    I was in love with the original crop. The 3 roadways or openings took my eyes and mind elsewhere. I loved that. Never even noticed the man. The 3 directions had a lot of impact. 👍

    What's up Evan! Since I started watching you I been going out everyday for at least an hour or more to do street photography. I'm also in the Atlanta area! Great video man!

    5:05 "...and I'm slooowly going to brush out in a circular motion..." Man, your flow is on 100%. Don't play Michelangelo lol.

    Very nice tutorial / video. Like how you verbalized your thought process. Looking forward to sitting down later tonight and exploring your techniques on some of my library photos to see if I can improve them. Big fan of your RUclips and Instagram feeds. Really respect what you’re doing.

    Great video Evan, thank you. When you removed the unnecessary lights on the left I had a thought: the ones on the right work really well, but one of them is out. You could use the clone tool to copy one of the lit ones from the left over to the right to enhance the leading line effect of those lights. Just a thought, love your work, thank you

    loving the new feature of commenting in real time while watching the video. anywho... really great video thank you for stopping me from blindly looking for black and white filters. I have been out of touch with photo editing for a while now kind of forgot the basics of black and white. starting to remember the basic things again thank you for reminding the black and white tab in Lightroom. although I'm in mobile but I'm sure it's there in the phone as well. thanks again. you rock man!

    Evan Ranft - to make the photo B&W in LightRoom Mac you can just click the key "V" (just thought of mentioning it)

    Would definitely be interested in a video talking through the last "20%" of the edit, as you put it. Great video though, really pleased I checked out your channel. Been watching your stuff for the last 2 weeks or so and have been digging all the tutorials and behind the scenes video. Keep up the excellent work!

      @strixxx896 4 года назад +1

      Just click the gradient button next to the circle and brush, and there will be little circle on the photo were you've applied the gradient, and you will click on it and you can re edit...if you don't see the little circle, there is option under the photo, and you will check always

    all the info on the old street photo would have idicated where to dodge and where to burn. And yet Lightroom has no facility to dodge or burn....Every sees Lightroom as the saviour of the world... but for me photoshop user for 25 yrs. Now I want to more about Lightroom as I see the benefits of fast processing and level adjusting.
    I still think creating an extra layers and dodging and burning has more control and connects you precisely with image.
    Its a bit like decorating...a big brush can do everything...but to get the best you going to need a few brushes. Too many people faffing in Lightroom with adjust brushes, masking etc. the biggest bonus is virtual copies and snapshot. So long as Lightroom doesn't ever BUG out. (happened to me few years ago) and I lost 800 + edits :(
