Excellent explanation Marcel, except the Camera Calibration panel doesn't 'need' to be at the end of your workflow. If you deem that it should be near the beginning, you can rearrange the panels to suit you. You don't always need to accept where the panels are as is. Take for instance the Lens Correction panel. You wouldn't use that panel at the end of your workflow because you would end up throwing all your colours off, so it makes sense to move that one too to the beginning. To rearrange the panels: In the Develop Module, right click any of the panels and then choose 'Customize Develop Panel' > A dialogue box will then appear with three lines next to each of the Develop Module options, all you need to then do is left click hold and drag around any of the options to where you think they 'should' go, and then click Save. It will require a restart of Lightroom Classic, but as soon as you do that, your panels will be in their customized position.
great video, exaplianed everything well and stayed on the topic. keep up the good work
I’ve never ran into this issue as bad as I am now, as of like 3-4 weeks ago I’ve never really noticed a drastic amount of change when looking through camera>importing in LR, Now My photos look about 4-5 stops darker in LR now compared to on camera, I’ve tried everything and still having this problem i haven’t changed anything settings wise and all of a sudden it’s doing this, since, I’ve tried reinstalling LR, tried different preview options, resetting to default, nothing is working, I’ve never had to apply any presets when importing to either my exposures have always been fine now i have to Boost to like + 2.0 on exposure to help. Need help asap🥲
Thanks for all bro. but i have 1 question. how to fix lightroom not change it auto.all the ways it change for fx3 RAW s
Sorry for the late reply. Could you further explain your problem? I don't exactly understand your question.
my god thank you for this video, all this time i was doing the hard way i had to convert my raw files to TIFF files which are freakin large then import to lightroom just to see that i got the same results from my camera
That does indeed sound like a very time and disk space consuming solution.
I truly appreciate the quick answer. I'm commenting, liking, and definitely subscribing for that,
Thank you man, I appreciate it!
Nice work Marcel, l plan on revisiting your tutorial while editing my photos, thank you.
Glad I could help.
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you!
I have an issue where when I open the photo on the photos windows app it shows the actual dark color and on lightroom it goes so much bright that it´s terrible. For me is the opposite and not sure what´s going on cause previously everything was fine and running smoothly
So previously it did not get any brighter when you imported into Lightroom?
ok, great, but how can I get the import to look even slightly close to the image I am getting on the back of my LCD screen as that would limit how much editing I need to actually do
If you want your final image to look close to what you were seeing on the back of your camera I would suggest just shooting JPGs instead of RAW. With modern cameras RAW is really only need if you want to do a lot of editing or if you're shooting in very conditions with very harsh contrast. Most cameras produce very decent JPGs that can handle a fair amount of editing.
Kiran from india.....I had this question ..so you explained very very good...thank you Boss..by the way am your subscriber
Thank your for your feedback and also thanks for subscribing!
My main question is how to I KEEP the embedded preview in develop module (or exporting to PS)
Might not be the answer that you were hoping to get, but you can't. Since the embedded preview is a preview that is not generated by Lightroom but by your camera, Lightroom does not have any access to what "formula" your camera uses to get from the RAW File to the way the embedded preview looks. So as long as you're working with RAW Files you'll have to deal with what your RAW-Converter of choice will do to the image.
This was the clearest explanation I have ever heard on preview generation, and I’ve been watching LR videos forever.
Thank you! This means a lot to me.
Thank you. Finally, I actually understand exactly what is going on with previews. Such a concise and knowledgeable tutorial. Thanks for doing that, it has really helped me (and no doubt many others).
Thank you so much for your feedback. That's exactly why I made this video and why I tend to always take a bit longer to explain things :D
Very Well explanation. Thanks u!
You are welcome!
Hast du echt mega gemacht!
Excellent, thank you!
You are welcome!
