Please do continue. Remember there has been a vacation period. I think you will see the last one catch up. Also, don't mind the statistics. Just do you, Adam! :) That's why we are here.
I'm astonished to learn that the previous video/tutorial wasn't partcularly well received. I found it very informative as well as enjoyable to watch. I really appreciate these tutorials on processing as I continue to learn. Thanks for sharing.
Yes Adam please keep up with these Tutorials as you seem to find the shortest route to a successful edit. Like myself I don't want to sit in front of a screen labouring over some pixels..... Keep safe mate.
A friend of mine just got her first camera and ask me for some editing tips. I straight away sent a list of my favourite content creators and said to watch your editing videos most and she loves watching your videos now!
So I am one who missed the last video, but it was because I have been frantically trying to figure out my new Z8 and spending my video watching time on how to get up to speed on it. It is a huge learning curve from my old camera. I need to find a class on the functions/settings and how to use them. Congrats on the new house! I will catch up on all your videos soon!😊
Very informative video. Completely understandable workflow that I can see instant benefit in moving towards. Thank you and I will go back now and catch the previous video.
This video really helped me Adam. I appreciate the great processing advice as someone who struggles with processing these really help! I loved the contrast one also that you did. Please keep making these! Thanks Jeff!
I'm finding your processing videos very helpful Adam. Seeing other ways of processing from our own can give us ideas how to improve our workflow. We all learn how to process in different ways, and these videos helps simplify our own techniques, or maybe learn new ones! Thanks so much! 🎉
I think RU-vid did you dirty! I never knew about your previous video! I fixed it to make sure notifications were working again 🙄 Please keep up the tutorials! I learn so much! Thank you ☺️☺️☺️ 💜💜💜
Really helpful to see one of my favourite photographers finishing their work on Lightroom/Photoshop. I'm one of those people who have hard drives full of unedited RAW photos. I love taking photos, but currently do nothing with them. This video make the task of editing look far less daunting for me. Thanks!
You mentioned last week’s video didn’t get as many likes as the rest of your work. I love it! I appreciate your processing videos. I find them very helpful and easy to follow. I hope you will continue making them. Thanks for your hard work putting them together. Cheers, K
So good to see you showing how LR can now do a lot of mask adjustment without the complication of PS tht previously has turned people off with PP good job, thanks, Adam.
Yes, I’ve never been drawn to those who overcomplicate the editing process. Takes too long and takes the fun out of the creative act. Great videos, a must see for me every week!👍
Thanks...One of the big benefits for me is the conversation about why you are doing a specific technique. All kinds of videos on how but I struggle too with the why.
I thought it was great Adam. Please continue. I also think that a re-establishment of the F4 club. And If you do that you get a similar caravan. 😂😂😂🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Hi Adam, as much as I enjoy the myriad of waterfall, mountain and coastal landscapes from around the world posted by various photographers after a while they get to be very ''Samey'' in their content. To see how these photographs have been dealt with in post and the different techniques and styles used is just as interesting and maybe even more informative. Though having said that I think it's important to keep the balance of content interesting. I also like the fact that your videos are not overly padded out with too many scenes of driving to and from destinations, walking to and fro with several different camera angles and even trips to the shops etc. I love the simplicity of your style but also know in real life it's just not that simple and comes from years of work and experience. Keep it up.
I recently returned from the redwoods in northwest California and your previous video helped tremendously in the post processing of the forest images. Thanks, Adam.
Another excellent tutorial based video Adam, the actual editing in lightroom, photoshop ect is easy once you’re confident in using all the features. The hardest part is recognising the mimimum to bring the scene to life, and to that end you are truly a master at creating impelling images.
I watched your “Using Colour & Contrast to create Depth” video earlier today. I liked it so watched this one next. Both excellent insights and inspiration on editing techniques. Now subscribed.
Simple and straightforward edits with maximum impact - that is what I want to see as I am not a fan of learning to deal with 5000 layers in PS :-) - rather spend more time capturing - thanks for this tutorial and do continue with this series!
