The warming radial filter is such a great tip. Awesome video. “Theres ya dinner, top drawer” 👍
Hey Henry, having a lazy Sunday, a cuppa tea and a few too many biscuits. Just wanted to say that your videos are brilliant. Can't wait to see more. Your enthusiasm for being out in nature and beautiful scenery is very infectious and inspirational. Some excellent tips and tricks that are easy to understand for a beginner like myself. Thanks a mill!!!
I have to say your images are always spot on. I have learned over the years that don't overdo your post-processing. I have seen many images ruined because of this. Small changes is all that's required, so well done. Your process of editing is about the same as mine, no order to it. I have seen many videos that say to start top down, but I found this annoying. The reason is because once you half way down I found myself going back to the top to readjust. So I agree to pick what stands out first then work on it. Loved this video Henry.
The thing is Henry. Not all monitors are created equally. My laptop might display a great looking pic but if I go to print its color profile is off a fair bit. Best thing to do is get to know your printer. Setup test prints. Then you know what you see in post will be pretty close in print. I rarely print so im not bothered but you and people that wanna make money need to get that right. I've used Adobe since version 3 and its easy for me to use now. But when I teach people its amazing how complicated it is or seems. Most prefer the quickness of luminar. Its not cheating just different. Unless you blend images and don't own up. Then you become a fraud. So folks. Keep it real. Like Henry. If its a good image it won't need much done. Do the work with and in the camera. Saves a lot of time. Great video Henry as always. Next time suggestion is printing. That a bag of worms for ya lol. Merry Christmas everyone ❤
Thanks so much for always teaching me something new! Great video Henry and Happy New Year!
Love what you are doing Henry, thank you so much
A very good video. I like the focus on why you made certain changes. So many videos focus on the technique, but not when to use what.
Mel Davis from Sydney here. Thanks heaps for teaching me the power of the graduated filter. Wow!
Great vid Henry. great to see the magic coming to life and not every shot has to be perfect out of camera. All the best for 2021 from my family to you and yours Happy Christmas !!
Love these kind of videos, I really hope you do more. Part way through and learnt 3 tips already!
Merry Christmas henry thank you for a great year .... Top draw
Hey mate love this latest one its just what I asked you about last time I saw you ...
Its amazing that I have watched so many videos on lightroom post editing to try to pick tips up and hardly any of the ones I've watched explain it as simply and as effectively as you have in this one
Really enjoyed it mate
Thanks for sharing! Gives me hope 😊
Thanks Henry, another great video and great advice. It's easy to get carried away with post processing if you are new to it. I'm going to try your approach from now on. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Have a lovely Xmas & 2021 Henry.
Great stuff Henry! Thanks!
Really enjoyed this video. Love your work and this editing video has given me real hope for some of the images I have captured. Thanks Henry!
Great video there Henry...
Post processing is a delicate operation, and it's so easily overdone. Nice to see that you keep it simple to get a natural, yet effective/dramatic final image.
Keep up the good work 👍🏻
yup, one can post process into oblivion if they get so inclined, so if it is kept to straightforward gradual refinements, it may save a lot of overcompensation, anxiety, and overthinking, again into oblivion🙌
Thanks very much for this, I've watched a number of videos about LR and PS, I learned more for this than any others I've watched. (Never knew about the back slash key!) I'm sure I'll watch this a few times over and over, so much to learn. Thank you Henry.
I love your videos Henry, thanks for the chat about changing cameras as a beginner myself I found it very helpful.
That's what I like about you Henry you take every level from experienced to beginners into account
In your videos. Keep up the great work 👍.
Really enjoyed the post-processing. Thanks henry!
Thanks Henry. I also really liked the warming radial filter. Beautiful.
Great video pal, thanks for everything you've done over lockdown it's kept a lot of us sane who can't travel.
Brilliant, really enjoyed this video. Nice pace so easy to follow. I hope you do some more post-processing videos. Thank you.