Thanks for the video! There's still something that is a bit unclear to me(maybe i missed something): The import doesn't lose any data of the RAW files, right? Since it's only an interpretation and the actual data is still accessible, it shouldn't matter if the preview is high contrast or low contrast, you can always get all the data out of the file right? I'm asking, because I had a discussion with a friend recently, about why an imported RAW file looks different in Lightroom than in Capture one. And some photographers apparently argue that Capture One offers more details / dynamic range and so on. But this doesn't make sense to me, since they both work off of the RAW file, there can't be any loss off data until you hit export. So you should in theory be able to get the same results with both, if you know how to use the tools, right? (aside from them offering different workflows or getting to the same result easier. I mean just from the technical side...) Not asking for you to tell me that one is better than the other😉 just really curious about the theory of the RAW workflow...
Yes, you're right on that one. When it comes to image-data and things like contrast, dynamic range etc. all RAW converters access the same amount of data. At least I've never heard or read about one software being able to access data that another isn't and I would be very suprised if that ever happened. The only case where I ever noticed something like this is that capture one would actually access a slightly larger pixel count/larger image than what you were seeing on the back of the camera. Can't really remember what the deal was (I looked into it back then), but that's the only case where I ever experienced something like this and it has nothing to do with the actual visual data of the image.
epic thumbnail and great vid. thanks man
Thank you man. Wish the algorithm (or rather the people it presents the video to) liked the thumbnail as much as you do :D
Great one 👌
Appreciate it 👍🏻
it sounds so funny when Germans speak English 😂 ( in a good way ) 😂
Ain’t no way to hide that accent.
@@marcelohm123 😂♥️
Really great and down to earth advice. I think one thing I would add is customer service since many of my regulars have complained about long wait times after shoots and this is something I've always been super on top with my own work, to deliver asap. Unfortunately as much as we do enjoy our art the service speed is such a key factor in every industry these days, even if you work with private customers or influencers.
Absolutely true. Definitely something I've seen from my own experiences. It does heavily depend on the type of job that you were doing though. But even us photographers gotta understand that sometimes the importance of a picture or rather the significance it can have is not mainly dictated by how the image looks (i.e. the best possible image selection and post processing) but when people are looking at it. I've found this to be especially true in sports photography, were often times it's incredibly important to get a picture of a big moment in a game or competition out quite quick so it can be recapped online.
Very good advice. I appreciate your down to earth pragmatic approach. Just one thing: please stop hitting your desk while speaking, or uncouple your mic from it 😅
Thank you for your kind feedback. Yeah, this was also annoying me a lot while editing the video. I don't know why the sound of it is so bad this time. I tried to fix it in post but then my voice would also be massively affected, so I had to go with it. Think I just have to get a better mic-holder.
Kein Problem, ich bin mir sicher du bekommst das in den Griff! Nicht entmutigen lassen und so gut weitermachen :).
The most important part about photography is showing up
Damn right
thanks a lot🗿👍🏾
You're welcome!
I can completely relate. You just go out far too rarely and just do somerhing instead of thinking too much about it. 🔥
Yeah, very true.
Very nice, where did you learn from the highlight countering the blue hue on waves ? I wanna educate myself
Thank you! I couldn't tell you exactly where I learned this from. I've probably watched 500+ tutorials on Photography, Filmmaking, Color Grading, Editing etc. throughout the years and most of the things I do and show in this video are just the result of combining everything I learned from these videos. My advice would just be to research everything you're ever curious about, so maybe start with something like Color Theory or complimentary contrasts in color grading.
@@marcelohm123 Thanks, that was the answer i was expected, but also afraid of hahaha Keep the good work man, nice day :)
Nice content
Thank you teo
It’s yet a reason i am using Capture One as an RAW converter, and exporting the pictures as a Tiff file to LR ore PS
When I was shooting a lot more Portraits a few years ago I was also mainly working in C1 because I liked the RAW Conversion more, especially when it comes to skin tones and I liked some of the c1 tools better for editing contrast in faces.
