This is one of the real masters of photography that we have online. Love his work. There are around 5 of them that I know. The rest of the guys are cowboys in my humble opinion. This man here is a master.
This was so great! Short, clear, direct, engaging, visual example was clear, info was just what I wanted to know, 10/10 Thank you, & thank you for the funny ending!
When you're using the brush, once you create a brush stroke group and get the "+" on your pointer without the gray circle around it, you can click escape to crate more brush stroke groups. This way you can move and edit them independently of each other

Serge Ramelli Photography 1. It depends. I use portrait if I need the height, landscape if I don't. Also, I mostly use primes, and that can affect my vertical coverage.
Mikheil Ghvinianidze actually, most cameras, including film SLRs, are 3:2 (36x24 mm). If the 24mm side is enough to capture the height, then shoot landscape mode. Switching to portrait captures unwanted pixels, creates bigger files and more work.
Didn't know you could do tone/color shifting using Camera Calibration. Great tip. Oh and about the black point. First you set it carefully and then you add quite some contrast pushing many more pixels into absolute blackness. Maybe it makes sense to check (or even set) your black and white levels after adding contrast.
Very good ,thanks Serge.Off to Paris next week and I'am going to use your tips on where to shoot. That was very nice of you to pinpoint on Google maps the locations. Merci !!!
I was taught that you should shoot panos in portrait mode as you move the worst of the lens distortion to the edges of the photo rather than in the middle. Also looks like you've not updated Lightroom as the calibration mode is in first panel now. Some good tips though ! I've learnt so much from your process.
Awesome video. I am somewhat of a beginner, so these more detailed tips aside from just sliding levels up and down is always appreciated. Thanks! I see most editing videos start with an underexposed shot. Is this a "rule-of-thumb" of sorts when making edits; take a low ISO shot?
Exactly! And you get a higher final resolution, so you can print bigger and/or crop more. With the speed of merging, fewer frames doesn't really help much.
i find when i do vertical panos, the distortion of often so severe and i have to crop out so much from the edges that i end up not even getting all of the scene i wanted. any tips?
Enoch: depends on the general range to your subject. When it is relatively close (read, within a 100m or so), you need to zoom in with the lens for the outer shots. Otherwise when stitching, you will end up with really stretched images for the endframes, or crop out too much in the middle.
This is a very good point but you can get photos as tall as you want by stacking your panoramas both vertically and horizontally, i.e. side to side and up and down. You can merge together like 10 or even more images!
What about using a graduated neutral density filter to lighten up the foreground with a longer exposure ? This would avoid a lot of noise. Good video though !!
I think I'm following your channel for five years now and I still like it, but I must say it's more or less the same all the time. There's really a whole lot more about photography than sliders in Lightroom. I think it would help your RUclips channel a lot, if you were adding some photography related content like how to prepare landscape shots, when to go out, how to realise if the weather is worth a shot, composition, colours, etc... From your pictures I can see that you know a lot about all these things. Maybe it would help your personal development to challenge yourself more. I hope you understand that my critique is not personal. I really like you and I learned a lot from you. Maybe this channel is just a marketing thing. I don't know much about that. But I really think life is about moving on.
I hadn't visited Serge's channel for about a year. Came back to see this and it is EXACTLY the same as before. What you have to understand about Serge, if you haven't already, is that he ONLY wants to sell his guides. That's the only thing he does and he's reall obnoxious about it.
Same agree, I used to use his tutorials about 4 years ago and he definitely helped me out at the start which is why I am still subscribed but there was a point when he started to try and sell his online guides that it became annoying when so many other youtubers and now instagrammers do it without the fake salesman pitch for idiots. Serge is great for amateurs
i agree too, i watched almost all his videos...i like them a lot , but apart from the camera calibration everything he wished he knew i know he already did!
You should shoot panoramas in portrait mode because you get a taller image and a MUCH larger resolution. And I don’t think you should use negative clarity on landscapes because they are not sharpened if shooting raw so you are making things unnatural. Unless your shooting JPEG and they got over sharpened in camera.
Nice tips, thanks. I am however missing one last tip with the editing of this panaroma. Can you also show us how to get rid of that halo around the roof of the building?
I think the general rule is to protect the highlights so it makes sense to underexpose a little because it is much easier to get the details back out of the shadows.
hi, as you can see in my logo... i shoot A LOT of panorama... i dont agree with your panorama tip since you're only sacrificing vertical FOV and quality... usually you take panoramas to grab more FOV and, making it landscape you'll get a "photo strip" instead of a simulation of a photo using a wider lens. Best regards
and dont confuse people with the projections menu... each one does one thing... if you want a straight horizon you can rotate the photo afterwards or start by taking the source pictures right... :) ... still... panorama mode in LR was added not long ago and i guess i started editing before this... still waiting for it.
Awesome tutorial. Question. I have about 400,00 pictures organized by year and month on my hard drive(s), all backed up. I was actually using Picasa to organize (but not edit). I have been urged to use Lightroom on my Mac.. but importing is SUPER slow... and then opening up any file is super slow, even though I have a 2017 iMac with tons of Ram. It has been suggested that I use smaller catalogs.. but then I don't have access to everything if I search. Second, I used the face recognition on Picasa. Face recognition is amazingly slow on Lightroom and terribly inaccurate. But I use it all the time to retrieve photos. Google photos does it but over a certain number of pics (and I exceed), it stops facial recognition. Am I doing something wrong with Lightroom or is there a standalone program for facial recognition? Help me with these issues. Thanks
Did it the other way around... first saw what I could make from the raw files first, then whatched the vid. When I did it, I explicitly went back and dailed down my original saturation a bit. Then looking at your result, it looks like my first instinct where only about 70-80 percent of your final. Plus: forground way to dark. But art is always about taste. And usefull tips in this vid for sure !!! Thanks. Wish their was a way to have like a little comparism of the results ppl come up with....
WARP!! It's W A R P not wrap!! Seriously though, you have great tutorials and have inspired me with your 'circles of light' :-) (And I bought your presets!)

