminosity in the Layer Palette.
4. Continue to add a new Adjustment layer by clicking the Create New Fill or Adjustment Layer button. Then select Curves.
5. On Layer Curves 2, pay attention to the Properties Palette, click the RGB dropdown, then adjust as needed for each color (red, green, blue). I will give an example by giving a slight bluish effect (because it is often used in widescreen films).
6. If the color obtained is as desired, the next process is to highlight the dark and light parts. Click Create New Fill or Adjustment Layer again, then select Channel Mixer.
7. In the Preset dropdown, choose the setting with the most contrast between black and white, and then set the Channel Mixer layer's opacity to 24% (adjust to the photo you're editing).
8. And, the color grading is done.

For photo editing color grading is really useful for the condition of lack of real color processing in the camera, in the creative world photographer tend to lean on a more neutral color preset for their photo the reason is the neutral color is more flexible to work with especially for photo editing color grading were very easy to use rather than moreover a contrasted photo that has little room to work with.
