Hello Gavin, you are a Master at processing your images. You are an all-rounder who has a great grasp of the Art of Photography. If I had half the skills that you have I would be doing very well. I am alright at the image taking, but the mechanics processing my brain melts. Going on 67 years of age. Again thank you, for sharing your skills...

Not only do I get some very nice photography content, it's presentation is fun and entertaining. The instruction in this video was clear to the point complete enough to easily follow, yet didn't drag on, to me a winning combination. Thank you for your efforts and sharing your passion.

RT is very limited, but gloriously easy to use. GIMP is much more powerful software for combining photos, has all those fancy features like luminosity masking, yadda yadda... If you've gotten bored with RT, try Darktable for your raw development. Many more features than RT, such as masking and a large variety of processes you can run on your images. If you're looking for a native Linux HDR program, I've been using Luminosity HDR for a couple weeks and have to say it's confusing AF. Lots of options, lots of potential results, but I'm not too sure which way is up yet. Like most linux software, it's powerful, but the interface is kind of trash.

The eraser tool! Holy smokes! You may want to re-think that little nugget of destructive editing in favor of some good old fashioned masking. Once you erase those pixels they’re gone forever! This is easily one of the best photography channels on the Tube, so tuck that eraser into the bin of forbidden tools and let it collect dust along with film photography and streak-marked underwear. . .

@BruceLevickbrusca5 жыл бұрын
Awesome work and great result. Try using a mask and edit the mask to blend your images as opposed to erasing your original image. Makes it easier to revisit your edit and make adjustments later on. As your processing skills improve a few years down the track you may want to re-edit some of your previous photos. Will save you some time. If the image is complex then also try using luminosity masks if a manual edit is too hard. "LOOK AT THAT BUSINESS" < love it!!

I often use layer and luminosity masks Bruce but I'd rather do a complete re-edit than revisit an edit. From all the workshops that I've taught I still find that some people have difficulty with the concept of layer masks but they never have difficulty with the Erase tool.

@@fototripper Well, all the parts you erased are gone. Sure...they will be there in the other file, but it makes no sense to switch between files if it's not needed. So...no reason NOT to go with masks, as the results are exactly the same. But masks gives you the benefit of not erasing actual pixels from your image but hides them. You know I'm right, man. Just use masks ;) It's better to teach others this too ;)

@@fototripper nice one. Love your work.
Hey Gavmondo, when you've been back 'home' in the UK have you been to High Force and Low Force waterfalls? I've been a couple of times over the years and found that Low Force is most Trezmendous compared to it's bigger counterpart.
Also an islander in the Cowichan valley , were are these falls located? Enjoying your video's do you do group photo shoots
Why did you use the eraser tool and not a layer mask?
Terrific vlog, Gavin - I'm new to this processing lark so could you tell me whether I should put my raw files through Adobe camera raw before importing into Lightroom? Can you stack photo's in Lightroom (Classic) or does it have to be done in Photoshop? Thanks.
Gavin I would like to ask you what makes a person a professional photographer? Is it selling prints and Calendars or do you also need to teach? Cheers.

If you're broke, you're a professional landscape photographer.
At 1:56 what is that tripod mount ?????
What would have been the end result, if you had just generated an HDR out of the 2 or 3 exposures? Better or worse? I generally take that shortcut. Too bloody lazy, I suppose.

It might have been a good starting point and sometimes I do do that. But manually blending in certain parts from other exposures will always look more natural if done well.
Another great video :) I'd be tempted to use a mask rather than the eraser tool (as it's non destructive) but it doesn't change the excellent points being made here :) I would have loved to have seen where your focus points were for these shots (which i know you do in some of your other vids) as I can never seem to get that quite right :(

Hi Mate, Fellow expat Pat here, down under in Perth Western Australia. Love the channel and the banter :) Have you tried Lumenzia, It would better isolate your highlights. Updates are free, which is a bonus. He also responds to your emails if you get stuck. Ash

eraser??? seriously nooo use layer mask, it s far more powerful, eraser is a destrucitve tool you cant go backwards, with layer mask, you can do what you want, change your mind...

GOD PLEASE!!! Use masks instead of the eraser tool. Non destructible workflow FTW ;)

@@fototripper Well, all the parts you erased are gone. Sure...they will be there in the other file, but it makes no sense to switch between files if it's not needed. So...no reason NOT to go with masks, as the results are exactly the same. But masks gives you the benefit of not erasing actual pixels from your image but hides them. You know I'm right, man. Just use masks ;) It's better to teach others this too ;)
