great format and presentation. I like the circle over the navigator menu, it makes it really easy to watch what you're doing in lightroom but also gives the video a more personal feel. like being in a video meeting. great content too. subscribed
@ appreciate the response. Would you recommend an iPad over a MacBook as a primary device? Will mainly be shooting portraits for social media and small prints. Too bad I can only afford one device for now 😅
and then there is me with -91 Contrast and doing all the work with the 4 sliders and tone curve lol i believe a shot should be captured well (exposed) in-camera, but post-processing can give your images a new artistic touch - like creating your own "film" profile by adding grain, or warmth/tint etc.
@watzac when you save your settings for what you’ve done to the photo as a preset, can you save the masking as well? Or should I do all the masking after you apply your settings to each photo? Like if I wanted to batch edit (if that is a thing) should I save the masking for after I run the preset I made for similar photos?I hope that makes sense. I’ve never used Lightroom before,😬 I’ll go and check out the rest of your videos to see if you’ve made a video addressing this before. But wanted to ask. Thanks! I am enjoying the Lightroom videos a lot!! I like that they are it too long winded but addressing most of my questions.
Welcome. This photo is easier to edit. I would really like to see a photo that is difficult to edit, for example a photo in the forest, where the green and yellow light hits the subject's face. And the face and ends of the model are the colors of the forest. Unfortunately, on RUclips you can only find simple pictures to edit, no one edits something difficult, let's learn how to manage to edit a portrait in nature, etc.
A good photo makes a amazing edit A bad photo makes a bad edit And ok photo makes a slightly better edit What I’m trying to say is learn to take photos well and you will do great
Why you are editing a photo which is already amazing. We don't have good camera or places to capture this kinda photo. Please use photos which are moderate so we can relate with that.
Solid Video. I actually agree with not altering the image too much and just make mini adjustments. Natural is always better
Thanks Kevin, stoked to be able to help you out!
I love your style! You don’t drastically change the colouring, but tweak it to enhance the natural beauty to perfection.

Oh man thank you for the kind words! Super happy to hear I've helped you out!
Thanks a lot for the insight of your editing, very interesting. Your work is absolutely beautiful by the way.
Thank you thank you!!
Hi Zac, thanks for this video. Can I get away editing client portraits with an iPad? Regards!
Absolutely you can!

just discovered your channel and I already learned so much in a few hours. Keep it up man, not all superhero wears capes lol
This means the world... Thank you for the support!

great job Zac
Thank you!
Hey Zac, do you always edit on the Macbook? Is it a good choice for editting inthe long run or should I invest in an iMac? Love the vids
So, what’s more preferable to edit with LrC or Adobe Lightroom?
THANKS FOR THESE TIPS! This reminds me not to be too heavy handed with my texture and clarity slders! Again, thank you...
Killer work Zac!
What laptop are you using?
Thank you!
My pleasure!
Thank you

why is everyone using lightroom classic?
Personal preference, I use Lightroom CC. It’s the same thing
lol cute girl in the pic... "this door makes this photo"
What do you do when you've got a 65-year-old woman who has paid for a portrait and she was absolutely gorgeous when she was 30?
Why are you choosing a photo which is already looking good?
A good photo makes a amazing edit
A bad photo makes a bad edit
And ok photo makes a slightly better edit
What I’m trying to say is learn to take photos well and you will do great
I couldn’t have said it better myself! I wasn’t trying to show off a bad photo here, I’m not sure why you assumed that was the standard?
Trying to save bad photos with crazy editing is not a good habit to form or teach.
You channel deserves more views! learnt lots from this video 🙌🪄✨️
Too kind, thank you so much!
Should change the title to how to edit portraits like a pro when the photo is pretty much already perfect in camera lol
