While revisiting Capture One recently, I came across a fantastic feature called Match Look. This tool allows you to select a colour-graded image and apply the same look to another photo seamlessly. It’s a game-changer for streamlining the editing process and also very useful for wedding photography where clients can often request different looks. Whether it's vintage brown tones, high key or dark and moody. This discovery got me wondering how to achieve a similar outcome in Adobe Lightroom. Although Lightroom doesn’t currently have a feature as intuitive as Match Look, there is a relatively straightforward workaround.
By using the Colour Grading panel and tweaking the shadows, midtones and highlights with Selective Colour, you can replicate a similar effect.
In the short video below, I guide you through the process step by step. While this method may require some fine-tuning to perfect the final result, it’s a quick and effective way to get your edits into the right ballpark.
