Hey yall, I really hope you enjoy this new workflow video. I will have a NEW Storm Chasing video out this Sunday! :)

@LapseLifeProductions 3 года назад

What a beautiful shot Michael! Really great tip with using smart object from Lightroom to avoid working destructively.

@rocketmanab 3 года назад

Great video! I've been wanting to learn more about how to use smart objects, and you and Nick both deliver the goods...awesome.

@normjames4451 3 года назад

Wonderful! Thank you. Glad you answered the question that I had in my mind about the final cleanup ( sharpening, spot removal, etc)….

@alanatwood7995 3 года назад

These are exactly the kinds of tutorials I need. I am a bit new to photo editing and any little morsel I can glean from these is golden! Thank you thank you!!

@Stillfilm1 3 года назад

Thanks so much for that brilliant processing video. I have never quite understood when or why to use smart objects and you've explained it all so simply.

@sujayraj8163 3 года назад

Never knew this was possible, even though I've used smart objects so many times. Makes it ever so convenient to re-edit an image, especially when you take a break from editing and realize you've gone too far. Great vid as always. Thank you! :)

@sarkarpappu 3 года назад

Thank you Michael, it was really helpful, especially my problem with color banding.

@pattymattes7124 3 года назад

Thank you for this tutorial. I've dabbled with smart objects but struggle with deciding whether to do it all in LR and then other stuff in PS or do smart objects in PS. I think this helps me with my decision making.

@MichaelShainblum 3 года назад

Thank Patty! I would do a bit of both! :)

I've been struggling with this workflow for a while. I was doing things in wrong order, therefore I wasn't getting the desired results. Thanks for sharing, Michael.

Awesome. More like this please.

@MichaelShainblum 3 года назад

@Gazzab6 3 года назад

That was a brilliant video. I've got into the habit of working on a TIFF file but will now use this method. How do you collapse the Layers? Do you Flatten Layers, Merge Layers or something else?

@philliptaylor5994 3 года назад

@1young-geezer 2 года назад

Fantastic Michael. I work Ps and ACR exclusively w/ heavy start up in ACR, I mean I may do almost ALL my work there in ACR right off the bat. I LOVE this way you work it, and a HUGE thanks for this tip tutorial. I do find that I can really bog down ACR w/ masking so much, and I think you've just cut it's workload by a large percentage. I'll definitely see how it goes using your suggestions. Also, your LIGHTROOM MASTERCLASS, would seem to not apply for me, do you offer a Ps/ACR MC or what? Thanks a bunch - I try to catch as many of your videos as possible and just love your images and the processing.

@AndreaJump 2 года назад

Hi Michael. Thank you so much for this video. It was so helpful. I have just one question: and when you want to come back in lightroom? I mean: at the end of your entire workflow, to come back in lightroom without loosing quality, what's your choice in term of file format? Thanks again

@alexanderjones6781 2 года назад

Hi Michael, thanks for this video, it's super helpful. One question I have is if there is a difference between using the "Open as Smart Object in PS" option in Lightroom vs. having a TIFF layer already in Photoshop and using the "Convert to Smart Object" option? Thanks!

@p4inmaker 3 года назад

And here I was importing separate raw copies into PS, didn't know you could do it this way, big timesaver. Good stuff!

@MichaelShainblum 3 года назад

Thanks so much!

@p4inmaker 3 года назад

@@MichaelShainblum I think I should be thanking you, ha.

@mrsusan893 3 года назад

Michael this is awesome. With the dodge layer, after you make the adjustment in raw and bring it back to Photoshop, how would you make a lights luminosity selection for a more controlled dodge?

@MichaelShainblum 3 года назад

You can put it into a folder and then add a mask to that folder, with a luminosity mask :)

@odarrien 3 года назад

Thank you very much for this. A few questions: 1. Does opening in PS as a smart object bring over all of the Lightroom edits that were already done? 2. What format does the file come over as into PS? I gather that its actually the RAW file and not a TIFF? So if I save this in PS, would I be saving as a PS file, TIFF or what?

@chandeshshah1240 3 года назад

Hey Michael, this video was awesome. Can you kindly do a video on editing and exporting files for social media and websites. Thanks 😊

@MichaelShainblum 3 года назад

Thanks, sure! :)

@terez2001 3 года назад

Hi Michael, great video, thank you. Quick workflow question on this, how are you saving the files? The smart objects are of course larger than tiff? Can you compress the file and keep the edits?

