Thanks for the tutorial. In Lightroom, you can also use the masking tool with a coloured brush. This gives more control over the process, than only the colour wheels which affect the whole image at once.

Give it a try and let me know how you made out. I added a bunch of examples so that these two steps did indeed work well on most images. But the "proof is in the pudding" as they say so I'm curious how viewers will make out trying this themselves 😊

@@MattShannonPhoto I have tried this 20 times and i keep ending up making a mess lol

@MattShannonPhoto Ай бұрын

@@devo5566 Oh no, perhaps I made it look too easy in the video when really it takes a lot of time and practice. Make sure your brush's opacity and flow isn't set to 100% or else your going to add too much Dodge and Soft Light to the image all at once. You can change the flow and opacity at the top of the PS page when you have the paint brush selected. Hope that helps 🙂

Great video, thank you. I do basically the same thing color dodging and burning with a luminosity mask but I like this method. I use ACR so used your color grading method in ACR and then tried it on a second image when I took the image into PS to finish. Very similar results using both methods but do like PS better. Quicker than using luminosity masks.

@DelvesPhotos 24 күн бұрын

Great video. I'll be trying this in photoshop. Would you not use the mask features in lightroom to paint the effects in a similar way that you did in photoshop instead of just using the grading section?

@claudiogavinho Ай бұрын

Great video as always, Matt. I usually do the global adjustments in LR (or Camera Raw) and the specific adjustments in PS. It's the way I work faster. In LR, to enhance color, I first use the blue channel in the Calibration panel. I noticed something that might be important, especially for those who are not used to editing with masks: controlling the opacity, flow, and smoothing of the brush.

@MattShannonPhoto Ай бұрын

Thank you! My work flow is basically the same as yours, global adjustments in LR and then throw it into PS for the detail work. I've used Capture One and I liked it, but most of my work is done in Adobe software including Premier Pro for video, Bridge for organization, After Affects when needed and a few more. So... LR will have to do considering the all-in-one package I pay for. I do like how adobe works well with other adobe software, Bridge to LR to PS and back to LR, and their printing adjustments are easy to use when printing at home both in LR and PS. I'm sure Capture One is good too but I never got to that state when I used it.

@claudiogavinho Ай бұрын

@@MattShannonPhoto I completely understand and agree that the workflow in LR is much more fluid. However, not all adjustments are available when using masks, which is a little bothersome.

Do you vary/change the aspect ratio of each image based on final product? Or, do you just shoot at the default Z9 aspect ratio and crop later for final product?
