Hey everyone!! Wanted to make a video that we could easily teach you lightroom and get you going, or refer to from time to time as a quick refresher! Love you guys a ton and i honestly hope this helps anyone & everyone out there looking to get better at editing photos! I cant wait to see what you guys can do after this! Feel free to leave any future videos you want to see in the comments, and ill add em to the list!! Have a great sunday!!! - Sawyer

Please keep making this a thing. I'm in desperate need of someone explaining things to me like I'm five, mostly because I don't have the confidence yet to try to do this on my own. This helps and I'm actually kind of happy with the results.

I have ADD tendencies so concentration for me is pretty difficult, but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos. They're simple, clear and concise, the inflections in your tone, hand gestures, and pace of speech, along with your genuine enthusiasm to teach really keeps my attention and makes the tutorial easier to digest and retain. Thank you so much for your work!

Literallly paused half way just to type this. This was by far the best tutorial I have seen so far, the way you speak is so precise and clear. Your videos are so helpful, thank you for this free tutorial!

OMG I neverrrrr use Calibration. This is a game changer. Sawyer THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for this tutorial. It reduces my editing time significantly. Always had issue with color correcting. Now thanks to these tutorials (basics 1 & 2) I know a much better and proper way. Thank you!

I want to thank you for making all these videos. You are one of the only photographers I can handle watching. No shade on other photographers making tutorials but you make it easy to understand.

I like your style. I used to use Lightroom years ago. Now I am getting back to editing. Thanks again, I'll keep watching.

I just love the way you are hitting straight to the keys/hints. the tutorial is awesome, thank you.

This video was worth the watch for the tone curve advice alone. Thanks so much! I love that you explained everything without going on and on and on like some folks tend to do on here. new sub.

Been too long! need a part 3 to this series ;)

thanks for this bro am seeing improvement on my photos

Sawyer..great ideas. But I keep returning to shooting as a weekend or three days photographer at the White House for 20 yrs. Shot film and still photos. My love was stills. Bought an old Leica.. since the press office would shout Lights..shut down everything. If they caught you shooting even one shot..took your press ID.. the White House ID was gold to us. Flew on Air Force one with it.. pentagon used it as the gold ticket etc. I tagged along with the Time Magazine shooter. No BS.. clean the lens..use the inside of your Tie..! Taught me quick lessons to save my butt. In film school I actually learned the basics daily. Shot for National Geograohic.. learn to color..do what you do..but faster! Worked. Enjoy your life ..I had two heart attacks few months ago..so I had to chill out fully. Jim Waters

Sawyer you are The Man!! You make it easy to follow . Thank you SO much!!!! ❤️😀. You are my def favorite for editing vids !!!

Thank you so much, I loved it and because of these tutorials I have more interest in LrC. Bless you!

Thank you for all the hard work and videos

Wow, another wonderful edit; thank you!

New to Lightroom. Just went through all my graduation pictures I took 15 years ago with my first digital camera and saved so many of them + it was great practise, thanks so much.

Learned so much from you!! Thank you!!! 👌🏾👌🏾📸

Bro what? I VERY recently finished the 1st tutorial video and now this one pops up? I'm confused and grateful at the same time lol Anyways thanks for the video bro! This helps us a lot!

Your videos have been amazing and so inspiring, you make me feel like I can do this! Thank you!

What you did with the greens blues and aquas is a technique I figured out myself as well. I Found it REALLY cleaned up images. Especially indoors where lighting can be... wild at times.

to me it was the vignetting that brought the image it's form. i just discovered your 1st and 2nd video and like it very much. keep'em coming :-)

I actually used the tutorial from the first basic video and my photo looked amazing. Your style of teaching is perfect for my learning. Thank you so much from a beginner working towards becoming a professional.

Never knew that about skin tones. It works. Some people are quite pastey and I could never find a way to get heir skin looking 'normal' Thank you

you helped me edit every single one of my friends photos, huge thanks bro !

Let me tell you: I'm shocked - obviously in a good way! I understand it more and more!!

I've been interested in photography for almost 10 years now and I've never known where to start in terms of taking it seriously, so thank you for this (:

Thankyou for this. You took your time to explain it. This is One of the best LR tutorials I’ve seen in a while. I’m subscribing!

Would love to see upgrade with point color (new in Lr) and with a landscape. Great tutorial!!

It was a grate tutorial, and it helps to direct me on what to do with Lightroom. Thanks :)!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

FANTASTIC!

This was so great! Ive always been into photography and been using Lightroom for a while now but only used the basics, I could never work out how to use the rest to make it look good haha. I definitely learn by doing so it helped so much to have the photo to edit along with you. :) thanks Sawyer! Looking forward to the next one 😁

Just found you the other day. Love what I am learning so far!!!!!

TNice tutorials was excellent man, thank you so much! I'm a 40yr old noob that's always wanted to try making soft and never got around to it. I'm

Thank you so much for teaching me basic is for correction, and tone curve is where I add contrast. I can't believe the improvement in my images!

