I would be really interested in how you find locations and how you prefer to frame your shots😊Also, exporting and best techniques for quality prints😁 Amazing tutorial, I really enjoyed going through your personal edit style!
I'm new to Lightroom and this is one of the most clear and practical explanations I've seen yet. Thanks for making the whole editing process a bit less intimidating for us noobs! Also bought your Japan Photo Guide for a recent trip and found it to be an invaluable resource.
Pat, you're one of my favorite photography and editing UA-camrs right now. Your stuff is so clean, clear, and just aligns with my photography philosophy. Love your educational series too. Keep up the good work and don't stop creating.
12:14 This idea of pushing groups of color makes so much sense to me-I've never heard it put that way and it "clicked" all of a sudden. The color calibration video you did was awesome, btw.
We need more of this! I have watched this for like Idk? About twenty-seven times now? We need more end-to-end workflow! From landscape to portrait to street! Awesome frickin' style btw. I like how you utilize camera-color calibration in lightroom.
Pat, this was a fabulous video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I struggle in editing my own images, but by having videos like this one and others, it shows me the thinking and process of editing. As a visual learner, this really helps!
Love your teaching style, discovering your channel is a revelation! Great to see you talking in an authentic natural voice, compared to some UA-camrs who think they have to talk really fast and hyped up. Your style makes it easier to listen and learn from you, so thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Hi! I’m a Japanese guy. And I’m fan of you as well. Thanks for sharing your skills. It meant me a lot and gave me inspiration. Keep it up and hope to see another edit video😁
New to photography. An honest assessment from someone who is still scared shooting in full manual mode..... I felt this is by far the finest, the most comprehensive tutorial I have seen on UA-cam that gave you a glimpse, an insight into what a professional is thinking when he starts his post production workflow. Absolutely loved this tutorial and would love to see more tutorials showing you doing different types of edits.
Amazing work! This has taught me to slow down with my editing, and be more mindful of my desired subject. I speed through it and make all decisions on the fly. No more!
Man I really appreciate the thoughtful and analytical approach to your workflow, but more importantly, to your explanation. Super helpful to me as a student of the craft
That was very cool, I think you did a good job explaining your thought process, and having it broken down in sections is useful. Videos on composition (I really like your use of negative space), color calibration and tone curves would be awesome. Would also love a video about lenses and how to play with focal lengths to achieve different feels (background compression for example).
@@patkay great news :D also just curiosity, have you considered streaming in any way? I would really like to watch one of those editing sessions live, and would give you the opportunity to interact with your viewers too
great video! i still at 5:24 where restoring is the start line of the editing ( just realized that my current photo editing way is just a restoring process for you . )
Currently airplaying this to my TV because it helps to visualize the photo and the work being done… but my god by step 4 my mouth was open ❤️💪🏼 you have some skills and a new follower hope to see more of these! I have been trying to get that anime WB look for sooo long thank you for that!
Why did I just find out you had a youtube channel?! Been following you on instagram for ages, and damn, this videos do not disappoint. Thanks so much for sharing! Huge fan!
I really loved this video…the way you explain things , so clean, so clear , you are a great teacher mate, pls keep up with this good content. The podcast is great too!…I wish to see how you approach picture with photoshop!,
Really great tutorial! Little different than I am editing usually, which was fantastic. Love the way you reduced the color cast and enhanced the colors. Will try some of your techniques. Thanks!
Amazing video. I started messing around with Lightroom, and have no idea what I'm doing, especially with the color, and this just blew my mind. Thank you!
Im following you on instagram like a a year, and i just realized you have a youtube channel too. Your videos are so helpfull to me. I mean other creators want us to pay for this knowledge, so thank you Pat Kay, you are the best for me 🙂
I thought I was going to hate this video. Never have I been interested in photography....NEVER! Long story short, I am looking into grabbing the A7siii (wanted the FX3) and now interested in trying my hand at taking urban/street photography. Also, making an effort to learn how to edit (video/photo) in adobe looks fun, although, my start was on FCPX, but lacks photo editing in my opinion. Long video but learned a lot and well worth the watch. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic video and really helpful. Even more helpful than the stuff you used to put on patreon. Seeing the changes in real time helped me understand some things, e.g. ESL, way better than before. Thanks for making this video Pat, I hope there'll be more like this!
Hi! I loved your video and I would like to thank you for your way of speaking because as not English native speaker I could understand everything you said while watching ✨ Have a nice day ☺
That was a great tutorial and incredible finished product! Thank you for sharing, and for talking so candidly about what works for you. I often wonder why I'm using certain tools, and will just chock it up to "because I think it looks better". I appreciate you going in depth explaining the calibration and HSL settings which have always been intimidating and something I simply avoid.
This feels like an incredibly basic question, one I should know the answer to, but that has given me some trouble-how do you set the brightness of the monitor you use for editing, and how do you think about that in terms of printing an image vs. exporting a digital image for IG or other media?
dude this video seriously upped my LR game, thank you so much. I am scared of looking at old photos now because I know they are horrendously processed haha. Cheers!
Your eye for small details is mindblowing!! Do you ever fall into a dilemma whether to keep the image as accurate as possible compared to reality, or alter it to your own liking?
Really enjoyed this thorough process! I like to take a lot of portraits but I find when I edit them in lightroom it has a big effect on skin tones. Could you perhaps make a tutorial like this but with portraits and explain how you can combat it in lightroom?
Achievement unlocked - PAT'S editing style Reward: unlocked "Pats editing style" lvl 1 Thanks for another great video! Super helpful! Do you play around much with colour theory and the psychology behind it?
haha congrats on the achievement, now to cop that plat. many levels to go! ;) and yeah, I do, a lot. as someone who has a background in more traditional art and design, it's something I use heaps!
Thanks for sharing your workflow. I will take a close look at some of my old pictures that I thought would be ruined and see if I can bring a little life through changing the colors the way you did.
Thank you for this video! I haven't used LR for so long and realised I never knew how to use it fully before...so much to learn! :) Cheers from Melbourne!
Thank you for showing us your editing process and the thought process behind it. I just learned more about Lightroom in this video than I have by watching and working on the tutorials that Adobe has available. I love your videos - keep up the awesome work! You are appreciated! :)
best tutorial, clear precise and easy to follow thank you for sharing this tutorial definitely changed my work. I would like to see on day light with the nature.
Excuse my question please, but I couldn't hear clearly which key did you tap for exposing "before and after"? I only know about "y" key, but I liked your option better.
That's a great video, thanks. I've been using LR for years, but actually learned quite a lot from this, especially the colour management. Much appreciated.
Thanks for taking you through the process. Colours is something I always had problems with early on in my editing but I think I have a bit more control now using colour balance tint and HSL. I don't really use split toning much!
I always take my contrast slider down about 15 before jumping into the tone curve, just to counter any camera added contrast and giving the curves more control over the image. Then can always add a little back in later
This is absolutely brilliant and I'm so thankful for your channel. The explanations are very much appreciated and so so helpful. How do you approach editing hundreds of photos at once? For example, shooting an event or a potrait session? Do you have a preset that you assign to all and then tweak individually? Or do you edit each photo individually?
What is the shortcut for 'before and after' in the latest version of Lightroom on a MacBook? It used to be 'Y', but it doesn't work anymore, unless I click on the dedicated LR button with the mouse. Thx for the video. Awesome insights and welcome inspiration! : )
I love how it's still something new even though i might've watched all your other vids with adobe for like x number of times already! Im interested on the fine tuning stuff coz I think that's something you haven't done so far! Overall, really enjoyed this video! Thanks for this pat! 💯
Haha glad you're getting value out of those ones too! I'll be redoing a few of those ideas in future vids on this channel for myself, but what kinda fine tuning stuff are you referring to? Maybe I can make vids on those too!
Pat, which key did you press at 8:16 to get the before and after views? First time I've seen one of your videos and all I can say is I'm really impressed. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Pat. I'd never heard it referred to as the PIPE key before. Not only am I learning new ways with Lightroom from your video, I'm learning new terminology too.
What kind of editing tutorial would you like to see next?
I would be really interested in how you find locations and how you prefer to frame your shots😊Also, exporting and best techniques for quality prints😁 Amazing tutorial, I really enjoyed going through your personal edit style!
Nature stuff please!
Calibration, definitely.
Color Calibration, could be a great tutorial!
can u do a portrait editing tutorial please?
Loved this video please do one with a model, to see how you deal with skin tones!!
Second this

