The AB Grid: Shadows, Highlights, and Beyond

This video from my series teaching how to use 3D LUT Creator is entitled "The AB Grid: Shadows, Highlights, and Beyond". It is the second in the series that teaches the AB Grid (if you haven't seen the first, it can be viewed here:    • Learn 3D LUT Creator: The A/B Grid  ).

This video demonstrates how to split the AB grid into two grids, one controlling the shadows and the other the highlights. I also explain how to adjust what the program considers shadows and highlights, thus putting you in full control of the colors in your images. From there I move on to discussing selecting, pinning, and moving single and multiple points and demonstrate how that might be used in adjusting the color of an image.

3D LUT Creator is probably the most powerful and sophisticated software available for working with color. Blasphemous as it may sound, it's more powerful than Photoshop. However, most still photographers haven't heard of it because it has mainly been used in the video world. Nonetheless, its power has been designed to be equally harnessed for still photography. One problem, however, is that its documentation is, in my opinion, not particularly clear and there is precious little training available for the software.

My goal for this video series is to generate interest in the software (I have no financial association or affiliation) and provide a video course that will clearly teach and explain how this remarkable software can be used in conjunction with Photoshop to help achieve one's artistic vision in still photography.
