Millions of apologies, Will. I’m low no photography and hi on other experiences but what about RAW in this context? Do you want whatever software to take the settings are saved in jpeg as the starting point? I guess so but like you I try and avoid this whole Post thing. Anyway again apologies. If I have any validity in the below comment or this one, please respond on Twitter @Stephen_Baker_ otherwise I’ll leave you now in peace and thank you very, very much for introducing me to photography. If I may, I’ll now suggest that you look at Rembrandt - his entire life’s work...bye bye
Your videos are just the best - I only wish I’d found you sooner! Thanks for your detailed and interesting information. I look forward to watching lots more.
I don't use Lightroom or shoot in RAW (yet) but I really like this workflow! I have been editing my jpegs in a very haphazard fashion but what you have demonstrated makes much more sense and gave an amazing result. I shall give it a try - or as close as my software will allow. Thank you for this.
Your structured, thought through approach once again shines through. Very helpful process and showed me ideas within Lightroom I had not come across before - thank you. Hope it won’t be long before you are back in Basil and back in the fabulous nature of SA. Stay well.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Giles and sorry for the late reply, exhausting few weeks. Deadlines have been met, so hopefully will be back here soon. Take care!
Great to have come across your channel Will. I really enjoy your priority on understanding outcomes and strategy and then having a a clear and consistent approach to using the software interface to deliver on the strategy. This is real added value over the more common perfunctory ‘how to’ videos. Keep up the good work. Al Gurr
Thank you Al, I'm so pleased to hear that. You are the first person ever to mention it. But yes, I think so much of what we teach or try to learn actually gets in the way. Most of the time it, someone starting out won't know what they want to achieve and just becomes lost. I think it helps to have a clear objective first.
Every picture is different. This is how I’m working on wildlife currently. Sometimes I will move out into other programs (but didn’t want to make a confusing or longer video - this one was hard enough!!). Sometimes the WB needs more tweaking initially. The crux for general wildlife images is that I prefer to alter exposure and contrast first before colour to avoid iterative changes which tend to go around in ever decreasing circles. I also use local adjustments which I skipped in this video. No one workflow, in my experience, works all the time. How do you work with your images?
@@WillGoodlet Photography is my hobby and when I started using Ligtroom I naturally followed the given procedure. Most bloggers follow this. Meanwhile, I edit the photos intuitively, depending on what photo I have on the monitor. Recently, however, I am also trying new software, such as from Topaz DeNoise AI. In general, I find your approach very interesting and will apply it sometime. I'm still on learning step
Interesting vid, thanks Will. This is a good time to practice Lightroom techniques I think. Grim here under lockdown with things getting worse. I worry so much for the poorer African nations if this sweeps through like it has in Europe. Talk about fire, pestilence and plague - the world has had the lot what with locusts in Africa and fires in Oz. Stay home and stay safe everyone. Chris
Great job and “love your detail in your explanations of what and why’s. By far your “all” videos are top notch. And your subject videos are real world quality info.! Your my go to guy for learning to improve. Thank you for what you do!!
Thanks Will another awesome video especially for these covid19 times! Basically I do the same except I am a bit more aggressive in style and like using the shadows slider to bring forth shadow details. Stay safe Will!
Will, you have just given me more justification to keep those bad shots. Because you have shown that they can be saved. Always great vlogs, and material fantastic. Always glad I subscribed. Look forward to the next. See you out there!
Haha don't worry Euge, I've got some ideas to share on the importance of deleting - although I'm sure there are very few bad ones in your folders. :) Thanks again and stay well. See you out there!
Thanks, Will. Your flow makes very good sense. I'm pretty much self taught, but have been influenced greatly by RUclipss by Anthony Morganti. He is also very rational. I look forward to learning from yours now and fine tuning!
If the image has the minimums, always contrast first, then color. Then back and forth for tweaks, that's the stuff!! Great save of an image a lesser editor would have trashed. Greatt video.
