Videos helping the imaging community improve their skills with cameras and workflows.
My name is Damian and I am a photographer and videographer based in Australia. I have been fortunate to travel and work on all 7 continents with camera in hand. This channel will host videos looking at my approach for shooting, editing, workflow and output when working with a single image or large number of files or footage captured with cameras.
It is lacking a comparison of the two images. Think of it next time for your videos, viewers are not expecting an how to video but also your own opinion.
It is a very long time we use DNG. It would have been more interesting if you addressed also the lossy dng format and made some assessment of its quality. Thank you anyway, it is a good way to remember people about DNG advantages.
Thanks for your comment....I'll look into your point around 'lossy dng'. After years of working with DNG's, I'm yet to experience any compromise with quality when compared to raw files.
@@betterpics1770 I am pretty in the same situation. It is almost 10years I am using DNG. Now I am interested in lossy DNG but I am missing expérience. The opinion of other users is then important. Thanks for you Quick answer.
Thanks for your comment. This video is a demonstration of the process and how to access it in Lightroom. Results will be different for each image, shoot settings, camera and lens combination, so best option is to test with your own images and compare results on the best way to increase resolution of your images, of which there are a few options.
I remember having to figure this out long ago, and it was a pain to find. Videos like this are always a valuable resource for any/all users. Thank you!
Not within Lightroom unfortunately. That is when you would need to step into photoshop to bring in one or multiple source images and use a method of warping and moving them to align correctly with the adjacent image/s.
It will definitely perform better and worse depending on the images, which is nothing new in the ai space…… relatively speaking though, we are still in the early stages of development for these tools, no doubt, they will get better…
You probably need dedicated gpu fro ai. I got 3060 rtx and it speed up process up to 10-30 seconds. Still i want to test it on Nikon d600 at night with 12-25k iso. Its more noisy camera.
Yes there is!!… exactly the same as bulk selecting multiple images in ACR for any normal adjustment….select the images you wish to denoise and go through the same process. It will process all the images you have selected and create the new files as per the process demonstrated in the video… I am using Camera Raw version 16.2.1.1767….keep in mind, it will be a long process. If it is a lot of images, probably something I would do overnight or while I am busy doing something else….
Hi Thank you for the video but I'm looking for bulk changing of aspect ratio of the photos in Crop menu from 16:9 to Original size (where the photo gets larger), not changing resolution. How can I do that?
Well, it didn't help me. I mean, it worked fine on Lightroom Classic, but I'm used to Lightroom (regular, not classic), and when I open the same image on Lightroom (that was resized on Classic) I see that it didn't change. It changed on Classic though. I would do them manually but there are more than 700 photos.
@@paulthien97 Unfortunately not...you need to start with the raw file straight out of camera. You can see at the beginning of the video when I am still in Adobe Bridge that it is a .CR3 file which is the Raw file from Canon for this particular camera. Editing with a Raw file will give you a lot more flexibility...
The video should be 'what is a work area bar used for in Premier Pro and how to view and hide' too much talking, came here to find out how to 'get the work area back' not learn what it is... Wasted a minute and half of my life that I'll never get back, thumbs down for that.
Which Camera do you recomend for shotting photos of when im downhilling or making videos when im riding my bike . The budged is between 300 and 600 euros. Thanks
If using it while riding your bike, there are a bunch of action cams that would be best suited for this. Small, easy to use and indestructible, mostly, are winning features for what you are wanting to shoot.....
@@betterpics1770 No I'm not searching for an action cam I'm searching for an Camara that I can mount somewhere for example on a stand in a courve so I've got different perspectives. I already have an action camera.
@@Elue-mtb Lots of options. Maybe look at something 2nd hand as you will get better value for money for the budget you are working with. For something compact maybe something in the fuji line, like an XT2 or something from Sony, they tend to do well in low light....
This is a really helpful video and thanks a lot. 👍🏼 I tried super-resolution in Photoshop last year and very impressed but I prefer to work with Lightroom and this is very exciting news!
Thank you so much for this as i have struggled with the new crop tool since upgraded a couple of years ago. One problem i found with your video is that the control you seem to have is very subtle and even, my control is jerky , clunky and not very concise, leading me to still want to go back into Photoshop and use the crop tool which I'm finding one hell of a lot easier to use due to it being so much more responsive. Any suggestions; 64 yr old aspurgurs suffer from derby UK would love to know!!
Hi Ian....thanks so much for your comment...and apologies for such a late reply. I have had a hectic workload and been a little disconnected with RU-vid of late...so thank you for your patience...:) I often find the same for cropping in ACR and am yet to figure out why.... I think that if you are finding the crop tool in Photoshop is working for you, then that may be the best way to go, especially as it is so easy to open any images you are working on straight into photoshop.....I am a big believer there is no ONE best way to do things with image editing....If you find a workflow/process that works best for you then go for it...hope that helps....:)
I appreciate your presentation. tyvm!! I have subbd' and look fwd to more. The gift of your vocal delivery DEF DOES NOT NEED any distracting background music ( even tho music is low volume, I STILL find it detracts)
Thanks Adam, I'm originally from Brisbane so we are practically neighbours..;) Yes I was in 2 minds about the tilting...left it for another tutorial..:)
Hi Cassandra...I'm not sure why it would be doing this for you. Few options/actions to consider. (1) Restart Bridge/your computer (2) Check for updates with Bridge (3) Space on your hard drive
I don't realise Adobe Bridge is such a fantastic tool until I watched your series. And most importantly it's free too. Your introduction is excellent. I wonder why not many viewers.
