What This Color Grading Class Is About

You can have great composition, sharp focus, and good lighting, and the image still won’t look professional if the color is off. Strange color casts, unnatural skin tones, and images that don’t match each other in a set are some of the most common issues photographers and editors face, and most tutorials only show you what buttons to click without explaining why.
  • Understand the difference between color correction and color grading, and why getting that order right changes everything
  • Fix white balance, color casts, and inconsistent skin tones using Camera Raw, Adjustment Layers, and AI-assisted tools in Photoshop
  • Apply professional color grading workflows to portraits, wedding photos, and urban photography with real intention behind every decision
  • Learn how professionals build consistent color across a full set of images: not just one photo at a time
  • Create your own presets, LUTs, and Photoshop actions so your color style is repeatable and saves you time on every future edit
You won’t just know how to grade a photo; you’ll understand color deeply enough to make the right call on any image, in any situation.
