I saw this video a couple weeks ago but needed to come back to it to tell you how much this boosted my editing skills. I’ve been doing similar edits to pictures of cats, dogs, and birds. Great video.
Fantastic video with so many useful and easy edits that transform a so-so photo to a very unique and stunning one. Thank you so much for all of your helpful editing videos.
This is the best video I have seen in 2025 so far!! Man, definitely applying all these techniques to my editing. I needed this. Learnt so much. Happy New Year Mate🎉
I have edited photos in a similar style and loved the effect of giving the shadows a colorcast into the blue/green. It looks like black and white with more punch.
Wow! You are a real Lightroom magician! I only do minor edits using this program, but I will follow your example and start experimenting more with masks. Thanks a lot for the very useful tips! By the way, very cute kitty. I have 2 cats at home and one of them is quite similar to yours :) Greetings!
Wieder mal genial Christian :) Kann ich für meine Dog-Shootings sehr gut übernehmen! 8:09 bei mir auch sehr oft! "H" sollte helfen. Shift+H dann nur für die gewählte Maske.
Thanks again Christian! It’s great to see what is possible in LR!! 😀👍 What about the result, for me the car is a bit to bright to it’s environment. But I understand, it’s just a matter of personal taste 😉
Love your editing on this picture! From a learning point of view: why do you use the calibration sliders almost at the end and not directly from the beginning of your editing?
Thanks for the comment! I use it towards the end because I'm used to it that way, I know a lot of other photographers are using it at the very beginning, so I would say both ways are viable :-)
Awesome video. Explained a lot. I just need more instruction on the sharpening. You went over it rather too quickly for me. How did you isolate the cat (subject) to sharpen.
Thanks a lot! I would probably try to brighten up the background to seperate the cat from the background if its got darker fur, or you could try adding some "backlight" but that would be tricky to do in lightroom
Christian, What a lovely cat! So sweet! I love it! Great thanks to you for your wonderful presentation focusing on masking of Background, subject and objects. Your inspiration is very helpful to me. P. S. 1. Is it your cat? P.S. 2. I can download these five photos for October project from today’s link, it worked perfectly. Thank you so much!
2:00 if we are increasing all these sliders, wouldn't it be the same as just adding the exposure slider? because its just making everything brighter anyway.
Just a last touch. Make a subject mask then intersect with a linear mask so that only the left bottom side is masked. Then you can play around with light and contrast to decrease the tonality’s to add a sense of depth and tone separation, as the cat is looking a little bit flat
Great edit! Maybe the light mask right on top of the cat is a bit too much, in my opinion it would have been more realistic with the light coming from the right top angle
Thank you ! I wonder why you made basic adjustements on the whole image ?? Thare are only 2 "subjects" here: the cat and the background. So, manipulaire one part, then the other, no? Moreover, a good idea would be to show us a 100% image when you work on sharpening/color grading the cat or it's eyes. MfG
Thanks for the comment! I always do some basic level of adjustments globally to prepare the image for masking in the next step BUT thats just what I prefer to do. You could totally just only use masks and get the same results! Its just about what you like more :-)
@@ThePhlogPhotography Yeah man :) Not necessarily big packs of presets, but maybe a cpl of presets for a symbolic price. I dont know - Im just thinking out loud here :)
My lightroom would freeze and lag a lot with this amount of masking. I have a beefy Windows machine I reckon. I wonder if it has to do with just editing one picture on a single catalog.

12 minutes of easy editing but you literally transformed the photo. Definitely going to follow your channel. Thank you!

Thank you so much, that means a lot to me!
Im a simple man. I see cat, I press like.
Thanks for the comment! The point color tool is great, to be honest I'm just too lazy to use it, but it would probably be better for quality!
I’m a simple man , I see a man seeing a cat and pressing like, I like his comment
i learned more in this video in a matter of time than anywhere else.
straight to the point, you got a subscriber

These lessons are so great. I just watch and watch. I hope you always do lots of these types. So valuable.
Thank you so so much!

