Your approach to editing has really changed my whole outlook on editing. I used to make things so complicated, naming masks, trying to get everything done in as few adjustments as possible, doing absolutely nothing organically. Now, I move a couple of sliders globally, then hit the K key as many times as I need to, making small adjustments each time until I like what I am looking at. Let it sit, look at it again, press the K key a few more times and post. Really great approach.
Really stoked to hear that mate. I know the type of workflow you’re coming from and it certainly was never for me. Glad you’re enjoying this more organic approach :)
Well... I thooought I knew PS well but this is the reason I love to watch the techniques of others. I, too, often cannot see the forest for all those big green things in the way. lol I began with PS 7 years ago and love the ease and refinements in our modern versions but I still make it far more complicated a work flow than is often necessary. Masking in a multitude of layers AFTER creating various exposures in camera raw leads one down a time-consuming path, indeed. You already know where this is going... Even old dogs can learn new tricks! I just so happen to have fresh raw files from last night to go play with now. By the way, the advice about allowing one's post-processed images "rest/simmer" a while is excellent, for we can often return later and discover discrepancies with fresh eyes that weren't apparent on the first pass. As always, thanks! This rather made my day...
Another excellent video Will, your teaching style is excellent. Not only in showing the technique in an easy straight forward manner but also the reason why you are applying the adjustment.
I needed to see this video. Overtime I have made editing more complicated and more complicated. Thank you ever so much for posting this. I took a huge deep breath after viewing this!!!!
Awesome, so glad to hear that! Having taught so many people over the years, it's certainly the one area I see people overcomplicate and get overwhelmed with. So it's nice to offer a simpler, yet effective approach. Cheers!
Thank you, will definitively try local negative dehazing for atmosphere.. Visited NZ in 2019 before my camera days, hope to get back there in near future!
Thanks mate. Yeah, most of my processing is this workflow. It's easy to think that doing more must be better or that there are some complicated tricks that can give mind blowing results, but it's just not true. Cheers :)
Thanks. The final 10% or so is generally going to be more brightening and darkening and potentially tweaking saturation either up or down. But this takes a few visits over the file for me personally. I could never get the best result in 1-2 sittings. I can get it close but not complete.
I always think I’m pretty good at editing my photos and have followed a lot of other photographers processing videos and courses, but I find yours are one of the simplest and results are always stunning. Love your work Will 😀
Thanks a lot, so clear and well explained.even for my poor Nz language ..! The results so marvellous ! I will try also with our New caledonian Landscape....and very soon in NZ !
Thank you so much William. I like this approach with the brush. The brush gives you much more flexibility versus gradient filter or even the radial gradient.
Thanks for making a ferry trip much more enjoyable 😁 Can I just say though, how chock full of good info this channel is, I don’t watch any others now … would watch about 20 to get about 5% of the teaching points on this one!
Thanks - I also like Adobe Landscape as the profile. I have Lightroom set up to apply that profile, along with lens profile corrections and remove chromatic aberrations, when I import photos. Does it automatically and fast.
Wow absolutely love your vids. So encouraging and helpful for learning. As a young amateur photographer your videos are what helps so much. What would you recommend doing with editing when I don’t have any proper editing software? I would absolutely love to meet and do some photography with you in Fiordland. Cheers. Thanks heaps!
Thanks a lot mate, I'm glad to hear the channel is helping you. Definitely hardf when you can't afford the software. Adobe does have discount pricing for students, you should look into that. You want the Photography package (without additional cloud storage). This is roughly $20NZD per month, from memory. The student discount should then that back decently.
Nice explanation Will for simple effective processing , do you still take two images for the highlights and one for the shadows then stack them ? Or is it not necessary with the new models of cameras coming out recently with much better dynamic range ? And of course the more powerful tools now available in ACR / Light Room and Photoshop it’s a big help in post processing ! Thanks for these helpful suggestions and videos you share with everyone ! Much gratitude 🙏🏻 , stay well !
Very rare for me to need to blend two exposures, mainly because the dynamic range in modern sensors is so good. Sometimes I’ll take the seperate shadow/highlight exposures in the field just to be safe, but I never need them anyways. Perhaps if you want a slow shutter on water flow but the sky is way too bright, then it’s still useful. Really appreciate the kind words and support!
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography much appreciated Will for your reply ! That’s what I suspected with these new camera sensors now , that’s a huge improvement as it’s quite a lot of processing with those double exposures which if you not that proficient with your skills it makes photography processing off putting to some people . Thanks again Will , greetings from Perth ! 👋🏼
Thanks so much for the support. Let me know what else you might be struggling with when it comes to photography and I'll try help in future videos.

Very simple lesson that allows anyone to improve their photo editing skills. Thanks.
Thank you :)
Clear, concise and highly informative as ever, thanks!
You're very welcome!

Profesional dalam pengambilan moment alam ....sukses
Thank you !
Outstanding tutorial, best I've watched so far. I just started diving deep into PS and LRC and this one video is a game changer! Thank you.
Don’t know why I never saw your channel but it’s now my new favorite. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I appreciate that!
Thanks Will. It’s great that you freely share your years of experience with your followers.
My pleasure. Thanks mate :)
Thank you, William 🙏💚📸🖥️
Thanks Gary!
Such great tips, you explain it very well and simply.
Thank you 🙏🏻

Hope you can someday :)
luv your editing videos and how you explain things and I have been using these tools for nearly 10 years........
Thanks Steve!
Yet another video I really enjoyed watching - thanks Will.
Keep up the good work, as we all stay tuned ;).
Thanks again mate! 👊🏻
Good video again Plane and straight forward editing is usually the best way I think it’s to easy to get carried away
Thanks mate. Yeah, most of my processing is this workflow. It's easy to think that doing more must be better or that there are some complicated tricks that can give mind blowing results, but it's just not true. Cheers :)
Thanks Will - very insightful as always. Would love to see your „last 10%“ of editing as this is the part where I struggle the most. Cheers!

Nice workflow William, just got an image last night so will try the process on it. Thank you
Awesome mate, cheers 🙏🏻
Thanks for the video and tips

Another useful tutorial with the how and why. Thanks for sharing these.
My pleasure!
Always learn something everytime I watch your videso.
Awesome, thank you John.
Thank you so much!
My pleasure! 🙏🏻
Very good video and concise in delivery of information. I love that you do steps and then let it "marinate" before finishing!
Thanks so much!
A very useful and helpful video in many ways. The use of the Adjustment Brush is one of your gifts to me. Many thanks.
Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Thank you so much William. I like this approach with the brush. The brush gives you much more flexibility versus gradient filter or even the radial gradient.

@@WilliamPatinoPhotography Thanks heaps for the help! Really appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time and effort to reply and help out.
I’ve taken courses and watched tons of post recessing tutorials and That is where all epic images are made. I hate post processing

In the game of Chess when one exposes a piece, that piece is in danger technically. Thank you for your help. In advance.
And all without those accursed luminosity masks.
Exactly! Haven’t touched them in almost a decade 😅🫡
