Dabble in color with presets.
Presets are like filters on steroids. In the Creative section of the Lumetri Color panel, find a look that resonates with you. (Michelle likes SL Blue Day4Nite.) Click to apply it and then subtly adjust the look’s intensity and vibrance.
Remove the color to reveal highlights and shadows.
Follow Michelle’s technique for finessing your color. In the Basic Correction section of the Lumetri Color panel, decrease the saturation to zero. Increase the highlights, shadows, and contrast a little or a lot — depending on the final look you’re going for.
Bring back the color.
Now restore the saturation to see the color. In the Curves section of the Lumetri Color panel, make two points in the RGB Curves and move them slightly until you like what you see. Color is so personal; there’s no right or wrong way. Get super creative in the Hue vs. Hue curve. (You can even turn skin blue!)
