This style of editing really harkens back to the darkroom days. It's how I've been editing my photos as well and it's an enjoyable process without getting too complicated. I've seen other photographers do similar things with much more involved tools, luminance masks and all sorts of plugins for photoshop. The results are different while their work looks impressive at first I find it's often "too perfect" especially when we start moving blades of grass for a better composition and things of that nature. This reminds me of looking at an Ansel Adams print, if you go to view them in person you can clearly see where he dodged and burned them sometimes not perfectly but considering the tools of the era did an excellent job. I almost find some comfort in photos that aren't technically perfect and sometimes leave small things in them (like people skinny dipping in the distance) as easter eggs for someone looking closely to find. Most people never notice.

Certainly can relate to your opening remarks about raw files and being discouraged, but the bringing to life of your image was remarkable. To think that beautiful image was there all along and just need to be unveiled. Simple indeed and quite wonderful, William.

Íve been playing around with your idea which have been helpful. I found some of my camera specific profiles lighten thing up without over saturation. I am guilty of putting several images together to make one for more detail. I have wait on the brush until I merged the images

I like your editing style. Although I think I tend to over process my images, I have been surprised how I've been able to bring out some gems from RAW files. Thanks goodness Sony is very forgiving in dynamic range. I feel very comfortable with Lightroom, and would very much like to learn how not to get locked into some sort of unknown state in Photoshop. I hope to have time next month to take one of your on-line courses.

Always appreciate it mate, thank you 🙏🏻 LR is fine for 90% of images, until you need to focus stack or exposure blend, etc.

Completely agree with you on the marination phase. Similarly I almost always dialed down a bit any adjustment I do cause I know I tend to overdo it quite systematically 😊. Still have to go through all your courses I bought a couple of month ago already. 😊

Hey @WilliamPatinoPhotography thanks a lot! What do you think about luminosity masks? I am also using mostly Lightroom and only switching to Ph for stacking and blending, but do you use those? It seems to me super complicated in relation to the results it provides in comparison to simple masking and basic adjustments with Lightroom. Is it worth it to learn for landscape photography?

Nice video snd great advices as usual!! I got myself a Z8 recently, although I haven't tested it properly it is the best camera I ever used, but I'm having problems with the white balance in LR, every time I try to warm up the images they tend to look more green..... quite weird, luckily it seems that the auto white balance in this camera is so good that it is not very necessary to play around with it in post. About the 3D printing, why not a battery carrier? it could be interesting a safe gadget to store batteries

very helpful and a good refresher after having completed the course on retouching. I wonder about the color grading - it is still global in the it affects highlights, midtones and shadows throughout the image, while in PS you can mask so that adjustments only affect the sky, or the mountains or the foreground - is there any way to do this in LR/ACR? also, not all landscapes are naturally dark in the foreground - I would love a tutorial on how to approach this type of landscape image as well. thank you for a brilliant presentation! and highly recommend the course to anyone who is thinking about it

Thank you so much Susan 🙏🏻 No, you can’t apply grading locally just yet, I’m sure it’ll be possible in the near future though. Cheers!

Very good video as always. After watching several of your videos I'm thinking of switching from Lightroom to Adobe Bridge + ACR. I find LrC import and file management tools to be very cumbersome. I am not finding a lot of useful detailed tutorials online about workflow from Br to ACR. Would it be possible to add to your to-do list to provide a very detailed video on your BR->ACR workflow, including how you set up your Br layout, functions that you use or don't use, file organization/storage, backflow from ACR to Br, etc.? Keep up the great content! Cheers!

Your dislike of the sky selection tool seems premature to me. You're right that the selection isn't very accurate. That's why I never use it as the sole choice, but make it interact with other selective tools, such as the gradient, the brush tool, or - very specifically, color - and luminance-tool. Working with the sky selection tool opens up the possibility of adaptive presets, which can be a great advantage when transferring settings to other images. You give that away when you close yourself off to addaptive tools Greeting, Klaus, Germany

@WilliamPatinoPhotography

I guess my main problem with it, aside from the inaccurate selection, is that in nature, the sky will always have a gradient in tones and colour. The horizon will always be different then what is directly above, so I’d rather work on the sky locally than as a whole. For me that’s way easier to do just using the brush. Personal preference though of course, there’s no right or wrong. For making presets, which is a totally different approach, it’s obviously going to work ok on some images, as would the object selection tool.
