Video Lesson: The Art of Toning

Master the magic of color with Lab toning in Photoshop.

Learn the exact toning technique behind my fine art images — short, focused and ready to use on your own photos. This is not a preset. You see every layer, every step, and why it works.

Why Lab toning gives cleaner color

Most photographers tone their images in RGB, and the colors quickly become muddy. In the Lab color space, color is separated from brightness. This lets you shift the color mood of the whole image without dirty tones and without losing detail.

In this lesson I explain what the Lab color space is and show how to use Lab curves to create a unique, personal color look — while keeping the skin tones natural.

What you will learn

• what the Lab color space is and why it gives you advanced color control
• how to work non-destructively with a Smart Object
• how to tone an image with the A (green/magenta) and B (blue/yellow) curves
• how to protect skin tones with a mask for a natural look
• how to avoid dirty colors and give your photos a signature look
