I would love to learn a bit more about your experience in using APS-C cameras vs Full Frame cameras for wildlife. Some say that in newer 40MP FF bodies the cropping is better for subjects like birds, while others say the reach of APS-C bodies is better. I plan to acquire a gear setup for Bird photography and I would appreciate immensely the insights from your experience.
The tone curve adjustment is something I always go to in Lightroom! I would like to learn more about colour grading, calibration and the many masking options available.
I could unsubscribe to literally every other photographer I follow on here, with the plethora of useful tidbits and tutorials you provide. So happy I found this channel, and thank you for all the work you put into helping people learn new photography & editing tips!
WOW. I was blind and now see the light. The more Simon d’Entrement videos I watched, the better it has gotten. There’s an addiction developing here. - went to Africa recently, applied some of the other foto tips. Now back with 12.000 photos, I am a bit overwhelmed what to do. - Another great video to support all of us. Thank you!
Only a few minutes in and my (admittedly limited) knowledge of Lightroom has already improved. I usually just whack on some warmth, sharpness and contrast and call it a day. Enlightening to see that you take into account the very same things in Lightroom as you do out in the field i.e light direction, etc. Things I simply didn't think to replicate. As always Simon, an unrivaled communicator in all things photography. Great tips and inside info. Can't wait to get some of my new shots into Lightroom and apply what you show here. 10/10.
To add to the cacophony of praise for this video, I think this is one of the most useful videos on photo editing I've ever seen. I mostly do street photography but these techniques can be applied universally. You do a stellar job of explaining why you do something and exactly how to do it. I have not experimented with gradients much because it's uncharted territory, but you have inspired me to take more creative liberty with my photos. Thank you, Simon. This is, dare I say, masterful advice.
As someone who's spending a lot of time learning Lightroom, I just wanted to say thank you! Your tutorials are incredible for beginners and you clearly have a passion for teaching others!
As much as I'm a purist, it is incredible how much and quick a photo can be improved with post processing software. I've got so many photos which are special because of situation and/or composition, but don't look good because of exposure and light problems. Time to learn post processing!
Thanks for this video, I’ve been shooting for 6 years and there aren’t many experts out there who give such specific and useful tips that are only learnt through experience. Most UA-camrs only share basic strategies. And you make it all so simple. Kudos to you sir! Subscribed, and keep it up!
I could watch hours of this kind of tutorial. I lack vision…all the technical technique in the world is useless without vision. This is so helpful! Thanks!
19:53 WHAAATT I would've never realized it was that small of a structure it you hadn't said anything. Thank you for this tutorial! Ive been using techniques like this for a few of my last photos but this gave me a much clearer understanding of them. THANK YOU‼️‼️
'remember this is your art'. I like that comment as we seem to be bound by what other do or think of your pictures. This is your creation and your art! Thanks Simon, that just reinforced my confidence.
I'm using Lightroom for quite some time now, but your "sandwich" technique with background only selection was something new that I tried on a few shots edited earlier and it instantly made an impact. Thanks for the guidance and for sharing your experience.
It will take several viewings plus note-taking plus experimentation with my own files to fully assimilate and integrate these editing techniques -but, as usual, Simon d'E. offers at no cost a worthwhile lesson in photo editing. Merci BCP, Monsieur …
OMG, thank you so much for making this video. These were the MOST useful minutes of photography instruction I've had so far. I did my training way back in the days of film, haha. I have recently begun to learn digital photography and use LRC. This video helped my editing more than I can express. I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Thanks for the time you put into helping us newbies--I think I can speak for all of us when I say that you ROCK! I look forward to more "to-the-point", excellently explained videos.
tip: instead of dodging and burning piece by piece when it is too much to do you can use gradient filter on whole photo, select range mask to luminosity option on it and slide that right tick to left for selecting only darks or right tick on slider to the left for selecting only lights. apply exposure down or up depending if you want shadows more dark or light parts to brighten.use O to show you the mask. if you slide smoothnes slider to 20 fx, it wil only apply more selectively on what you need to adjust not the whole gradient.
This has to be one of the best tutorials i have seen on UA-cam! Instructions are super clear and you explain everything so well. I love that you explain all your reasoning for what you are doing to the image! Thank you for your hard work on this video!!
