Enjoyed that Mark. Great edits.
Thanks for watching Glyn! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
Excellent! This is the "art" part of photo processing…knowing what effect you are after is every bit as important as knowing how to manipulate the controls in LR.
I appreciate your comment. It definitely helps me knowing what direction to take a photograph. Thank you for watching!
Lots of great ideas, thanks!
Thanks for letting me know, and thank you for watching Karsten 🙏🏻
Awesome.... bought this pack already created some amazing images (according to me). ☺
Thanks for buying the pack and glad to hear you’ve achieved some amazing results.
Not bad. Personally I prefer more rich blacks in my dramatic images. Thank you for sharing. I learned some nice techniques to add to my workflow.
Thanks for the comment and for watching Chad. Appreciate it.
Another hit with this video!
Thanks you so much! Appreciate the support!
always enjoy your editing, Mark. Another good tut. Thanks
Appreciate it a lot Rob! Hope you’re well!
Beautiful ! Subscribed 🤗
Thanks for subscribing 😊
I just started playing with the D&D presets. They're great, thanks! I think I need to develop a new eye for editing in this style cuz I like the look.
Great to hear, enjoy using them and hope you find a style you can settle on… it’s so much fun coming up with new ways to use Lightroom for creativity!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Mark. Keep going man.
Thanks so much Kobus! Thanks so much for watching and for the support!
Mark, I am enjoying your preset pack very much. With the Dark and Dramatic presets, it increases the exposure and
brightness significantly. Am I using them incorrectly?
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. Remember, presets are just a good starting point, and they all need tweaking. It all depends on what your initial photo exposure is. If your photo is bright, it will react differently with the presets to a photo that is slightly underexposed. You’re not doing anything wrong 😊 just adjust the exposure slider or reduce the contrast.
@@MarkDumbleton Thanks Mark!
Wow, what a difference in the before and afters! In a good way, of course! Good tutorial, too!
Thanks so much for the feedback 😊 appreciate the support as always 🙏🏻
Excellent tutorial. My images tend to look like your "before" version in part because I didn't know how to get to the look of the "after". Thanks for showing me how I might get there. One question - when you open up the shadows and blacks so much, do you introduce noise into your images? If so, do you denoise them before working with blacks and shadows?
Thanks for the comment Robert. One unavoidable effect of opening up the shadows is the increase in noise. This can be cleaned up easily using the new AI DENOISE in Lightroom. I have a video about the DENOISE in Lightroom which goes in depth on what it actually does to the images.
Did you make all the presets yourself? How do you make presets for just the color grading or just the highlights. Didn’t know that was possible.
Yes I made them myself. When you create the preset, you’re given the option to choose which settings get saved with the preset.
@@MarkDumbleton wow. Had no idea. So you have a video on that?
Not t at this point, but a quick search on UA-cam on how to create presets will yield many videos.
I started playing around with the Dark & Dramatic presets. They seem to brighten up my images a hellavu lot. I suppose you have to add the vignette to it to darken it again
Hi Jackie, it does largely depend on the brightness of your image, but apply the preset and then adjust the exposure slider accordingly. Adding a vignette will darken the edges nicely.
Hey Mark, are the presets created in the .xmp format? Would need to use them in ACR.
Hi Steve, yeah they are .XMP so it will work in ACR no problem. Drop a reply if you struggle with them 👍🏻
Wow I pay for Lightroom every month but have only used PS up until now >> Problem is its a small thing >> My Raw NEFs are straight into Bridge and I want them to go to Lightroom instead of PS >> I have battled over the years but Mark I am not ashamed to admit it >> My computer skills are a bit backward Great to have connected again and I have subscribed.. I have thousands of images processed in Adobe Camera RAW can these be opened into LR afterwards like mine go to PS when I open after doing the RAW conversion ???
Hi Peter, if you have a .XMP file associated with your .NEF files you can import them into LR and the edits will show. If you have no .XMP files then the image will show with no edits.
I’m buying your presets, so you can use multiple on one photos?
Hi Ken, yes you can use multiple presets on any photo, also depends which presets target which sliders when combining presets. Thanks for the support.
@@MarkDumbleton I sent an email about installing if you maybe have instructions
@@MarkDumbleton got that thanks for quick response! I didn’t know you could import zip (after opening main zip) direct 👍👍
Thanks!! I never know exactly which goes where with creative and the first drop down, but learning!!
Good work, thank you... but what is that dreadful background noise
Thanks for commenting. It’s music, I assume you prefer tutorials with no music?
It has always been my preference, no distraction, but of course there is music and then there is music
That of course is a personal thing, have you seen Mads Iver Peterson's site? Great photographer, he uses music to enhance the viewing experience... Anyway keep up the good work and the very best for you
Appreciate the message, I’ll definitely give more consideration. To the music. Yes I know Mads, his stuff is great.
That's Mads Peter Iverson.. opps
I figured :) his stuff is really great and the landscapes he visits are incredible!
