Thanks Michael for this reminder, i would like more lightroom tutorials from time to time.

Great session. Thank you for sharing those tips, Michael!

Solid video! Love the run through, learned some cool new tricks! I should step back from photoshop some and give Lightroom more time!

I like using Snapshot as well, with different or continuing edits ☺

Hey thank you. Impressed with the work Tip number 5: Back Slash key: I had never heard or used that key and I had to look it up. Tip number 3: Type J; Nothing happened. I think we could use more of those Lightroom videos including on the Saturation tools using your different images to illustrate. Keep it up!

@MichaelShainblum 5 ай бұрын

Hey thanks so much! Perhaps if you push the J key and nothing happens your image does not have any over exposed areas or underexposed areas. Try it on an image with some blown out highlights :)

I often expect to not learn anything from these as I've used Lightroom and PS for a long time, but it pays to watch as you taught me a couple new tips. THANK YOU, Michael.

"Point color" in the "color mixer" tab has become one of my new favorite tools; it's a great and effective alternative for HSL sliders.

Great roundup of useful tips, thank you. I find doing clone/heal tool last very helpful as after using it editing drastically slows for that photo. I recently 'lost' the metadata/attribute toolbar and after much searching found the backslash key ( in library mode) also makes this appear/disappear. From cityscapes,waves and swamps your creativity is inspiring.

Michael, thanks for the video. I've worked with LR since its first beta, but actually learned a couple of things I didn't know. I saw in the comments that this video hasn't done as well for you as some of your other videos, but please know that many of us found this helpful. You do great work and are a terrific teacher.

Great series of tips for Lightroom! I find myself doing more and more of my editing in LR as they continue to improve masking and allow even more refinements to the tool.

@MichaelShainblum 5 ай бұрын

Thanks! Agreed it’s nice to see them constantly improving Lightroom, which I can’t necessarily say for some of their other software. Now if only they could revert the Luminosity Range mask to what it was 5 years ago haha.

Well from the last updated tools I find myself using the color picker tool often (HSL panel), and it is great that they have put it also in the masking option. Great videos Michael, for your next trip I suggest Montenegro, Europe and I can show you great places for landscape photography. Al the best and continue with the great work!!!

Hi Michael. Nice video, thanks ... One thing I recently discovered is that if you hit command and fwd slash (this is on a Mac) you get a list of keyboard shortcuts ...these are contextual for whichever mode (Library, Develop etc) you are in ....

Great video thanks Michael. Question - do you mainly just use LR for everything and don’t use photoshop at all?

@AgillexUK 5 ай бұрын

Thanks Michael. It's fascinating to see the plethora of processing options and difficult to keep track of the options (known and unknown). Shortcuts are really helpful too. Maybe a new one for you is to hold the Option key on a Mac to intersect masks rather than using the pull-down menu.

@katemaxwell6061 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for some great tips. I’m new to Lightroom although have used ACR for years. One question: do you have any tips for matching white balance of a series of images post edit? I find sometimes they look great individually but as a series there is too much variation.

@adriangidney7134 5 ай бұрын

My top tip, using radial mask (inverted) for vignettes, draw a radial mask, use crtl + double click on the mask button will snap the edge of the mask to whatever size your image is cropped or otherwise.

@MichaelShainblum 5 ай бұрын

I appreciate that you enjoy the vlogs! I try my best to release mainly in field vlogs as they are what I truly enjoy making. but you need to understand they are sooo time consuming to make, sometimes it takes me two weeks just to get them to look right. I also get asked weekly to make some post processing courses so I thought it would be nice to share a new one. But if people are not into the post processing stuff anymore I am happy to stop doing them. I have been making them on the channel since 2013 before ever starting the vlogs or the Timelapse’s.

@huubdegroot 5 ай бұрын

@@MichaelShainblum Even when you make a vlog once a month! You're vlogs in the field are awesome Michael!! That storm-vlog and the swamp event last month is soooo amazing. In my situation I learned to deal with Darktable and is awesome freeware, but I think I'm sick of Lightroom vids... I know the costs in money and time for field-vogs is high, but that's (my opinion) the special part of your channel ... Really enjoying your 'field' videos because they are special to you and made by your feeling & knowledge

@@huubdegroot in all fairness this video is tanking super hard, so you are probably right. Either way I appreciate your viewership and I will continue the in field stuff. Just trying to find a bit of a balance commercial work and KZfaq wise.