Thanks for doing this Henry...picked up some hints and tips and some keyboard shortcuts
Thanks Henry, great video good learning for me.
Thanks Henry some good tips for light room newbies, for me spending time in post production is almost as enjoyable as the shoot, same nerves but that fantastic feeling when someone says what a lovely shot
Love it lad. Editing is definitely a fun part for me too 🙏🙏🙏
i waited all day for this video and the wait was well worth it.. Thank you for sharing how you actually processed the images.. Love them both but if i had to choose one it would be the limestone pavement, absolutely top drawer..
Hi Henry another great education video. You make it look so simple, but just like the photoraphy we need to practice these skills. Thanks this one has been especially helpful to me
Always helpful mate. More of these would be great 👍
Simple, efficient and very instructive! Thank you!
Some great tips. Thanks👍👍👍👍👍
Great work Henry, post editing has always been an issue for me, some of your tips have helped demystify the process
great stuff I've learned a lot again, thanks Henry, I will say I'm not a PS or LR user but the lessons here are transferable to other software so I've gained some valuable knowledge here
Great video Henry, couple of lovely shots mate I've just starting using Lightroom so found video a great help keep up the great work and the limestone pavement is definitely going on my list of locations to visit.
Great video! Very helpful. Also confirmed that I’ve been on the right track all along.
Thats the beauty of post processing, it's like fashion and comes down to personal tastes and what you feel comfortable with. One of my objectives when entering lockdown in March was to embrace Photoshop and use it more than Lightroom as I didn't think I pushed my boundaries enough in Lightroom. I now find myself using layers and masks more in Photoshop to make small incremental changes to build up my image to the point I am satisfied with it. If you are interested Henry a recent video by Blake Rudis on his f64 Academy channel demonstrated an alternative approach to dodging and burning using Linear Light blend mode when in Photoshop. Enjoyed seeing your approach and hearing your thought processes on your processing
Keep em' coming mate... Helpful and interesting for I do enjoy a bit of post processing though I only do it on my phone (don't own a laptop /Pc yet. )
Bit late in watching this and finding your channel. Just wanted to say I found that really informative and you didn't waste time. Great video.
Quite a logical way of editing Henry, I'd be good viewing to show the cleaning of your dust spots too. 😁
It's good to take breaks when editing to reset your eyes, maybe even come back the next day. It's not always obvious when you're overdoing things.
Hi Henry or that was brilliant I kept stopping you and going to one of my photos and doing what I did not know you could do. that's brilliant thanks for that....
Thank you, learnt a lot.
Another great video mate 👍
Thanks for the video, Henry. I vote for more of them about processing, though I'm pretty sure your in-the-field enthusiasm is the main draw for many people!
Great to see your workflow - the big thing I learned is to try making adjustments in the order that'd have greatest impact, addressing the biggest issues first. It's easy to get into a rut of following a standard workflow, and overdo things.
I was surprised to see you skip 'Use profile corrections' - I use that by default, then occasionally turn it back off if I don't like it for some reason. It won't straighten a wonky horizon, but it'll correct a curved one, and - relevant here! - it can reduce (or hide) blur at the edges of a wide-angle shot.
I feel like I'm partly responsible for this video, Thanks heaps Henry for being REAL! I'm going to go fire up LR now and stop watching videos lol. Thanks again Henry you're a champion.
Learned a lot tonight Henry. I never use dodge and burn. I will now. Thanks.
Good stuff Henry, im still trying to find my way around editing,thanks.
Hi Henry, enjoyed your post processing on those two image's you have taken! I use LR & PS myself just to try to make small adjustments as digital cameras just cannot see as well as our eyes, & see the full dynamic range as well! I do enjoy the PP as its great to see how an image can end up, but not to totally destroy it! Great video, well done! You have a very nice way about you!
