"Dr Seuss book" = too funny! I kept thinking all the way through this video, hmm, very subtle adjustments and I'm not sure I even see them. Then at the end, the Before vs After blew me away. That's not subtle! That's beautiful! And all those subtle adjustments dynamited into a completely different rendering of the original. Nicely done and thanks for surprising me.
Nice job, Jim. Nearly everything you did here applies to those of us that shoot seaside photos. Lots of rocks (HDR filter), long exposures and adding blue to the scene. There is nearly nothing that ON1 can’t do. Thanks again.
Thanks Ted ad yep makes sense this would translate to seaside shots too. I love shooting the coastline, esp in Oregon (my favorite state). Always something interesting!
I have an idea for a future video. As I was watching this video, I realized that I have a lot of waterfall photos I took during travels. I organized my photos by date and location, but put specific types of photos, such as waterfalls in albums. However, not that I am learning a lot about ON1, I am thinking it would be better to add a keyword and used the Advanced Search to find my photos. The keywords will remain with the photo when I export it so they show up in SmugMug and other packages that support metadata (not too sure how Luminar AI will handle this). I would like to get you thoughts on this... maybe you could do a video on keywords vs. albums (an other ways to classify photos if you have ideas). Thank you.
Hi Mark and thanks for the suggestion. I really haven't gotten too deep into the organizational components of On1 yet. I generally just use it as a file browser, and dive into specific albums to find something to edit. Not scientific at all. 😁 I may get further into keywording and all that as I continue, but right now I don't think I have much to offer about this topic. Thanks though, I do appreciate it. There is a lot in On1 and I am purposefully taking my time to get to it.
A great creation but I just keep wondering is this depicting nature in a manner that didn’t exist? I suppose using filters in the day of film did the same. Would waiting for the light to change have resulted in an equally stunning image? Does the end justify the means? Photography is a broad church so I guess anything goes if you enjoy the end result.
Hi Geoffrey and that is a great question. I tend to err on the side of artistic with my edits (no surprise if you have seen other videos) but there are others who do not like that. To each his/her own is my mantra. If you like it, then it's a good edit. I don't have a problem at all with doing artistic things to a shot. As the photographer and creator of it, I feel like that is my right. But yes, for sure if I had been there in better light, it would have required less work. The challenge is that we can't always get the right conditions (or even good conditions) so using tools to make adjustments comes in really handy. Thanks for watching.
Really enjoy your ON1 videos. Please keep them coming!
thanks much Mark, I appreciate it!
Great video Jim, and some nice tips!
thanks for watching Brian!
Jim, thanks & good to you with this product. Hey that trick w/HD vs Dynamic Contrast is neat + a number of others I picked up on. Great Job.
thanks for watching Merle!
Many thanks, Jim. Like the luminosity mask tip 👍👍
thanks for watching Ray!
Very nice Jim, I was hoping for ON1 to add an Inner Brightness slider in the Vignette tool.
thanks much and yes I would love to have that in Vignette as well!

thanks much Jer and yes the edits can really add up - I like how it worked here, but of course you have to be careful LOL

Thanks Jim I've got a few waterfall photos to edit when I was in Wales the video will help lots.
thanks for watching!
Nice one Jim
thanks much!

Nice edit but I think your vignette darkened the nice looking rocks on the upper left too much and the image lost balance.
Yep fair point Philip, I may have been a little heavy-handed with that part...an easy fix of course! 😀
