I would love to learn a bit more about your experience in using APS-C cameras vs Full Frame cameras for wildlife. Some say that in newer 40MP FF bodies the cropping is better for subjects like birds, while others say the reach of APS-C bodies is better. I plan to acquire a gear setup for Bird photography and I would appreciate immensely the insights from your experience.
The tone curve adjustment is something I always go to in Lightroom! I would like to learn more about colour grading, calibration and the many masking options available.
I could unsubscribe to literally every other photographer I follow on here, with the plethora of useful tidbits and tutorials you provide. So happy I found this channel, and thank you for all the work you put into helping people learn new photography & editing tips!
Only a few minutes in and my (admittedly limited) knowledge of Lightroom has already improved. I usually just whack on some warmth, sharpness and contrast and call it a day. Enlightening to see that you take into account the very same things in Lightroom as you do out in the field i.e light direction, etc. Things I simply didn't think to replicate. As always Simon, an unrivaled communicator in all things photography. Great tips and inside info. Can't wait to get some of my new shots into Lightroom and apply what you show here. 10/10.
To add to the cacophony of praise for this video, I think this is one of the most useful videos on photo editing I've ever seen. I mostly do street photography but these techniques can be applied universally. You do a stellar job of explaining why you do something and exactly how to do it. I have not experimented with gradients much because it's uncharted territory, but you have inspired me to take more creative liberty with my photos. Thank you, Simon. This is, dare I say, masterful advice.
As much as I'm a purist, it is incredible how much and quick a photo can be improved with post processing software. I've got so many photos which are special because of situation and/or composition, but don't look good because of exposure and light problems. Time to learn post processing!
This has to be one of the best tutorials i have seen on RUclips! Instructions are super clear and you explain everything so well. I love that you explain all your reasoning for what you are doing to the image! Thank you for your hard work on this video!!
As someone who's spending a lot of time learning Lightroom, I just wanted to say thank you! Your tutorials are incredible for beginners and you clearly have a passion for teaching others!
Thanks for this video, I’ve been shooting for 6 years and there aren’t many experts out there who give such specific and useful tips that are only learnt through experience. Most RUclipsrs only share basic strategies. And you make it all so simple. Kudos to you sir! Subscribed, and keep it up!
19:53 WHAAATT I would've never realized it was that small of a structure it you hadn't said anything. Thank you for this tutorial! Ive been using techniques like this for a few of my last photos but this gave me a much clearer understanding of them. THANK YOU‼️‼️
I'm using Lightroom for quite some time now, but your "sandwich" technique with background only selection was something new that I tried on a few shots edited earlier and it instantly made an impact. Thanks for the guidance and for sharing your experience.
I have only recently discovered your channel, and I have been binge-watching! I love your teaching style and find the information you provide extremely useful to my photography and processing. Thank you so much.
OMG, thank you so much for making this video. These were the MOST useful minutes of photography instruction I've had so far. I did my training way back in the days of film, haha. I have recently begun to learn digital photography and use LRC. This video helped my editing more than I can express. I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Thanks for the time you put into helping us newbies--I think I can speak for all of us when I say that you ROCK! I look forward to more "to-the-point", excellently explained videos.
Thank you for your amazing tutorial!! I’ve been shooting professionally since 2009 and your videos are some of the best tutorials out there. I also appreciate your positively and encouragement!
It will take several viewings plus note-taking plus experimentation with my own files to fully assimilate and integrate these editing techniques -but, as usual, Simon d'E. offers at no cost a worthwhile lesson in photo editing. Merci BCP, Monsieur …
I CANNOT believe how simple this is. I’m not kidding. When I was trying my hand at photography for the first time about 6 years ago I liked doing long exposure beach photography. I had an immediate instinct for setting up interesting shots. But I noticed how flat the photos came out, and it didn’t look like that in real life. I knew I had to edit. But then also discovered(the hard way)how easy it is to OVER-edit a photo, and the human eye can tell when something looks over-edited and unnatural. I never figured out what I was doing wrong, and, regrettably, sadly, gave up on photography in frustration. Recently I’ve been getting the itch to go back out and try again, having picked up Birding as a hobby(obsession). And seeing this video and how UNBELIEVABLE your photos look with just 2-3 quick and well-placed edits has convinced me. Think I’m going to try again 😉 Well done, sir!
tip: instead of dodging and burning piece by piece when it is too much to do you can use gradient filter on whole photo, select range mask to luminosity option on it and slide that right tick to left for selecting only darks or right tick on slider to the left for selecting only lights. apply exposure down or up depending if you want shadows more dark or light parts to brighten.use O to show you the mask. if you slide smoothnes slider to 20 fx, it wil only apply more selectively on what you need to adjust not the whole gradient.