Thank you for your amazing tutorial!! I’ve been shooting professionally since 2009 and your videos are some of the best tutorials out there. I also appreciate your positively and encouragement!
A man who sees photo editing as I do, well done. Your editing pretty much mirrors my own which I believe makes the images look so natural rather than unnatural as so many photographers on UA-cam seem to do these days. Keep up the great work. 👌👍
I CANNOT believe how simple this is. I’m not kidding. When I was trying my hand at photography for the first time about 6 years ago I liked doing long exposure beach photography. I had an immediate instinct for setting up interesting shots. But I noticed how flat the photos came out, and it didn’t look like that in real life. I knew I had to edit. But then also discovered(the hard way)how easy it is to OVER-edit a photo, and the human eye can tell when something looks over-edited and unnatural. I never figured out what I was doing wrong, and, regrettably, sadly, gave up on photography in frustration. Recently I’ve been getting the itch to go back out and try again, having picked up Birding as a hobby(obsession). And seeing this video and how UNBELIEVABLE your photos look with just 2-3 quick and well-placed edits has convinced me. Think I’m going to try again 😉 Well done, sir!
Simon, I want to thank you for making these lightroom videos. You make me want to learn how to really use the program for more than just basic editing. I don't do a whole lot with lightroom other than basic editing. In the past I always edited my photos, and then deleted the RAW photos, unless they were of images that mean a lot to me, like pictures of my family. But I've decided to begin keeping all of my usable RAW images just to use as practice photos.
The tip about darkening the shadow areas was fantastic! Sometimes, as amateurs, we overlook the finer details that make significant improvements. The "shaping" that this created in your image was just incredible. Thanks again Simon!
I've never taken a photo with intent before I found your UA-cam channel. Thank you so much for what you do. I wish I found your channel and photography years ago.
I have only recently discovered your channel, and I have been binge-watching! I love your teaching style and find the information you provide extremely useful to my photography and processing. Thank you so much.
I was impressed how well lightroom processes photos, and how accurate automatic tools are, but now I'm mindblown about features and all the possibilities. This might not be the most popular content on your cannel, but I find image processing guides very useful. Great work!
Simon reminds me of fellow Canadian Neil Peart, the tragically deceased superdrummer of the legendary band Rush. Both have been extremely articulate and even-tempered while mastering their arts to the highest degree conceivable. They even look a bit alike. Thanks, Simon, for content that can only be described as stellar. Best, always.
@@simon_dentremont Of course you do :) If'n ya wanna behold what they found to be the high point of their career - tens of thousands of certified thong-wearing Brazilians going HAYWIRE as YYZ was played, check out the link at the end. It's goosebump material for anyone with half a pulse of better. The shot framing at around 52 seconds is plain wicked. Brace yourself, sir. Thanks again for changing how I approach snatching photons. I've synthesized parts of your approach with those of another, less technical/more hands-off master to cobble together my own style. It's not unlike the battle of heart and mind so brilliantly depicted in Rush's Hemispheres album and cover art. A cornerstone was getting me off the nonsense emphasis on ISO 100 (or lower, depending on the hardware). That vastly improved, among other things, our rolling road trip shots which before were too often blurry for flippin' obvious reasons. ua-cam.com/video/1eSlvoO3Vw8/v-deo.html
Rather than subtract from a mask, I tend to use the intersect feature to fine tune a mask. The intersect feature works well when intersecting with a luminance range to specify the highlights or lowlights in a region.
For sure. Nigel Danson showed the gradient + intersect a luminance range in one of his videos and I have found that to be such a transformative tool in my editing kit
Thanks! Now I understand what's missing in my photos. It's not just about composition, focus and sharpness. To me its even just 50%. Because what you just did in the video adds another 50% and make these photos really stand out. Amazing. I just don't have this vision. Don't know how I want my normal photos to look.
Great video again. I sometimes like to add a subtle background glow by adding a radial gradient over the object (bird possibly) then subtract the object and then raise exposure slightly. Gives the effect of a slight light behind the object.
Awesome video as always! As someone still learning, your videos are the best at explaining everything but not overexplaining it or losing the point throughout the video. Thank you and keep it up!
Excellent, if you right click on the mask you can invert and duplicate it. It works well on radial gradients. More tips please. The post processing is as important as taking the photo.
