Hidden Algorithms in Adobe Photoshop for Easy Color Correction

It doesn't matter for how long you have used Adobe Photoshop, there is always more you can learn. In this video, learn some lesser-known functions hidden away in menus for working on the colors of your images.

I have discussed the depth of Photoshop a few times and it never fails to regularly remind me just how deep it is. I started learning Photoshop about 18 years ago and I remember thinking that there was so much to the software that it was borderline unmasterable. Then, as these learning curves tend to go, I started to build up an arsenal of techniques and tools and felt as if I was getting rather good at it. Finally, when you actually are rather good at it, you realize how much you don't know.

All of these years later and I still feel the same way. In fact, I'm arguably worse because I rarely seek out new techniques anymore. I have all the tools I need to complete the work I do to the standard I want, and there are rarely situations in which I look at an image and think that it could be significantly improved by someone better at Photoshop than I am. This is a limiting way to work, particularly with software as fast-changing as Photoshop.

In this video, Photoshop Training Channel walks you through some automated tools that are a little hidden away. A few of these techniques I was aware of, but the first example I had absolutely no idea it existed.
