Wow!! What an amazing and informative video. Not only you are an amazing photographer, but also a super clear and wonderful teacher :) Just edited my first dark and moody photo and I can say I don't feel as scared as I was at the beginning haha. Cheers from Australia!
I have been watching for more than a week now and have experimented everything from home which I can shoot. Food and Product photography is just amazing and I just can't wait for this quarantine to end so I can head straight to the stores to buy the boards and diffusers and experiment more. Thank you SO much and stay safe everyone. Hope this ends soon!
This was an excellent, straight-forward editing tutorial! So many creators are like “let me edit your photos!” and then slap their own preset on it (which usually looks overdone or extreme), do a couple tweaks and call it a day. I think you did such a great job walking us through your editing flow and explaining what each slider does. I also love how you describe the “Lights” slider in the Tone Curve. It totally does add that extra little pop that you just can’t achieve with Highlights or Whites! It’s one of my favourite sliders that I use to ensure that my images aren’t too flat. Also, I really appreciated how you used Split Toning as that’s a section I never use as I don’t really know how or WHEN to use it! I think the photo looks really great, and I’m so impressed with how you made such a simple photo of kale so striking! Can’t wait for more!
Hi! I finally went back to your older video talking about export settings & it worked! I’ve tried so many different videos and they didn’t work. I would upload and the quality would be great, but after a few hours the quality looked horrible. Tested it out yesterday. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you. I don't have this same program but I can still learn about light and directing the eye and telling that story. Very, very interesting to watch and learn. Thanks!
sure thing! next week I'll be doing another "behind the scenes" shoot with the Rebel camera, something a little different from this kale shoot, as well as doing some side by side comparisons with my other cameras. Then the week after that I'll do an edit video. Glad you're enjoying the series!
Hello from France and thank you for your fabulous videos. I have had a Canon 650D for a couple of years and have tried taking pictures of my cooking for ages that just led to deception and frustration. In just a couple of days thanks to all the knowledge you share I have made a huge leap and I am starting to feel good with the results. One important thing I had not understood before is that it's not possible (at my level anyway) to cook, plate, photograph and eat the dish at the family table!!! Seems obvious now lol but I actually tried to do so all the time before, which led to careless plating, no thought about lighting, no time to make the right camera settings, so deception. I now just put aside what I'm going to need and take all the time I need to do it later. Anyway thank you so much again!
One inportant Issue ,why we use Lightroom, photoshop unstead, is to biasing a picture before working to a specific look. so you can work in lightroom as you like, but lightroom works much faster and much efficient if we use built segments. for example........ before i begin to prozess actually, i bias the picture by push the autobuttom, switch to B/W , bring the whitebalance to a position the picture shows most contrast, switch back to color and remove the color cast......... so I bias the picture, so all following presets works much better and the work is much faster, and the content got a even look. But your video is a great show. happy to saw this.
Relatively new to photography I am know the close up photography is one of my interests. From finding you channel and binge watching your videos I know now that I would really enjoy food photography especially the ‘flat’ shots. What would be really, really useful for me is to have a list of basic lighting equipment and props like diffusers etc, to get me started. Happy to invest but don’t want to go crazy at this point. I also don’t have dedicated space so that is a bit of a challenge. In the U.K. so I would have to find different suppliers but that’s fine. I just find your teaching style so encouraging and easy to follow. The downside is, you make it look so easy, which it really is not!! Xx
I feel guilty watching this video, I should be making my spinach and kale salad, but I'm sitting here with a Chai Latte and chocolate chip cookies😆 Nice video.
I thought I was better at editing than I actually am. I rely too much on presets and often wonder how people get to such amazing results only with lightroom. But you are so good at explaninng. I watched your video and then took the photo and edited it myself in a similar manner to see if I can achieve the same look (I also have an older version of Lightroom). In fact I ended up with an edit I quite liked and I saw how cool some of the things you were talking about make the photo look. I also installed your preset and I saw that our edits were quite different but I liked both. Thank you so much for this amazing information! I already feel I learned a lot!
Is there any chance you could do a few Food photography for beginners videos please. A sort of back to basics? Also,I wondered about flower garnishes. Do you grow them or buy them and what are you4 top 3 in terms of usefulness? So for all the questions. New to this and certainly more questions than answers # all thegearandnoidea
Just starting game out in food photography and feel that without a C stand I won’t be able to get the shots I want. Please can you recommend a cost effective C stand. A little concerned that if I focus on price too much I won’t get the stability. Binge watching your vids.....totally addicted. Thank you for sharing so much on your channel
Good video, as always. I do have 1 question though. You used some very exact numbers when using the sliders and I'm wondering what drove those specific numbers? When I'm editing I just eyeball it and if I get a "95" vs a "98", I call it good.
hi, thank you for the great video. i enjoyed watching your step by step editing process. hoverer i can't download the file. i provided my email twice already, still haven't received anything. and yes, i checked my spam folder. is everything okay with the link?
Dumb Questiun...I have zero issues for hte 4x5 crop but I was under the impression that Instagram didnt have a set crop size anymore....the standard square or just reposition the image for a landscape shot that I need for sports photography often...insight? Check out my IG @sidelinemedia ...PS I have this craving to transition to food photography so I can dump the LONG HEAVY lenses! Love you channel by the way!
Omggg this was wild!!! 🤩🤩🤩

Editing photos is such a fun process for me. I love the creative freedom it offers 👍🏻🔥

I would say you could get started with window light. No need to limit yourself
I feel guilty watching this video, I should be making my spinach and kale salad, but I'm sitting here with a Chai Latte and chocolate chip cookies😆
Nice video.
Gotta do what ya gotta do 🤗📸
I loved it.
Thanks Joannie !!! I move to photoshop to get much more interest but I think I will try some of your reccomendations with LR

Great tutorial as usual Joanne. The link for the Lightroom Editing Playlist doesn’t seem to work. Could you update it please?
Thanks Joanie! 🇧🇷
I'm very new to editing photos and this was acutally so helpful!
First Comment! Thanks Joanie, amazing content
thanks for being here!!
that is really good :) fell in love with your kale ^^
this is really nice!!
Amazing! Tks! 😀
Thanks for sharing. Great content.

Amazing tutorial 🙏🙏🙏🙏 thank you!
Waoh! Great content
Glad you enjoyed it!

I eyeballed when I first edited, but in re-editing I wanted to hit the same numbers again as you would find in the preset 👍
@@TheBiteShot cool!
I've only ever used Adobe photoshop for editing (since Uni) - what are the main reasons you use Lightroom vs Photoshop? Thanks!!
Noticed you haven’t posted for 2 weeks. Hope everything is ok with you? Please can you tell me how to get LR to show the before and after photos?
thank you.
How did you get that cropping ratio marks on screen while working on it?
hi, thank you for the great video. i enjoyed watching your step by step editing process. hoverer i can't download the file. i provided my email twice already, still haven't received anything. and yes, i checked my spam folder. is everything okay with the link?
You are amazing. Thank you for always showing us how you do things so we can see and learn. Here an on Instagram
So glad it's helpful!
where is our blue hair .... we want the blue hair back!!!!!