Great tips Simon! Something that I do is reduce contrast to brighten areas, in conjunction with raising highlights and whites, especially when I'm "adding sunlight".
Some great ideas here Simon. I use the intersect option with either a brush or gradients on my masks a lot. It's particularly useful with selecting the subject and then intersect with the brush. You just then paint on where you want your adjustment and it doesn't spill out into the background.
OMG! I have a Nikon D40, a dinosaur by today's standards. What I have learned from your videos has been a blessing to my photography. I even find myself using the Pro camera features on my cell phone camera. And now I am learning how to use real-time features in Lightroom and Photoshop. Your work is amazing and your explanations are so down to earth. Thank you, Simon. Set shutter speed & aperture and auto the ISO is a game changer. The native ISO for my D40 is 200, 400, & 800, each with about 8 stops. I even just ebay'd a 50mm 1.4 lens for portraits and depth of field.
Simon you are a master of techniques. What you do that no one else seems to do is explain why. For novices "why" is just as important. As for future videos I think techniques (post production or in camera) would be something I would like to see. Thanks for doing this amazing video.
Excellent! There are many great videos on UA-cam showing various workflows in LR, but most of them whilst producing fantastic results, are very long-winded. What cannot be underestimated here is you've created a beautiful end result, but very quickly and efficiently without unnecessary complexity and confusion! As with most things, those who are very talented and skilled at something make it look deceptively easy, but your eloquence, skill and relatable delivery inspire others to give things a try.
I have only been photographing for 2 years but I have found that if you click black and white tab on a colour pic you can adjust highlights and shadows contrast and expose etc without the colour to create another distraction , once done convert back to colour and you will have all those balances almost correct then adjust colours if needed after , try this and see if it helps
Right before you performed the technique, I would be saying it out loud. But it blew my mind that I never thought of doing this until you said it. Thank you so much!
One of the best Tutorials on editing photos in LR (or any other software with similiar functions and workflows) i have seen so far. Thank you so much Simon for helping us to grow!
Very good tutorial. There's many other tutorials out there with topic as "How to make your photos looks better using Lightroom" and then next thing I hear while watching it is something like "I'm not going to dive in on how to use Lightroom", very disappointing. I'm happy I finally found a well prepared and easy to understand video. Thank you.
VERY dramatic and impressive editing quickly! I now see how LR tools can be used in concert with one another.....so powerful if done right. I need to make local gradual changes instead of trying to make large global changes.
Thanks for the video. These methods are so simple yet HUGE on how they impact a dull photo. I am an American that lives in Germany, and while there are many great things to photograph, there are also many dark grey days. This video was exactly what I needed to see. Thanks.
Thank you so much for posting something like this. I think this is going to help me look at my editing differently and really upgrade my work. Thank you again!
Thank you for this Amazing tutorial. I never thought that the gradients could bring a slight 3D effect on the flat, 2D type areas in an image. Much appreciated !
This is one of the most helpful videos on lightroom editing that I've ever come across. Simple, helpful tips that really make the photos pop! And no Photoshop needed. Thank you Simon!
this video is incredible. One of the best tutorials I've ever seen - the tips were great and your explanations/camera presence made it very easy to learn. Well done, and thank you!
I think this is a really great tutorial. I've seen a lot of nature and landscape photographers do some very heavy handed lightroom work and yours definitely is more of 'enhancing realism' as opposed to just 'a big flashy landscape'. Both are totally valid and I like both!
What are your go-to features in Lightroom? What features would you like to see in educational content in a future video?
I would love to learn a bit more about your experience in using APS-C cameras vs Full Frame cameras for wildlife. Some say that in newer 40MP FF bodies the cropping is better for subjects like birds, while others say the reach of APS-C bodies is better.
I plan to acquire a gear setup for Bird photography and I would appreciate immensely the insights from your experience.
I have watched many Lightroom videos but you always seem to pull the rabbit out of the hat so go ahead and surprise me again.
How about editing with the tone curve?
I use luminance range a lot
The tone curve adjustment is something I always go to in Lightroom! I would like to learn more about colour grading, calibration and the many masking options available.
Some people hide facts, and give only for likes and views. But this man, gives everything he knows to us like how a Dad teaches his sons ❤
Totally agree, Good job Simon!!
