Jim, you turned me on to Luminar but since Lightroom has added these powerful masking features as well as the ease of integration with Photoshop with new generative and removal tools I rarely use Luminar. And I always pick up something from your videos. This time it was how to use the object selection in masking and a better understanding of the pixel tweaking color tools.
Hi Allan and thanks, and yes LR has come a long way. I use both and like both but I understand. Glad you were able to find something in this one that helps. Thanks for watching!
Great video Jim. I love the masking tools in Lightroom. I tend to take a lot of landscape shots so I use the sky mask to adjust the sky then do another sky mask, invert it and then adjust everything else. The masking is great because you can adjust lots of different things in the same photo. One final thing (and if I'm telling you something that you already know then forgive me). Big Ben is the actual bell, inside the Elizabeth clock tower, although most people call the clock tower big ben nowadays, so it has become more accepted :) Oh yeah, I almost forgot. As a coach driver for 30 odd years, I used to go to London quite often and I can honestly say that the best thing about it is the road out!!
Thanks much Ivan and yes I am aware that Big Ben is the bell, not the tower, but being a dumb American I keep calling it what I have always called it LOL. Yes LR has amazing masking and it is fun to use too. Thanks for watching!
I had Lightroom years ago and always loved the clarity then I went to Luminar. I'm very impressed with lightroom after watching your video and tempted to add it to edit some photos and compare it to Luminar. Thanks for sharing this Jim :)
Excellent video Jim and quite a transformation of the image. It's good to see Lightroom being used for a change in image editing as many videos these days seem to push Neo, On1 and otherof the many softwares available. I think Adobe has had a bit of a wakeup call over the last year or so with the competition around and is making many advances now.
Thanks much Ken and yes LR has come a long way in the last couple of years, and it has some fantastic capabilities for sure. I will do more vids about all the features I am using in LR. Thanks!
Congratulations for one more great video!!!👏🏾👏🏼👏🏾 I just like to suggest you one thing: When you're talking about changes in the panels, please give they a screen zoom, because it is often difficult to keep up with your changes. Thank you!
I just found this video, Jim, and it is excellent and outstanding! The video is so informative, but even more help is seeing how you took a dull, flat picture and turned it into an absolutely awesome photograph. Thank you ever so much for the video, but for demonstrating how to transform a picture. The photo itself is gorgeous and artistically awesome. Your style of video presentation is fantastic and so extremely helpful. Thanks again. P.S. Not related to this video itself, but are you full-time now on photography and videos and workshops (referring to one of you not too long ago photos when you spoke about this career transformation). I wish you well because your work is amazing.
trying to learn Lightroom. this video really helped to understand its capabilities. what's the difference between Lightroom and Lightroom classic? when do i use one over the other?
Thanks for watching. Lightroom is the cloud-based version whereas Lightroom Classic is the original, desktop version and that is what I was using in this video. I am not sure about the differences though as I never use the cloud version, just the desktop version (LR Classic).
Nice to see you back on the LR trail!
Nice to be back on it!

Thanks Joe and I like to use it for some edits, as it has a lot of nice features. But of course I will always be using Luminar as my main editor. 😀

Thanks so much David, I appreciate all the kind things you have said here. I am working at my photography fulltime now, thanks.

What a terrific edit.
thank you Leon!
Thanks for video. Would like a similar one on masking portraits.
thanks much and honestly I rarely shoot portraits, so I rarely do vids about them, but I will give it some thought - I appreciate the suggestion
Great video Jim, LR has come a long way, may have to try it again,
thanks so much Tom and yes it has come a long way for sure
Very nice edit Jim. I'd love to make it there across The Big Pond some day!

Nicely done
