Help with Lightroom is always welcome, thank you Nigel.

4:37 So... Cliff Sun has taken a picture of a cliff with the sun shining on it. Love it!

12:58 raw files like that where there’s so much details in the super bright areas🤤😩 so satisfying

I really liked this video and I suspect that more exposure to your editing style would improve my photography. Consider doing more like this. Thank you.

What a gem of a video, so much knowledge to take from it. Thank you.

Brilliant Nigel.. What a fascinating video. Thank you.

Loved how the images were transformed with just a few changes. Particularly important is the need for simplicity and removing distractions. Your comments were very informative.

Oh wow Nigel. I just learned soooo much in only a few minutes

Great video Nigel. Would love to see more of these!

Probably the best demonstration of cropping and composition I've seen. Really brought it to life. Thanks.

Thanks a lot Nigel. I hope you feel better. I like this type of video, you show us your way of seeing a photo. I’ll spend more time on my computer without doing anything only imaging what You ’ll do if you were near me...it’ll be a good game...thanks and have a good day.

Congratulations to all those amazing photographers and their stunning images, and thanks to you Nigel, as always, for the fantastic video !

Love this. These are my favourite videos of yours!

Really enjoyed watching this Nigel. Thnx

And that’s the beauty of photography highlighted in your video. We all have our own personal perspective, so it’s interesting when someone else crops a shot and makes a new shot from an existing one. Not saying it’s better or worse, as that’s always an individual’s taste, but I love that it can be just so different. 👍🏼

What great images! Loved seeing the thought process on editing them, especially the cropping or making composition adjustments in the field.

This video is extremely helpful in terms of composition and edits. Bravo! Would love to see more.

There are a number of stimulating ideas here.

Love your work and tutorials. ❤

So many useful editing tips! Thank you!!!

Please do more videos like this one. Your eye for composition and light and sharing your thoughts and real world edits was an amazing lesson. Thanks.

Thank you for this. I enjoyed seeing how you view an image and how you would edit the images. I'd love to see a few more of these types of videos.

Many thanks (yet again) Nigel. Off to practice some of those skills now!

What a great selection of images!

Brilliant , I only use Photoshop but found the advice extremely helpful. MORE PLEASE!

I really enjoy these editing videos as much as the field work; they just need more Pebbles 🐶

Great video Nigel. Really like seeing the transformative impact of your creative crops. Would love to see more videos from you like this.

A "part 2" of this kind of video is a MUST, right??? I learned few tips & tricks here and there that will improve my editing! Thanks!

Nigel - thank you so much for editing my submission (Tom Poundall here 😊). I picked this photo as I thought it would enable you to play with the quality of Nikon's raw files (which is excellent to say the least). Photo was taken after a long day of hiking and without a tripod for context. Now that I am back in the UK, I hope our paths meet in the future 😎🙌

After looking at the placing and commended images for the competition, I certainly don't envy the task of picking the winner, some absolutely phenomenal images.

Thanks. I always learn so much from your videos.

Some really fine images from some accomplished photographers. I learned from your editing and reasoning, Nigel, making this another useful video for me. Thank you for making and posting it.

Loved that !

Brilliant tutorial. Thank you!

Loved this

Learned a whole lot! Thanks for doing this!

Great video as always Nigel. More of these please, as they are SO informative & therefore very helpful. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant video and learned a lot on the thought process. It really shows that once composition is nailed, there isn’t a lot that needs to be done from an editing standpoint.

Highly debatable, haha. Especially when you are doing exposure blending or image averaging.. along with a lot of different local adjustments! People like to add their own creative touch :3

Just awesome, tnx a lot. And guys have awesome images, just spectacular

Really great to see how you approach each photo. I think my favourite bit though was when you thought Cliff Sun was the name of the guy who sent it in. Admittedly he was supposed to put his name in the file name, but even so - brilliant 😂👍

Cliff Sun actually posted in the comments here, it's one of the ones that has been "hearted" by Nigel. Just a coincidence that his photo also had a cliff and the sun :)

Thank you so much, I learned so much from this video. More of this please :)

This was such a helpful video. We would love to see more of your critiques!

this is just so so cool!!! Thanks so much Nigel for allowing us to watch you work!

Great learning experience! Thanks!

Really learn lots from these walk through editing sessions

That was a really helpful episode. Good to concentrate in some pictures on the crop, in others on the exposure and sometimes „I couldn’t resist“ 😄 Due to fact that there are some photos left you could do a volume 2?

Really enjoy this sort of video; thank you Nigel!

There's something about that letterbox composition that really calms me down. I find doing that many times on my own images.

This was great, thanks Nigel. And "good job" to the photographers!

Great insight into your editing philosophy

Good video. I’ll look at cropping my images more thoughtfully

excellent video Nigel. you definitely need to do more of these! :)

Thanks Nigel - so useful seeing your approac to editing. Hope the knee is improving still.

Hi Nigel! I am a big fan of your work and these tips are so helpful, one of the best LR tips I have seen in a KZread videos in recent times! Thanks for sharing.

Nigel, this photo editing video is awesome. I’ve learnt so much from it. What a great way to share your knowledge. Thank you 🙏

Great video - fascinating to see the transformation of an image by someone who knows what they're doing!