I recently find this channel and i absolutely agree with that are you saying!! This guy is awesome
Bro, this man give me a courage to use higher iso... And its mean a lot for me, as i a budget photographer...
I love it here!!
Really like how this guy show the info!
Now that's what I call a useful example on how to use lightroom for a beginner like me. Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
This man is so damn good at break down complex things into simple easy to understands points of view. Best photo tip channel on YT

You are very welcome

I mean, i watch tons of editing videos and this is the most useful secret-free of all time.
Really appreciate this man!
I've been discouraged about my photos looking flat. You've given me hope and a path toward success. Bless you Sir!
I could watch hours of this kind of tutorial. I lack vision…all the technical technique in the world is useless without vision. This is so helpful! Thanks!
Even as a lightroom pro this video was a great reminder of the power that gradients can have in my workflow. Thank you!

Simon is my only go to when it comes to photography. Absolutely love his work.
Me watching him using fancy tools with ohhhand ahhh but i only have the free version😂
This is one of the very few actually useful editing videos on UA-cam. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow, thank you!
Don’t typically comment on videos but couldn’t help but chime in. Appreciate your clear and thorough instructions. Gained a subscriber
Awesome! Thank you!
This is one of the best lightroom videos i have ever seen. Thanks
One of the best Tutorials on editing photos in LR (or any other software with similiar functions and workflows) i have seen so far. Thank you so much Simon for helping us to grow!
Awesome Video. i never have learnt any editing tool or used it effectively. From your video, it is clearly math, logic and common sense
I actually have so many photos that I thought were hopeless / didn't know how to properly edit that will really benefit from your techniques
I keep watching this video time and time again as it teaches me a lot with regards to lightroom 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Very good tutorial. There's many other tutorials out there with topic as "How to make your photos looks better using Lightroom" and then next thing I hear while watching it is something like "I'm not going to dive in on how to use Lightroom", very disappointing.

VERY dramatic and impressive editing quickly! I now see how LR tools can be used in concert with one another.....so powerful if done right. I need to make local gradual changes instead of trying to make large global changes.
This is one of the best made „how to“ Lr videos i have ever seen. I really love this channel. 🙏🏻
Simon you quickly becoming my favorite UA-camr
This is a perfect demo for where I'm up to with editing.
I’m under the weather today, but these videos make me want to get outside and have fun 😊
You should!
That was great! Thanks for the tips, Simon!
Thanks for the video. These methods are so simple yet HUGE on how they impact a dull photo. I am an American that lives in Germany, and while there are many great things to photograph, there are also many dark grey days. This video was exactly what I needed to see. Thanks.
this video make my eyes bigger, just a little bit but the photo so impress! thank you.
Thank you so much for posting something like this. I think this is going to help me look at my editing differently and really upgrade my work. Thank you again!
Even your free ebook is better than most paid material around UA-cam. Again, congrats for the work.
Wow, thank you!
This... is probably THE most creatively changing (life changing) video I have seen. Thank you Simon!!!! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! This was so much awesome information. Thank you so much for these amazing tips!!
all of this was so similar to painting , can't wait to use the sandwich technique it's new for me; thank you so much !
You are so welcome!
Wow I always learn something new in each of your videos
Thank you for this Amazing tutorial. I never thought that the gradients could bring a slight 3D effect on the flat, 2D type areas in an image. Much appreciated !

Simon, thanks for sharing these simple light room editing tips.
Glad you like them!
Brilliant explanation- like a cheat code for photos!
Absolutely love the First Tip 🫡 used it immediately, Thanks 😌👌
This tutorial is thrilling ! Awesome ! Great insight into post-processing concept !
I'm going to have to get LR, now. Just started bird photography and love the idea of a darker background etc.
Thank you.
I think this is a really great tutorial. I've seen a lot of nature and landscape photographers do some very heavy handed lightroom work and yours definitely is more of 'enhancing realism' as opposed to just 'a big flashy landscape'. Both are totally valid and I like both!
Im not kidding, these techniques blow my mind. I only started using LR a few years ago and had no idea you could do all these things with it!
WOW, I see many videos about photography but yours really stand out... Well done!
Wow, thank you!
