Here is the editing tablet I was using: geni.us/MQfAC
Link to my Photography Workshops: www.mattshannon.ca/workshops.html
I bought my first Wacom tablet in 2003 and since then I've only used it - not the same one, of course.
@@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.
great to hear and for others to read, thanks for sharing
I love this technique. Thank you for sharing. I have already improved several of my photos while I was watching this video.
That’s a great way to quickly give images a burst of color!! I have never seen that done before. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!!
That was fantastic! Would love to see you apply this to portraits
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your technique.
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!
I find that masking with sharpness and inverse masking with blur really does a number
Thanks for teaching a new method to pop the images, expecting more like this episode
Awesome, great to hear!
The image of the milky way over Venice at 9:33 really cracked me up! Thanks for the entertainment.
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.
This was very helpful and I enjoyed that you included a LR module. Very informative.
This is a simple technique, producing outstanding results. Thanks for sharing.🔥
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching, cheers!
Def bookmarking this video. Super helpful!
I really like this technique and like to see more of your editing type videos
Really love this!
This really makes images pop
Simple and quick. I like it. Thanks for sharing.
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.
Thanks Matt, great help and video
Happy to hear it! Cheers
Great video Matt! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Cheers from New England
Finally a use for colour grading in light room. Thanks for tips on a feature I have been completely ignoring.
Jaw-dropping results in literally two steps! Thanks for sharing!
You're so welcome!
Fantastic technique!! Thank you so much!! Very easy to follow and understand!
because the love of photography and see that sick tele on your background, after 10 sec. of the played video, i subscribed.
Wow Matt!!! Thank you for sharing this video. It is definitely going to add another tool to my editing workflow. Thanks again!
Nice pics and great work. Thanks for the education. :)
I really wish you wouldn't go so fast. any chance you could explain each step?
These are all so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!!
Glad you like them! You are very welcome, thanks for watching.
Great PS technique, will definitely use this, thanks Matt.
This was awesome! Thanks for these tips--I plan on using them to add punch and color. Looking forward to further videos and content from your channel!
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.
totally. Adobe could slam it all into one program im sure but that isn't good business for them.
Great tips Matt! Thank you for sharing. Will definitely try this out!
Thank you very much! Thanks for watching.
LOOKS GREAT!! (BEFORE & AFTER) 🙂
I’ll definitely give this a try!
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Really like your techniques and I’m certainly going to try them. Thanks 👍
Neat trick. I will create an action that creates two solid color layers and blend modes, then brush them.
Very cool technique !
This is something!!! Easy to use in my workflow. Thank you for sharing this. And I hope you getting better 🙂
I hope so too! Thanks for the positive feedback! Cheers.
Excellent info! Thanks for taking me along!
You are very welcome, thanks for watching! Cheers
These are definitely techniques i need in my work flow
Going to try them out later
Thanks 🤟
Lets get started! That looked too easy until I try this. Great results as always Matt.
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 😊
@@MattShannonPhoto I have tried this 20 times and i keep ending up making a mess lol
@@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 🙂
Awesome tip! Thanks a lot for sharing. I just moved to Lethridge, Alberta from Ontario. No regrets! 👌🏻
Very cool. Thanks!
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!
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 Matt, great vid again.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
Long time light room user who has just started dipping my toes into photoshop using layered masks. This was great!
Awesome! Glad you liked it and I hope it helps.
😊❤@@MattShannonPhoto
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.
Fantastic thanks
Fantastic!
Thank you! Cheers!
I usually use the lightroom method, I tried your photoshop trick and wow it looked so much better....thamks!
very cool - thanks for showing this
You are welcome! Thanks for watching, cheers
Thanks Matt! Like others, I haven’t seen that technique before! Very cool way to add some pop !
Hi Matt, just subscribed now, I love this just what I've been looking for, now time to try it myself. Cheers Tony
Thanks for the LR steps. Color correction is always the challenge.
You are welcome and I completely agree.
This is awesome! I appreciate it.
Thank you :)
Very clever...thanks a lot, Ima gonna try this yellow/blue colors enhancement on some of my work in PS!
