Hidden Color Grading Features Inside Photoshop CS6

Hi.  Welcome to my blog.  Today I wanted to share a quick video on a hidden feature that I found while playing inside of Photoshop CS6.  Photoshop is such a vast program, and it changes every year, so it is impossible for you to know every single feature.  I guess that is why I like Photoshop so much.  I love to stumble into new features that I didn’t know existed.  The new feature that I found is called a gradient map, and there are a bunch of gradient presets that Adobe developed specifically for photography to do color grading.  I just love old photos and sometimes I like to try to simulate them and apply various types of toning.  I am especially fond of platinum toning.  I am so happy to have found this new toning option, for it’s a simple feature that can unlock all sorts of creativity.

So instead of trying to explain how you use this new feature, why not take a few minutes and watch the video.  I want to thank you for taking time to visit my blog today.  If you have any questions or suggestions for upcoming posts, please comment below. I hope you all have a great day.  Thomas Shue
