Trust me there is something that separates you from others. They might try showing too many techniques, showcase "advanced" ways of improving photos in Lightroom but somehow when I watch those videos I lose connection with where we started in the first place. The way you deliver your content is a binding force in itself. Thank you for everything you have taught me and I am sure, to many more.

@wolfgangmarvelous7239 24 дня назад

As an amateur photographer who’s been using Lightroom CC for the last few years, I’d heard people make vague mention of features in Lightroom Classic which CC didn’t have. This is the first time I’ve seen one spelled out, and in such a clear and informative way. Love your videos, Simon.

@brucegraner5901 24 дня назад

I worked for over 40 years as a press photographer and have worked with Photoshop, starting with version 3.0, and yet my skill level is very basic. This video is a big help because for all my working years we were only allowed to dodge and burn and do some spotting. Anything else was a firing offense. In retirement I'm trying my hand doing some bird photography and videos like this are a big help. Much thanks.

@samuelsmith6804 24 дня назад

Great tips. One thing I used to do too much in order to make the subject stand out more would be to boost clarity, vibrance, saturation etc on the subject. This can work, but it can leave the subject looking a bit fake or odd. If I am already happy with how the subject looks, sometimes it’s its better to select the background, remember the sliders move both ways and reduce the clarity, dehaze, saturation etc instead. It has the same effect of making the subject pop out more, but keeps the subject looking more natural. Both ways or a blend of both ways can work. Whichever suits the scene.

I'm just repeating what other people have commented on, but I can't resist. Aside from your brilliant photography sense and ability, your videos are among the best instructional videos out there. Whereas many other 'tubers will spend 30 minutes fumbling about explaining just one thing that you've covered, you manage to pack one 12 minute video with a wide range of extremely useful advanced techniques. On top of that, you explain everything in such an easy-to-understand way without using any more words than are necessary. And, you manage to do all that while not talking down to your audience. As always, thank you so much.

@markjarrett9400 22 дня назад

I have been using LIghtroom for years, but had never used the colour range selection tool. I had not explored it. I have just tried it out on a couple of images and It worked very well. I do find that more often than not the select object and select object as well as the select people are a bit hit and miss when the object is not that predominant. I often have to add a brush tool or adding a further select object mask. In pictures, like your stack the select object works very, very well. Thank you very much for continuing to post videos. I usually learn something from them.

@orpaztron 24 дня назад

An experienced photographer told me a year ago that the order of processing actions in Lightroom is the order of the tools in the interface and how much it's important to work on the global correction first. I'm not a professional photographer but I've never done it. I always break down the image into masks according to my final vision. Thanks for confirming this work process.

@peterwmdavis 24 дня назад

You still need a good starting place, I think Simon shows you don’t have to get it perfect. But if the global white balance or exposure are way off, you should fix that first. Sometimes the masks don’t perfectly overlap and you don’t want to double-correct the white balance or miss something.

@emyoswald 24 дня назад

General to specific is a good rule of thumb. That photographer didn’t tell you anything incorrect - use both global and specific adjustments for best results.

@yodawok 24 дня назад

Mr. d'Entremont.... You sir ONE of A KIND! Mil Gracias.

@DrLoneyDal 23 дня назад

I have been waiting for this one for a while. While I use masks for numerous edits, I always expected that you used them more effectively than most of us. I’ll be practicing some of these on my next edits. Brilliant video - so much info, so well illustrated. Thanks so much!

@dougbottrell4751 24 дня назад

Wonderfully clear and concise details to walk your viewers through the processing steps. 10/10 Simon.

@_JaySho 24 дня назад

If there are any lightroom mobile user like me, you can do the intersecting mask trick in mobile too. First add mask > select subject > select the mask on the toolbar/ mask menu > subtract from mask > then choose the linear gradient. Hope that helps for anyone wondering. Also for mobile users, we don’t have the “select background” option, the mobile work around is to select the subject in masking > then invert the mask…brushing in any missed spots

@jjbyrd04 16 дней назад

Awesome tips here. Having a strong understanding of when to use global and when to separate with masks has helped me immensely in my short time as a photographer. Have fun everyone!

@owral-36794 22 дня назад

For intersecting masks I you can also hold Alt/opt when a mask is selected, then the subtract and add will be replaced with intersect. From that select masks as normal!

@MattisProbably 24 дня назад

The first things I change are the tone curve, the blacks and the whites. I set the medium contrast tone curve, then hold alt and drag down the blacks just until they start to clip the tiniest bit in the darkest areas of the frame. Then I pull up the whites until I see parts of the image clipping and pull it back down again until I see that nothing clips anymore. In most cases this gives you a very pleasing range of contrast across the frame because you have everything from pure black to pure white with the blacks only clipping very slightly in the very darkest parts of the image and whithout blowing out any highlights. Naturally this might not work with very difficult lighting but in most cases this gives very pleasing results with contrast that isn't completely overdone. And it's easy. After further adjustments I go back to check the backs and whites again. And ever since Lightroom revamped the masking settings I started using them more often as well. Especially for portraits they are amazing because you can just select every part of a person individually!

@charlieparis3454 7 дней назад

I have been using masks non-stop for months now in all my photos, I am somewhat of an ameteur and so for some reason since I have been using these masks so religiously I have felt like I was cheating photography or that I was too much of an ameteur that I was using masks instead of global adjustments. Good thing to know that I am actually improving.

@undefwun2135 21 день назад

Good video for newbies. I been around a while and self taught and sometimes don't realise not everyone does this already. Masking to enhance/fix things is a must for me. Especially as an event photographer where you don't have the luxury of setting things up perfectly. Tip for the Select Sky option to make it really clean: Do "Select Sky", then from that mask, click subtract "select sky" and invert that subtraction. If you have the colored mask on you can see how much cleaner the selection of the sky is. Just make it a preset if its something you use a lot, like me and this works for some of the other masking options as well. There is a few videos on this here on YT.
