Love the video mate, clear and easy to understand because you're not trying to flabbergast us. One suggestion though: make the adjustment panel larger so we can more easily see the numbers and values involved in the adjstments.

Thanks for the comment and the advice regarding the control panel, going forward I will do as you suggest 😀

Both the color and black and white versions look beautiful to me. Your ability to visualize where you're going with a photographic and create a desired mood is simply remarkable. Your finished product is so pleasing and captivating to look at. Thanks you, once again, for the education.

Thank you for your clear and detailed explanations of process. I have "learned" a great deal watching your videos. I have been a amateur photographer for 60 years, and I am really thankful for your demonstration of what can be done with images. I started with B&W, setting up my own darkroom then into color and color slides (who didn't like kodachrome?). As time passed, I've spent time scanning in old B&W and color images and then editing in Photoshop. I wish I had the tools we have today to manipulate those images back then. But you are breathing new life into many of these shots. Kudos.

Thank you so much for your kind words and comment. I am the same as you, started with film and processed at home (B&W) moved to digital in the late 1990's and then started to shot RAW and 'adjust' around 2008. Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop has come so far and very quickly, the last 5 years has seen a transformation of the capabilities and consistency we can expect. If you see my latest Video 'Wild West - Generative Fill', you can see the incredible magic that is now possible using the new AI tools, simply stunning :-)

Fantastic videos and beautiful work, thank you. I'm now going through all my old holiday photos I took of boring buildings lol and trying to give them new life. One question though. You don't use photoshop's 'blend if' function to add highlights in this video (maybe you do in others) A specific reason, or just preference? as I think the blend if option works very well.

@jamiermathlin

Thanks for the comment and your kind words, in regard to the 'blend if' function I have not used it, so no real experience, I will have a look. But generally I am very happy with the masking capabilities of lightroom 😀

Question Jamie - dialing in an appropriate 'building color' is a bit tricky. Somewhere between light blue and almost neutral seems to be ideal. I haven't gone through all your videos (yet). Any quick thoughts? Lastly, now I need to take more photos that include street lamps! Great stuff, thanks again.

When you go black and white the colour does not really matter, however what does matter is colour contrast, so always boost the vibrance and saturation :-D

Q: best time of day to shoot when you’re going to convert pic to b/w ?

@jamiermathlin

11 ай бұрын

I generally shoot early mornings to ensure in busy places a lower number of people, also there tends to be a little bit less contrast, so you have the opportunity to add contrast then selectively 😀

If I duplicate the mask,the settingsof of mask1 are not reset.What could be the reason? Maybe you can help me? Thank you!

@jamiermathlin

7 ай бұрын

If you duplicate the mask, then you get a copy of the mask you are duplicating including the settings 😀 If you want a new mask with all the setting reset, then create a new mask.

I noticed when you brought the image back to Lr after editing in Ps, it was now a TIF file. Does editing a TIF file create any issues when compared to editing the same image in RAW?

@jamiermathlin

11 ай бұрын

great question, generally we start with a RAW or DNG (Digital Negative File), with the RAW being 14-bit or 16-bit depending on your camera and its settings (this refers to the colour depth), when we go over to Photoshop Adobe converts the file into a PNG ( Portable Network Graphic, a type of raster image file, that can handle graphics with transparent or semi-transparent backgrounds) which remains a 16bit file, when we go back to Lightroom you have a choice of TIFF (Tag Image File Format, is a computer file used to store raster graphics and image information) or PNG (can be selected in preferences for Photoshop). The TIFF file also remains a 16bit file and is very compatible with most other image software. So even though we have changed 3 times the file type remains 16bit so allowing the full dynamic range of the data to be used. I hope this helps.

@mje1625

11 ай бұрын

@@jamiermathlin Thank you for the wonderful explanation. Just so I fully understand... assuming the same image with the same adjustments (contrast, brightness, clarity, masks, etc.) are identical between a TIF and RAW file, the TIF edited image will look the same as the original RAW/DNG edited image. I hope I worded that clearly 🙂

Did you bracketed the shot ?

I really enjoy your videos and have been kind of re- inspired. Unfortunately, although according to Adobe's computer system requirements, my computer exceeds them by a little bit. My computer slows drastically and starts throwing popups that hinder me from doing much of this type of editing. I'm on PC and I'm not in a financial place to make big upgrades to my computer. To say I'm extremely disappointed is an understatement

I will try to add this information going forward, I was shooting with Sony for the past 7 years, started with A7R2 and then 3 years ago upgraded to A7R4, however 6 weeks ago, I sold everything Sony and went back to Canon, who I was with for more than 25 years before I changed to Sony. I now have a Canon R5, with a 14-35mm F4 L, 24-105mm F4 L and 70-200mm F4 L :-D

@@simonryan6850 it is an awesome camera, one of the very best currently available. The 61MP sensor is probably the best FF sensor on the market currently (same as the A7R5), therefore you may choose to ask, so why change to a 45MP Canon, the answer is 1. The Sony A7R4 was coming to be 3 years old, so I needed a new camera, as I like them to be under warranty, 2. Top spec Cameras still have 60-70% of their orignal value at 3 years, compared to the current market price (if you look after them). 3. The new Sony A7R5 is no real imporvement over the A7R4 for my type of photography (I do not shoot actions, portraits, birds etc). 4. I prefer the colour science of the Canon Sensors and the R5 is almost as good as the Sony A7R4 for dymanic range and noise. Hope that answer the question that you may asked 😀