@@WillGoodlet It's interesting watching a different thought process using different but similar software maneuver through the similar path and arrive at the same destination. You do a nice job!
@@WillGoodlet I've run the gamut (no pun intended) over the years, (45 years in graphics) of course starting out with Adobe products. I stayed with postscript and then postscript/PDF, ICC Compliant applications as my work became larger in scale and shifted toward art quality donor walls, over 100 feet x 14 feet, architectural signage and image work. As I got more architectural images to correct and convert I used Corel Photo-PAINT, Adobe Photoshop and a few plug-ins. Now I'm using, CorelDRAW for larger scale digital output, I use AfterShot Pro 3 for RAW conversions, it has Denoise built in but I also have the stand alone version of Denoise. I also use PaintShop Pro 2021 as it has filters designed for substandard images. Corel Photo-PAINT handles the back bone work for LAB, CMYK and Device N color work in a postscript/PDF, ICC Compliant environment. I also use Akvis Mask stand alone, PhotoZoom Pro stand alone, Photoshop and GIMP sometimes. The key to all of this is coordination of the work flow as only CorelDRAW, Photo-PAINT, Photoshop and GIMP are document color managed applications. The rest are application color managed applications. Which is not too bad you just have to coordinate your processes. GIMP is not bad but wonky because of the open source development. I use Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, with 64 GB of RAM, a 6GB NVidia graphics card, a Samsung 1TB SSD a 3 TB Western Digital secondary drive with a 5TB backup drive. Logged onto a 12TB Windows 10 server. A 27" ViewSonic display a Xrite Spyder X Pro for calibration. My work environment is lit to 5,000 Kelvin and the windows has heavy curtains. I just started playing with a camera in a hobbyist manner a litte more than a year ago. Nikon D3400, a standard lens set 18 x 55 I believe and a 70 x 300. Grand kids family events and back yard wildlife and neighbors gardens. I like playing with people who are a good deal better than I am, I think it makes my work improve.
@@davidmilisock5200 It sounds like you have a great deal of experience with the software that you can take into your photography. I've noticed that a lot of people struggle with both the photography and the post processing. It's often the case that they will expect a great image straight out of camera (which sometimes happens) but most of the time an image will need some work. Then it's the case that the experience is not there. They don't know how to use the applications, what application to use and also what result to drive towards. My philosophy, in both capture and processing is to try to understand what you want before you even take the shot (or buy the equipment). Everything should be directed by and serve the end goal, equipment, capture, and processing. With wildlife, it's hard because it can often surprise you - which is one reason I love the genre. You have no idea you are going to run into a Caracal for example. And then you have to define the end result you want out of the encounter and work towards it by working within the constraints the animal and environment gives you and the capabilities of your equipment and processing.
Thanks Margaret! Hope you are doing okay? Sorry to say thanks so late. The last few weeks have been utterly exhausting. Hopefully will be more present going forward :)
@@WillGoodlet it was instructive, I never looked at a workflow like that especially the contrast before color. Learned something, hope some more is coming during lockdown.
Thanks Rino! Appreciate you taking a look as always. I came up with this after trying to colour correct different video footage (which is a nightmare)’

Will, to be honest, a very headstrong workflow. Is this your standard workflow or does it depend on the photo that you are currently working on.
Every picture is different. This is how I’m working on wildlife currently.

Will, thank you so much for this video it has helped me understand editing a whole lot better than any other I have viewed on RUclips👏🏻 Thank you sir
Cheers Chris, glad you liked it :)
Please do the same with Canon DPP
Not a piece of software I use much, but the tools and principles will be very similar.
One benfit with DPP is that it is free to use for Canon Camera Owners. Just register your product and download.
Benny Andén yep but so slow (at least for me)
Will, you have just given me more justification to keep those bad shots. Because you have shown that they can be saved.
Always great vlogs, and material fantastic. Always glad I subscribed. Look forward to the next.
See you out there!
