PRECISION Color Grading with Blend If in Photoshop

► Watch the HSL Color Grade Video:    • EASILY Color Grade ANY Photo in Photoshop ...  

I showed you how to easily color grade a photo a few weeks ago. It brought out a LOT of questions about split toning, luminosity masks, and more advanced thoughts. I figured I would follow up that Color Grading video with a more advanced look at color grading with my favorite tool... Blend If!

Blend If is intimidating, I get it. First and foremost, it is very difficult to find in Photoshop and because it is so secluded, we almost forget about it. It's also not described very well and there are many ways to use it depending on how you are working with it.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to blend highlights and shadows with different color grades using Blend If. I will also show you how to protect ANY color with Blend If as well!