Two weeks ago I upgraded to Adobe CC to access RAW files on my new Canon mirrorless and greater controls in LR. Your videos are making my head explode (in a good way?!). Thanks Henry, more please!
First editing video I've watched. Definitely worth doing. Those pictures popped when finished.
very very nice! keep it up.
Quality Vlog on your post processing Henry 👌🏼
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice one henry lad. You've taught this old git a new trick. Never too old to learn eh.
Thanks Henry. Always inspiring. I purchased Affinity Photo when it was half price during the first lockdown but have not made the time to learn to use it as yet. Perhaps through January and February might be a good opportunity. I use apps on my iphone and the basic editing tool on Photos. My camera has the ability to focus stack (Lumix GX9) so need to find some tutorials to learn how to use that. So much to learn.
I just enjoy getting out with the camera. I have found your woodland photography inspiring and your tips about staying local and revisiting locations really helpful.
Keep living the dream Henry!
Fantastic. Really useful. I use affinity photo 2, but I have all those tools and will give it a go.
In this age of heavily over-saturated HDR processing, your minimalist editing approach is very refreshing. It seems to be a (in my opinion) bad habit among hobby photographers like me to produce heavily overdone unnatural skies especially, whether sunsets or storm clouds. FB and Instagram are overrun by such images. Thanks.
Fantastic Henry. Very informative. Would love to see one on putting together a Panorama if possible 👍
Keep up the good work 👍
TOP DRAWER must be nearly full now 😁
Yes more post processing please
Will watch when home from work Henry 👌🏼
Nice one Richie I appreciate your support :)
@@HenryTurnerphoto your very welcome. Your works incredible you make it easy to keep being supportive :-)
Great a new video thanks Henry..have a great Sunday 🇬🇧
@@HenryTurnerphoto just purchased the Ebook
@Henry Turner, the PDF files return an error.
Excellent video. The problem with top-down is it encourages unnecessary (and possibly harmful) use of tools. This is a far better approach especially as you're focusing on the emotion of the shot, not indulging in a technical exercise.
I am little late to the show, but it was really, really great video. I was never much into landscape cause I could never get "that" look out of my photos. Don't have issues with post of machine photographs, but landscape was always a big WTF? for me :) I like hiking, but I shot then mostly details: flowers, ruins (lots of ww2 bunkers around here). And here you are giving detailed explanation what and how works for landscape. Great vid, thanks, I may be trying some landscape shots and what I learned here next time I visit Baltic shores :D
You should do more videos of your edits. So simple yet effective. I think from watching this i over do it and miss some simple tricks. Thank you. Great work
I love simple edits Henry, I do enjoy post processing but I try not to spend too much time on it. My 'rule of thumb' is, not to spend more time processing an image than it took me to take it in the first place. If an image needs too much 'work' then I didn't do my job in the field. Love these 'tutorials' top drawer!!
Instructional video was excellent, a little fast but I replayed. Very helpful for me a beginner
Having watched quite a lot of different photographers editing photos it's interesting to see how different their styles/workflow can be. For instance Nick Page does the bare minimum in terms of global adjustments preferring to use local adjustments. Another, I forget who, nearly always does the adjustments in the order they are set out. in Lightroom saying they were intended for use that way. Some never touch sharpening whilst others do or use dynamic contrast. I've come to the view that a photo is a bit like a room in a new unpainted house. No 2 people will decorate a room in exactly the same way as they have their own preferences and pet peeves. My view is that in the same way a photographer is at liberty to photograph what they like they can post-process how they like. Those who want an HDR look can do that and those wanting a painterly look can equally do that. It's then down to the viewers personal taste...no right or wrong as you mentioned. I do agree with Nick Page though in saying a photograph is 50% photo & 50% post-processing. I also agree with you that I enjoy the post-processing and find it therapeutic.
You didn’t move your camera mate it’s called focus breathing when it’s focused on different parts. Nice workflow man top drawer
Great video Henry very interesting love the images. Interesting to see you also have Raya pro, how do you get on with it? I found it a bit complicated to start with but now I think I am a whole lot more comfortable.
