I want to take a moment here to THANK YOU about this video in particular. Here you demonstrate a way to add lighting effects into a picture with layers, a color brush, and lots of blurring. I've never come across this before, and after this video I tried it on a picture, and Wow!! that really added a lot to it. I am definitely going to try more of this, and to try taking more pictures with this application in mind. If you are looking for a video to do one day "off-season", perhaps a special one where you go over this method. Cheers!
Another really helpful video, Trey. Another option to the selective sharpening is to make a copy of your pixel layer and put a white layer mask on it. Sharpen the copy and then use a black brush on the layer mask to block the sharpening where you don't want it. You can turn the sharpened layer on and off to see where you need to mask. Keep these tips and walk-along videos coming, my friend.
Nicely done, Trey. Your original photos are 🔥. For example, on the Anthomyiid fly, we can see the upper & lower calypters, the left haltere, and the plumose antenna bristles, all needed for proper identification. Good job walking us through your editing processes. Thank you.
Interesting to watch your edit although I don't use Adobe software for my images. I use darktable for raw file editing. I agree with your comment about adjusting vibrance instead of saturation. It keeps it real. Thanks for sharing
Have you tried the denoise feature in Light Room? Is it any good for your images? What do you think? Thank you for your videos. Great content. Great music. Love your production style.
I usually just stick to lightroom - but your tutorials like these make me want to get into photoshop more - this is next level great work man! I gonna have to watch this video on slow a few times to figure out these techniques :) I might have missed it, 2 questions if you get a chance - Are you clone stamping between tabs when you are quickly painting sharpness back in? When you are light painting with white and grey it looks like, would doing dodge and burn have the same effect?
When I’m clone stamping, I’ll constantly click back and forth on the copy just to see if I’m missing any spots. And I’ve never tried dodge and burn but I’d assume that it would look similar
Hi!
I never thought I would learn the most about macro photography from a youtuber guy thousands of miles away from me! Thanks for the videos!

You’re welcome. And yep that’s the main reason why I prefer vibrance over saturation
