🌟QUICK QUESTION: What do you use to Edit your Photos?

@thesouringgentleman

10 ай бұрын

I just make super basic edits for exposure, shadows, highlights, and a starting point for color, the rare times I use color. After that, I bounce it out to photoshop for finer work. But I'm mostly posting to instagram on my black and white account, and much of that is documentary-style photography with minimal edits.

Mostly Lightroom Classic, with a little PS mixed in for object removal.

Color Range in LightRoom

@bkc1965

I mostly use Adobe Camera Raw, and Lightroom second. And of course, Photoshop. I thought about saying that I print my photos and then edit them on the paper with whiteout and crayons. 🤣🤣

I wish I knew I could have used the dropper tool to remove some of a mask the other week. I spent over 8 hours removing parts of a background from a mask on a bridge I photographed. That would have saved so much time and frustration going over it numerous times trying to get perfect lines.Yep just went back to the photo and copied the original to re edit and 3 clicks instead of 8hours of brush tool so much easier.

My jaw hit the floor when you did the sailboat mask and removed the sky using color range. Shooting a lot of aerial photography, that is a game changer for me. Thanks!

I agree, 1000% these LightRoom masking tools are real gamechangers! My “go to” masking tool is Color Range for a large area in a landscape photo. If it selects too much color range, I simple use the “Amount” slider to reduce the range and if that’s not enough, I’ll use the “Subtract” on the created mask and pick the Brush, works great on Milky Way photos!

Agreed! Pretty incredible tools

I've known about the object select tool but using the color range to subtract from the masking is something new for me and I'm super excited to use it! Thanks for the tip Mark!

I fully agree about the object selection tool. However, I had not thought that subtract colour range could be so effective. Thank you.

I love the brush object selection. With object such as the iceberg you can often just kind of wave the brush around over the object. Brilliant!

I have watched your videos for a long time and have learned quite a bit. But I think this is one of your most useful videos for everyone and not just people interested in cars. Thank you.

Only recently upgraded my lightroom and soon as i found this masking tool i was like wow what pictures have i taken in the past that i can now make so much better!

What a fantastic tip on cleaning up more difficult masks. I had no idea and can't wait to try it. Thanks Mark !

Awesome ! Thanks for sharing!

Wow!! Thank you. Saves so much time and cannot reproduce such accuracy manually. Thank you so much Mark :)

Oh wow! My mind has been blown. Thank you for sharing. Greatly appreciated.

Mark, your Lightroom object masking tutorial is excellent. You have distilled the process to make masking in Lightroom very easy. I appreciate your expertise and excellent presentation. You have clearly enhanced my capabilities and I thank you. Al Lehman

I have been using the object selection tool a lot but have never subtracted using color range. Brilliant! Can't wait to use the great tips you've been putting out recently. Outstanding videos and teaching!

Excellent video, Mark. I love the new tools in LR for object selection. Thanks for sharing your techniques.

Thank you for sharing!

I enjoy the whole video, direct, clear and professional! Thanks...

Phenomenal!

Yip works great thanks you can also select subtract sky also works well

Thank you! Great information!

Wow!! Thank you Mark. Superb.

I agree with you - object is also my favourite tool. But I should get used to the colour picker, that’s my learning from today’s video. 👍🏼

Jaw drop over here. Just realized I'm running version 10.2 over here. Thanks for showing me what the future looks like

the selecting tool in LR became incredible. at the point that it makes look the one in PS primitive. I find myself savin hours every week

Great video. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing.

I did not know Lr had these. Now I need to try it out. Thank you for your videos. They are easy to understand which is awesome.

Another great video Mark. The use of the colour picker to modify the mask is an absolute game changer, thanks for that invaluable tip. Fantastic

Thanks Mark for this valuable insights.

Thanks Mark! Very enlightening, and you are right, I think this is a very under utilized capability within the masking environment! I’ve used it just briefly a couple of times in my masking workflow, and have seem to just forget about it! I’m going to bring this front and center now that I’ve seen this video as I can really see how it enhances the capabilities of speed and accuracy within the masking workflow! Thanks again! Great job!👍🏻😃

Thanks Mark! Awesome pointers!

Great tips on masking in LR. Thanks for sharing.

Great overview of object selection Mark and thank you as always. A thought about the iceberg, in particular, in this example, but it can apply to LR's object selection in general. The outer edge of the iceberg, where it touches the sky or water around it, ends up being a little too sharp/crunchy in terms of a transition, because the object selection is so precise; almost too precise. Especially when the subject is backlit or side-lit like this one, the light will naturally kind of "wrap around" the edge of the object, and that makes those sharp transitions at the edges a little strange. One way around it (literally) is to subtract with a high-feather brush at maybe 50% flow and just gently remove the sharp edge of the object mask so that there is a slightly more gradual transition between the edge of the object and the background.

Great tool indeed. Thanks for this video 🙏🙏

Great masking tips. This will save me so much time. I currently use the Add and Subtract feature to refine masks. I hope I can get it to work as quick and easy as you did.

Love this feature! Ive been using those tools for a while now and its so good for really fine tuning the selections. You can use the object selection and color range tool for so many different uses.

The best thing is combinations are not one trick ponies. Colour range might suit one picture, luminance another. Then a linear gradient placed in the right place can add shape - say on a windmill photographed on a day with flat light. It's only a couple of years ago the only shapes we had were radial and linear gradients!

Outstanding find. I use subject selection alot. BUT I didn't know about the color selection. Thank again for a great video.

Wow!!!!!!

Mark, This lesson is solid gold. WOW. Thank you.
