Master the Tone Curve in 9 MINUTES!

💻 The Contrast Slider is one of the WORST ways to add contrast to your images. In this video, you'll learn how to use the Tone Curve to add completely customized contrast to every image. When you add contrast to your images with the Contrast Slider, you equally decrease the darks as you increase the lights. While this might work on some images, it tends to crush the black and blow out the highlights. Instead of using this slider, I use the Tone Curve, which is the completely customizable way to adjust contrast in your photos. The Tone Curve allows you to put multiple points on a line, adjusting only specific parts of your image. This is the best way to add contrast to your photos, and you'll never need the Contrast Slider again once you learn how to use the Tone Curve. 📷 10 Photo Tips in 10 Minutes - Download my most popular tutorial for FREE: https://www.austinjamesjackson.com/10... 🖥️ Check out my NEW Lightroom Classic Tutorial, covering absolutely everything you need to know from start to finish: https://austinjamesjackson.teachable....
