Absolutely amazing tutorial! I consider myself a pretty advanced editor, but this was actually something completely new to me! All this time I've tried to do these kinds of edits in a way that makes it way more complicated than it probably should be. This really helped me a lot. A big thank you to you Mark!

The most easily understandable tutorial I found so far. Now I understand what I'm doing rather than just following the tutorial. Every image needs its own fine-tuned setting and I learned it from you so thank you.

Never have I thought to start in B&W and then add colors after. I feel like this is actually huge to develop your own look. Thank you sir I'm going to give this a try

@philbassmedia6839 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so so much, I’ve been using presets to “try “ and get closer to the moody dark look on certain shots and then tweak from there but now I understand how to be specific for my photos plus making my own style from using no presets. Thanks again.

@johnadams3038 2 жыл бұрын

For the vignette I have found that just decreasing the natural vignette correction of the lens, especially if you shoot with f1.2 or f1,4, gives really nice effect cause after all it is a natural vignette. Also I think Lr, most of the time, really over-compensates for the vignette anyway.
