  • Learn how to edit car photos using lightroom only, while presets are nice to have yet they are limited if you don't understand how lightroom works.
    Every car photo is unique, therefore every lightroom edit is unique too! In this tutorial I am going to show you (Step by Step) how I edit my car photos in lightroom without the need for presets.

    Awesome video man thank you!! You probably allready know this but editing on a laptop becomes much faster in LR when you generate and edit Smart previews.

    Thank you very much for this tutorial! This will largely help with some of my older work that was single shots as I didn't know how to composite in PS back then.

  • @sergeycrane9384
    @sergeycrane9384 Před 6 lety +32

    Last radial filter in my opnion is not necessary because you have a tech team working with car already. It's more like "street photo" (forgive me silly comparsion). Attemping to hide people in the back is crushing your shot.

    • @MoeZainal
      @MoeZainal  Před 6 lety

      Maybe you are right, Thank you for your feedback!

    • @jonzmoviebar7580
      @jonzmoviebar7580 Před 5 lety

      I tend to do that a lot. My only problem is LR seems to not have the capability to create more efficient effect like screen blend and colorize like in PS. So that orange flare never end up being quite as good as if it was done in PS

    You mentioned that you would have done things differently in Photoshop and that some stuff is easier or more pretty when done in Photoshop.
    What do you think of this exact tutorial, just made in Photoshop so we can see what suits us better?

    Hello Moe. What do you think about Raw Therapy image editor? It is a free editor, but I could not easially use it. Could you please tell me your thoughts about it? And does it worth it to upgrade to Lightroom?
    Thanks

  • @waawaaweewaa2045
    @waawaaweewaa2045 Před 5 lety

    Thats a killer shot, going to play around with the file. I'm a beginner editor, just wondering why even do dodging in lightroom when it seems like photoshop will give you more flexibility for anything beyond basic light and color adjustments?

    • @MoeZainal
      @MoeZainal  Před 5 lety

      Thank you! the reason why I made this video is because there are many individuals that are using lightroom only. you are right, photoshop is more suitable for such edits :)

    Could you do a 4 par of this so like you did the editing strictly in LR can you then show how to strictly do it in PS and then make a comparison vid of how wen you did it strictly in Lr how to tweak it then in PS and then if you strictly did it in PS how to tweak it in LR I hope this makes sense hahahahah

    Hi Moe, great tutorial. Lightroom is my go to first stage of editing, and I am now pretty skilled at using it. But watching your edits, still give me new ideas of incorporating some of your tips into my workflow. I turn most of my edits from a photo into more of an art image, but people need to understand the power of lightroom as the first stage of any editing. If you want to see my style of images, then please feel free to pay my page a visit on FB. Just search GJCMotorSportsMedia, Keep up the great work, love watching your tutorials.

    • @MoeZainal

  • @Devilzreject
    @Devilzreject Před 6 lety

    Why not just apply a circle adjustment to the wheels? I feel like touching them like you did made them look un evenly dirty.

    • @MoeZainal
      @MoeZainal  Před 6 lety

      I've mentioned in the tutorial that I will do things quickly for the sake of time, you can take your time and dodge perfectly. Adding a circular adjustment will brighten the dark spots, I selectively dodged the areas and not every spot on the rims.
