Hi
I do a lot of video editing and really like using the RGB Parade and Vectorscope.

Histogram for photos aren't as detailed. Is there any plugins or features that have similar functions like RGB Parade and Vectorscope for use inside Lightroom or maybe as an external editor?

Best regards Simon

Do you think many "professionals" would use this to adjust their pictures?

Professional photographers tend to use histograms and are satisfied with them, and do not even understand what vectorscope does. Video people prefer vectorscopes.

Adobe should improve Lightroom with professional color gradinging tools (vectorscope, parade and Waveform). Relying on "eyeball it" isn't sufficient for consistent, high-quality results. The viral "black and blue or white and gold dress" debate highlighted how subjective color perception can be—accurate color tools are essential for reliable, professional outcomes. Come on! This has been a asked feature at least since 2014.

Indeed, it's one of the more popular outstanding feature requests.

This is what a vectorscope looks like. The pattern shows how it looks with SMPTE color bars as a source. The dots in the little boxes on the graticule (face markings) represent where those colors should be. We shoot a very accurate color bar chart to set up and match the colors coming from multiple studio cameras.

You'll notice a vector running to a position that is about 10 o'clock opposite the -I vector. We sometimes call this the flesh vector. Regardless of a subject's skin color, it should always line up with this vector. It will, if everything else is set right, but most camera shaders (the person who does the camera matching) will put sombody in front of the cameras, get a close up, and use this vector to make sure the vector matches on all the cameras. A good shader (or editor, for that matter) will never totally trust what they see on a monitor no matter how good and well-calibrated it is. The scopes always rule.

I hope this helps clear things up.

If you RGB histogram that shows three separate RGB histograms for R G and B and also Waveform and Color Parade that makes ton of difference, as for Vecroscope, i am not even sure what it does.

And still, I get monthly e-mails about people replying here that they want it.
Speaking as part of "everyone else" - we do.
