In this tutorial, I demonstrate my approach to color grading using Lightroom, with some final touches in Photoshop. The bulk of the color grading process occurs in Lightroom, where I manipulate various settings to achieve the desired look. I focus on adjusting aspects like exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, and color tones to create a cohesive and visually appealing result. Additionally, I provide insights into how Camera Raw users can replicate these techniques, as the tool layout in Camera Raw mirrors that of Lightroom. Once the color grading is complete, I move to Photoshop for minor adjustments and skin retouching. In Photoshop, I fine-tune the colors further and perform skin retouching using dodge and burn techniques to enhance the overall appearance. This comprehensive tutorial covers the entire workflow from start to finish, ensuring that photographers of all skill levels can follow along and achieve professional-grade results. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced photographer looking to refine your color grading skills, this tutorial offers valuable insights and techniques to elevate your images and bring your creative vision to life.