Finally someone explains this in understandable words! 🔥
Bro nice video, very useful and very clear. It's really hard learn how to work on color calibration and you make it look easy ahahah congrats keep work like this ❤️
Thank you man, I appreciate it!
Love it!!!!!!
Love you.
Man kann es einfach nicht verstecken, dass man Deutsch ist 😪😄
😂 erwischt. Ich muss rückwirkend sagen, dass sich in dem Video auch etwas mehr sprachliche Fehler eingeschlichen haben, als sonst, weils so lang geworden ist. Aber immerhin hab ich in meinem ersten Monat hier auf youtube auch schon einige Komplimente für mein Englisch bekommen.
I appreciate the tutorial! I know the point of the video is not really relevant to this, but I personally like the dark, moody original as it makes the ocean seem hostile and vast, comparatively. It would be nice to see a tutorial where the editing is more subtle, as it’s seems lots of people these days create images that look creatively similar to one another. Thanks again, I learned a lot. Subbed.
Thank you! I appreciate the sub and the honest feedback. As I said in the video, my editing is usually a lot more subtle than this. This was just a good image to showcase what is possible within Lightroom. I‘m definitely going to do more editing tutorials in the future and those are most likely going to be way more subtle.
Nice, thanks!
You're welcome!

Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean no one knew it.
Did I say that I suppose noone knew about this? In the end of the video I even state that I might be making this bigger than it actually is, just because I never knew about this.
I didn't mean to offend you.
@@algians You did not offend me at all. Always open for feedback or criticism.
Thank you so much for your tutorial, it is very clear !
You are welcome!
What a great video! I have been trying my hand at photography in autumn with more or less success but haven't gone out with a camera for a while. The video made me want to keep trying and take some good photos. Thanks! Dein Englisch ist übrigens sehr gut, sodass es mir kaum aufgefallen ist, dass du deutsch bist
Danke dir! Einfach immer dran bleiben, aber mal längere Pausen zu haben ist auch nicht schlimm. Selbst ich hab oft genug nicht wirklich Lust, eine Kamera in die Hand zu nehmen. Hauptsache du lässt dich nicht dauerhaft von "schlechten" Ergebnissen demotivieren. :)
I am not really a photographer but i follow a few online because I really love the craft. this was a great video and i am happy youtube recommended it
Thank you so much for your comment jessie! I really appreciate it.
I really enjoyed this video and your advice is good. Thank you Marcel
You‘re welcome!
For me, photography is an engine that needs to be run on a regular basis or it seizes up. This is particularly the case for street photography where I can really feel a loss of ‘form’ if I don’t get out for a while. Great video, thanks. I’ll look up the meaning of procrastination some other time 😅.
Yeah, that engine analogy is exactly right. 👍🏻
I have seen one photographer demonstrate this feature. Photoshop Cafe. I have subscribed to your channel because I saw one of your other videos.
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks Marcel, great tutorial without blah blah and no click bait. Keep going! I see more and more youtubers telling nothing. Your channel is different.
I appreciate that!
I originally saw that this was possible in the last year with a video from Anthony Morganti!
Could you send me a link to the video? 👍🏻
@@marcelohm123 m.ua-cam.com/video/w-SHx5Ha_cY/v-deo.html
thanks! useful tool! xoxo
You're welcome!
Thanks for the explanation! But what i find even more impressive is you clean room setup for recording. The lighting of you and the background is really nice. Also i like that you are talking to us in very clean english even though i think you are german. This channel needs more attention! Keep up the good stuff! Schöne Weihnachten!
Thank you for your kind words! I‘m also very satisfied with the way my room looks in the videos. Currently using 4 lights for the setup. And the comment on my english skills does mean a lot as I‘m indeed german and it‘s definitely quite a bit harder to do these videos in a language that‘s not native to you. Frohe Weihnachten to you too!
The blue slider definitely makes a big difference.
Cool. Great info. You have gained a sub. Thanks
Thank you buddy! I appreciate it a lot.