Hello Henry, very nice video, i learned a lot! But do you never use sharpening?
Would really enjoy seeing the second image as B&W.
At about 16:35 image alignment is addressing “focus breathing” as well. You may not have moved your camera at all between exposures. If that’s the case I would expect a border of transparent pixels all the way around the image. I have some focus stacks waiting to be processed. I’ll have to pay close attention to see what actually happens. Thanks for sharing your post processing workflow; many instructive moments.
Hi Henry
I'm impressed with your talent and your vision.
A lot of your post-processing went whoosh over my head.
Question: What is the difference between PhotoShop and LightRoom?
I'm also now pondering the contrast between the original scene (light, colours etc.) and your finished product (yes, better overall, but a work of art rather than strict photographic record?)
As I am now retired, I have the time but not the money to invest in tutorage.
But as a lover of the countryside, far removed in a SE London outer suburb, I shall continue to enjoy and 'LIKE' your videos.
When you finish your editing on one photo do you save your presets so you can save a bit of time when siting down at the imac/pc
Hello Henry, great video again! Learning from you every video. Something I noticed, why aren't you using the photo-stacking in LR? It has a function for HDR and Panorama. Or doesn't that work for focus-stacking?
Great video, loved the simplicity of your editing. Real joy to watch and to learn from. Would love to see more of your editing tricks and tips. Have a great Christmas.
Thankyou very much for this informative and instructional video.
A question I have is how do you know if lightroom or photoshop should be opened first in order to make the appropriate corrections or does it really matter: and when you are ready to send to print, does it matter if you're in photoshop or lightroom immediately before printing? Thankyou.
I think your sensor could do with a good clean mine was that bad but now its spotless. When you have had your sensored cleaned goto setup Menu scroll to the right-select Clean at Shutdown. This will vibrate your sensor and clean as you switch off the camera. It save a lot of time on the cleaning. I am glad I set it up like that on my D7200.If I dont catch you before hand Have a Merry Christmas, I hope you are not in covid Tier 4, as I am so Christmas with the family is out this year will be staying safe in my own bubble. Stay safe-stay well.
That auto-clean is useful (it's 'on' by default on my Canon) but can't handle anything vaguely wet/sticky, so a good blast of air helps occasionally, and I clean the sensor something like annually (as required, rather than scheduled!). I'm happy to do it myself, but I appreciate it's not for everyone - don't take risks! 🙏
Hi mate love the channel, out of interest what editing software do you use?
Regards
Jon
Great enjoyed it . And it was helpful not sure but am I 2 years behind?
Enjoyed this one immensely, great pace in how you educate the viewer. One question I have is, like most you focus on Lightroom and Photoshop, which are subscription based tools. What are your views on the quality of using Affinity Photo, which has a one off payment?
Darktable would be a good free alternative to Lightroom apparantly. It's available for Mac and Pc.
czcams.com/video/RtCRqVDQxJw/video.html
Brill 👍🏻
The issue with post processing is that it subjective to the viewer and the end result may not suit everyone. So some may not like or agree with your changes. But you can of course make different versions of the same image.
Albert how often do you edit your photo's with an audience looking on? I know Henry is in this video but the rest of us mostly do this in private so others opinions matter very little. The viewer can either like my photo's or not regardless of the edit.
@@davorocket2825 exactly my point....individual adjustments to the shadows, highlights, contrast and colours etc are individual and vastly different by every person. We all end up making i ages that we prefer....others may not. Cheers.