@AndreaJump 2 года назад

Good question! I have the same doubt. I hope you can answear to that, Michael

@gatsby498 3 года назад

Great video, as always, Michael. Quick question: What about increased file size when using smart objects? Do you do anything when saving the file to deal with that? Thanks!

@randygemar 3 года назад

Great follow up question…

@campmark50 3 года назад

More RAM.

@1young-geezer 2 года назад

If I'm not speaking out of turn or just plain wrong, the only significant increase in file size here is his creating that merged layer. I believe the smart object layers are inconsequential. Sorry if I'm wrong, but try it out and see for yourself if the file size increases much as you add smart layers.

@jorgeroa6685 Год назад

Hello, do you apply the denoise feature to your photos?

@kappios78 2 года назад

hi Michael, may I ask why you don't use lightroom for all the editing? seems like kind of an unnecessary step?

@artdawggy 6 месяцев назад

Great advice. I hadn't considered that work flow before. Here's hoping you get enough monetisation to get yourself a new chair. ; )

“You can transfer it to Photoshop and sacrifice the quality…well, I’ve already sacrificed the quality.” 🤣🤣🤣 hilarious. Another great video man!

@gerarddonovan8678 3 года назад

So Michael when you are finally done do you flatten layers and save as a jpeg ?

@MichaelShainblum 3 года назад

I will save this file if I might want to process it later. But for online I will flatten and save as a jpeg, yes.

@gerarddonovan8678 3 года назад

@@MichaelShainblum thanks for replying Michael 🙂

@stevenrobinsonpictures 3 года назад

I use smart objects a lot but it all goes to pot when I use a merged layer which I like to do often, then I cannot go back (as far as I am aware) easily.

@MichaelShainblum 3 года назад

That's the tough part, you really have to do the merged layer editing towards the end of the process, like for cloning and sharpening.

@stevenrobinsonpictures 3 года назад

@@MichaelShainblum good point i must be more strict and do it at the end. I do love dodging on a merged layer. I dont like the effect of dodging based on highlights or shadow lum masks. The tools in PS feel more vibrant and real for me

@MichaelShainblum 3 года назад

@@stevenrobinsonpictures Ah I see! Try out the technique shown here in the video of doing a dodge or burn using an altered Smart Object, it gives quite a bit of control over colors/tone :)

@stevenrobinsonpictures 3 года назад

@@MichaelShainblum will do thanks for that

@just_eirik 3 года назад

So when you “open as smart object” it includes the raw file? Because the Camera Raw window/“editor” can be opened even with tif files (ctrl + shift + a I think), but I assume that that tif file does not have all the dynamic range and so on, right? It’s rasterized.

@MichaelShainblum 3 года назад

Indeed! The Tiff files can be shifted too far without banding in a lot of cases.

@JakeBylsma 3 года назад

Smart objects are GREAT, but how do you deal with Photoshop's inability to auto-align them? I shoot a lot of focus stacks, and my first step is auto aligning the files for blending which means I can't use smart objects. Any thoughts?

@randygemar 3 года назад

Good question 🙋‍♀️

@MichaelShainblum 3 года назад

Thats a tough one, honestly for focus stacked images I just use the tiffs. Although you can you a smart object for the background layer to still retain the best possible quality from the sky and clouds of a scene.

@stigmata77 2 года назад

why not just use masked adj layers instead of duplicating everytime increasing file size?

@Ed-Pavlov 3 года назад

Why is it any better than gradient and brush masking in the Lightroom? Since no Photoshop specific tools are involved I see no difference in the result, just more complicated process. What have I missed?

@MichaelShainblum 3 года назад

I use multiple tools here that are not available in Lightroom. But either way, these are meant to show just a few examples, not every possible outcome of what you can do here. The point is you can use almost any tool in Photoshop in correlation to a smart object. Instead of a rasterized layer, with the exception of things like sharpening and cloning. The other point is to always have a way back into the RAW file for adjustments through Photoshop even after hours of work. People enjoy selecting, masking, and adjusting through photoshop given all of the more refined tools. Now that is possible to do non-destructivly.

@07wrxtr1 3 года назад

I kinda wish LR and Photoshop were simply just a single program that does everything in one shot, then let me export a downsized/compressed file with a watermark to email/post online.