You manage to keep it simple but conveying very effective techniques, loved the video so please keep these edit sessions as part of you're overall arsenal👍
I personally like these videos, last week's was great as well. Keep up the great job, some of us need little refresher here and then. Thanks Adam great video.
I have been out taking sunset pictures over barns this week. Because of the dynamic range, the barns in the foreground look hazy and low contrast. These videos are helping with these tough conditions.
I learned another new to me tip. Using the Alt key to find both white and back points I've known about but using it to check near the end of the process to double check which areas are brightest will help me make my final image.
These are the best videos for me. Usually I can get 4 to 6 little tips from each of these and my editing workflow is much better. I still have much to learn on composition and that is really eating my confidence especially with autumn coming but these instructional videos are a tremendous help. Thank you and wonderful job!
Editing is not unlike playing a piece on the piano. The notes are the same for everyone, but each pianist will have their own take on it. There are times I would have taken a different approach, mainly because your method was unknown to me. Because of your videos I've been more willing to stack masks up to warm/cool and brighten areas to help guide the viewers eye to the story I'm trying to convey. Thanks!
I enjoy these every bit as much as your in the field vlogs . My attention span is not compatible with the editing techniques of many others . I may do one or two masks on occasion ( focus stack ) , maybe luminosity but that's it for me . More than 20-30 min is MAX for me on any edit . I don't think I'm shortcutting and anything more would be unnoticeable and overkill to me . I've bought a few tutorials that after watching , I'll never apply the techniques ! KISS !
Your editing videos are enlightening and sadly not often enough. I admire your views on editing and almost always learn something that I didn't know. You provide a different vision that I may not have thought of and that is a good thing.I enjoy editing so to me, it will always be of interest. Thanks Adam.
I am always intrigued by the edits you bring to a RAW file that transform it into the final image. In this video, among all that is craft, you draw attention to customizing Lightroom’s Develop module to follow the user’s use, something efficient and productive. Good, good!
Another winner, Adam. (Lagging viewership on the last video may be because many of your viewers may be off vacationing in mid-August. Hopefully, they’ll catch up on the videos they missed.)
Very inspiring video, Adam, as was last week's video, or should I say tutorial. I really do appreciate the subtlety of your edits. Never over the top (well, the name of your channel says it all), always honest. And stimulating me to look at my own edits with a fresh eye.
Sorry, I missed last week’s video. I had too much to do. I’m still trying to catch up. I love your videos. How did you manage to get that image in focus throughout? Congratulations on the new house.
Adam, thank you for this video and the last one. I like your simple approach to editing, sometimes I think that I spend too much time editing a photo. It's good to be able to pick up some new tips, anticipate your edits, and reinforce some things that I'm doing right. I always look forward to your "in studio" videos, as well as your "in the field" ones with your buds. Hope your new home isn't a major project like Gavin's!
Hi Adam - Thank you so much for sharing your tips! As a long time iMac user, I was wondering if you were happy with using your iMac for processing and if you have had issues with using 5k to work on your images. I've been told that lower resolution is better for processing images? I am also wondering about the overall brightness level compared to other monitors and social media. Im just trying to figure out what direction to go in if I eventually get a Mac studio set up.
I really like the iMac, simple to use and gets the job done. You will have to calibrate the monitor though as it tend to be too bright if left on its own.
This might be an awkward, stupid question: When you convert to TIFF (16 bit, I guess) so early in the process, is the dynamic range of the raw files maintained or are you losing information?
I have to be honest. I did watch the last video, but only half way through. I understood the concept, so I didn’t bother watching the rest of it. Sorry Adam.
It's much better for learning if you tell us the goal before you begin the process of getting there. Simply starting out with creating a complex mask without telling us why you're making it isn't efficient. "Tell them what you're gonna tell them. Tell them. Then tell them what you told them." :) Otherwise, excellent.
