    I wish UA-cam would have existed 15 years ago when I was in college trying to learn the Adobe suites. I've never used Lightroom before and I know this is probably only the tip of the iceberg but I think I can jump right on it to start working on it on my own. And this didn't cost me thousands of dollars in tuition debt. Thanks, Peter! Keep rocking! 📸👍

    Mind blown! As someone who's been getting really into photography the last couple of years and something that's just naturally evolved from phone, to entry level mirrorless, to purchasing my first lenses this week, I wish I knew this sooner! The capabilities, the ease! I'm going straight over to get the creative cloud version and get started on making my photos pack more punch! Thank you!!

    peter, I say this from the bottom of my heart. I've been through some real trial and tribulations through out my life in the military and my civilian life and your inspiration and motivation through photography has changed and saved my life. I've found a new hobby and passion all because of you man. God bless you man!

    I really do love this guy. He's quirky, but not in a forced or overbearing way that I've seen in so many other tutorial videos where the presenters are trying desperately to be cool. What's more, he breaks things down to the point that, not only are they super easy to understand, but it makes me feel to grab my phone or camera and just start shooting. Thank you, Peter! Keep up the outstanding work. Really appreciate it.

      I just purchased the stand alone version of lightroom and I am very excited. Mostly because I am diametrically opposed to paying monthly fees for updates and patch fixes. I already have a car note and rent i DO NOT want another effing monthly payment. (suck it photoshop) but with lightroom I can pay a little less than 150 bucks have a version that never requires monthly payments. And yes Evan I am IT and I do use bit torrents for my video editing tools and movies, but I chose to be a good boy this time for this lightroom purchase. :)

    Also...i just had lightbulb moment...!
    What if you do a some videos where your viewers can send you a raw file and their version. Then we get to see a comparison between their 'style' and yours...!
    I would love to see how my pictures compare to how you would edit them! :D

    • @digitalfxmedia

      I was the same way. LR seemed intimidating, but once I jumped into it and watched a few UA-cam tuts, I was very comfortable with it very quick. It's my go-to app for 90% of my photos now.

    I had been using photo shop for edits this whole time. But now will definitely be using Lightroom as it seems to be much more detailed in its corrections, while being more user friendly. I really love the click and slide feature, and the simplistic way they do mask edits here. Thanks for the video

  • @MoLetalis
    @MoLetalis 4 роки тому +3

    Mastering the art of photography saves you a lot of time editing. I only use Lightroom to crop, rotate, change WB, hue/saturation and sometimes the exposure. Masking, brushing, adding stuff that wasn't even there in the first place... I would use Photoshop for that. It has a lot more to offer in that perspective.

    Thanks Mr. Mckinnon for a great intro to LR. I home school my kid and I just got the Adobe Teacher/Student subscription so she could start to learn some of their programs to further her creative & artistic side as well as prep for the workforce in the future (she wants to design game characters etc. among other things when she grows up). She's also a budding photographer so, I'm learning along with her. I'll be showing her your vid this morning. Thanks once again!

    I enjoy your content and it's really shocking how much people like to argue about different ideas or philosophies when it comes to editing/not editing. It's art isn't it? I wish people would share opinions and ideas without all of the drama. It brings everything down a notch in my opinion. Why watch a Lightroom tutorial if you hate editing photos? I personally use Lr and Ps but try to be tasteful about it but I still like some of the "wild" stuff that some folks do as well. Everyone has a style and it's all relevant.

    @Intuitive_One 5 років тому +20

    People that complain about the use of editing software is no different than the people who deny the enhancement effect of make up on women.
    All in moderation. You could never compare a "natural" photo with a well edited one. No matter how good the original, adjusting even one slider in Lightroom surely will make it look better (example Clarity).
    Sorry to say but a "photographer" that has no interest in editing software and speaks against it could never dream to compete against photographers who do use it. Like night and day comparison.

      @benstanfill363 5 років тому

      @Chloe Krisst we're not saying you can't shoot amazing photos, I have a few I wouldn't tweak, but for example being able to "turn the lights on" in a window is something you can't control or you'd have to wait forever in order to see and without the ability to wait for the perfect shot, an editing software is a great tool.

    Strewth, I can't believe that so many UA-cam photographers are promoting Lightroom CC. I am still using Lightroom 6,
    and intend continuing to do so for as long as possible. I refuse to be sucked in to the Adobe corporate model, and
    start paying them rent. If at any time I upgrade my camera, and can no longer import RAW files into LR, I will look
    elsewhere.

    • @Storm7709
      @Storm7709 6 років тому +4

      A lot of people like myself prefer cc. It’s much better to pay a monthly subscription than a ton of money upfront, especially if you use multiple adobe suite software programs. I do graphic design, website development, and photography. So for only $20 a month I get access to every program that they have, even the mobile applications. Considering I use a lot of them, it saves me tons of money. CC also allows you to sync frequently used assets, photos, type, and all sorts of things for use across all applications and devices.

    • @elk3407
      @elk3407 6 років тому +12

      Michael Storm in several short months you have paid more because of the subscription.
      In a year, would you rather pay $500 up front, or $5,000 at $60 a month? It's the same deal. Paying less for a subscription almost ALWAYS just screws over the customer.

    • @Storm7709
      @Storm7709 6 років тому +7

      --- I pay 20 a month.. that’s to use ALL of their applications, which I nearly do. Considering the price they used to sell even just one application at before cc, and I get the new version automatically for continuing my subscription, I’d say that’s great for the customer. I haven’t even paid the full price for one application yet, it’s awesome.

    Adobe should give free licenses to students and hobby artists. If we don't use their products commercially, they shouldn't ask for money. The most simple and moral solution for this problem is piracy. I'd like to thanks Ching Liu and all the programmers that are patching and cracking much needed applications for us, the poor, the students, the passionate, the independent.

      By that logic if I'm not racing a Ferrari and just want it to study how to drive they should give me one for free? Dude please.
      They have discounts for students or you can simply not use the software, it's not like they created it for free or it's a necessity to anyone.
      Their pricing is high and the monthly fee stupid but if you don't like it(like myself) use something else. If you have a Sony camera for example you can get Capture One Express for free like I did, which will take you a long way if you're really studying.

      I've been using photoshop for 6 or 7 or so years now and I just discovered lightroom through this guy's videos. Already my pictures look so much better because the settings in lightroom are way, way better than the editing settings in photoshop. Photoshop is still the best for cropping, other effects, overlays, etc, but for purely photo editing the lighting, colors, sharpness, etc. Lightroom has so many more options + the same options as photoshop but somehow better looking and more effective. Like its so good I'm pretty sure I'll never not edit a photo in lightroom before, it's like magic
