With that information you can start to develop more complex color grades. If you click on this link here, it will take you to a site which gives you clear visual understanding of complementary colors. As a general rule, colors that sit on opposite sides on color wheels work well together.Ī brilliant way to get a better understanding of complementary colors is by using the tool Adobe has on its website. On the color wheel in the software, yellow sits on the opposite side to blue which helps you see complementary colors more effectively. For example, the color that generally complements blue well is yellow. For this reason, having a color wheel is more effective than standard sliders, because you can see the complementary colors. When it comes to color grading your images, understanding complementary colors is helpful. What tone wheels do is allow you to control the different colors in each of those three segments. In most images, you have your highlights, midtones, and shadows. Essentially, tone wheels allow you to control the color and tones in your image.

To add to that, ACDSee now also offers Tone Wheels in its latest version. A color wheel is obviously useful for a numbers reasons. The first feature is the color wheel which was covered by Jordana in her article. With the latest version for the software, ACDSee has taken this a huge leap forward by adding a number of features that I think will be popular. One of the things that remained consistently true with all the different versions, was that ACDSee always did a great job in reading color from files. It's what gives many images that emotional connection that we feel and that connection can make or break an image.įor the last year or so, I've been testing out a number of different versions of ACDSee software. If you've read any of my previous articles, color is the thing that I'm frequently yapping on about, because it really is crucial. Color is one of the most important aspects in photography.
