Color Expert Mezame Takes Infinite Color Panel For A Spin

I’ll be honest – I did not read the instructions, nor did I catch any tutorial videos prior to getting a copy of Infinite Color Panel. All I know is that it is a color-grading plugin that has an intuitive UI which promises limitless possibilities for color-grading in Photoshop. My workflow involves Capture One and Photoshop and I wonder how this plugin would fit in.

I decided to just let curiosity run its course and dove straight into the plugin on a journey of discovery, and I realized it was the missing piece of the workflow all along!

Following an easy installation process, I started retouching my first image and played around with the plugin. And when I meant “playing”, I really meant it! Instead of cumbersome plugins that put the word “work” in “workflow”, the process of discovering colors made the whole process more fun and engaging. I found myself wondering what would Infinite Color Panel surprise me with next! The plugin ultimately allows me to bring up possible tones and color-grading that I would have otherwise not thought of.

Instead of referring to color charts, or implementing tried and tested presets, or be encumbered by current visual trends, I let myself be free and let the plugin take me on a journey of discovery. The randomness made me realize there are so many possibilities out there! The fact that I can toggle certain aspects of the plugin on and off also made customizing possibilities possible. The fact that I can save these colors in Library also assured me that I would not lose certain looks that I love.

My concept portrait photography and cosplay portrait photography works were given fresh looks in a few easy steps that I would otherwise would probably struggle on for quite a fair bit to achieve using traditional methods. I can’t wait to try this on my toy photography projects too!

I highly recommend this plugin to anyone who wishes to take color-grading to the next level! Whether you are a professional or a hobbyist, this is something you should have as part of your retouching workflow.
