Editing your photography can sometimes be a long and tiring task, we should enjoy editing our work, but its quite easy to find ourselves fighting against our editing programmes for days on end trying to get the best results. In this video I'm going through 5 of the very BEST photography editing tips I could possibly give you. Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop are my editing programmes of choice but most of these tips will apply to any editing programme out there. I have learnt these of many many years of doing photography and editing, and while they're are not all 'technical tips' such as how to best colour grade your photos, or how to properly use the tone curve, they are the ways in which I have made my photo editing workflow the most efficient, enjoyable and accurate when it comes to getting fantastic editing results.
Thanks for watching / supporting my channel!

Hit like for the most none editing, editing video on CZcams 😂👍 - working hard on loads of great videos coming very soon!
Although João Cabral uses vignetting quite extremely, I mostly like his pictures.
@@arneheeringa96 yes I agree, mostly on black and white as well which always works better than colour for vignetting
Quality post, helpful tips, clearly presented. Am a tad surprised at lens correction being topside - if LR has profiles for all/most of your lenses, why not make this an automatic adjustment? If color accuracy is a prime consideration, why not begin with White Balance before other color adjustments?
Cool tip about Alt/Option for precise color adjustments.
Suggestion: For clearer tip count presentation in future vids, use text overlays or separate title slides.
BTW, any Italian heritage in your background? Extensive hand gestures hint at it.😊 Cheers!
@@paulm8157 Thanks so much Paul! To your questions.. I have an import preset for lens corrections that also applies a couple of specific changes I make to every single one of my photos (IE Clarity drop etc) -- so that gets applied on import, but that would not apply to anybody else watching this video as its specific to my photos, thats why I spoke about lens corrections as a separate thing -- And I will adjust white balance before hue/sat/lum, thats why the basic panel is above colour on my side bar (having said that i RARELY mess with white balance as I get it how I want it in camera haha! But if im adding taking away colour to a huge portion of the image such as the sky example in this video, or a model in a scene, that will come first to create the slate I want to work on :)
@@paulm8157 lol just noticed the Italian part of your comment upon second read, I don't know for certain as my grandma has never told us the 'truth' - but there is 'something else' in my family tree, so you may be onto something there hahahah!
Great video. I especially like the tip of isolating colors when using the HSL sliders.
@@MsOnce4all thank you very much! Yeah it does wonders when you get used to using that on every photo!
Love this. I asked you for some editing tips a couple of weeks ago and glad I did. As suspected, your approach to editing is in my opinion similar to your approach to photography, minimalist but highly effective. Although I’ve been taking pics for decades going back to a fully manual camera, I’m fairly new to Lightroom. I’ve watched many editing tutorials on LR but most go way over the top for me, More masks than a Viennese Ball. Unfortunately some of the processes were too quick for me so I’ll probably have to watch this two or three times but the content was exactly what I’m looking for so thank you.
You did indeed Alan, I'm also including some editing in the next 15 photos 1 location (I think you asked if I could edit a couple from the day If I remember correctly?) -- But yes you're spot on there, very minimal editing for the most part, I do like a good spot heal/clone stamp now and again but that might be as crazy as it gets hah! unless I'm editing images for a specific project that require more changes. -- You're very welcome feel free to watch as many times as you fancy (that helps my channel after all hah! 🤣)
Sitting here listening to you use a joke example about photographing garage doors, and I have to do that regularly for my social pages for work because I spray garage doors regularly 😂 😬 😂
@@jamesmcconnon2 hahahahahha😂 I guess it wasn’t as random as I thought it was then! 😂
I like your Tips, especially the one where you say to maintain color accuracy.
I think that's an important thing, too. Why would I try to make a photo taken in the spring look like a photo taken in the winter?
If I was in that place, at that particular time, and I decided to take that photo, it's because that photo is what I wanted it to look like. If I wanted it to be different, I would not have taken it at that location or I would have returned to that location at a different time of year.
Another thing that I personally dislike is to replace the sky in post production.
It has happened to me many times that I have to travel several hundred kilometers to reach a particular place to photograph it. Of course, I expected to find good light and a beautiful sky.
But once I got there, unfortunately I didn't find beautiful light, this definitely made me sad and a little angry. But every time I say to myself "hey! that's part of the game, too, maybe next time I'll find a better light".
I took some pictures for personal memory and I went home.
In my opinion we should learn to accept frustration, things don't always turn out the way we want them to, and that applies to photography as well.
Obviously everyone is free to express themselves as they wish with their photography, I am not judging anyone, this is just my personal point of view.
Sorry for this very long message and I apologize for my English. i am using a translator
@@Gianluca.Mulone thank you very much for watching! I’m glad you liked the tips. The translator worked wonders by the way, no mistakes! - I agree with you, sky replacement is not photography anymore, I can sometimes understand why people do it, especially if they have taken photos somewhere they cannot return to. But it’s not something I would do. Like you say if the conditions are not right then look for something else!
nicely done
@@mjmdo07 thank you so much!
Same features are also in Photoshop Camera Raw.
@@kimjohnson313 yes true! not sure why anybody would use camera raw instead of Lightroom though hahah
@@DISTANTMEDIA Because its better especially when combine with Photoshop. You don't need to deal with any of the importing your photos and Lightroom database foolishness.
@@kimjohnson313 The entire point of Lightroom, is that’s it’s a none destructive archived photo storage where you sort, store and mass edit. Why would a photographer with 10000s of photos be importing them one by one to camera raw haha. Plus you just right click > edit in photoshop while inside Lightroom when you want to take it to photoshop. It keeps all raw files in one place in proper folders where you can change edits at any time - but if camera raw works for you that’s awesome everyone has different ways of working, that doesn’t make lightroom foolish, given it’s the industry standard I would say it’s far from foolish😂
What key is "auto option" for Windows?
It will be the ALT key on windows if you meant the HSL visualisation :)
@@DISTANTMEDIA Thank you!
@@Lightwriter1 no problem!!
