Simon, I am a stubborn old man, I don't listen to anybody. I love taking pictures of birds so I watched a few of your videos. I have been spending my time watching all of your videos. I have learned something from every one of them. I like your style of presentation. It's right to the point, relevant, and professional. Until this video, I was barely using a fraction of what the program had to offer. I look forward to following your work.
Wonderful
This dude is legit making the best photography content on youtube.
Simon, I cannot get enough of your videos.
This is the most detailed video of using lightroom to edit bird photos that I have seen. It is really great. It not only explains the skills of using lightroom, but more importantly, it is a processing idea.Thank you for your videos!
This is exceptionally helpful: Your methodical progression through the editing stages, and attention to detail (how to limit a radial mask just to the perch, enrich the brown tones, bring varieties of light to the background) is unlike anything I’ve seen elsewhere from more high-profile UA-camrs - and very welcome. Thank you many times over, and I look forward to what you do next.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Eric!
Really can't thank you enough for these tips and many others you've offered in previous videos. Very good, honest help, and well presented. Well done.
Glad to help!
Thanks you so much for this video! I have Lightroom since yesterday and I managed to learn a lot by watching this video! Besides this video I absolutely love your other video's aswell!
Best videos on youtube thank you
Wow, thanks!
This is what I was looking for. There are so many videos on UA-cam about editing with LR, but none of them gave me this much help. Thank you man, you are a real G!
You're very welcome!
All of the tips are helpful! As a newer photographer all of the learning that is involved can be overwhelming. Thank you for your videos!
I've watched several other Lightroom tutorials and have done some rudimentary processing as I'm just beginning in photography. This video was easily the most helpful. The keyboard and mouse shortcuts were especially helpful. Your style of teaching resonates perfectly with me so I'm really thankful I've found this channel. Thank you for the awesome content and taking your time to help so much.
I don't know how I just found your channel a few weeks ago, but I'm sure glad I did. This video, and many from the past year have been so wildly informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks Simon for sharing your way of adjusting different parts of the subject. I am new to lightroom classic and learn something everytime I watch your videos.
Wow! That was by far the most compressive tutorial on post-processing of birds but done simply. Thanks so much for sharing this! 👌🙏🏻
Welcome!
Excellent advice. Thank you for being so generous! 😊
Thanks, Simon. I use On1Raw, but will use your techniques in my bird photos. I shoot a lot of raptors because they frequently visit my backyard. Best, John
Great Video Simon. Certainly a contrast to videos you do today - you are much more relaxed these days!!😊😊
You have once again presented a video that is top quality, easy to understand, and in depth on the many ways to make a photo better. I now have a better understanding of why my photos look great at the end, but when posted on Facebook they are so much noise. Thank you for your presentation.
Glad it was helpful!
I followed your guide with one of my bird photos and was blown away by the results! Thanks so much for the excellent editing guide!
Thx Simon. Very good tips.
So much information in such a small amount of time. I did not know that you could do so much in LR other than adjusting sliders. Going to apply this knowledge after my next trip. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I am new to bird photography and light room editing. Recently found your channel and can’t thank you enough for your systematic and detailed explanations and demonstration.
Awesome, thank you!
Superb editing tutorial Simon! I always learn so much from you
Couple comments:
1) Current max export sizes are 1350x1080 (5x4post) & 1920x1080 (16x9stories) for Instagram. Long edge being 1350 &1920 respectively.
2) Not sure if you had the luminance mask update at the time, but instead of brushing, you can save all that time by using the luminance mask. Then subtract the subject(invert) for a perfect gradient :)
Excellent tutorial Simon. Thank you. Can’t thank you enough for taking the time to make these. They are extremely helpful.
And you have a knack to make it simple for us to consume.
Thanks.
Glad you like them! Thanks!
GREAT INFO, Simon!!! I have learned so much... I hope you continue to create this amazing content.. Thanks very much!!
Excellent video with great tips. Thanks so much!😊
This video was extremely informative. Thanks!
Excellent tips. The magenta correction is particularly useful I think. Didn't occur to me to use the temp slider - I usually adjust the tint, or use a local brush with a mix of green and desaturating, but the results are not always what I want. This is simple and it does work, at least on brown! Thanks Simon!
Glad it was helpful!
As a mostly beginner of using Photoshop, this is extremely helpful! I like that I can easily follow along while editing my own photos in hopes that it will become memorized. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for another excellent video!
The last tip about compression on Facebook is quite helpful. Thank you for throwing that into the video.
That was amazing Simon! I was so happy to watch this! I take very clear pics of birds for the most part....I just needed to know what is necessary when a shot does not get me what I want! I have learned so much from your videos!!! Also I can go into shots that needed editing I didn't know how to do!! So glad I subscribed to your channel!!!
Wow! Thanks so much. I have watched literally hundreds of videos on processing and your explanation and detail has blown me away. Can’t wait to watch the next video. Cheers from Bristol, England.
Glad it helped Cary!
Your videos are fantastic! Thank you
Excellent video once again. Thank you Simon.
Great tips!! Thanks much.
