    As a beginner photographer who hasn’t yet defined his style I am absolutely encouraged by your work, 1 month ago I would probably have given up halfway through your video out of fear of the processes involved here but day by day I learn and I understand more and more. Thank you so much

    Hello Mark, Great Tutorial in just a couple of minutes !!! All these days I was thinking I might know 1-2% of Photoshop and Lightroom. You just proved me wrong. I do not even know 0.0000001% of it. Hats off to your knowledge on these apps.

    The only thing I have learn from all this is I have sooo much to learn!! Wow, I need a class (not an online course) an actual teacher that I can ask questions as I go, there is so much to learn!
    One advantage I have is I work for a paint company and I match paint so my eyes are trained to see colors inside of other colors.

    Only 41 seconds into this video and have subscribed. Production quality alone and examples of your work right up front set the tone "light" years above other how-to videos. Don't know if I'll get answers to my questions on this video but already I can tell you are a pro.

    Great tutorial Mark, especially the clipping mask with the eyes.
    a good idea when doing buildings and city scapes. Apply high pass filter > blend mode to overlay > play with opacity to enhance the sharpening on hard edges in the photo, makes a huge difference.

    I liked the best, the portrait of the man's eyes and the overall adjustments for my taste, most of the other images I prefer to have them the way it was shot more naturally. I get the feeling that the files get cooked a bit too much for my taste, but of course everyone has their preference. Cheers.
