I agree with Greg about color.  I do look at shadows and highlights.  I use ACR to start to repair shadow and highlights  I am conservative about that.  Let CM to the heavy lifting.  I haven't worked with heavy color casts on a keeper recently.

I use camera calibration.

Starting on week 4.  <br /><br />BTN- one of the things that I do during color correction is over-saturate my corrected image and see what "blows up."  A blue or red jacket will certainly go.  Faces will get blown.  Do the shadows get too blue, does the black dress change color?  Etc.<br /><br />Lat...

Welcome.  It is fun.

BTW Greg, I am in the land of poor / no / intermittent internet.  Don't expect much until after the fourth.

I am enjoying it so far.  I assume the class is aimed at CM 101 grads who are proficient at PS.  It probably is not a photoshop class, as no special advanced selections or instructions.<br /><br />I had an idea for CM or PS.  When you soft proof, PS can show the out of gamut areas in zebras or false...

Thanks, Ganna.  I am figuring how to get caught up.  I looked at the first two weeks.  Really, skimmed to see how far behind.  The production values or format looks good. Greg has spent some time on this and I can see why it has taken a while to do.  More later.  Looks great.
 

Thanks Greg, I hope.  I do have a little concern.  I will read up and try to contribute.
