Just go black and white, man. It's easier, even for people with full colour vision.

>>2896530
Are they that bad? :/

>>2896534
First one is way way too blue. Second one is closer to accurate, but I still think that you're better just going to black and white. You can still differentiate tones just fine, right?

>>2896534
Well, the first shot is just a wash of cyan with some green, and the second shot has purple shadows with lime-colored foliage.

Besides going B&W for most of your work, or trusting your camera to produce accurate colors, you could try working out a system. There are basic number rules to follow with a variety of subject matter, for instance plant life has more yellow in it than green, and there exist specific ratios of magenta and yellow in human skin when following the CMYK color space. I have heard of color-blind print engineers who made very few mistakes because they never trusted their eyes and went only by the numbers they knew. Even a person with perfect color vision can be fooled sometimes because of the adaptive nature of the human eye.

While I don't have a concrete guide on how to read these values and apply them to your work, the best I can offer is to look at photographs people consider to have good color, and note the values in RGB, CMYK and LAB spaces, and compare them to subjects in your own work. Then if something has a significant divergence between established ratios, then you definitely know that you're on the wrong track. Open up the Info box in Photoshop and use it religiously.

>>2896536
Nope, tones are super bad for me to see..
>>2896540
Thanks, I'll definitely work on that.. And probably stick to time-lapse and b/w photos lol

Have you tried working with the histogram?

It's a complete, virtually non-recoverable disaster - but you'll figure it out.

My word, that's astonishingly big.

Bart's right:
>>2896568
This isn't fixable. At this point you just need to relearn the basics, from scratch. Just forget whatever you think and start over. Fortunately, you're just starting, so it's no great loss.

>>2896566
>I tried to look cool... Did it work?
Here's some basic advice: Don't try to do crazy shit yet. Don't try to make things look cool. Just focus on taking a picture and making that picture look like reality. It's probably harder than you think.

>>2896558
>Nope, tones are super bad for me to see..
so basically, you're not colourblind, you're just fucking BLIND?

what on earth convinced you that the visual arts field was a good idea?
become a musician or writer or something.

99.5% of the pixels in this photo are a shade of cyan. The remaining few pixels are green or blue.

What the fuck, man?

>>2896718
>>2896558
with tones
do you mean Hue or Value?

Value is everything, all the little steps between white and black

Hue is the saturation of the color.

>>2896816
>Hue is the saturation of the color.
No, it's not.

Hue is the specific color along the color spectrum. Saturation is the degree of chromatic purity of any given hue. You can have a color which is purely comprised of a particular hue, without dilution. That's high saturation. You can have the same color, but that color can be dulled by white or black hues and thus less pure. It's the exact same hue as before, just less saturated.

No

What a time to be on /p/

>>2898799
Friend, autopost is a thing.

>>2896525
Is this what everything looks like when you're colourblind? Jeez

>>2898818
On second thoughts
Git gud at photography and make a book of photos like this so the rest of us get to see what it's like to be colourblind. I don't know if that's been done

You can use the histogram to fix levels and curves without even looking at the image

Just watch a Youtube vid on RGB levels

>>2898837
While it's good to understand what's going on in levels and curves to be able to do something like that, it's a fuckawful approach to doing post processing.

Buy these dope shades boi

>>2898820
I've seen pictures of how doges see, all yellow blue and grey. They're fun

>>2898855
its probably better than doing it yourself if you are colourblind lel

It's a mess. While it is possible to improve it, the picture isn't good enough to warrant the time involved.

yes yes i knew that as soon as I've posted it
obviously saturation is the saturation of the color

I didn't edit because that's not the point I was trying to make

If op can't see both values and color then what point is there trying to get good at photography
but if op Can see values op could work in B/W just fine

>>2900613
That's actually an impressive edit of that train wreck. Honestly. I'm surprised you got that much out of it.

>>2896525
>>2896525
maybe look into color correcting glasses if you're heart is set on color photography.

>>2896525 (OP)
what kind of colorblindness do you have?
