Learn how to perfectly color grade your images in a few easy steps! In this tutorial, we're diving into the "hidden" power of the Camera Raw Filter right inside Photoshop. We'll show you how to use professional color wheels to dial in your shadows, midtones, and highlights non-destructively.
Adobe Camera Raw's Color Grading tab, built right into Photoshop, works just like Lightroom's, letting you push separate hue, saturation, and luminance into your shadows, midtones, and highlights with either the heads-up wheels or simple sliders. Since it's all applied through a Smart Filter, you can reopen, re-tweak, or change the blend mode and opacity of the whole effect at any time.
