I love how you edit your work to create your images. I see editing as a means to bring out the best in each image. Art is the final goal for me, whether one begins with a camera, or a paint brush. Thank you, again!

@NigelDanson Год назад

Thank you very much!

@paulwarrilow4103 Год назад

Super helpful Nigel, as always. Thanks for sharing these techniques!

@cyanihilist Год назад

I have enjoyed photography for the last 15 years or so, but knew so little about the intricacies of the craft including how important editing an image can be. Finally made an equipment upgrade last year and have started using lightroom, and the difference is night and day. This video really helped clarify some aspects of lightroom that I didn't understand at all, so thank you for creating it!

@msingrey14 Год назад

Great video, Nigel. I watched this earlier today and have been fiddling with the brush tool in my images ever since. What a huge difference it has made. Thank you for explaining this in a way I could finally understand.

@petar3683 Год назад

The way you see light is immaculate! Cheers Nigel

@keithsimpson8676 Год назад

The transformation of the first image is quite remarkable. Some more videos on creative vision would be very helpful.

@robertwhitemoto Год назад

Thanks Nigel... I "add" and "subtract" using other tools but learned today how to "Intersect" with the brush, so helpful.

@paulbenson3441 Год назад

Good Morning Nigel, just getting ready to go to work. The brush tool in Lightroom has become my favourite for doing all those subtle changes. It's a very satisfying feeling to recall that image from the moment you captured it, and that subtle touch with the brush I've found really helps. The real beauty is that if it doesn't feel right, I can delete the mask and try again. Great little tool. Some of the smallest changes can be very powerful.

@paulburwood8231 Год назад

Great video Nigel, with lots of fab tips; will certainly return to this regularly.

Looking forward to your tilt shift video - I have had that very lens for around ten years and find it really useful for panos and getting huge depth of field without needing to focus stack..

@blue_ranger Год назад

Bit of a game changer for me there, Nigel! I had totally been using the brush tool wrong, so wasn't enamoured by it. Your clear explanation will undoubtedly take my pics to the next level. Thanks!

Bunch of new information for me, even after watching tons of lightroom and related tutorials. Thanks for that and great content!

@swirly_magnolia Год назад

It IS possible to replicate intersect on the iPad very easily. Eg. Select sky, subtract linier gradient at the bottom of the sky then click reverse button. This can be done with all of the tools

@MalKennedy Год назад

I do this quite a lot. With the Apple pen it’s a great way to get really fine control of brush masks if you don’t have a desktop setup with a tablet and stylus.

That was so simple! I was watching you edit and when you were done, I just said - DAMN. And rolled my eyes. LOL I mean, it pays to know not only how to use the software but what features are there that can be used to the max. This video just resolved a few issues I was having in figuring out how to edit some photos from an air show here in California. So glad I'm subscribed to your channel!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Thank you so much for this very interesting video, showing how to create wonderful effects with tools we all are familiar with. I’d love to see more of iPad workflows because I feel many people (myself included) are switching to it. Honestly, I’ve been enjoying working on the Lightroom for iPad so much that I have not touched my Mac and Lightroom CC in months :)

@hamsterneckliving Год назад

What?!? I just picked up three new things I can use. I had no idea about the shift-click to get the brush to do a line. As I have a slight tremor in my hand that is extremely useful. Much easier than trying to brush the entire length of a tree trunk. Thank you so much. Great content.

Between the first brush click and the second shift+click, you can change the size, density, etc. of the brush to get a more appropriate end brush.

@josephstanski5180 Год назад

Great video Nigel. I love the creative vision you have for each image. I was wondering, do you "creatively see" the image in the field the way you want it to appear in LR? Also, I love how you "tell yourself" what you want to do, as you express that creative vision in these video. I think its a creative process that unfolds as you express your vision, even when your not videoing. Again, well done Nigel. Thanks for the lesson. :o)

@philipcooper8297 Год назад

Alright, I am genuinely impressed. Although I'm against painting shadows and features into my images, your final image looks very nice and still somewhat believable/realistic.

@ReidThaler Год назад

You can intersection on the iPad: Mask, then Subtract, then Invert

@albert4882 Год назад

That tip at 14:00 about saving/using presets for masks is brilliant! I really wish I could use it, but I don't have that "custom" button under effects, so I guess it's only available for Lightroom Classic. Which sucks, cause Adobe won't let me get Classic without PS, so I have to stick with normal Lightroom as it's half the monthly cost of CC+PS...

@GeoffGrant2010 Год назад

Thanks Nigel, nice mix of editing tips and tools. I found it a little hard to follow your brush without either a “highlighted circle” around it or a mask. One or the other would help. Also, how do you save some of your tools like glow. Thanks again for all you do! Geoff

@azizasss2479 Год назад

Thank you for all the content you do! I have a question do you perform all those edits in Lightroom with your monitor dimmed to D65?

@ruud1071 Год назад

Hi Nigel, great video again! I am wondering if you ever use Lightroom CC and Classic in parallel. I am finding that, especially being abroad, I heavily rely on CC to store my photos securely. But that cuts me out of Classic. Or can I use them in parallel?

@BigPhilipUK Год назад

Hi Nigel, I was editing on my iPad in the Lakes on holiday a few weeks ago and was wondering where Intersect is on the iPad app. As you say it's not there but you can always subtract and then invert which has the same effect.

@John-fb3ut Год назад

In this tutorial you demo using a Mac on one image and an iPod on a different image. What is the LR work flow you use to do a quick edit on an iPad while on location and then finish off on a Mac when you are back home?

@joaodomingues1559 Год назад

Hello Nigel. As always, awesome content. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I would like to ask you a question, do you think a tablet like the iPad Pro could be your main editing machine? Or would you prefer a 14’ screen, like an MacBook Pro? Thank you so much.

@egilsb5965 Год назад

Hi Nigel. I have been admiring your work for some time now, and have also bought one of your books. Now I actually find this video a bit disappointing, seeing that you change the the impression of the factual lighting situation by creating a shadow area in the foreground. This makes me wonder how to approach your photos from now on. What did you actually see and photograph? How did you make use of the situation, the light? What have you added in Lightroom? I must admit I sometimes do some local adjustments myself, but only to overcome the shortcomings of the camera in rendering the actual situation the way I remember it. Otherwise I do only global adjustments. However, I don't have to make a living from my photography. Perhaps that is why I can afford to be a purist?

@NigelDanson Год назад

I think photography is an art and ultimately I recreate what I saw. Dodging and burning has been part of photography for over 100 years now.

@egilsb5965 Год назад

@@NigelDanson Fair point. Still, I think it should make a difference what kind of photographers we make people think we are. Are we nature and landscape photographers or are we photographers creating art based on photos of such? I always find it helpful when photographers state their philosophy, or ethos if you like, and/or divide their photos into categories on their websites according to purposes and techniques. That is always helpful to other photographers, I believe.