Thanks so much for your comment...It is such a great tool...I have only recently been putting more content onto this channel and takes time to build an audience...appreciate the support...:)
i don't think an option to toggle the effect of the active mask off and on exists. I have asked around on YT among serious photographers. Nobody knows about a short-key for this purpose. As you mention none of the other before-after keys are useful for this specific purpose. I have posted a question about this in the Adobe Family forum, and nobody has come up with the right answer. The feature apparently disappeared with the latest upgrade. A work-around is to right-click the button of the active mask and select "Reset Local Correction Settings", which will reset all sliders to "before" - and then return to "after" with Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z. But it's a laborious way (and a pain in a lower body part). Please let me know, if you get anything from Adobe. PS: The brain dead muzak in the background is disturbing in my opinion and distracts me from the intelligent content of an otherwise informational video.
Thanks for your comment Eigil... I am yet to find a solution on this as well. It certainly was a good feature to be able to turn local adjustments on and off so hopefully with a Pugh encouragement, Adobe will put it back in. Thanks also for the feedback on the music..:)
@@betterpics1770 Thank you, nice not to be alone. I have forwarded the problem/idea to the Adobe community: feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/a-way-to-toggle-off-and-on-the-effect-of-the-active-mask-only-in-acr-12-3?rfm=1&topic_submit=true That's the closest I can get to alert Adobe.
@@Eigil_Skovgaard Yes a number of functions that use to be very handy seem to be disappearing...many of which I have also forwarded on...hopefully a good outcome...
Hi from Cyprus . Am a wedding photographer and i use camera raw from 2007. Work good the new update but the biggest problems is when you open a lot photos you cant make custom size like before and you cant move to the next photo with arrows keys so i need x10 times to finish my projects. Anyone know something how i can fix ?
Hi Constantinos...Cheers for your question.....the arrows are still working for me to go from image to image....If your thumbnails are at the bottom of the screen (horizontal), you need to use left and right, and if the thumbnails are on the left side of the screen (vertical) you can use up and down, same as previous versions....Keeping in mind if you have made an adjustment, you need to click back on a thumbnail for the arrow options to work....In terms of a custom size for bulk images...you can do a custom ratio for bulk images through the crop tool... and a custom dimension/size when saving the images through the save dialogue box....It is in the 2nd box from the bottom called image sizing...when saving out multiple images at once, this will apply the settings you enter to all images being saved....hope this helps.....
@@betterpics1770 Thanks for the answer! To move to the next image with arrows you must go back to the edit panel if am correct and you lost a lot of time back and front. If you want make a video to explain about crop tool because i see a lot people they complain
Hi Constantinos....It is working for me even within the selective adjustment tools....within the edit panel, I need to click on the image again to be able to use arrows, but with selective adjustments, the arrows are working for me to move to the next image.....:)
Hi there, it seems that after the update the zoom in/out function using the alt+mouse wheel is no longer working while using the spot removal or the adjustment brush tool. It was really useful. Am I missing something?
Hi Arthur... that’s what I have found as well..... on either of those tools pressing alt and wheel on the mouse is not zooming in and out for me either.... cntrl and click is giving me a zoom in, default to 100%, but not specific control depending on the amount of use of the mouse wheel..... not a perfect solution, but something....
Can you help me. My PC has updated the Raw Camera to version 12.3 and I am not able to see the changes made only in the localized adjustments, for example only in the radial filter, or only in the brush separately as before. I'm only able to see the before and after of the basic adjustments and the others below where I click on the eye and the before and after with all the adjustments together by clicking on the icon that looks like a little window. How do I see this in this version? Help me please. Thanks.
Hi Sandra, I just did a test on mine and it seems to be working fine so not sure what the issue is...Occasionally there can be bugs in downloads so may be work shutting down your computer and restarting to see if that fixes it....just to confirm, you are clicking on one of the tools for localized adjustments, (for example, adjustment brush), changing, for example, the exposure then clicking and dragging to use the adjustment brush and nothing is happening? OR are you looking for a way to turning on and off specific localized adjustments one at a time?
Thanks for clarifying..:) I am looking into it at the moment and will let you know when I find a solution. Thank you for your original question as I had not noticed that feature was no longer there...:)
Hi Sandra.... I have just been on chat with Adobe and it looks like this is a feature that is no longer available. They are keeping my enquiry open and will contact me in the future to confirm (not sure how long that will be)...Once I have a definite answer, I will let you know...Cheers..:)
I would be keen to see a full workflow video from removing the sd from the camera, to uploading, camera RAW, Lightroom then export. I learnt a lot from your workshop in Townsville but a refresher would always be good
No problem at all... I've actually had the intention of doing that for both stills and video as there are some very specific considerations for both when it comes to file management as well as workflow....Watch this space..:)