Fabulous tutorial. Thank you so much 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Incredibly helpful. Thank you
Welcome!
Excellent, thank you so much.
Excellent, thank you. The inverted subject is a God send for blurring the background just a little, and the file size for Instagram will definitely help too. Thanks again.
Superbly informative and clear. Thank you 🙏
i'm a person who really is a novice at LR and you have just help me a whole bunch easy to under stand and very helpful cheers from australia

Simon: thank you VERY much for this comprehensive and exhaustive explanation on how you proceed to edit bird photos. I use LR a lot and this is the first time I see tools that I didn't know what their use was. I will keep this tutorial in my favorites because I need to see it more than once to fully understand your approach.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much! I looked at the masks when Adobe first added them to LR but I had no idea how flexible they were.
Fantastic tips! Thank you so much!
You bet!
Very clear presentation thanks i appreciate your time
Really enjoyed that, fantastic tips!!
Glad it was helpful!
learnt some additional tricks..thanks..looking forwards to more such sessions
Great to hear!
I love your videos! You explain things nice and clearly and at a speed that I can keep up with which is much appreciated. I don't use Lightroom but I am sure I can use some of these tips in the programme that I do use. I already do use the rule of thirds at least!
Glad you like them!
That was great. Will be watching this again. Really Great. Thank You.
so glad i stumbled upon this video.. learned so much!
Great!
Your videos are crystal clear, incredibly helpful and a source of inspiration to always to better! Thank you, Bart
I appreciate that!
Awesome videos! Learning a lot while standing here washing these dishes. Haha
Great to hear!
Went to UA-cam to learn some new LR processing tricks and tips with bird photography. Your well-done video did not disappoint....learned several unique tricks which I'm confident will improve my processing work flows....especially the options you showcased on how to get the most from masks. Thank you!
I love your videos, thanks for sharing tips and tricks... I've been taking bird photos since 2020 and it's a whole journey, I improve each time I go out and this tricks have pointed out mistakes I was doing or things I needed to do and I wasn't doing. Thank you very much for taking the time to do real high quality content.
You are so welcome!
This is an extremely helpful video for where I am now in post-processing. The information, example used and pace of the video is a perfect learning tool. I have saved it and will be referring to it often. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks this is really nice tips. I learned a lot of new stuff, and as returning to photography, got reminded of some too, like vignetting.
Super helpful! Thank you so much !
You're so welcome!
Thanks so much, this was indeed a new learning experience for me.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this video!!
Excellent Simon. I’d like add a tip to what you have so clearly explained and demonstrated, and that is the use of virtual copies. For those who don’t know what they are, Lightroom allows the creation of multiple versions of the original file without altering the original file. For example after the first stage of developing the image, that file is saved. From there a person can right click the file to make a virtual copy and the start point is the initial editing that was done in that initial development, from there they can apply the ‘artistic edits’ that you showed in your video. When that file is saved the library will have both edited copies available to choose from. Another example is that various crops of this image could be saved e.g horizontal or vertical.
Thanks for your excellent videos Simon I appreciate them.
Excellent additions! Thanks for sharing!
This is one of the most helpful guides I’ve seen
Thanks very much!
Super helpful and to the point tutorial! Thank you so much for all the amazing tips. I've only just started getting into wildlife photography and your videos have been an invaluable resource to understanding everything photography😅 ❤
I’m impressed! Thank you for sharing your skills.
Thank you too!
This is very helpful as I am still getting my head round to my recently acquired Lightroom 5. What a brilliant tool, even if the masking features are somewhat more basic than those mentioned here, a lot of this advice is relevant.
A big thank you for sharing👍👍👍 You are very complete and detailed in all your tutorials 😅😅 Among the best I’ve seen. ❤❤👍👍👍
Thanks very much!
You're an excellent teacher. This was very helpful.
Glad to hear that!
Lots of neat tips. I'm very glad I watched it.
The other day I was in a restaurant and noticed an advertisement where they used desaturation to most but not all of the image to draw your eye to what was not desaturated. There is also the artistic trick of making the image black and white except the subject which is in full color. I had the thought that I'm going to try desaturating the background when I edit my next photograph. I'm thinking that slightly desaturating the background will make it less obvious so the viewer won't be conscious of the manipulation giving an even stronger effect.
I also usually "blur" the background by moving the texture, clarity, and sharpening sliders (for the background mask) to the left.
Love your videos! I use Lightroom and this will help my photography. Thanks Simon for more great tips!
Happy to help!
Thanks, this is the first of your videos I’ve watched. It won’t be the last! You explain the new masking tools in Lightroom very, very well. And, the shortcuts and shortcut keys. I’m going to go find more of your videos, right now. Thanks again.
Thanks Rick. Appreciate it!
it's so interesting seeing other photographers edit their photos and how that plays into their styles and tastes! I would have edited in a different way to you and probably would have come out with a very different final image. Thanks for sharing your process!
Perfect tutorial for my mood!
Thank you so much for the tips , especially the artistic interpretations.
You're very welcome!
Good tips, easy to follow. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I’m mad at UA-cam because I cannot give you more likes!! :D. Great video! Really helpful!