Fantastic job! I love how you invented a light source and the lovely charcoal-like color grading on the rocks.
Stunning result! Please make more subject-based videos like this one :)
Thanks a lot! I'll try to get some more pretty pictures with subjects like this :-)
@@ThePhlogPhotography can yoou do human object? thankyou
one of the best edits i have come across in last few days. Kudos
Thanks so much!
Great job, Christian. Simple and with an excelent result.
Justin, you just described my entire subs list!! Haha. Other than channels like Backscatter and Behind the Mask missed, this is a MASTER LIST
Wow! What a fabulous image!
I just learnt so much about light room in one video. Thank you
Very nice stylization, Christian. Thanks.
Wow!!!!!!!!, You color grading is amazing!!!!!!!!! You did a great job explaining! Thank you!
Thank you!

Beautiful Job!
Nice - this showes realy good what comes out by the edit no need of Photoshop
Damn! Thats crazy mate!
Amazing!!! Thank You Dude! 🤩
simple and great!
Purrrfect
Verry nice Christian Thanks
Thank you for sharing 👏
Awesome video. Explained a lot. I just need more instruction on the sharpening. You went over it rather too quickly for me. How did you isolate the cat (subject) to sharpen.
Thank you so much! I have a separate video on sharpening, you can find it here: ruclips.net/video/hL9O7OhoIkg/видео.html
I love this!😊
great video thanks!
Great lesson! Many thanks!
Amazing👍👍
thanks
Great result, but are we able to apply this edited with lightroom for smartphones? I find it little bit difficult to apply, thanks
Thanks for the comment! Not sure how Lightroom works on mobile, but if you are able to use masks there, you should be able to recreate this look!
great result
beautiful
I love the video and have been attempting to get the same result....but struggling. Any suggestions ? You make it look so easy !!
Bravo !
Great work ! If it’s a darker colour cat without the white fur, what will be your recommendation to enhance the image ？ appreciate the advice
Thanks a lot! I would probably try to brighten up the background to seperate the cat from the background if its got darker fur, or you could try adding some "backlight" but that would be tricky to do in lightroom
Excellent
Appreciate your work DAWG 🫶
very very very gooooood! Like
super color grading
Well Done!!
Great video...thank you.
Christian, What a lovely cat! So sweet! I love it!
Great thanks to you for your wonderful presentation focusing on masking of Background, subject and objects.
Your inspiration is very helpful to me.
P. S. 1. Is it your cat?
P.S. 2. I can download these five photos for October project from today’s link, it worked perfectly. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for the kind words! Unfortunately, this is not my cat but, we encountered him on the way down from a mountain in switzerland! :-)
Sehr gutes Video!
Awesome!
非常感谢你的详细过程
wow!

wouldn't it be the same as just adding the exposure slider?
because its just making everything brighter anyway.

Очень крутой результат👍
I love it
Great edit! Maybe the light mask right on top of the cat is a bit too much, in my opinion it would have been more realistic with the light coming from the right top angle
I would have added in some masks to add some shadows in the cat and make it also have some depth
However, learnt a lot. Really interesting edit
Excellent! More tutorials with animals
Thanks a lot! More will be coming :-)
Thank you !

just wow
good guiding video
I just think you could have toned down the orange in the cat ears
Help me please....I can't see that masking pannel on my application...How am I able to get the pannel as yours.?
What is the video editor you used for this video ? :)
Premiere Pro
SOS UN CAPO BOLUDO ,GRACIAS.
You should save the preset and let us buy it for 1 $.
Think you would be surprised how many of us would give it a try :)
Finished photo looks amazing
I dont know, never worked much with presets, maybe I will do something in the future for members of the channel or something :-)
@@ThePhlogPhotography Yeah man :) Not necessarily big packs of presets, but maybe a cpl of presets for a symbolic price. I dont know - Im just thinking out loud here :)
My lightroom would freeze and lag a lot with this amount of masking. I have a beefy Windows machine I reckon. I wonder if it has to do with just editing one picture on a single catalog.
What is the lightroom version you are using? Mine is an older version and does not have tgese masking tools.
Oh, I'm using the newest version. I think the older versions are lacking those ai masks for things like subject and background right?
Press H will bring structure of gradient back
Nice job, however you did not change the stones that you selected with the cat. it was to bright for my taste