💫
Excellent!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I rarely use LR and your examples were a good reason to use PS when more that basic adjustments are utilized.
Glad the examples were helpful!
Wow! A blessing of a lesson!
Thank you, I’m assuming you haven’t tried this technique?
Perhaps I should name it ☺️😎
@@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 :)
Excellent!
Many thanks!
Greetings and thanks from Germany.
Very helpful procedure. Above all, the creation of masks is no longer necessary. I was able to transfer the steps to GIMP 2.10.38. Thanks, I will now look at my photos again against this background.
Amazing images!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
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!
Nice! I was already doing the Lightroom (Camera Raw) variant, but it's nice to see how to do the same thing in Photoshop!
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!
I'd like to see this if you ever record yourself doing it.
I only edit in Lightroom, now I need to learn edit in photoshop. Great video!
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.
Well this just inspired me to go home and retouch up some photos.
Great to hear!
good work
Damn, fu*king good!
Thank you, Cheers!
Followed because of this video.
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.
Im a fan of the darker more realistic duck but tgats only my opinion, cheers
60% of the time, it works every time. but seriously, it works.
Yes 😄
Great video, awesome detail thank you. Can I ask on the Brushes... opacity, flow, etc used please? thanks
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?
nice!
Thanks!
Sometimes simple things make big differences
“Let’s transform some boring photos…” then proceeds to break out some killer images. 😂 Great tips though, thank you!
lol you are too kind! I will admit that the images were not the RAW form but completed to a stage where the two steps help them cross the finish line. Some images were composites too. I'm glad you thought the video had great tips, thank you for watching! Cheers
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!
Hi Matt, I think you're simulate the classical Teal&Orange concept. In C1 I created some presets for it. Very helpful!
Hi Matt Enjoyed this - only really use lightroom so will give it a try. As an aside - what monitor do you use?
I recently found the colour grading wheels in Lightroom, and promptly ruined all my golden hour shots by making the highlights and midtones very yellow/orange. I hadn't thought about adding blue to the shadows before, which would most likely help with balancing the colours in the highlights.
I am just starting out with pp . I have only used the software that comes free with the cameras before will this work in affinity photo ? . great video all the bells and whistles that come with photoshop etc is rather daunting to an amateur like me :) .
pretty cool, would thins work with portraits or family photos?
Amazing! Why weren't we taught this stuff in school...lol
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
Thanks for sharing! Just wonder why the Venice imaged you used in LR is a jpg?
Damn! Is that real?
Amazing! Thank you
Thank you! If you give it a try in Photoshop, be sure to set your brush to a low opacity and low flow instead of 100%. Slow and steady with practice 😁. Thanks for watching.
It works perfectly. This method is a game changer. Thank you@@MattShannonPhoto
@@coulibalyolivier8329 awesome, happy to hear it!
Do you vary/change the aspect ratio of each image based on final product? Or, do you just shoot at the default Z9 aspect ratio and crop later for final product?
After such processing, biologists will not be able to identify this bird. :)
How did you get the milky way visible with the gondola image?
I'm going to have to try this myself...I see that the opacity and flow are set to lower values..Cheers.
Yes, I move the opacity and flow from time to time to speed up my adjustments or slow them down. My pen is set to a certain strength too which changes the flow and opacity as well. Thanks for watching. I hope this helps!
How did you get this venice shot with a still boat and water surface but with the stars lookimg like milky way.
The Venice shot is a composite. I took multiple images and different shutter speeds and ISO settings. My goal was to show the two techniques I shared in the video so I had all the steps done prior. The file would have been huge too if I was working on the RAW images, so that is why all of the images were jpg for a faster workflow to share the two steps. I hope that makes sense, and thank you for watching. cheers!
Would you always use the same 2 colours for every image?
Great question, no I would not. Sometimes I use greens, especially for forests or grassy landscapes, sometimes magenta/purple for sunsets. Play around with it and see what works
How to change white and black in color fill, i cant find 😁😁... minutes 3:18
Only LR classic?
