I am noticing color grading is playing a big look in the end results of images? How do I learn to do this? Color Theory, using lightroom, choosing/removing colors?

Don't tell me to play around with sliders or anything like that. I am interested in the best resources out there to learn how to do this.

Prefarably, I am trying to avoid 10 minute youtube videos and would like a book or multi hour course.

It being paid is fine.

I have the z50, and for the most part my only issue with it is the size. I hate that it's so small.

I am considering an upgrade to full frame. I would love a z8 but I don't think I'd be able to afford it even by next year christmas lol.

I am looking at the z5ii but I am wondering if it make sense to go z6ii instead. I'd probably pair it with a macro, a 50mm and tamron zoom and be happy days.

Mostly interested in doing potraits / macro/ travel. What do you think?

Also whats your best tips for over coming the af issues in low light / low contrast scenes
