*Do you struggle with color in your photography? Me too!*
I accidentally stumbled upon a checks and balances layer that can help you determine a few things. Be prepared to go through your portfolio with a fine-toothed comb. After watching this, you will be able to answer ALL of these questions with one SIMPLE 50% Grey Layer!
1. What colors does your viewer notice first?
2. What colors are secondary to the viewer?
3. What is my dominant color scheme?
4. How much color is too much color (or too little)?
