After watching this video I completely re-edited all 100+ images for my next photo book one of the best video on post processing I have watch ever. I was doing it wrong over sharpening the images. Bravo continue the good work.

@TheJoshNguyen Год назад

Amazing content. I love how you broke down the editing process clearly. Feeling inspired and better equipped for my next photo walk! Thanks, Roman!

@kalistratov_photos Год назад

I have always wondered how you do that soft look! The last time had been the day before you announced this video. This is indeed one of the best videos on your channel: simple, yet incorporating your experience. That is a sure sign of a pro, to explain complicated things easily. Nice start for 2023! Thank you!

@Racsophoto Год назад

This might be, perhaps, one of your best videos/content. I’ve questioned myself often how to soft my photos in a consistent way without a black mist 1/4 filter or other type of filter and there it is. Thank you 🙏

@Lukaz1989 Год назад

Thanks for actually sharing this! I have always loved this look in your photos and have actively looked into how to archive it before. Glad to have the info from the source now!

I recently figured out another way to achieve a softer look, a bit less aggressive and far simpler than Orton effect - I create a Luminance mask in Lightroom and select highlights on the extreme (up to 10% of the scale) with soften edges and then further reduce clarity on this mask. I quite enjoy the results I achieved in a few pictures using this method :) Thanks for sharing Roman!

@JonPlarr Год назад

Great explanation here, well done

@carldaniel3155 Год назад

Great video as always 👍 I use LRc (or ACR) and use Texture tool -20 and Noise Reduction +30... keeping sharpening at 42 gives a great softer, less digital harsh look. Thanks

@jacktan785 Год назад

great tips 👍 tq so much 🎉

@josephschimmer302 Год назад

That was excellent!

@Astriddg Год назад

Oh yeah, I knew this was going to be great content Roman ;) thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with us. I really admire your photography. You’re actually who got me inspired to buy my first camera last year, the X-T4. Since then I follow you on Instagram and always watch your videos. I have learned a lot from you. You’re amazing ❤ keep up the good work.

@MrRafalEn Год назад

Love it. Thanks for sharing and I will definitely try that out although it's a bit too much work for me. Lately I've been shooting with Helios 58mm f2 which gives great soft image out of the box. I love it especially for portraits of my kids.

@Lentziu Год назад

Another great tutorial!

@TheJoshuaPeg Год назад

Thanks for explaining the Orton effect, not come across that before!

@Kevodabomb_Media Год назад

Thanks for the clear and concise video. Never thought to use photoshop to further edit my photos, thanks for that tip!

Glad you like it!

@LilReapsy Год назад

Top tutorial!

@gettoana Год назад

thanks, great tutorial!

@shikaman Год назад

Great tutorial ! Very useful for those moments where you dont have a filter for some specific lenses, but, those filters, they still do a pretty good job, and, that process you explained, is pretty time consuming. Those filters, even if quite expensive sometimes, do save you a good amount of time. Also, the flares have a specific look with the filter on, that is pretty hard to simulate. And actualy, i just saw a reel of a guy braking his lense, but only the filters he had on were broken, so, it seems that filters can actually protect your lense ahah

@christophergibbons8748 Год назад

Hi Roman, any chance for a X-T5 set up video? Used your X-T4 one for over 2 years with great success, the 5 now adds alot of new features that make it little more confusing.

@Brian444 Год назад

Awesome tips

@constantinmunteanu631 Год назад

Nice video and really educative. For Orton effect did you ever use luminar ?

@EJKelly Год назад

The editing as in taking and composing a photo is subjective. Cool video, good editing ideas.

@BobbyGN268 Год назад

Great Video! I know that this is a bit off topic but can you please do a Review of the Sigma 18-50 2.8. You always have a unique and practice take on gear and I think a lot of people will be interested in it (especially as most new bodies now have IBIS).

@odemirbilek Год назад

Amazing Than ks a lot...

@willowmatt6850 Год назад

Hey Roman, like your video and was looking to see where the video on light is that you mention. Is it in the description?

@lomofatboy 8 месяцев назад

Yep. Mist filter is what i need.

@moabmaulervevo Год назад

what are your thoughts on sliding the "dehaze" slider to the left in lightroom to get a softer look?

@paolocardinali3951 Год назад

I thought Michael Bublè was a singer, not a photo expert 😁 Good video, mate!

