Color Harmony and Retouching in Photoshop (Udemy.com)

A good course. If you never have had an experience on color grading before. The course took you to how to color grading so as to balance the overall image. He showed techniques and practices such as masking, gradient map which were unearthing to those who're new to this like me. However, he didn't teach you how to retouch (remove blemish in the photo) He demonstrated how to do it, but at some point, you gonna wonder why he did it, but he didn't explain in the deeper level.

Watched this when I first began learning color work. It was way over my head. But after a year learning color theory and ways of working with color I came back and watching it again. Excellent course. Not only about color theory and color harmonies but how to produce masks with Apply Image (tones) and Color Range Selection (colors) and the best blend modes for tones and color work. Plenty of learning. Practicing just what is in this course will make you a master with color grading.

This is i think my 3rd or second course with Marcin he has taught me by the far the best methods to do everything about editing color grading and so much more (color harmonies) for this lesson. But again thank you sir Marcin Mikus for teaching me!!

Let me start by saying that it is evident you know your subject and that I am grateful you are willing to share your knowledge. I would like to offer you some ideas that may help you enhance the quality of your courses: - Have a script and follow it without rambling and without digressions. Sometimes it is difficult to understand what are you referring to - When you do somewhere on your screen instead of saying “I will select here” or “I will select this”, say the name of the area or object you are clicking. For example, say “I will select the hair” - When you select a tool or blend mode, clearly show it and explain why you are choosing that specific tool or blend mode - Once you finish editing an image, show clearly the “before” and the “after” image, pointing and naming the areas you modified and how you modified them. Give the students (your customers) time to absorb the differences between version of the image so they can appreciate the benefits of spending time learning and executing the editing process Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

Structure seems to be good and relevant for a course on color harmony. I think that's the most in-depth course on color harmony available anywhere. Although its again on the premise that skin is orange color. I think base on the primary color, he should have shown cases where skin can take greenish or pinkish tomes as well.

Fantabulous course! Learned amazing techniques that I'll certainly be using in the future. This course made me realize the huge difference color harmony can make. Now I want to learn even more about colors.

A good introduction to colour but for more advanced users some of the applications are incorrect. Marcin fails to include the skin colour within a lot of the colour schemes which means that you're not actually adhering images to a colour scheme completely. An example would be red and green in an image as compliments but the person also remains normal skin tone. In order for this to be a true colour scheme, the skin would have to be red or green if it was a strict complementary etc. It's a solid course choice for intermediate learning just be aware that higher levels of judgement (which is client and audience dependent), won't accept the colour schemes as "correct". Check it out, take it with a pinch of salt, it's still a lot of great information for you to learn from.

I learned a lot about how images can be in a perfect harmony and how to find the proper colours. My images really became much better with the understanding of colours and harmony. Very well explained and clear to understand. This is of course a post production course, don't forget, if you mess up your shooting, all this won't help much :)

Intro not all watched - knew already from text what was going to be covered. But then, nice overview of different colour harmonies. Working on images, it would have been useful to actually refer back and see the positions on the colour wheel a bit more for us who are new to this. Later sessions seemed very tightly focussed on portrait retouching detail which was of less interest to me as a photographer and digital artist. Also, the tutor could see component colours much more clearly than me: I had never thought of Caucasian skin as yellow tone, for example. (I think Photoshop gives RGB info but to date have not taken much notice of this. Maybe I will now!) More about colour in composition would have been good as well as how to actually, practically use the Paletton tool mentioned (or similar). I learned a fair bit though - apply image, luminosity layers, how to start to think in color wheel terms so am not unhappy with the course. Now I am off to have a closer look at Paletton!

It was okay. It got through the main idea about choosing the right colors, but I expected more. Only 2 photos were given as a material and one of them was not the one used in lessons. it repeated itself over. Also would have been great to see the command that were used since not all of them were explained. Overall an average course, it should have included more information or made shorter.
