You explained intersect perfectly, thank you. Your entire presentation is beautifully done.
I've watched a ton of masking tutorials, and this one's by far the best. Thanks for taking the time to delve so deeply into the process. I not only learned a lot about the Intersect tool, but also many other Lightroom and Photoshop features while watching your fascinating workflow. It will forever change the way I work in Lightroom. Nicely done!
Thats so great to hear, thanks a lot!
Excellent explanation of the intersect tool! The entire edit was very well presented and concise as well as tasteful. Your integration of a lot of tools in Lightroom and Photoshop was very instructive. Your efforts are much appreciated.
I have viewed different intersect vids, and the concept for me, has been hard to comprehend /master/understand.....I have to tell you, seeing you make these edits and most importantly "why" you made these edits. This has been one of the best videos that teaches how to use it. My understanding of the intersect tool is so much better. Absolutely beautiful work! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much, really great to hear that!
Thanks for this, very helpful!
Great video Christian! Easy to follow and you really show the power of the intersect masking tool. I also appreciate that you offer the raw file to download and follow along at home! Thanks!
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me!
Great info! Excellent presentation! Thanks!
The best explanation of features😊❤ thankfully noted
Incredible tutorial as usual ! Thanks !
I have watched many of your videos and see your method of landscape photo editing being very easy to understand and consistent. You have revealed all the secrets of masking which is very important for adjusting a landscape photo professionally. Liked and subcribed. Thank you.
That means a lot to me, thank you so much!
While masking, press the Alt key (presumably Option on a Mac) and this will turn add/subtract into an Intersect button, which I find easier than clicking the 3 dots (which are called an ellipsis). It is not actually very hidden.
Thanks for pointing this out, I didnt know about that! Hopefully, I will remember when using intersect next time :-)
No nonsense tutorial, well done. And, thanks
Thanks Christian, always great.
The when to denoise debate is interesting. I’ve done it at the start but I feel better doing it AFTER completing the global adjustments (exposure, shadows, clarity and contrast etc) but before masking and cleanup. Partly, the reason is it’s easier to see; but also I wonder about adding noise after using the tool.
I don’t really know if it makes a difference but I feel more comfortable that way.
What I noticed doing it at the very start: Lightroom will start to lag hard when doing adjustments sometimes, so that might be a reason to do denosing later on on weaker systems
I had never heard about intersect. Thanks for spending time showing us.
I have no idea how I found You, but your work explanation is so so good 🤯 Love your explanation. So easy, so effective 😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very happy to hear that, thank you so much!
Very interesting. Thank you.
I love it. Thanks!
Just to comment before I watch, I use the intersect quite often and it is very useful, just have to make sure the initial masks are well refined before using it 👍
Thankyou, so many amazing techniques.
Thank you!
Thanks for the lesson.
wonderful. thank you
whenever someone offer a raw image to go along with it I subscribe. Raw Imaged are gold .
Thanks a lot, hope you have fun with the raw file :-)
As always you did a great job with you clear explanations. I vome away from the tutorial with more knowledge.
Thank you so much!
All this time and I never new this , what a time saver!
Hope you will have some fun with this :-)
Thank you very much!
Great! I hope they will include this in the Lightroom Mobile version as well! Which, by the way, became extremely powerful and versatile recently! In my trips, I find it very comfy to work on the tablet (or simply having a coffee on the couch) instead of the laptop. Except for the plug-ins, it's 90% the same Lightroom.
Thank you for commenting! I might give the mobile Version a try sometime in the future just for fun :-) However, missing a tablet and dont want to do that on my tiny phone haha
thank you!
thanks christian 💪🏻
Another inspiring video. It would be great if you could make some videos on how to use the TK panels.
Thank you! I will do a video on the TK panel in the future for sure. I jut want to be mor efficient and experienced with it before doing that :-)
This has come at the right time {I think} as I am trying to do a backlit shot of buffalo crossing the road...... I have never used the intersect tool and am going to try now. Thankyou.
Thanks for the comment, hope this video will be helpful!
@@ThePhlogPhotographyI think I have the right idea however have not got it right and where the sun is its still too bright..... am going to have to practice a lot more I think.......
