    Pat, this was a fabulous video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I struggle in editing my own images, but by having videos like this one and others, it shows me the thinking and process of editing. As a visual learner, this really helps!

    Pat, you're one of my favorite photography and editing CZcamsrs right now. Your stuff is so clean, clear, and just aligns with my photography philosophy. Love your educational series too. Keep up the good work and don't stop creating.

    Amazing work! This has taught me to slow down with my editing, and be more mindful of my desired subject. I speed through it and make all decisions on the fly. No more!

    We need more of this! I have watched this for like Idk? About twenty-seven times now? We need more end-to-end workflow! From landscape to portrait to street! Awesome frickin' style btw. I like how you utilize camera-color calibration in lightroom.

Your style makes it easier to listen and learn from you, so thank you for sharing your knowledge!

    New to photography. An honest assessment from someone who is still scared shooting in full manual mode..... I felt this is by far the finest, the most comprehensive tutorial I have seen on CZcams that gave you a glimpse, an insight into what a professional is thinking when he starts his post production workflow.
    Absolutely loved this tutorial and would love to see more tutorials showing you doing different types of edits.

    That was a great tutorial and incredible finished product! Thank you for sharing, and for talking so candidly about what works for you. I often wonder why I'm using certain tools, and will just chock it up to "because I think it looks better". I appreciate you going in depth explaining the calibration and HSL settings which have always been intimidating and something I simply avoid.

    I really love the video and I learned a lot from this and I'm also happy to know that our workflows are matching in some sense. I like your visual aesthetics, although according to my visual aesthetics, I wouldn't completely erase off purples. By uniting them with blues. still, I love the final image