Merci pour tes conseils Serge !
Le rendu final est superbe, simple et naturel.

you know what? I think you are the master of lightroom.. great job!
Nice, but when Shooting Panorama Portrait mode will give you more pixels. Not match but more, because usually sensors are approximately 4:3 ration.
Mikheil Ghvinianidze actually, most cameras, including film SLRs, are 3:2 (36x24 mm). If the 24mm side is enough to capture the height, then shoot landscape mode. Switching to portrait captures unwanted pixels, creates bigger files and more work.
Serge Ramelli Photography all of the are wonderful tips
Amazing work sir
Thank you very much!
I enjoyed it alot please let me know which version one can use as lightroom with i3 processor
Great video and useful tips, Thanks.
Awesome.. thanks a lot Serge

awesome trick its a big help
Merci
This are good tips!
good job love it
thanks sir! it helps alot
Awesome so happy to hear
This was really cool
Very helpful thank you!
Great tips, thank you!
You are such an amazing person with an admirable skill set. I'm learning so much from your videos. Cheers from a huge fan from Denmark
Oh wow thank you so very much!! :-)
Amazing.
The advantage of shooting panoramas in portrait mode is that you get a taller image.
Exactly! And you get a higher final resolution, so you can print bigger and/or crop more. With the speed of merging, fewer frames doesn't really help much.
You are right, but I find myself doing it less and less

True! Thanks !! :-)
Thank you. I learned some good tips.
Love your tutorials
great content!!!
Very nice vieo!
Thank you!!
I use your technique of radial filter 'bulb' all the time but I also add a little denoise :)
This was awesome. You just got a new subscriber
La vidéo est super !
Mercii

