    Pat, you're one of my favorite photography and editing RUclipsrs right now. Your stuff is so clean, clear, and just aligns with my photography philosophy. Love your educational series too. Keep up the good work and don't stop creating.

    12:14 This idea of pushing groups of color makes so much sense to me-I've never heard it put that way and it "clicked" all of a sudden. The color calibration video you did was awesome, btw.

    I'm new to Lightroom and this is one of the most clear and practical explanations I've seen yet. Thanks for making the whole editing process a bit less intimidating for us noobs! Also bought your Japan Photo Guide for a recent trip and found it to be an invaluable resource.

    Love your teaching style, discovering your channel is a revelation! Great to see you talking in an authentic natural voice, compared to some RUclipsrs who think they have to talk really fast and hyped up. Your style makes it easier to listen and learn from you, so thank you for sharing your knowledge!

    New to photography. An honest assessment from someone who is still scared shooting in full manual mode..... I felt this is by far the finest, the most comprehensive tutorial I have seen on RUclips that gave you a glimpse, an insight into what a professional is thinking when he starts his post production workflow.
    Absolutely loved this tutorial and would love to see more tutorials showing you doing different types of edits.

    I thought I was going to hate this video. Never have I been interested in photography....NEVER! Long story short, I am looking into grabbing the A7siii (wanted the FX3) and now interested in trying my hand at taking urban/street photography. Also, making an effort to learn how to edit (video/photo) in adobe looks fun, although, my start was on FCPX, but lacks photo editing in my opinion. Long video but learned a lot and well worth the watch. Keep up the great work!

    That was very cool, I think you did a good job explaining your thought process, and having it broken down in sections is useful. Videos on composition (I really like your use of negative space), color calibration and tone curves would be awesome. Would also love a video about lenses and how to play with focal lengths to achieve different feels (background compression for example).

I appreciate you going in depth explaining the calibration and HSL settings which have always been intimidating and something I simply avoid.
