    Thank you very much for this. I don't know if that's an Australian UA-camr thing but you, Mitch and Julia rock at delivering the concept of added value to your audience while keeping it very (user)friendly.

    Question, what is your thought process on editing. I’m starting to get into photography and i’m looking up videos about editing but sometimes it’s not clicking for me as to why edit, what are you looking for in your edits, what’s the whole structure behind editing.

      Hey so I did just release a new video on my editing workflow and I go into depth about selecting my images to edit and also what I look for while I edit

    Wow thank you so much for this information. I struggle a lot with my editing.
    Can you talk about if you recommend using Auto white balance or use Kelvin while balance instead?

    • @gerardneedham
      @gerardneedham  5 місяців тому +1

      I don’t use the Lightroom auto white balance picker (only for real estate work) and like I showed with the tint in the auto white balance in the camera, and then just adjust the WB with my eye if required

      @@gerardneedham if you get a non fotogenic model, how do you tell the good picture from the bad one? Given it's sharp and fairly well composed. Some people just can't model. I of course refer to swimsuit photography. Isn't that right?

    Don't know why you turn off your lens correction. Every lens has built in distortion, so unchecking that makes no sense whatsoever. I use a card to check white balance at the beginning of every shoot and every hour thereafter since light changes as the day moves on.

    • @gerardneedham
      @gerardneedham  4 місяці тому

      So I always have camera corrections on, so the lens correction should be on, but I’m always using new or unreleased lenses with no camera corrections, so if I leave it ticked a 24mm correction really stuffs up a 85mm shot for example.
      For fun beach shoots I don’t bring my wb checker board, I just go by eye. When I shootings a brand in a studio with flash bla bla I use a white balance board and a custom set white balance
      For this, not necessarily

    You are a lifesaver, you have no idea how good your timing is. I have a 2 week holiday starting tomorrow and I was planning to re-edit all of my pictures and learn retouching. After hours of looking for a tutorial the past weeks, this finally comes with perfect timing. There is little to no information for retouching and skin tones (at least hard to find).
    Now this is a perfect start to learn during my holiday. Thanks a lot :D

    Good set of techniques, well presented. Something different/off in audio, not as clean as in your prior vids.
    Lens Correction Sync Question. If you used lens auto correct for each pic, and there are different lenses in the mix, would LR Sync still apply the specific correction from the first image lens to the whole set? Or would LR apply the proper auto correction for each individual lens (based on lens used)? This assumes LR has a lens profile for each lens you used.
    How often do you color calibrate your monitor? Cheers!

    • @andreas.farsch
      @andreas.farsch 6 місяців тому +1

      Lightroom will apply the respective lens correction for each lens. There is no need to NOT include the Lens Correction checkmark in activities like sync settings or even presets. Some mirrorless camera manufacturers (I believe Sony) include the lens profile as metadata inside the RAW file. Lightroom knows that and will not actually apply its own lens profile, there will be a corresponding info in the Lens Corrections tab: "...Lens Correction Profile already applied".
      In short: nothing can go wrong.

      This comment made me buy a new dynamic mic 🎤😅
      It’s my Sennheiser shot gun mic and it gets to much bounce from the desk, monitor and celling, so next tutorial you’ll be listening to some dam fine audio
      I know that if you leave the box ticked it will not apply the same lens to all the images in theory
      But in practice I’ve had issues when I does 😂
