great tips and very useful. Thank you for sharing.
Your videos are extremely helpful, even for amateur photographers like myself who is just learning how to use LR, but LR for mobile. Thanks, and by the way, your English is very good! 😊
Thank you so much!
You are a true master of editing. You make it look so easy. Thank you.
Thanks a lot!
Perfect. A measured and considered approach to editing. Some people will still say it's too much, which is fine but (apart from the Photoshop bits) it's actually mostly dodging and burning, which has been in photography forever...just without the precision of modern techniques.
Christian, well done. Best Lightroom tutorials on CZcams.
Thank you so much!
Christian, The presentation of today is very comprehensive in terms of rule of third composition, Lightroom basics and curve, colour grading, then to Photoshop. For me, a beginner at photography and post processing, you inspire me a lot with your brilliant illustrations that are in a wonderful detailed way. The tree, the foreground and the sky, all is so well treated so that a splendid view is achieved. I am grateful for your help! Great thanks to you!
I'm very happy you liked the video, hope it can help with your photos! Thank you so much!
Very clear explanation, thanks
Very helpful, thank you
Again you smash three system 🤯 so good explanation, amazing effect. Love your tutorials 🔥🔥😍 thank You so much for share your Time with us🙏
Very happy you liked the video, thank you so much!
Love the edit I also on moody days when the sky is right I really make the clouds look dramatic adds more appeal imo, very nice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much!
Good tutorial
Super Christian👍Wie immer bewundere ich Deine Masking Skills
Vielen lieben Dank!
wonderfull !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gut erklärt, danke!
Danke für das Lob!
nice one :)
Tack!
Thank you so much for the donation, your support means so much to me!
Is there any reason why you dont do a sky mask and invert it to make the selection of the Foreground?
Yes! Inverting a sky selection would also select parts of the tree (which I of course could subtract as well). In the end both ways work, it comes down to which way you prefer to use
Wow master pp!
Thank you
Isn't that the Windows XP background? ;)
Almost haha
Thanks for the video and the excellent demonstration. However I can't say I agree with the wholesale removal of "distracting" objects.
Thanks for commenting! For me I wouldn't have liked the photo with these objects still in the frame. I dont have a problem with removing objects as long as it makes me like the photo more :-)
I’ve never yet watched something of yours and not learned a lot.
Instead of using cropping which reduces the size of the photo, it's better to increase the scale in transform
Thats indeed a possibilty
Actually, this is NOT true. The transform tool uses interpretation to size the photo, which dramatically softens the photo and can created unwanted artifacts. It automatically also uses one of the worst interpolation methods in photo editing.
It is best to crop the photo and leave that your native file. And then learn the best sizing and sharpening techniques.
Great video, But there are BIG problems in the transition areas with Lightroom masking. You will see the artifacts when making big enlargements. Also, it’s better to use a curve than “texture” or “clarity” values to the right. Both of which add a nasty micro sharpening halo effect that limits sharpening and quality after enlargement.
*Lastly “sharpening” is totally destructive to the enlargement!It’s the single worst thing to apply to an image before you enlarge it. If you’re gonna make it enlargement, turn off sharpening! And do that after the upsize.
Hey, thanks for the insight! I actually dont know much about upscaling photos, I never had to do that, so I cant say much about the effects on sharpening BEFORE upscaling, so appreciate your input here!
I guess the correct title of this video should have been something like “Not sure what masking is”
It’s not even a photo anymore, it’s a digital manipulation. You make up for your lack in camera composition by over working a the base image.
Maybe this channel isn't for you
I’ll add the skill of photography maybe isn’t for you with your over reliance on digital tools to make up for sub standard camera skills. The new photoshop generative update is perfect for those lacking baseline talent.
