I am reminded of the Back to the Future theme song by Huey Lewis and the News, “That’s the power, that’s the power of Curves”, oh wait that was the power of love. Anyway, the curves adjustment layer runs a lot deeper than you think in the post processing world. If it does not have a place in your workflow, you may want to watch this one and see how you can use curves not only for white balance.
In this tutorial I will show you how I breakdown an image into it’s 3 main parts, Highlight, Shadow, and Mid tones and modify them independently with the power of curves. I even throw in a pretty cool dollar fifty trick you can tell all your friends!
f.64 Academy and f.64 Elite are the brainchildren of Blake Rudis. While he is a landscape photographer, he is most passionate about post-processing images in Photoshop and mentoring others.
For Blake, it's all about the art and process synergy. He dives deep into complex topics and makes them easy to understand through his outside-the-box thinking so that you can use these tricks in your workflow today!

Amazing tutorial. Thank you so much. I do most of my editing with curves, so… I’m a curves fan !! That selection you do with only the shadows, the highlights and midtones into individual adjustment layers is just a game changer for me. Thank you so much. You rock!!