Excellent! There are many great videos on RUclips showing various workflows in LR, but most of them whilst producing fantastic results, are very long-winded. What cannot be underestimated here is you've created a beautiful end result, but very quickly and efficiently without unnecessary complexity and confusion! As with most things, those who are very talented and skilled at something make it look deceptively easy, but your eloquence, skill and relatable delivery inspire others to give things a try.
Thanks! Now I understand what's missing in my photos. It's not just about composition, focus and sharpness. To me its even just 50%. Because what you just did in the video adds another 50% and make these photos really stand out. Amazing. I just don't have this vision. Don't know how I want my normal photos to look.
A man who sees photo editing as I do, well done. Your editing pretty much mirrors my own which I believe makes the images look so natural rather than unnatural as so many photographers on RUclips seem to do these days. Keep up the great work. 👌👍
The tip about darkening the shadow areas was fantastic! Sometimes, as amateurs, we overlook the finer details that make significant improvements. The "shaping" that this created in your image was just incredible. Thanks again Simon!
I was impressed how well lightroom processes photos, and how accurate automatic tools are, but now I'm mindblown about features and all the possibilities. This might not be the most popular content on your cannel, but I find image processing guides very useful. Great work!
Awesome video as always! As someone still learning, your videos are the best at explaining everything but not overexplaining it or losing the point throughout the video. Thank you and keep it up!
Simon, I want to thank you for making these lightroom videos. You make me want to learn how to really use the program for more than just basic editing. I don't do a whole lot with lightroom other than basic editing. In the past I always edited my photos, and then deleted the RAW photos, unless they were of images that mean a lot to me, like pictures of my family. But I've decided to begin keeping all of my usable RAW images just to use as practice photos.
'remember this is your art'. I like that comment as we seem to be bound by what other do or think of your pictures. This is your creation and your art! Thanks Simon, that just reinforced my confidence.
Rather than subtract from a mask, I tend to use the intersect feature to fine tune a mask. The intersect feature works well when intersecting with a luminance range to specify the highlights or lowlights in a region.
For sure. Nigel Danson showed the gradient + intersect a luminance range in one of his videos and I have found that to be such a transformative tool in my editing kit
One of the best Tutorials on editing photos in LR (or any other software with similiar functions and workflows) i have seen so far. Thank you so much Simon for helping us to grow!
Great video again. I sometimes like to add a subtle background glow by adding a radial gradient over the object (bird possibly) then subtract the object and then raise exposure slightly. Gives the effect of a slight light behind the object.
Great tips Simon! Something that I do is reduce contrast to brighten areas, in conjunction with raising highlights and whites, especially when I'm "adding sunlight".
This is one of the most helpful videos on lightroom editing that I've ever come across. Simple, helpful tips that really make the photos pop! And no Photoshop needed. Thank you Simon!
Simon you are a master of techniques. What you do that no one else seems to do is explain why. For novices "why" is just as important. As for future videos I think techniques (post production or in camera) would be something I would like to see. Thanks for doing this amazing video.
Excellent, if you right click on the mask you can invert and duplicate it. It works well on radial gradients. More tips please. The post processing is as important as taking the photo.
I could watch hours of this kind of tutorial. I lack vision…all the technical technique in the world is useless without vision. This is so helpful! Thanks!
Some great ideas here Simon. I use the intersect option with either a brush or gradients on my masks a lot. It's particularly useful with selecting the subject and then intersect with the brush. You just then paint on where you want your adjustment and it doesn't spill out into the background.
Thanks for the video. These methods are so simple yet HUGE on how they impact a dull photo. I am an American that lives in Germany, and while there are many great things to photograph, there are also many dark grey days. This video was exactly what I needed to see. Thanks.
this video is incredible. One of the best tutorials I've ever seen - the tips were great and your explanations/camera presence made it very easy to learn. Well done, and thank you!
Thank you for sharing. One of the best videos I've seen, because you are more on the "why" as on the "how" without loosing the "cookbook" approach. Great!
I think this is a really great tutorial. I've seen a lot of nature and landscape photographers do some very heavy handed lightroom work and yours definitely is more of 'enhancing realism' as opposed to just 'a big flashy landscape'. Both are totally valid and I like both!
