    I'm finding your processing videos very helpful Adam. Seeing other ways of processing from our own can give us ideas how to improve our workflow. We all learn how to process in different ways, and these videos helps simplify our own techniques, or maybe learn new ones!
    Thanks so much! 🎉

    So I am one who missed the last video, but it was because I have been frantically trying to figure out my new Z8 and spending my video watching time on how to get up to speed on it. It is a huge learning curve from my old camera. I need to find a class on the functions/settings and how to use them. Congrats on the new house! I will catch up on all your videos soon!😊

    @jontheshrub Год назад +2

    Hi Adam, as much as I enjoy the myriad of waterfall, mountain and coastal landscapes from around the world posted by various photographers after a while they get to be very ''Samey'' in their content. To see how these photographs have been dealt with in post and the different techniques and styles used is just as interesting and maybe even more informative. Though having said that I think it's important to keep the balance of content interesting. I also like the fact that your videos are not overly padded out with too many scenes of driving to and from destinations, walking to and fro with several different camera angles and even trips to the shops etc. I love the simplicity of your style but also know in real life it's just not that simple and comes from years of work and experience. Keep it up.

    @hillwalker66 Год назад +3

    Another excellent tutorial based video Adam, the actual editing in lightroom, photoshop ect is easy once you’re confident in using all the features. The hardest part is recognising the mimimum to bring the scene to life, and to that end you are truly a master at creating impelling images.

    I learned another new to me tip. Using the Alt key to find both white and back points I've known about but using it to check near the end of the process to double check which areas are brightest will help me make my final image.

    These are the best videos for me. Usually I can get 4 to 6 little tips from each of these and my editing workflow is much better. I still have much to learn on composition and that is really eating my confidence especially with autumn coming but these instructional videos are a tremendous help. Thank you and wonderful job!

  • @p1pepper
    @p1pepper Год назад

    I enjoy these every bit as much as your in the field vlogs . My attention span is not compatible with the editing techniques of many others . I may do one or two masks on occasion ( focus stack ) , maybe luminosity but that's it for me . More than 20-30 min is MAX for me on any edit . I don't think I'm shortcutting and anything more would be unnoticeable and overkill to me . I've bought a few tutorials that after watching , I'll never apply the techniques ! KISS !

  • @ronboe6325
    @ronboe6325 Год назад

    Editing is not unlike playing a piece on the piano. The notes are the same for everyone, but each pianist will have their own take on it. There are times I would have taken a different approach, mainly because your method was unknown to me. Because of your videos I've been more willing to stack masks up to warm/cool and brighten areas to help guide the viewers eye to the story I'm trying to convey. Thanks!

  • @ronpettitt6184
    @ronpettitt6184 Год назад

    Your editing videos are enlightening and sadly not often enough. I admire your views on editing and almost always learn something that I didn't know. You provide a different vision that I may not have thought of and that is a good thing.I enjoy editing so to me, it will always be of interest. Thanks Adam.

    I am always intrigued by the edits you bring to a RAW file that transform it into the final image. In this video, among all that is craft, you draw attention to customizing Lightroom’s Develop module to follow the user’s use, something efficient and productive. Good, good!

  • @christophertaylor7021
    @christophertaylor7021 Год назад

    Adam, thank you for this video and the last one. I like your simple approach to editing, sometimes I think that I spend too much time editing a photo. It's good to be able to pick up some new tips, anticipate your edits, and reinforce some things that I'm doing right. I always look forward to your "in studio" videos, as well as your "in the field" ones with your buds. Hope your new home isn't a major project like Gavin's!

    Very inspiring video, Adam, as was last week's video, or should I say tutorial. I really do appreciate the subtlety of your edits. Never over the top (well, the name of your channel says it all), always honest. And stimulating me to look at my own edits with a fresh eye.

    Hi Adam - Thank you so much for sharing your tips! As a long time iMac user, I was wondering if you were happy with using your iMac for processing and if you have had issues with using 5k to work on your images. I've been told that lower resolution is better for processing images? I am also wondering about the overall brightness level compared to other monitors and social media. Im just trying to figure out what direction to go in if I eventually get a Mac studio set up.

    • @QuietLightPhoto
      @QuietLightPhoto  Год назад +1

      I really like the iMac, simple to use and gets the job done. You will have to calibrate the monitor though as it tend to be too bright if left on its own.

    • @WJMPhotography

    This might be an awkward, stupid question: When you convert to TIFF (16 bit, I guess) so early in the process, is the dynamic range of the raw files maintained or are you losing information?

  • @petermclennan6781
    @petermclennan6781 Год назад

    It's much better for learning if you tell us the goal before you begin the process of getting there. Simply starting out with creating a complex mask without telling us why you're making it isn't efficient. "Tell them what you're gonna tell them. Tell them. Then tell them what you told them." :)
    Otherwise, excellent.