I totlay get it and Im working on more live shoots coming up soon
i agree too, i watched almost all his videos...i like them a lot , but apart from the camera calibration everything he wished he knew i know he already did!
what the command sir or control during your duplicate, and what again control or command to return to regular cursor?
That was cool, thank you Serge!
شكرا جزيلا علي المعلومات القيمه 🙋
Wow 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
When you are adjusting the blacks and whites, how do you get these nearly white and nearly black views as at 2:41 ?
thank you Serge!!
Thank you!
Like! for the clearly time tagged description. Ty Sir!
do you use lightroom 6 standalone license or the monthly photography subscription plan?

awesome
Please suggest how to click multiple pictures to make it panorama. If any tutorial you made it on this.. do share the link... thanks in advance :)
Awesome tutorial!
great
ahahaha you are great man ! merci et aurevoir :p
😂😂😂 You are great and funny. Thanks for all your videos and your knowledge sharing. I wish I will meet you some day. Big hug 🤗
Top super tuto
this is the best thing i needed to know thank you
Great information Serge. Thank you for sharing.
amazing, man, i love it!
Nice tips, thanks. I am however missing one last tip with the editing of this panaroma.
Can you also show us how to get rid of that halo around the roof of the building?
Liked, Subscribed, commented and recommended !
You are too nice :-)
Lightroom is very easy to use after a watching a few free tutorials online. Jeez I forgot how saturated and hdr you make all of your images.
Merci beaucoup !! U got your like!!!
I learned so much from you
Thank you sir , Love from India❤
Great vid as always. Do you always make sure that you underexposed the buildings so that you have room to work with shadows?
I think the general rule is to protect the highlights so it makes sense to underexpose a little because it is much easier to get the details back out of the shadows.
Yes he does.
Thanks for the reply guys.
This is common knowledge for every Lightroom user. It's like I WISH I knew this (Gear shifting) when I started driving...
Awesome tips especially the radial filter use.
Amazing ❣️ Brasil 🇧🇷

Lol, hilarious ending like "this is a top secret and I'll tell you only once". Serge from Resistance :)

tu devrais mettre un warning au début pour les épileptiques, j'ai failli gober ma langue quand t'as touché à la saturation.
I logged in

smart
por favor para cuando habilitan los subtitulos en español d este canal????
Editing seems way over the top for my taste, good tips nonetheless
Do you, the photography master, have to mention Paris all the time?
Yes I am very proud of my city
Cool! :D
at 3:28 i dont find cloudy filter in my lightroom. how can i add this filter. thanks
You need to get some presets
You’re not limited to just one set of brush adjustments so the “problem” of dragging them all around and needing to use circle masks doesn’t exist.
Some serious halo in that roof line, it's too procesed
OMG..Omg... by the end u made the Vampires unhappy by removing the darkness and popping up the sun... Quickly undo or Reset and u'll be restored... :D
The second he said vuala I liked😂
Why would you shoot panorama's in portrait mode? You get less resolution overall.
Does using the latest Lightroom 7.3 affect any of your tips?
David Lee no, i use the new one and everything has stayed the same basically
you should change the profile Adobe Photoshop to your camera`s profile first of all... )
Awesome, I'm off to Faroe Islands and to Alsace area. Hope to do some great post editing like this.
I can't download the file
Thanks for the tutorial
You really made me laugh at the end :D
Give more and more #Lighrtoom Tutorial
Serge, I like the drama!!! ;)
Why do you underexpose so much in camera? You're going to get way more noise in the shadows
Hey Serge, its "Boundary Warp", not boundary WRAP. Otherwise, thanks for the tips.
I love it when youtubers wave their hands and point at invisible stuff saying "you can click here".
I'm shocked with the first tip LOL.
Your my favorite Americzn French photographer thank you for sharing those tips. 2X thumb up
omg how do you know so much
WARP!! It's W A R P not wrap!!
Seriously though, you have great tutorials and have inspired me with your 'circles of light' :-) (And I bought your presets!)
