What are your editing tips, especially for beginners?

[@ksnmurthy4476]

One of the greatest tutorials I have seen till today. The simplified and fully informative and illuminating. Thank you so much.

[@BandH]

Glad it was helpful!

This is the best video on photography that I have seen in two years of being a photographer. I use LRc and PS and love landscape shooting but I 'plateaued' and your video has changed that. Awesome!!! Liked, Subscribed and Bookmarked.

[@BandH]

thanks so much for the sub! hope you enjoyed the rest of the videos from this series.

[@runningwithscissors3280]

I am still reviewing this video and re-creating the lasso + layer mask portion of the video. THANK you for showing me where the, elusive to me, Camera Raw resides in PS.

1:55 This was taken with the polarizing filter in the "off" position, not full capacity. Remove the filter from the lens and the water reflection would basically look the same. It's not "enhancing the reflected light"! The polarizing filter is used to reduce reflections, which is what is happening at 2:04

[@thomastuorto9929]

I don't know, maybe I heard wrong. In the beginning if you look at the white-ish rocks to the right of the water pool, I believe the darker photo without the reflections is the photo using the polarizing filter, if at all.

Interesting; hasn't changed a great deal from when I used B&H to learn Lr3, 4, and 5, that I still use today.
But I would have removed that stick before taking the photo (if possible) or during the editing process --- would love to know why you left it in

[@scottandlindae3803]

Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed your presentation. Wish I could like this more times.

[@BandH]

Thank you!

[@ProEditingLooks]

This is fun lovely
I will make a tutorial like this thanks

[@JohnMacLeanPhotography]

I would’ve done as much as possible in Lr, opened each as Smart Object layers, put them together as layers in one file, layer masked, and then close it. That way I’m always working on raw data.

[@NakedInSeattle]

A great tutorial! And that branch on the left doesn't bother you?

[@tomgattiker3378]

Thxs for the LNT comments at the end

[@yevaz9955]

is it possible to take a collection of photos and add a "watermark" (of sorts) to them ?
for instance, i'm at an event, take 200 photos, and want to batch add a header with a logo at either side and text in the middle to the top of every photo - perhaps using a png image basically as an overlay ?

[@BandH]

In Photoshop:
Make sure your logo is black on a white background.
Size your logo to about 900 by 900 pixels.
Go to Edit > Define Brush Preset.
Name the watermark, and hit OK.
Open the Brush Preset Manager.
Drag the watermark brush to the top so it is always easily accessible.
To watermark an image, create a new layer, grab the brush tool, change it to the custom brush you just created, and click anywhere on the image where you want the watermark to appear. Feel free to experiment with different blending modes and opacity levels to fine tune your watermark. >Mark

First on this one. Thanks you for the vidoe

[@johnresto1603]

Who cares who is first. I'm second

[@edward8930]

@@johnresto1603 who doesn’t? I mean that’s what life is all about being the first to comment on a video? I truly aspire to make this my life goal forever. When I’m dead people will look back and say that’s the man right there. I’ll be up there with greats like Newton, Einstein, and Copernicus.

I see so many landscape photographers over editing photos.

Why the zoom at 16%? 😥