Great video Henry, fantastic to see how you go about Post Processing for the first time, I hope you'll do this again? One thing though and I know this isn't anything wrong with your original photo or anything to do with the way you've processed the photo, but in the second shot, every time I look at it I can`t get my eyes away from the boulder in the front!. Now maybe its just one of those optical illusion things, or maybe its the way I look at things, but all I can see is that boulder in the front, and to me, it looks slightly opaque and as I say we`ve seen you process this and you haven't gone anywhere near Opacity sliders anywhere, but to me that front bolder almost looks as though its slightly opaque and you can see through it to the boulder below (its the same boulder though isn't it?) and to the grass! As I say its just odd and I guess its just some weird optical illusion/trick of the mind thing. I keep walking away and going back to that photo and my eyes are drawn straight to that `oddity` every time! LOL
Great vid as always, just a quick question, you did most of the edit in LR and then did doge and burn in PS, is there any advantage to doing this in PS as opposed to LR as that function is also avail, thanks in advance
Whitby, Ontario, Canada!
Henry, to supplement your thinking with regard to post-processing, would it be possible to show your Lightroom/Photoshop printing settings? The latter especially has numerous options!
I currently don't have Photoshop or Lightroom, but am interested to know how you decide which programme to use please?
Maybe you know this already. I used to do 'o' for range masking but then in some video someone showed pressing 'Alt' while dragging the slider to see the mask live (same stuff as sharpen mask). I find it handier as you can see the mask edges better in my opinion.
the same dodge and burn - you could have done in lightroom, so why ps?
I initially thought the same thing but then wondered if in LR you could just select the dodge highlights only and burn shadows only. Correct me if I am wrong but I think in LR it selects everything that is brushed including highlights and shadows.
@@andrewthomson7367 yes, your wrong. easy with Lr as well.
Interesting video Henry. Do you stack raw or JPG and if the latter, have you first developed raw to JPG or shooting JPG? Also have you experience using in camera stacking in comparison?
I'm not Henry 😊 but always RAW for me - use the lossless format as much as possible. I'd use .jpg if it's all I had, but I wouldn't process RAW to .jpg before stacking.
@@ministry7149 thanks 🙂
About time you did another youtuber team up?
In my opinion, the content and the message are the most important,seeing the world is subjective,post-production is also subjective.Too much in instructional videos,there is technology, equipment and too little about what photography should be. But that's my opinion :-)
Exactly.I have never wached any tutorial video and i have never spent more than 500 backs for a camera..
All of these shots with a 400 bucks camera and 80 backs lens.

Think I’d have been tempted to go square with this image 🤔
Hi have you tried skylum luminar 4 as I think its a cheaper option then photoshop price, I think photoshop is way over priced as there are other software that you buy and own outright and can buy the key of ebay for a few pounds. Just a thought harry. Keep up the excellent work you do
Never tried them but they do look great!!
I like post-processing, too. It makes mute feel like a creator.
I dont have lightroom, photoshop as I've been using ACDsee however the ACDsee system has only just got to photo stacking, so maybe lightroom is the way to go
If you’re happy to spend the money.
I’ve bought 2 versions of LR in 10 years at a cost of £2-300. Had I been on subscription it would’ve cost £1,200. 2 versions of, say Luminar, would cost £150. If you only want to do light-touch processing, Adobe make it expensive.
And don’t forget that as a pro, Henry can set the cost off against tax.
@@nigelmadeley7798 that's why i'm sticking with the ACDsee that i have its about 6 years old now and for what I do its fine. Though i would like to do photo stack and stitch panorama. I tried the serif program but didn't like how it processed files. There is no way would i subscribe costs me enough to subscribe to AutoCAD for my job each year.
wonderful videos. Very much enjoy your enthusiasm without the shouting and speed speaking of so many others people. FYI, the sound on this one seems a bit muddy.
Oh, now I really enjoyed that tutorial. I learnt to use Photoshop back in the mid 80's with Photoshop 4 and all the way to 7. I don't use Macs these days, but my wife has a MacPro but no Photoshop on it. I use Linux and will have to find the equivalent software to play with. I know of Gimp and Darktable off hand and there are a few others to play with. Let's find out. Thanks Henry.