@t_h_visuals Год назад

Great content. I love the techniques. It’s why I still shoot film. I much prefer the character of old lenses and film. We seem to have become obsessed with ‘clinically sharp’ lenses. Unfortunately I’m my opinion they lack that special quality which old vintage lenses have.

@zip5644 Год назад

facts. i shoot all of my projects on a mamiya rb67. nothing will ever beat the look. adding a promist 1/8 filter works relatively well but still doesnt achieve the best look out of camera

@picklerick7731 Год назад

Great when you can afford it

@AD-zo5vp Год назад

Tbh I was a bit shocked seeing you just overlay a Gaussian blur image 😳 So dead simple it's almost primitive, but of course exactly achieves the desired effect!

@albertoespiritu4957 Год назад

which is better lightroom or capture one? ive heard fuji raws are better in capture one?

@iaincphotography6051 Год назад

Well a bit of Mousehole and what looked like Porthcurno, oh, and Eren + some good info. Have you ever tried a bit of black Stocking over a lens hood (10 Denier) lol. It works really well when stretched over, just tape it up, and good on Portraits too.

@contrast8469 Год назад

Hey I enjoy the content and am getting into photography. Just some feedback (and it could just be me), but there was some weird harshness in the audio recording, could be related to echo in the room or something else Specifically it was at the beginning of the video, not sure what it was. Could just be bad phone speakers.

@oddittydotco Год назад

do you use any filters to protect the lens? do you use an nd filter for video? 📷🎥

@alasadulmakki Год назад

What app do you use for the editing sir

@chvrlierose1053 Год назад

Looks like Lightroom

@alasadulmakki Год назад

Thank you

@AnthonyJGianotti Год назад

Most diffusion filters add an almost Vaseline look which I hate. I pretty much use your exact method in post if I don’t use a filter but 99% of the time I have a glimmerglass 1 glued to my lens regardless of what I’m shooting. I find it’s the only diffusion filter I like as it gives a much more film like halation effect similar to what you’re doing in post.

@zip5644 Год назад

have you used the tiffen 1/8? thats the one i find the best inbetween of the soft look with decent contrast

@AnthonyJGianotti Год назад

@@zip5644 black promist or glimmerglass? For glimmerglass I find a 1 is even less diffusion then a promist 1/8, the glimmerglass 1/8 is almost too weak imo. Regardless I much prefer the look of the diffusion of the glimmerglass as it essentially adds halation and without the same hit to sharpness and contrast applied by a promist.

@zip5644 Год назад

@@AnthonyJGianotti understandable! i just personally fond paying for the glimmerglass to be not worthwhile considering the effect it has is very easy to replicate in post. i have the promist 1/8 and i feel like it replicates the look of medium format lenses the best considering i use an rb67 and a canon 5d mark ii for my commercial/fashion shoots

@AnthonyJGianotti Год назад

@@zip5644 fair enough, especially for fashion photography, I mostly shoot street and landscape. For me there is just something about the glimmerglass that I can’t get enough of and can’t quite replicate in post as the contrast slider flattens the image too much and negative clarity impacts the sharpness too much. It really is worth picking one up to mess around with, I think you’ll be surprised at the results vs the promist. I also shoot apsc now so the extra pixels, better glass and light gathering capability of medium format probably handles the softening effect of the promist and/or post tools better then my current 26mp apsc sized sponsor.

@zip5644 Год назад

@@AnthonyJGianotti yeah the way i achieve halation in post isnt necessarily with sliders but with filters and highlight masking in photoshop. make the image black and white then select the whites and add a gaussian blur on them and adjust the opacity and then you can go in and mask where exactly you want the effect to be applied. i may try the glimmerglass but from what ive seen with it it just doesnt do *enough* to warrant purchasing you know what i mean

@williama-d6 Год назад

I shoot at 800 iso does your Sony camera have the settings 800 iso?

@bonedyone Год назад

no filters aka 80% of the video are post processing.

@lammysdv Год назад

@jatpg Год назад

Roman. Stop giving away the good tips 🤣... I use similar workflow except for one thing. I use global filters at the start to get the raw imagine as best as possible...as if the scene was naturally good. Then I apply a similar workflow...I find doing the above reduces the total local masks I need. Ps. Thank you for your work.