Fantastic video! I enjoyed seeing how you edited other people's photos. Also...way to go with making a 29 minute video fly by! I thought I was halfway through only to see I had like 3 minutes left! 😀

Really enjoyed your editing style Nigel, it has certainly helped to have a good look at the image before you start. Well done, some beautiful images.

Brilliant, Nigel! An easy 'like' from me. Super helpful. And brilliant entries!

Enjoyed the edits that you did with viewer's images and would like to see additional videos like this. The cropping suggestions and positioning of the camera were very helpfu.

Really enjoy these tuts. I'm not a massive landscape photographer but when I do do landscape I need to pay more attention to some of the subtle edits you make in this video. Great work 👍

Very good vid, the editing had so many things I will do now.

Great video, learnt loads about composition and using Lightroom so thanks Nigel your tips are much appreciated.

Great video! I find these incredibly helpful! Really interesting 😊

So helpful to see how you think about editing steps.

Haha! Love how you cropped out one of the most iconic rocks in Norway and just «shot» the fjord! 😅 It shows you that we should always keep our minds open for other ideas.

What an amazing video. Would love to see more of these for sure. Keep up the good work ;)

Great video!

great post - TY

Great video! I enjoyed the combination of critique and demonstration of editing techniques. I learned a lot, and it was enjoyable to see your thought process. Working on other’s photos gives it a nice twist. I agree with some other commenters that a volume 2 may be in order.

Need more content like this।

Really enjoyed this video - hope you do more of these in the future

Great video as usual Nigel, and thanks to your link I just got a good deal on a new Lexar SD card.

Brilliant video and great tips for making the comp/crops both out in the fields and on the computer when editing 😃👍

Very helpful! Thank you, Nigel. My main takeaway is the combination of dehaze and colour temperature at the first image.

Really useful as always to see videos like this Nigel. We never stop learning. Wish I'd sent you my dead tree at Pico Ruivo now!

I am wondering if "Cliff Sun" was a misnomer inspired by the photo itself. Great video, I always think there's nothing left to learn in Lightroom and every time there is!

Great video - really helpful!

Amazing video, as always. I love how you teach so naturally and it is so great to learn from you here. Thank you so much, Nigel! Love from Brazil ❤️ (btw how's your injury? Are you making progress or fully healed?)

Very informative and thought provoking video, cheers

That was helpful, thanks. I tend to put 99% of my effort into the shot and 1% into the edit… and while that’s the correct way around at least, it’s useful to get tips on the latter. An area I’d love to hear more about in future tutorials is colours and colour theory/balance. I suspect lots of us spend our editing time focussing on exposure and details, while forgetting to do anything much about the colours other than tweaking the saturation slider!

More than anything I like your cropping.

Thank you! I learned a lot of different tips pertaining to Lightroom cropping and adjustments. Great photos. Truly, Linda - CREIGHTON Photography Montana

Great video! More like this!

So fun.

Wonderful vid, appreciate the tips. Hope your leg is getting better!

Learned some great tips. I never thought of saturating colors separately. So much more control than sat slider. I saturate one or two but never bring the entire saturation panel up together. Light bulb.

Thank you so much for the pro tips. I am happy and got lucky that my photo as taken. Big fan from Nepal. Currently in South Korea. Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing, I've learned something. Hope your knee allows you to go places again !

Great, will share ;)

This video made me realize how much more I can do with my lightroom subscription fml I can do sooo much more with my photos! Thank you! Loved this video 🤩 I do have a question... does lightroom desktop has more features than lightroom mobile and lightroom online?

Nigel, an idea for a future video. Could you walk us through how you created one of your most used presets and then explain how you determine which images that this particular preset is applicable for?

15:22 that's an incredible shot, and fantastic edit!! Side note: have you seen editing tutorials from starting with BW and then Slowly adding color? It's pretty cool!! Should try it out

Great video as always. Thinking about the ones you cropped a lot, totally agree with what you did but noticed you had the crop tool open (not using aspect ratio) and wondered if that would affect the ability to print the images, that is, 7x5, 18x12 etc. I always struggle with apsect ratios and printing. Be good to have your view. Thanks Chris.

Hi Nigel, a quick question on crop ratios. I always feel I should maintain a regular print ratio/crop size whereas you just go off piste and irregular. Would love your input. PS: sorry about the skiing reference ;)

"cliff Sun" has to be the name of the raw file rather than the photographer surely! 😂

Wow it was great to see you edit my Neist point image! I didn't know about the warp correction in Photoshop and definitely struggled with the wonky lighthouse after straightening the horizon (lightroom distortion correction is a bit limited). I think it might have something to do with the lens profile correction thats pulling the image back into the centre (to counteract the barrel distortion of the Tamron 17-28mm).

Magnificent Nigel. One question, what specs you have in your iMac to edit your photos in raw format? What do you suggest.?

@NigelDanson

I have the top of the range iMac 2019 with 128Gb of Ram and it still struggles occasionally.

Interesting as always Nigel and the power of cropping images within images is something I try to thing about when out shooting to maximise the MP's.

Could you do a video to see which phone makes the best prints? I would suggest that the pixel 6 pro, the iPhone 13 and the Samsung 22 ultra are the main contenders? Thanks 👍🏻
