How I EDIT my PHOTOS in Lightroom. The basics...

4 жыл бұрын#LearnPhotography #Lightroom #Adobe
This is how I edit photos in Lightroom, and in Photoshop... from my trip to the Dolomites... I talk about my presets, layer masks, gradients, brush adjustments and a few other bits. But mostly this is about why I edit photos a certain way, rather than the how.
Also a huge thank you to Lumix for sponsoring this video. I've been using the G9, G85 and the G90 for a long time now and the stabilisation in them is immense. Find out more here: www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer....

Thank you :)

Congrats to both of you! Definitely would love to see more of these videos - I know how to edit, but I'm very much interested in why you made the editing decisions you have. Also, it would be helpful for you to explain a little of what the preset used is tweaking for those of us who use a different editing software and therefore can't try your preset.

Even though I'm seeing "this" video for the first time in 2022, I felt a sense of joy when you mentioned you were getting married to Emily in two days! I hope this is not too confusing in my timing. I"m a big fan of yours. Thanks for being there!

I did find this interesting. It is very interesting that you seem to like to downplay the sky, it will take a little bit to process, I’ve always tended to shoot and post my skies to pop more. I really like that you explain why here, I honestly never thought about this.
