Brilliant! I’m slowly starting to “get it”. I’ve always shot in auto white balance. No longer with my portrait sessions. Thank you.

Everyone should watch this video! Lots of detailed information about colors, color temperatures in different environments and how, why and where to place your subjects in a scene. As a bonus, Daniel also goes into photoshop tools that can help enhance your vision. This man has a great eye for detail and has a wonderful way of explaining it.

Consistant skin tones has always been a challenge for me. Going to add these steps to my post-processing along with taking the camera off AWB!

Great tutorial! Daniel makes the whole “Kelvin” thing much more clear than I’ve seen before. Can’t wait to try this approach for greater consistency and less post-processing.

Great!

Some things like this, have no price. Aside of all the bits and tricks you’ve showed to us in here, it reminded me of one very important thing, and that’s to value the process and the journey to our target more. There are no shortcuts and if we want to be as professional as possible, it’s just necessary to dedicate time and patience. Well done Daniel, much appreciate you!

This is so very helpful, like all of Daniel’s tutorials. I know that I will be referencing several times until it becomes intuitive.

This was SUPER helpful! I am guilty of using auto WB which results in inconsistent skins tones and colors, all the time. Have not regretted this purchase yet!