I like the technique of teaching

These have gotten me out of my rut and depression about my edits 😂😂 thank you!! Please don’t stop!

Thanks for sharing your editing technique.

Sawyer, LR has always been my enemy sort of. Your video makes things so clear, thanks so much.

Thanks dear you are really a great LR Master 🥰

Loving the first tutorial. Can’t anyone advise if this a follow on from that ? Really helped me out producing my first edited photo. Handy video indeed

Thank you. Some very practical and beneficial tips here I will now include in my edit process. I call these : easy to apply once someone shows you the how and why !

I absolutely love the video. Sawyer Hartman is different class, thank you.

LOVE YOUR TEACHING STYLE...it's easy to understand and follow along; KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! ONE SUGGESTION: Add a little MOOD MUSIC music to your video! LOL :)

Thank you very much, it will help me improve myself 👏

killing this Sawyer!

Well, you're a genius haha. Thank you so much for this! I also very much enjoyed the first one!

This is so invaluable, and I'm so excited its a series! Thank you so much.

love these videos! Could you include removing objects from the picture in your next tutorial please?

1:59 before you said it I already thought of C.C.F😂

Thanks for your easy to follow explanations, one step at a ti. It makes learning less overwhelming!

wow this is a simple way I like it

Hey Sawyer awesome vids man, really learnt a lot from your Lightroom Basics vids! Noticed all your Camera Calibration/Skin Tone tutorials are for light skin. Do the same principles apply when the subject has a dark skin tone?

Thanks a lot, I love your covers💯The photos you give us for editing are priceless!

Amazing skills!

Awesome tutorial! It’s great to see new editing techniques, and for someone who jumps into LR pretty infrequently, these little educational reminders go a long way 😄

Thank You, your the best

Great stuff....thank you.

Thank you so much ☺️

I was literally following your first video of "LR Tutorial Basics 1" for past year , and now boom your second video is out. I learnt some new rule elements of editing from this video too. Keep it up for more photography and editing tips. Peace ✌🏼

Waiting fot your colour grading lesson. 😍 You've mention it will be in another video. And thanks for the first two Lightroom videos, using your advises. They are great.

You're a 🐐 GOAT

It’s funny man I stumbled upon the luminance trick that you showed under the HGL a little bit ago and I use it a lot! ;) thanks for sharing I always look forward to you video man!

Can you do a tutorial on editing dark-skinned photos? Would be glad to see that. Not a lot of people have videos on that 😊

Супер!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much! Your content is excellent! Keep doing episodes like this!!!

This is awesome!

haha the style change incredible

Yea I'm switching from Affinity just for the masking tool

Thank you so much for this. Excited to try these techniques!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR! I'VE LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU! HOPING for the progress of my editing skills as a freelance Graphics Designer and Photographer

Do you not need to do some masking when you edit those greens and blues in the towels as it can affect the green on the robe? Thanks for answering 🙂

You are an amazing teacher! Great video.

What’s up sawyer! I loved your first video on this! How’s life? Is it starting to get cooler in Hawaii? It is here in East Texas :)

I generally edit ARW files in lightroom . Many youtuber talks about boosting contrast in the shadow. What does they mean? How to boost contrast in the shadow? Which slider they talk about?

Great information. Love your tutorials. Did you know ROY G BIV actually means red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet for the order of colors in the rainbow as opposed to red green blue? 😉

Any landscape editing photos?? Love your videos…

This has been so helpful!!! I can’t wait to try this on my own photo and looking forward to part 3

great vid. liked and subbed. cheers!

Towels? Why not simply select the area and brighten and desaturate it? The tone curve also seems like a bit of a waste of time for what you're trying to do. Good thing you didn't use colour grading for this shot, also

This was an awesome tutorial! Really great to be able to follow along with the same photo. GAME CHANGER! 🔥

This was so dope! It was super helpful to be able to follow along and edit the same photo.

Each time you mention CCF I can’t help but think of Congestive Cardiac failure 😅

Is it possible for you to do an updated video of your Lightroom basics video? I’m new to Lightroom and it seems that since you made that video the layout of Lightroom has slightly changed and I’m a bit confused 😭😭

thank you

This is so helpful! Thank you for showing a detailed walk through of how you edit your photos! Big fan!

TY

Thank u for sharing ...

Learned a lot from this. Really well done. Thanks!

This was extremely helpful, I learned so much. Thank you!!

Thank you for this!

This was so helpful! Thank you!!

Great video!! Thanks for sharing 🤘🏻

Thank you for the tutorial! I've been trying to expand my photography business, but I can't get any clients, any tips?

Finally somebody who actually knows what there doing and is probably adobe certified 😭😭😭😭

Great video! Learned alot. Do you do black and white editing? Can you do tutorial on it?

Great tutorial! Thank you