Simon, I just got my second-hand EF 600mm f/4 IS, and I can't wait to go out and try some of your birding techniques. (The place I bought it from somehow didn't realize it was the IS model and priced it accordingly!) Thanks again for all your awesome videos, AND, for being the best RUclips presenter there is, in terms of your delivery, quick pacing, no-BS padding your time with extra fluff, etc. Truly appreciate your style.
Right before you performed the technique, I would be saying it out loud. But it blew my mind that I never thought of doing this until you said it. Thank you so much!
Thank you. Clear and not intensely complicated. I've seen too many people making videos where it seems like they are brushing countless little areas and layers upon layers of masking until it's hard to keep track of all they did. These examples show using gradients and masking that are quick and relatively simple. Even the use of the brush tool in the bonus tip was simple and made sense. I'm inspired to go back and work on some images using these techniques. I've used Lightroom for a while, but I am not a fluent expert in it. This is a big help. So, again. Thank you.
Great value in digestable chunks that reinforce not just skills but thinking about how to apply those skills in our own work. Terrific teacher! Well done!
Didn't expect these amazing results from such simple changes applied to the photo. It shows how much skill and experience has to do with work you're doing rather than complex tools and techniques. Please post mkre of these. Thank you
Mind truly 'Blown' here Simon. I have watched several mainstream PS and LR RUclips presenters cover this subject but, without any exception, this video is the best I have seen on this subject. Your 'delivery' here is superb and I can't thank you enough for clearing a lot of 'muddy water' for me!
Thank you so much for posting something like this. I think this is going to help me look at my editing differently and really upgrade my work. Thank you again!
I've never taken a photo with intent before I found your RUclips channel. Thank you so much for what you do. I wish I found your channel and photography years ago.
This is the first truly useful video I've seen on using Lightroom. Other videos just go through obvious features of the program, on this one I actually learned applicable techniques and principles. Thank you.
Thank you so much on this video tutorial. I normally use Adobe photoshop but Lightroom and the tutorial you taught is PHENOMENAL. I used a few of your steps and I made my canon r100 pictures look so much better!
I’ve watched many LRC tips videos and this is one of the best…..concise and specific. I will watch it again and again to hone my post processing skills. Thank you!
This is like magic! Incredible the difference it makes, thank you. I don’t have software that can do many of those techniques- yet! It’s annoying that you can’t just purchase rather than having to subscribe but unfortunately that’s the way many software is now.
For the longest time I've been avoiding properly editing in lightroom because I didn't know where to start. Thank you for the amazing tutorials and tips as always!
Thank you for sharing! I am just learning Lightroom through some lessons in a light room course. It is an amazing application, and the masking tools are superb.
I love your videos...they've helped me so much...especially this latest series on ISO - I now get so many more usable photos when I'm out hiking. Thank you!
Really excellent, Simon. At certain moments in your editing, not only did I learn something but smiled really hard as the images popped into life. Wonderful! Thank you.
I was just browsing RUclips and started to watch your video, I opened Lightroom to try to use some of your techniques and WOW, what a huge difference! Thanks!
What are your go-to features in Lightroom? What features would you like to see in educational content in a future video?
I would love to learn a bit more about your experience in using APS-C cameras vs Full Frame cameras for wildlife. Some say that in newer 40MP FF bodies the cropping is better for subjects like birds, while others say the reach of APS-C bodies is better.
I plan to acquire a gear setup for Bird photography and I would appreciate immensely the insights from your experience.
I have watched many Lightroom videos but you always seem to pull the rabbit out of the hat so go ahead and surprise me again.
How about editing with the tone curve?
I use luminance range a lot
The tone curve adjustment is something I always go to in Lightroom! I would like to learn more about colour grading, calibration and the many masking options available.
Some people hide facts, and give only for likes and views. But this man, gives everything he knows to us like how a Dad teaches his sons ❤
Totally agree, Good job Simon!!
I recently find this channel and i absolutely agree with that are you saying!! This guy is awesome
Bro, this man give me a courage to use higher iso... And its mean a lot for me, as i a budget photographer...
I love it here!!
Really like how this guy show the info!
Now that's what I call a useful example on how to use lightroom for a beginner like me. Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
This man is so damn good at break down complex things into simple easy to understands points of view. Best photo tip channel on YT
I could unsubscribe to literally every other photographer I follow on here, with the plethora of useful tidbits and tutorials you provide. So happy I found this channel, and thank you for all the work you put into helping people learn new photography & editing tips!
Too kind!
I have thought the same thing
You are not just a skilled photographer, but you are also a professional teacher
Wish you were my teacher in school, cuz you got such a talent to explain simple and clear....
You got a talent!❤❤❤
One of the best Lightroom tutorials I've watched thus far. Thank you.

