If you apply a yellow tint to the highlights and want that tint to extend farther into the midtones/shadows, move the Balance slider to the right. For example, if you apply a blue tint to the shadows and want that tint to extend farther into the midtones/highlights, move the Balance slider to the left. The Balance Slider-Use the Balance slider to shift the range of values that define the shadows/midtones/highlights. The Luminance controls are intended to make color grading specific changes and are optimized to adjust the color tinting ranges as changes are made to the Blending and Balance sliders.

Lightening the Shadows and darkening the highlights enables color to be added to the black and white pixels in an image.

The Luminance Slider-Drag the Luminance slider (beneath each color wheel) to darken/lighten each color range. Note: Fine Adjustment mode does not use the soft-constraint. Option -drag (Mac) | Alt -drag (Win) the dot will move it more slowly, enabling finer adjustments to both Hue and Saturation.To limit refinements to the Saturation, drag the hollow dot within the color wheel (Lightroom displays a soft constraint (spoke) between the center and edge) or, Shift-drag to restrict refinement to Saturation. Dragging the dot far enough away from the initially selected spot will break the constraint and enable you to select a different Hue and Saturation.To limit refinements to the Hue, drag the solid colored dot (handle) on the edge of the wheel or, Command -drag (Mac) | Control -drag (Win) the hollow dot within the color wheel to restrict refinements to Hue.Quickly select the desired Hue and Saturation by clicking in a color wheel. Īpplying Colors-The Default view of the Color Grading panel displays 3 color wheels: one for shadows, midtones, and highlights. When opening legacy files (or applying legacy presets that contain Split Tone settings), the color tints will be applied in the Color Grading panel (using the Shadows and Highlight color wheels and the Blending slider if necessary) to achieve a perfect match. The Split Tone Panel-The new 3-way Color Grading panel upgrades (and replaces) the Split Tone panel. Note: you need to position your cursor over the Color Wheel in the Detail view for the shortcuts that I mention in the video to work! This video will walk you through the feature or, you can read all about it below. Colors can be applied independently to shadows, highlights and midtones in your image with additional controls to blend, shift balance, and change luminosity values. Note: all of Lightroom’s companion files (lrdata packages/folders for Previews and Sync for example), will automatically be renamed based on name of the upgraded catalog.ĬOLOR GRADING-Lightroom Classic’s new Color Grading Panel enables even more control over the application of color tints to your images.

You can choose to keep the default name for the upgraded catalog: (currentCatalogName)-lrcV10 or, choose a name of your own. When prompted to upgrade, Lightroom Classic displays a window where you can rename the catalog as desired. Upgrading your catalog creates a new copy of your catalog, so your existing catalog remains intact in the unlikely event that you would want to return to version 9.
