In this video, Janine explains her Lightroom editing tips and techniques for editing the eyes of a predator...predominantly big cats. When processing wildlife photography images its important to get the eyes right. Too little and the eyes are dull and not engaging. Too much and looks odd.
If you would like to follow Janine's edit step by step you can download this RAW image from our Google Drive. Click here: bit.ly/predatoreyesedit
If you are new to Adobe Lightroom you can also start Janine's free course which can be found at www.academy.pangolinphoto.com. Here you will also find a link to a 7-day free trial of the software to get you going.

Maybe you've done a video on something like this before, but I want to edit an elephant picture to black and white, but I'm not sure how dark the elephant should be. The picture is straight on to the face with the ears spread out.

Janine- I enjoyed your video. A quick tip. If you hit the backslash key it will take you back to the original state of the image. Another tap and back to the current state.

All is well but we’re still in lockdown. That’s a lovely way to enhance the eyes without making them look radioactive! It does work on male portraits too especially when you accentuate each highlight and shadow around his eyes. Have fun and see you soon 😃

Nice tutorial. I just took some feline portrait shots and was struggling a bit getting the eyes perfect. This video helped a lot finishing 3 shots. If i may give you a small trick in return, from my experience with adjusting eyes on human portraits: When you paint the eye with the brush, first give a small click on the forehead above the eye and then start painting the eye. After painting the eye, remove the part you painted above the eye. This way, the pointer/dot/bal/spot of the brush will be above the eye and not on the eye blocking part of it like you see at 12:17. You can now easily make adjustments while zoomed out and still see al the adjustments instead of part of them being blocked by the dot.

No need to do this. Pressing H toggles the edit pin visibility state. Just by pressing H you can hide it, reveal it, or set the state to auto: this is my usual preference because the pin disappears as you move the cursor off the image to a side panel. If you keep the pin hidden, you will not accidentally click on it and move the adjustment, as happened to Janine in this video. You can see the state of the pin visibility in the check box at bottom left, and click that if you prefer, but to my mind just pressing H to toggle the state is easiest. Works for all the local adjustment tools.

First, allow me to thank you for the timing of release of your videos. Its 9 am my time so perfect to watch in the morning after breakfast. As far as the editing of the photographs, I guess it goes back to my days of film photography but I do very little editing of any photo I take other than cropping for size. I want the person viewing the photo to see what I saw, not what I wish I had seen. To many photographers want to depend on their computer skills instead of their photography skills. When using film you never knew what you had until it was developed. Depending on your location that could be the next day or the next month. With film you had to learn patience and timing, instead of a memory card with room for 10,000 photos you had at most 36 shots before you had to either switch cameras or reload film. Even with my digital cameras I try to limit myself to the number of photos I shoot at one time to make me work harder to get just what I want people to see. While I have seen excellent photos that have been taken on your safaris, I have to wonder, is that really what you seen or is it what you want me to see? I'll continue to follow your channel and enjoy the information you give in most of them, the editing process is for in my opinion computer savvy people not photographers.

Hi Guy, so glad you are enjoying our videos. Everyone has a different editing ethos and I think that is great. It is part of our own creative process and style which we should stick to. I do agree that I would like people to see in the picture what I have experienced in the field, however, we do need to keep in mind that our eyes and brain are a work of magic. Due to the fact that we have two eyes we can focus both, on the brights and on the shady parts in a picture and see both of them. Our dynamic range is out of this world. And what our eyes cannot make up for our brain will substitute. Because we know how things are supposedly looking our brain fills in all the details we might not be able to see. Therefore, we always have a fantastic image in mind while the matching photograph might be somewhat boring in comparison. I do have a lightroom course for beginners on our homepage... if you would ever be interested in having a sneak peak. But I think it is great that you like to get your images as perfect as possible in camera! Great work flow! - cheers Janine

Well Janine, you were both so mean and so nice with this subject :-) So mean, because I was so proud the last months to have found "by myself" that enhancing eyes could bring such an added value to a picture ... and you showed me I did totally wrong (too saturated, too bright). But so nice, because I could learn how to fix my mistakes ! (will immediately give the "eyeliner" technique a go !) BTW, if you use CaptureOne, it is about the same tool, only it is done in a separate layer (like in Photoshop). Keep them coming !! (the good subjects)(please) :-)

Hi Claude, thanks so much for your feedback. Yes, I am familiar with CaptureOne but haven't used it as much so I personally feel more comfortable in lightroom (also for the organisational structure - check out my free lightroom course if you want to learn more about that)... Also a big thumbs up for playing with your pictures. When one first discovers a feature it is quite normal to maybe over do it before you find a balance.... enjoy playing with it and let your creativity run wild. cheers Janine

hi what is the best camera for wildlife ( Nikon z6 - Nikon D750 _Canon Eos R - Canon 6D ii _ Sony a7R iii ) please help me I can't choose or what cam under 1800 $ ??
@PangolinWildlife
@PangolinWildlife 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Bode, that is a very tough choice. Do you already have some gear and lenses ? Then I would probably stick to that brand in order to save costs. For Canon I would choose the 6Dii over the EoS R. I was also not a huge fan of the Sony a7Riii due to viewfinder lag, ergonomics and a few other factors. The Nikon D750 is also a very solid choice and I have very little personal experience with the Nikon z6 even though I feel that the older mirrorless cameras still had a lot more kinks that needed working on which is why I would probably go for a DSLR. I hope my advise helped - all the best Janine
