Oh em gee, THANK YOU, this video helped to use these masking tools better, I was using them but I wasn’t doing the right way, now I know little bit more. Thanks for always sharing great information. 😊😊😊😊 GRACIAS 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for video. One tip: when editing, I first choose the subject mask (as you did), subtract/add as necessary, and make modifications. Next, I chose subject again, then invert and add/subtract as necessary to modify everything else. That second step let’s me soften the background by reducing texture, clarity, sharpness, and even saturation, and then apply a strong noise reduction, making the subject pop. Gradients as necessary, then off to Photoshop for cleanup, scale (on macro shots), text if needed, signature if desired. BTW - with college-aged grandchildren, it’s nice to see your detailed planning for your future. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, I more so was just wanting to use a variety of filters there to show how you could achieve similar things with different filters. I could’ve shown how to subtract the branch though, that would’ve been helpful to viewers as well. Thanks for the comment!
Hi there good video some great tips, I know photo edits is very subjective what looks good to one photographer may not may not be liked by another photographer it's personal choice, I know it was a quick video but do you prefer the Adobe profile over the Canon profiles? I noticed you didn't change this, it's just that a lot of people have been moaning about the Adobe profiles and were virtually begging Canon to hurry up releasing them for Lightroom and Photoshop for the new Canon cameras.
Hi, thank you I appreciate that! I prefer Canon profiles, much better colors and contrast, but I got so used to processing photos with Adobe profiles back before I knew much about Lightroom that I still forget to change it sometimes. At this point, I’m used to processing photos to fit my taste with Adobe profiles, so it doesn’t change the outcome much even if I do switch over to Canon because I have the same style I’m going for either way. But yes, I prefer the Canon profiles as well, and in hindsight should’ve switched over to them for the quick edits done in this video. Thanks for watching!

You can use subtract & take the branch out of subject select with a brush

Take me to Alaska
Yo Evan - Do you use Topaz in your workflow?
Yes I use Denoise pretty often, but I haven’t played with Sharpen or Gigapixel much yet.
