When cropping hold down Shift and drag with the left mouse button to move the crop selection box. Hit f on the keyboard to zoom to fit when finished cropping.
You can use selections in the Color Toning panel to grab a sky by masking using luminosity. You can also use a chromatic aberration correction for your lens.
11:40 HSV Equalizer in RT is what you want there. It's more powerful than the sliders because you can have as many hue control points as you want. Sliders can be more convenient/ergonomic though for quick adjustments.
I am an ON1 user. I tried Raw Therapee last night. Find it difficult to use, different user interface. After watching your video this morning, it is easier now! Ha. Thanks. How do you find Dark Table vs Raw Therapee? Trying to decide which one to use.
Dark Table is great, but a bit overwhelming! I want to learn more with it, but I find it difficult to make time. I will check out ON1. Thanks for watching. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop I had my first dive into RT editing a photo yesterday. It is not as intuitive as ON1. I used GIMP in the early days. Later switched to ON1 as GIMP does not accept raw files directly (via RT). I prefer ON1 as it can deal with Nikon raw files directly. ON1 can be expensive for a hobbyist with a yearly upgrade fee. So now looking for an alternative. I tried GIMP again, better than the old GIMP. But features-wise it is years behind ON1. Eg masking in GIMP is so tedious while AI is used in ON1. Though not as expensive as Photoshop etc, hope ON1 will be hobbyist affordable. Ha.
Thanks for the review. I still have Lightroom 3. I still have it because I do not want to pay a monthly fee. I assume the latest versions of RawTherapee and Lightroom are much better?
I haven't used Lightroom 3, Paul, but the developments in LrC over the last couple of years have been very useful - particularly the powerful selective editing tools and Denoise AI feature. I would imagine this also makes it a big improvement over Lightroom 3 too! At the end of the day though, it's about what works for you. Thanks for watching. 😊
Hi Rob, i could do with some tips on lightroom/printing..as i think stated on one of my messages on instagram..I'm fairly new to photography..I've done it for a little over a year now..but editing very new like a month or so into it. Now I've edited a photo (the squirrle on at back of a tree eating some nuts) how i like it, but come to print it out and it's incredibly dark..i know the photo on screen is back lit,so i added some exposure ect so it's even brighter on screen and the photo still comes out dark? or the dark areas i want dark come out incredibly bright..do you know why/how to stop this?
It's a tough one because there are lots of variables when it comes to printing - the edit settings are just one thing. Your printer, inks, paper and colour management settings will all play a role too. What printer do you have? If you're able to get some ICC profiles for the specific papers you use, that can be a big help. I was able to get some from Fotospeed for the Epson XP-970. You print off some test prints on the papers you like and send them the results and they send you the profiles to install.
@@Robert-Bishop It's not a specific printer for photos as such i don't think..its a printer and scanner all in one. Its a Epson XP-235. I have printed a fair few photos out before and they turned out ok.. but this woodland/squirrel shot comes out nothing like it does on screen. used to be my sisters before she passed away. and the print quality on the previous photos i printed out are pretty exceptional for the price this printer cost her (at least i think so)
Before expressing your opinion, please familiarize yourself with all RT options. Rawthepee has more features than Lt. All configurations can be customized. For example, RT has 6 histograms and RGB, HSV and LaB measurements that can be separated, Lt cannot. RT has L*a*B* regulations.... etc and much more. I refer you to materials by Andy Astbury and others. These are not similar processing programs. LT is a loupe TR is a microscope.
When cropping hold down Shift and drag with the left mouse button to move the crop selection box. Hit f on the keyboard to zoom to fit when finished cropping.
Thanks for the tips. 🙂
Is there a way to block the crop once it's done ? I often change the crop when moving the mouse. It's very annoying.
Oh thanks To All.. im Gonna Try this Alternative To Adobe

Many thanks for the info. 🙂
I'm using the Windows version and as yet haven't had a crash. Famous last words no doubt.
Haha, good luck! Thanks for watching. 😊

I think i could really do with having a course on lightroom

I'm sorry but this application isn't appealing at all.
No need to apologise, Phil, - I'm not trying to sell it! Thanks for watching. 😊