You are very welcome

You're a superb teacher. Not only have I been learning while watching your videos, I've been getting excited about photography. Thank you, sir.
I've been discouraged about my photos looking flat. You've given me hope and a path toward success. Bless you Sir!
@simon_dentremont the key phrase you said here was, "there's no right or wrong, it's your art." Very true. Don't get lost in perfection.
19:53 WHAAATT I would've never realized it was that small of a structure it you hadn't said anything. Thank you for this tutorial! Ive been using techniques like this for a few of my last photos but this gave me a much clearer understanding of them. THANK YOU‼️‼️

This... is probably THE most creatively changing (life changing) video I have seen. Thank you Simon!!!! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
This is the most useful and perfectly explained editing video I’ve seen in ages! Thanks!
When you increased the clarity of the ripples that blew my mind. I never thought of being able to get those details back before. Amazing video!
The tip about darkening the shadow areas was fantastic! Sometimes, as amateurs, we overlook the finer details that make significant improvements. The "shaping" that this created in your image was just incredible.
Thanks again Simon!

You're very welcome!
Awesome video as always! As someone still learning, your videos are the best at explaining everything but not overexplaining it or losing the point throughout the video.
Thank you and keep it up!
This is the best video on RUclips about color correction in lighting room! Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤

Luminance range for the win too. Only thing I'd say differently. This is an excellent video
@@chichechich99 Do you have a link for that video?
One of the best Tutorials on editing photos in LR (or any other software with similiar functions and workflows) i have seen so far. Thank you so much Simon for helping us to grow!
Thank you Simon. All of this for free, you're amazing!
My pleasure!
After using Lightroom for years, I still learned great tips from this video today. One example is the 'sandwich' technique! Thanks so much Simon!

As for future videos I think techniques (post production or in camera) would be something I would like to see. Thanks for doing this amazing video.
Wow, thanks
This is one of the very few actually useful editing videos on RUclips. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow, thank you!
Excellent, if you right click on the mask you can invert and duplicate it. It works well on radial gradients.
More tips please. The post processing is as important as taking the photo.

