    Gary from Australia. One of your better videos from my point of view. I lack the knowledge on how to fully process a image. You would have done 10 times more adjustment and this is why my images do not look the best. But this video done step by step and explanation on why it was done is excellent. Will go back a few times to learn your methods. Love your site look forward to each one. Thanks again.

  • @dfinlay587
    @dfinlay587 3 роки тому

    Thanks Nigel, very informative. I am continually amazed at the different methods in Photoshop to do the same thing. For example, I use the Lasso, then the Del key to use content aware fill. I also use AutoBlend layers, then tweak the masks if needed.

  • @youknowwho9247

    It's an interesting perspective for such a wide focal length. I'd have expected the fence to appear more stretched, but it looks very natural. Really nice.

    Amazing! It is so helpful to see the complete process. Thank you Nigel! I was wondering if you could do a video on your computer setup? Post processing is such an important step for every photographer but it can be so frustrating when the workflow is slow because of poor computer performances. How do you organize everything? Are all your photos and catalog on external hard drive? What kind of drive? And what are your computers specs for a smooth workflow? I’m sure a lot of people would enjoy a short video on how you organize everything! :)

Not been to Mam Tor yet but it's on my wish list but it's a 4hr drive from home for me so I guess it would have to be a 'stupid o'clock' awakening! Any tips for best time over the 'winter months' as I don't have a 4x4 or snow tyres.

    @martingillick60 3 роки тому

    I have started to use the screen touch focus and shoot, I find it very effective, because the screen is quite sensitive and does not vibrate the camera as much as the button. This also allows you to focus and shoot in quick succession.

  • @richardtonkin620