Excellent editing Christian, I find as well the intersect function to be the most useful masking tool. One suggestion perhaps, if I may. I would perhaps tone down the glow effect in front of the church, as the sun seems to be well below the horizon. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you very much! I know that glow / bloom effect is a bit heavy, I just really love the look of it :-)
Thank you....@@ThePhlogPhotography
this is the best video how do use intersect tools. ❤ I have to subscribe now
Thank you very much!
Great end result.
Thank you!
Nice tips. I think you should have done more in the water though. The water is supposed to be a reflection of the sky, and it doesn't look like it matches. I would have warmed up the water and bumped up the contrast a bit.
Another great tutorial!
I was wondering about your sharpening technique. Why is this better then just using sharpening and mask sliders? What do you achieve by dropping the radius and raising the detail?
Thanks a lot!
In general it just gives better sharpening results (radius is just the radius around an edge that get sharpened, so smaller radius = finer sharpening)
Thank you! Very informative. Will this be the best way to separate hair on the edge of the head and background? When I select the background, it's also selecting some of the hair.
Thanks for the comment! Unfortunately, I dont think Lightroom can detect hair that good (but to be honest I also never tried that). You could try using the select subject mask then subtract a select subject mask (sounds strange but it works) and see if you get better results :-)
The magic of masking.
very very advance masking tutorial especially intersecting you are great
Thanks so much!
cooles Video vielen Dank :) ich bevorzuge dennoch PS in Kombination mit dem TK-actions panel - das was du hier zeigst ging dort schon vor 5 Jahren oder länger, das was heute das TK9 Panel kann ist LR schon wieder meilenweit voraus - ich finde zudem dass bei LR die Masken irgendwie so komisch versteckt sind, finde ich nicht symphytisch zu Arbeiten, die PS-Ebenen sind da wesentlich übersichtlicher, und auch einfacher zu handeln, egal ob eine Maske nochmals maskieren, oder wieder verwenden, oder Effekte verdoppeln etc. etc. - finde ich einfach angenehmer. außerdem ist finde ich die Luminanzmaske für Landschaft nach wie vor der King, und da bietet TK9 wesentlich bessere Anpassungsmöglichkeiten als LR. Wenn du es nicht kennst teste es aus
Gebe dir da absolut recht, PS ist klar überlegen vor allem mit Plug Ins wie dem TK Panel. Mir macht es trotzdem immer wieder Spaß Photoshop Effekte und Masken in Lightroom nachzubauen (oder es zumindest zu versuchen :D )
Klasse Christian👍
Wieder eine tolle Bearbeitung von Dir. Wo ist das denn am Bodensee. Ich komme nicht drauf. Obwohl auch von dort komme.
Vielen lieben Dank! Das ist in Wasserburg bei Lindau :-)
Heel mooi maar zal hem nog wel een paar keer moeten kijken 😅
Enchance = enhance 😉
I wonder what is the image size increase after all these edits.
You can just hold ctrl and it shows up
Hasst Du gut getan. Danke ! (In english you pronouce PHOTO not Fôôôôôôtôôôô with a strong german accent 😄😄 aber gerne wieder !
Danke! Das ist eins der Wörter mit denen ich Probleme bei der englischen Aussprache habe :)
I dont know.looking how y edit,maybe i will give up photography.
Way to complicated for me .
Anyway , very good video.
Its really not that complicated once you spent a bit of time trying things, I promise you will quickly get used to it!
@@ThePhlogPhotography keep going with yours videos,at least I am learning lot.
why not just change the sky temperature on sky mask without making a new gradien mask ?
Then you would change the whole sky which is not what I want. I wanted the top to be colder and the sky getting warmer towards the brighter parts of it
Hidden?
Nicht falsch verstehen bitte, ich möchte nur "helfen" enhance versuch so auszusprechen: " inhens "
Danke für dein Kommentar! Der Fehler passiert mir häufig, merke das selbst immer leider erst beim schneiden des Videos :D
@@ThePhlogPhotography is ja nicht schlimm, dachte vielleicht hilft es. Soll kein riesen Kritik Punkt sein. Deine Englisch skills sind top,gebau wie deine edeting Videos dir mit ab und an schon was hiofreiches gezeigt haben in Photoshop :)
The end result is amazing but at the end, I hope you don’t claim that you took that picture…. You created a picture 😂
Methods are very useful but it was way over worked
different strokes for different folks :-)
All these hardwork to get 7 likes on my instagram 😅😅😅
Dont chase likes on Instagram, its a dead plattform anyways :-) Do it to have fun and learn!