Even your free ebook is better than most paid material around RUclips. Again, congrats for the work.
Wow, thank you!
Thanks for the video. These methods are so simple yet HUGE on how they impact a dull photo. I am an American that lives in Germany, and while there are many great things to photograph, there are also many dark grey days. This video was exactly what I needed to see. Thanks.
More like these, please! Thanks
You got it!
this video is incredible. One of the best tutorials I've ever seen - the tips were great and your explanations/camera presence made it very easy to learn. Well done, and thank you!

Thank you for sharing. One of the best videos I've seen, because you are more on the "why" as on the "how" without loosing the "cookbook" approach. Great!
Me watching him using fancy tools with ohhhand ahhh but i only have the free version😂
I think this is a really great tutorial. I've seen a lot of nature and landscape photographers do some very heavy handed lightroom work and yours definitely is more of 'enhancing realism' as opposed to just 'a big flashy landscape'. Both are totally valid and I like both!
This is one of the best made „how to“ Lr videos i have ever seen. I really love this channel. 🙏🏻
Simon, I just got my second-hand EF 600mm f/4 IS, and I can't wait to go out and try some of your birding techniques. (The place I bought it from somehow didn't realize it was the IS model and priced it accordingly!) Thanks again for all your awesome videos, AND, for being the best RUclips presenter there is, in terms of your delivery, quick pacing, no-BS padding your time with extra fluff, etc. Truly appreciate your style.
Sounds great!
Right before you performed the technique, I would be saying it out loud. But it blew my mind that I never thought of doing this until you said it. Thank you so much!

Mind truly 'Blown' here Simon.

Glad it was helpful!
This is a fantastic video! You not only show us how, but also explain the why. Thank you so much!!
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much for posting something like this. I think this is going to help me look at my editing differently and really upgrade my work. Thank you again!
Thank you Simon! I don't focus on wildlife but these tips are gold for virtually any kind of photography! THANK YOU
Glad it was helpful!
This man is just heaven sent. That's all I can say to describe him. Thank you so much.
I've never taken a photo with intent before I found your RUclips channel. Thank you so much for what you do. I wish I found your channel and photography years ago.
You are so welcome!
Now I know more about the features of Lightroom and about light because photography is about capturing the light but you explain in detail
I appreciate how you make you "lab learning" courses short and to the point. I'll be able to fo a lot with what ive learned from you today.
Some of the best education on RUclips. Thank you for all your efforts
You have my respect sir, hands down thee best tutorial I have watched in years.
Wow, thanks!
This is the first truly useful video I've seen on using Lightroom. Other videos just go through obvious features of the program, on this one I actually learned applicable techniques and principles. Thank you.

I've watched a number of your videos. This is my favorite so far. Please keep up the good work.
Glad you like them!
I'm now a subscriber. This is a perfect example of how to teach. Well done Simon! Please keep it up.
Awesome, thank you!
I’ve watched many LRC tips videos and this is one of the best…..concise and specific. I will watch it again and again to hone my post processing skills. Thank you!

A question I constantly struggle with is “What does a good image look like?” This is just outstanding! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Simon you are a gem! I’ve learned so much in this video alone!🙌🏾
I've seen some of your videos and i like them a lot, but this one just shows that you are a master.
Keep up the good work!
Glad you like them!
I love your videos...they've helped me so much...especially this latest series on ISO - I now get so many more usable photos when I'm out hiking. Thank you!
Simon, thanks for sharing these simple light room editing tips.

Really excellent, Simon. At certain moments in your editing, not only did I learn something but smiled really hard as the images popped into life. Wonderful! Thank you.
I keep watching this video time and time again as it teaches me a lot with regards to lightroom 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Another great demonstration of just how much changing subtle details can greatly improve image quality and impact!
Glad you liked it!
