Thank you, Anthony. You can always get the original LR Presets back to default in the Lightroom settings: - open Preferences - choose Presets Tab - click on "Restore Local Adjustment Presets" With these subtle adjustments I would definitely recommend to set the brush flow to around 70%, so you can build up the effect with consecutive brush strokes. With this you have an additional possibility compared to only adjusting the brush sliders.
Amazing tutorial! I have a question: At the very end of the video, where you wanted to reduce skin softening, how did you get all the pins to show up again on the subject's face, so you can go back to fix that specific adjustment?
I have used these techniques in Lightroom in the past and they work great. Could you show how to do this in Luminar 2018 as one of your Tips and Tricks video? Thanks, Ric.
it is June 2020 and this is still very helpful. Thank you so much for all your videos, they really have helped me a lot and have improved the product I am able to put out!
Wow man I just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. I'm new to photography and loving it so far. There's so much to learn and work on when you start out. This tutorial definitely taught me a great deal about editing portraits. Can't wait to watch your other material. Thanks again.
Thanks for this tutorial. Is there a reason why my lightroom classic doesn't have the preset dropdown for iris, softening skin etc? How do I get those presets? thanks
This video is very helpful, thank you so much for sharing. I heard you mention in the video that if you're interested in high fashion that you may have to use photoshop instead for retouching portraits. I have interest in high fashion photography and was wondering if you had some tips on how to retouch portraits in photoshop?
I would have loved to see you finish the processing for this one - I have been following all of the classes so this would have brought it all together. Maybe a follow-up video?
When using the Brush Tool and going to the Custom effects I am not seeing the soften skin, Iris Enhance etc, are these included with Classic CC or are these your own ??? if they are included why am I not seeing them ??
Auto Mask can produce weird effects on structured areas like skin. Remember, it's actively looking for "edges". On the other hand, the teeth whitening would be perfectly suited for Auto Mask. There you are painting on a solid surface with very distinct edges to another area (the gums).
Dor Jon I needed to check the correct terms on Wikipedia :-) I think the iris, which defines the eye color, is difficult. Auto Mask could be fooled by the structure of the colored parts, at least with brigt eyes like Anthony's son has. Working with Auto Mask on the outer white shell (called the sclera) should be fine, because it is very uniform.
Andreas Farsch (writing as a doc. here!) Either way, the rim is sharp and defined and the sclera is most certainly not uniform (blood vessels!). I use LR badly but still think that automask has a big place in working on eyes. Still have much to learn here

Great tutorial. Literally touched on everything I was exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you, Anthony.

You are amazing Anthony ! you explain really well, since last two days I am watching your tutorials. Thank you for making these teaching videos !
What about skin softener with new feture in LR - Texture? Does it make significant difference now and how you use it for retouching?

Real helpful, thanks Anthony. That portrait is razor sharp. What camera and lens did you use?
This video is very helpful, thank you so much for sharing.

Really helpful tutorial! I learned how to use brush presets! I wasn't aware of them!
I would have loved to see you finish the processing for this one - I have been following all of the classes so this would have brought it all together. Maybe a follow-up video?
Hi Anthony i love the way you explain things I lve lightroom.
Thank you so much very valuable lesson without having to open Photoshop
Very Informative! Thank you.
Another excellent video Anthony, thank you.
Now they have texture
CC
Great!
When using the Brush Tool and going to the Custom effects I am not seeing the soften skin, Iris Enhance
etc, are these included with Classic CC or are these your own ??? if they are included why am I not seeing them ??
Is your image a RAW file? (.CR2 , .DNG)? LR doesnt have as many presets for JPEGs
@@Brittow I always shoot RAW and convert to DNG on import into Lightroom
This series has been very helpful indeed. Thank you. Any reason why you do not use “auto-mask” with brushes?
I was wondering the same thing.
Auto Mask can produce weird effects on structured areas like skin. Remember, it's actively looking for "edges". On the other hand, the teeth whitening would be perfectly suited for Auto Mask. There you are painting on a solid surface with very distinct edges to another area (the gums).
Andreas Farsch but also iris edges and cornea edges, against lids?
