  1. I like your tutorial and explanation however what its missing is the source image color and values when applying these grading techniques. IE: the gucci ad would prove difficult to replicate without masking and isolating target areas. The original of these examples would be the ideal sample. Global moves might not get you there.

  2. 10:23min checking for color grading by saturation worked SO well using a model's image found on my computer. It showed that the retoucher color graded her skin red to produce the effect.

    More importantly, I see how I can use toggling FILL percents and COLOR BALANCE layers to achieve a look similar to those I've always wanted! A door has been opened for me @Jorge Tamez thank you!
