Fascinating and inspiring … thanks!

Hi Robin, I'm Ray. This is the first video I watch from your channel but IT WILL NOT be the last! What an astonishing technique! Call me a 'newb', but this is incredible! Thank you so very much! You've got a new sub mate. Cheers, Ray.

I'm glad you like it. I doesn't always work but I find it easier than messing around with tripods and long exposure filters.

Thanks Robin, this method is so easy to follow and simple to achieve same result and less complex than PS .

Hi Robin, That's a quick way to mimic the photoshop 'fine art' selections process and I'll certainly give it a go. It occurs to me that it might also be a good way to help visualise a final image before starting a lengthy Photoshop edit. Thanks for the tutorial.

That’s a good idea. I hadn’t thought about using it to check what a more complex edit could look like.

Excellent video Robin, much quicker than doing it Photoshop.

I've found Lightroom much easier to use for this type of work. It's worth trying.

Great video Robin - seems to work very well. I usually use PS to get this effect and use multiple selections and gradients to precisely control where I place light. This either might work in its place or would do well as a "quick and dirty" visualisation tool. lets see....

I’m glad you liked it. I’ve been experimenting with a few different images and the results are very promising. The main limitation is if you want to see movement in a sky which isn’t a long exposure already.

Great video

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been wanting to learn this kind of technique and have struggled to find any tutorials suitable for a new learner I do like this fine art black and white image and if you have any more of the same (or offer tuition) please let me know. Andy

Hello. Great, to the point, video! I followed your video but you did not say how to save all those masks into one... (complete beginner/first time in Lightroom).

@RobinWhalley

5 ай бұрын

I'm not really sure what you mean by "save all those masks into one". The changes you make are saved in the Lightroom Catalog. It's only when you export the image from Lightroom that they become part of the image. At that point the masks are all combined into the image and you can't change them. You would need to go back to Lightroom and then edit the masks there before exporting a new image.

Is this way better than PS Camera raw? Is it looking better?

No, just different. You can do the same in ACR. Personally I find it more difficult because I’m used to Lightroom.

Hi Robin Nice video once again. This is an out of topic. I have seen your videos explaining the various software's for editing photos, PS, Lightroom, On1 Nick collections, capture one. Luminar Ai, Affinity photo Dxo Photolab topaz labs etc. I own a copy of them all. Each one had a particular feature that the other did not have so I ended up having them all. I update them every other year so I dont update them every year. Now it became the problem of plenty. I am confused now which to choose to edit my photos. I am sure you have all of these software with you. when you take a photo how do you decide which soft ware you are going to use to edit them. Do you have a particular work flow for portrait this software, for landscapes another one. I just want your guidance thanks.

Sorry, I don't have a particular workflow that I follow. I tend to switch between and combine tools based on a few things: 1. Keeping my skills fresh with each. 2. Experimenting to learn more. 3. Prevent me from becoming bored. 4. Some tools are better/easier than others for certain effects and so I tend to pick those. To give you an idea, I use DxO PhotoLab for RAW file processing. Lightroom is particularly good at giving the impression of light. I use the Nik Collection a lot because it's very quick. I use Lightroom to manage my library of images. I use either Photoshop or Affinity Photo for detailed editing and repair work.
