@@claudiogavinho Fantastic! Have you ever thought about updating it or is the older model pretty good? For anyone reading this, getting a used one sounds like a great idea 🙂
@@MattShannonPhoto Oh, my mistake. Sorry, Matt. I gave the wrong idea. The first Wacom tablet I bought was an Intuos 2, and now I use an Intuos 4. But even the older models are certainly pretty good.
Thanks for explaining each step and then going quickly so the repetitive steps are not consuming a lot of time … we can pause at any point so there is no need to go slow. Great job.
Matt, this is impressive , never seen this color dodging before , simple method - just pick a solid color there you go , easy to use and total in control of the area and the color you want , less mucking around on the curve . luminosity.. , really love it . Thanks Matt , see you next tutorial .
Hi Matt, congratulations on the tutorial! We’re a video production company based on the beach in Brazil, so 100% of our work includes beach scenes. We’ve seen significant improvement in the color grading of landscapes, and we’d love to see more of how you would handle beach scenes, like the color of the sea, the sand, the rocks, etc. Congratulations again, and we’re subscribed to your channel!
Happy to hear it! Thank you for the feedback. I’d like to roll out a few more editing videos in the future and it’s nice to know what works for viewers. Don’t want to go too fast or too slow. Huge help thank you! Cheers
Thanks for the video. You explained the process more slowly for the first couple and then showed it in practice more quickly with multiple image types. You obviously have a very refined and speedy workflow, but anyone could apply the thinking if they have a basic familiarity with editing software. I like the fact that this is still quite simple but a lot more nuanced than the built in tools. I look forward to trying it out.
Amazing tutorial!!!! Fast and simple. I don't have time to sit around for long periods of time editing. This will be more than sufficient for 99% of the time. Thank you and new subscriber here.
You've given me some excellent ideas for many of my photographs and how to solve some problems I've been having. Photoshop is definitely the way to go for the edits you've shown.
Good morning, I just tried the photoshop version, and it's just so good! My only doubt was how to apply more whites to a snowy mountain scene? The rocks really were enhanced with the bluish layer! Thank you very much, and regards from Uruguay.
WOW…THANK YOU, Matt..I have never done this type of editing…I do have the tablet and love it over a mouse…can’t wait to try these tips out Thanks again!
Thanks for walking through these steps. I tried the technique on a few of my photos, and now the photos really pop. It took awhile to get used to the steps and adjusting the colors but in the end, it worked!
Great video, thank you. I do basically the same thing color dodging and burning with a luminosity mask but I like this method. I use ACR so used your color grading method in ACR and then tried it on a second image when I took the image into PS to finish. Very similar results using both methods but do like PS better. Quicker than using luminosity masks.
Give it a try and let me know how you made out. I added a bunch of examples so that these two steps did indeed work well on most images. But the "proof is in the pudding" as they say so I'm curious how viewers will make out trying this themselves 😊
@@devo5566 Oh no, perhaps I made it look too easy in the video when really it takes a lot of time and practice. Make sure your brush's opacity and flow isn't set to 100% or else your going to add too much Dodge and Soft Light to the image all at once. You can change the flow and opacity at the top of the PS page when you have the paint brush selected. Hope that helps 🙂
These techniques have blown my mind and hopefully some of my rather flat photographs. Any plans to do a session on use the 'Magic Wand' and inverting it to remove shadow, shining etc? I am really struggling to get it right. I have now subscribed.👍
Thank you and so glad this popped up in my feed. I immediately put it to work and I'm loving it. I had just learned (stumbled on) the Lightroom way but like the Photoshop process better. I don't really use PS....need to utilize it more.
Thanks for the tutorial. In Lightroom, you can also use the masking tool with a coloured brush. This gives more control over the process, than only the colour wheels which affect the whole image at once.
Interesting, I use a similar technique to edit real estate photography. The flambiant method bending a flash image and an ambient light image using a layer mask. Beautiful images sir! Excellent work on the tutorial!
Great video as always, Matt. I usually do the global adjustments in LR (or Camera Raw) and the specific adjustments in PS. It's the way I work faster. In LR, to enhance color, I first use the blue channel in the Calibration panel. I noticed something that might be important, especially for those who are not used to editing with masks: controlling the opacity, flow, and smoothing of the brush.
Thank you! My work flow is basically the same as yours, global adjustments in LR and then throw it into PS for the detail work. I've used Capture One and I liked it, but most of my work is done in Adobe software including Premier Pro for video, Bridge for organization, After Affects when needed and a few more. So... LR will have to do considering the all-in-one package I pay for. I do like how adobe works well with other adobe software, Bridge to LR to PS and back to LR, and their printing adjustments are easy to use when printing at home both in LR and PS. I'm sure Capture One is good too but I never got to that state when I used it.
@@MattShannonPhoto I completely understand and agree that the workflow in LR is much more fluid. However, not all adjustments are available when using masks, which is a little bothersome.
Thank you for making this informative tutorial. I see a tremendous amount of potential after I learn some of these basic skills to enhance my photography. Some of the photos I know are decent compositions, however, a bit lackluster due to over/under exposed and being in my infancy. Cheers to your style of photography, in making this video, and everything else you may be doing on the community which I am unaware of.
Absolutley incredible! I can’t wait to try this. I’ve not seen this method before and is super effective. One question… is there a specific blue or yellow you start with?
Great tutorial. Never thought of this. I'm a Capture One user, primarily due to way Lightroom handles Fuji Raw files. Will try to replicate and see how things go. Thinking colour grading and wheels, similar to Lr is the best place to start experimenting!
Damn, that was excellent. I've been struggling with my edits to get them to look like what you see all over the internet from the Pros. I'm more of a LRC person, but I know just enough PS to be dangerous. This makes me want to try them out in PS! Incredibly helpful, thank you.
I look forward to getting more in depth with editing in photoshop for select shoots and using these technics, and trying out these lightroom technics on more of my Batch work (aka weddings) - have a small drawing table but hopping to get a bigger one soon (small one is awsome for travel with laptop)
Great video. I'll be trying this in photoshop. Would you not use the mask features in lightroom to paint the effects in a similar way that you did in photoshop instead of just using the grading section?
Happy to hear you loved the video! No, I rarely use 100% opacity and flow when applying my brush strokes. I should have been a little more clear with that during the video. My wacom tablet and pen also have their own pressure sensitivities that controls the flow and opacity, depending on how firm I press the pen to the tablet.
@@MattShannonPhoto No, I haven't. So much in Adobe is still a mystery. Photography is my "hobby", and my job requires most of my time. This was one of the most interesting tips I've seen - and in such a quick presentation.
Time is short, if only our weeks were longer. Yeah, I wanted to do a fast video with all the steps that keep people interested and informed. The retention for editing videos is really short on RUclips so to be relevant and informative, it has to be quick :)
Hi Matt really great video, fabulous images as well. I am late to photo editing. I use Luminar Neo. Do you know if I can get the same sort of results as you have in PS/ Lightroom. Or could you do a video using Luminar? Thanks so much and really excited excellent work. Bravo. Take care Phil AKA keepclickingphotography
If youre using both Lightroom and photoshop in your workflow do you use the photoshop technique to replace the color grading step in Lightroom? If so which do you do first? Photoshop technique first? Or Lightroom adjustments (minus color grading) and then photoshop technique? Thanks!
