Sometimes we all wish we could sprinkle a little movie magic on our photos. In fact, it’s pretty simple to do and there are numerous colour tools in Lightroom to help us. You could use the Tone Curve’s individual colour channels, or the oft-missed Calibration panel. Even the HSL panel can be used for creative rather than corrective means. Here, though, you’ll see the Color Grading panel in action.
