Thanks again! Really enjoyed your comment. I should have one on the radial gradient up in a few days. Seems I spend more time trying to find the right phots(s) to use than I do recording the videos. Thanks for the comment!

Glad to help out. Wish I could have shown more, but I was starting to get a bit long winded. Thanks for the comments.

It’s always great to learn a new trick. I am still learning these little hidden gems a bit at a time. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you too! Glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you! Will do! I Appreciate your comments!

Thank you. I appreciate your kind words. Thanks for the comment.

Great suggestion! I know exactly what you mean. Maybe they will listen one day. Fingers crossed ?! Thanks for your comments.

No it is only a view when used in Loupe Overlay. The overlay is not save for export or printing.

You bet. Always good to go over out LR techniques and processes.

You are welcome! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for the comment.

Glad it was helpful! I will see about putting together a full editing session of one of your suggestions. Actually, it would probably be one of the more fun videos I have done in a while. Thanks for your comment!

The new tools are kind of finicky. They actually work fairly well in specific circumstances. I think with these tools you will need to know their limitations and well as what they can do. There is a happy middle ground somewhere. People have got to take those limitations into account when using the AI removal tools. I see the same thing when people first start using curves. They make such wide moves with curves and then complain the tool is worthless. It is not until they discover small minute changes are the key that they discover how powerful the tool is.

First, do you have photoshop installed? Second, make sure you have at least two (2) photos highlighted in you LR filmstrip. Finally, please check the menu: PHOTO> Edit in> the menu selection is at the very bottom of the loooong menu list. Just confirm you don’t have the layers selection at the very bottom of the EDIT IN submenu at the end of that long menu. There is a way to do this manually. Just want to confirm it is not in you menu list first.

@@easternshorephotoinstruction Yes, I could do it in Photoshop after a bit more research, but not migrate from Lightroom. Lightroom Classic will not install on my MacBook Pro for some reason.

That is really weird. Does it give you a reason or code why it won't install? Could you check your hard drive and see if it is already installed and maybe that is tripping it up. Check you MacHD>applications. and see if you see Lightroom listed there. If things look good there, I would call Adobe support and have them take a whack at it. If you have the Adobe Lightroom or Photo subscription, support is at no cost.

Thank you. I appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching! Thanks for the comment.

I will try to make time for this. I use a wacom tablet too. I have just stayed away from videos on the subject since so few people use them. But since you asked, I should go ahead and do one. Stay tuned.

Thank you!

Glad it was helpful! You never know what you don’t know until some shows you. I always have to just throw out a wide net and hope. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks…I am always hesitant to get too deep on this toll. It scares a lot of people. Glad you liked it.

Your welcome, sir. Hope things are doing well over in NL.

Thanks! Glad I could help you out!

You are welcome! Glad it helped you out. Thanks for the comments!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for the comments!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watch my channel and thanks for the comment! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out in the future.

Great to see your comments. I know some of those initial videos on the basics are a little old. I need to update them. But the basics always hold true and I am glad they are helping out. I tried to put together a nice group of videos to help everyone get a good start in Lightroom. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks so much for your comments!

Thank you so much! Please let me know if any areas of LR confound you. I will be glad to help you out. Tanks for the comments!

Thanks for the comment. My thoughts exactly. Most of these videos I produce really help refresh my memory. Sometimes we don't use them all that often and making videos just helps keep everything fresh. As well as help out people who are unfamiliar with the subject matter. A win, win situation.

@@easternshorephotoinstruction I think that's a good strategy Mickey. Cheers!

Glad you liked it! I hope it helps out. Haven't really found a real boring issue to use this feature. But you never know. Thanks for the comment!

You're very welcome! Glad it helped. Thanks so much for your comment.

Thanks. Glad to help out. Thanks for the comment!

Glad it was helpful!. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for your note and question. The boost slider is to boost your bokeh. If you don’t have much or any bokeh in your photo, you really wont see much effect when moving the slider. The best thing to do is to find a photo that has noticeable bokeh and then crank the boost slider up and back. Then you will see the change. Typically most photos don’t have much bokeh so you won’t see much difference when using the slider. But when you do have a good representation of bokeh you will notice the changes. Also, try it with different bokeh types. Some show up more prominently than others when using the boost slider. Thanks for the question. I hope the answer helps you out.

@@easternshorephotoinstruction Thank you once again for your help. Will try it when appropriate.

Thank you sir. Been a while since hearing from you. I hope you are healthy and getting out there in your beautiful country taking photos! Thanks for the comment!

Thanks. You sound like me…a long time user of Lightroom but still learning with each new upgrade or release. Thanks so much for you comments.

Great to hear! I hoped it didn’t get to long and drawn out covering all the options and demos. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks! Glad it helped you out! Thanks for the comment.

Wow, thanks! I do love using intersecting masks. It just brings out the best light! Thanks for the comment.

Great point! I will try to schedule some demo videos so you can see what I was trying to do. Thanks for the comment.

@@easternshorephotoinstruction Great. Cheers! 👍

I only have one catalog in my Lightroom setup. But I do have many collections. Is that what you are referring to?

@@easternshorephotoinstruction No. I also have many collections. I thought u had many catalogs - my mistake.

Great Idea. I will do more of that in future videos.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comments.

Yep. They can really help out differently depending on what you are trying to do.

Gotcha. I will try to remember that tip!

I really feel that the power of LR comes with the use of masking. Once you understand all the uses and implications of masking you photos will take on much better definition.

Glad it was helpful! I started teaching this after working with NUMEROUS people who lost photos when trying to import into LR. It was a method developed out of necessity

Thanks you so much. I appreciate your thoughts on this important subject.

@@easternshorephotoinstruction I just discovered your channel last week. I’ve been replaying while I work on my photos. Your videos are super useful and practical. You are teaching people how to salvage photos that we think are no good.

Thanks. I know what you mean. I was processing some photos today and I could not get the gen AI in LR to do what I wanted. I needed up moving to PS. Granted I was asking it to do a big move, it wasn't a complex task. ButPS didn't have any issues with it. I guess only time will tell how this thing goes.

Great...thanks for the tip! Thanks for leaving the comment/tip!
