Photoshop and Lightroom are both very good programs and I would recommend getting both if you don't have them already. The things you can do in Lightroom you can also do in Photoshop, but I find that Lightroom is a lot more organized, faster, more efficient, and easier to use for correcting things like exposure, white balance, etc.
Thank you for this video, these are the type of clips I love when you post. Quick question. Why dont u reduce the noise in camera raw filter? they have that option below sharpness, I always use it and get great results, never dissapointed. Just a more simple version I think.
lintownboy Great question! I am a bit gun shy about using the ACR noise reduction because I've found it can often lead to a reduction of fine detail. In my experience so far I've found the 3rd party plugins to be better about cleaning up noise while maintaining detail. But there's no question that Adobe is constantly improving their raw processing engine and soon I'm sure the noise reduction will be top notch.
Professional Photography Tips Im using camera raw in the latest version of photoshop CC, are you sure that even a top notch program like that removes detail that much? In that case i will stop using it :(
Dawid Bober Cheers, David. To get that glossy look on the water you need two things: 1) First, you need to have a very calm day. This is the most important part! Because it lets the good reflections form in the water's surface. Then to bring out the reflection in an image like this you just need to brighten it in post. Hope that helps.
nice quick vid. i've never used the targeted adjustment tool. i'll have to give that a try. i personally tend to use levels more than i use curves. whats your reasoning for using curves more? not saying my method is better. it may very well NOT be. just wanting to see your thinking on it.
Steven Davis Hey Steve, I like using Curves because it's like Levels on steroids: not only can you change the black, white, and mid points, but also all the other tonal ranges as well. It's also a good way to add contrast without changing the black and white points, so you're not clipping shadow or highlight detail.
Mejed Ksa makes a good point. Also, I'm new to photography, but can't you do most of what you did in Lightroom? Either thanks for the great videos Josh! you're upbeat unlike other photographers on youtube ;)
Paul Padilla and Majed Ksa, yes, you can do almost all of this in Lightroom. I use Photoshop mostly because that's what I've been using for years and years. But in the near future I will be doing LR tutes as well. Thanks for watching!
+Professional Photography Tips why do you use photoshop as opposed to light room; are the features like burning/dodging only available in photoshop? If I were to purchase only lightroom+camera raw, would that be a feasible option?
Why not doing your dodge and burn inside of Lightroom or CR? Using a soft +/- exposure brush with a low flow. You can create the exact same effect and this way you won't make any change to the actual pixels and you'll create less noise when you're bringing the exposure up (burning).
Olivier Maes Hey Olivier, good question. The reason I do the D&B this way is that I want to selectively dodge the brightest pixels more. When you use an exposure brush in raw in brightens everything, which can lead to haloing and/or a washed-out look. Using the 50% gray layer with the apply image mask prevents these issues. And since it's a separate layer there's still no risk to the actual pixels.
never felt the need to shoot in raw, besides that it makes files larger and slows the Pc. But still, my images using a tamron 18-270m on a Canon 70d look very blury, not so sharp like yours... :/ thanks for the tutorial
nice just a question how to get that burn and dodge layer? so fast as you did i know only for that 5o % gray layer what is it you do here where too klick and where to find that burn and dogde layer? could you explain to me plz
Owen Auer Lightroom is a very popular alternative. There's also a free program called GIMP that supports layers and lots of different tools but I've never personally used it so I can't speak to how good it is. Oh, and BTW, Photoshop is now available for $10/month on the Creative Cloud plan.
Joshua burn and dodge tool shortcut is made with 50% saturation? adobe cs 6 does not exist. adobe cc feature of a meal? You've told us there fast. Thank you for the beautiful presentation and techniques.
Chris Adval Very little difference between ACR and LR. In fact they use the same processing engine. LR has an advantage in that it includes lots of cataloging and organizational tools, as well as easy syncing between raw files. It also has a radial filter for adjustments, and infinite history states. ACR's main advantage is that it's included with Photoshop so it means you don't have to buy another piece of software. But since they're now bundled together on the CC plan there's less reason to only use ACR.
Dude the video is kinda cool but please make a video or catch a picture that is kinda more realistic, only exposure would have done it for me,, it's kinda too much editing, i dont see photography that way,, it's kinda too easy to take a picture like,, if only i had a camera i believe id take a better picture with a camera. But all and all not bad,, actually awesome pic!!
Dude, you are amazing but you talk too fast haha I'm a bilingual person, my native lenguage is Spanish and I tried to follow you in this video, I understood at least a 60% of everything you said HAHA OMG Thanks for this, help me a lot
Dave Yuhas Very true, Dave. Even though I didn't state it explicitly in the video, my goal in photography and processing is not necessarily to recreate the scene exactly how it looked, but rather to give my interpretation of what I noticed about a scene, what caught my eye, and what I want the viewer to see and feel.
Most entertaining tutorial I've seen in a long time.

Good jop josh, But I was wandering why you don't use LightRoom instead of Photoshop ?
Majed Ksa what's the difference and which of the is good?

The things you can do in Lightroom you can also do in Photoshop, but I find that Lightroom is a lot more organized, faster, more efficient, and easier to use for correcting things like exposure, white balance, etc.

Lee Fox Hey Lee, I set up a custom keyboard shortcut in Photoshop that runs an action to create the layer for me.
me gusta tu espanol amigo
Apart of the ACR editing, is it also possible to do the whole editing process in Lightroom ?
+Tiffany Pag I think everything he did here can be done in Lightroom, just not in the exact same way.

Little bit of vibration ..
Do you work at a radio station? jockey?
I couldn't help noticing you never said anything about what the scene actually looked liked.
Dave Yuhas Very true, Dave.