I really love the mood of your photograph, and this video was so far the best tutorial on UA-cam👍
Looking forward seeing your next post:)
thanks for watching!

Great to see you talking in an authentic natural voice, compared to some UA-camrs who think they have to talk really fast and hyped up. Your style makes it easier to listen and learn from you, so thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Fantastic walk-through! Split-toning is something I've been missing. Thanks for all the great info on your channel.
Split toning is now the color grading for those who pay for lightroom license
I love your color style a lot and I’m so happy that you share your workflow with us!
thanks for watching!
@@patkay want more of these😍 maybe do a portrait workflow next time? I love your portraits too🙈🙈
Hi! I’m a Japanese guy. And I’m fan of you as well.

This is the best photo editing tutorial I've watched
You deserve more visibility! I'm loving all your tutorials!
Hello Pat.
Didn’t mention how I love your tutorials and how you deliver clear and very,very useful information.
Thanks a lot!

Videos on composition (I really like your use of negative space), color calibration and tone curves would be awesome. Would also love a video about lenses and how to play with focal lengths to achieve different feels (background compression for example).
Thanks for those suggestions! I've got one planned about negative space coming up so look out for that soon =)

haha i'll try bro!
You explain everything so simply, is really good... Doesn't this blues bulb you use over the desk changes how you look at the colour?

One of the best editing tutorial ever!!
aw glad you enjoyed it!
Just learning editing on LRC ... I have a good understanding now on the Library , so this was great..
Fantastic video and really helpful. Even more helpful than the stuff you used to put on patreon. Seeing the changes in real time helped me understand some things, e.g. ESL, way better than before. Thanks for making this video Pat, I hope there'll be more like this!
there will be! and thanks for being around when i used to have Patreon!
You are amazing, I'm glad I discovered you.
Amazing tutorial. You’re a gem Pat! Happy to have found your channel
Hi! I loved your video and I would like to thank you for your way of speaking because as not English native speaker I could understand everything you said while watching ✨ Have a nice day ☺
This is pure gold
OUTSTANDING. This really cleared up many questions I had about editing workflow. Thanks

i´m a beginner to lightroom and your video with all the explanations really helped me ..thank you so much!
Invaluable. Thank you for letting us be a fly on the wall for your full process.
This feels like an incredibly basic question, one I should know the answer to, but that has given me some trouble-how do you set the brightness of the monitor you use for editing, and how do you think about that in terms of printing an image vs. exporting a digital image for IG or other media?
Brooowwww You just change my whole game brow, thank u so much... 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
ps. those littles shortcuts help a lot
dude this video seriously upped my LR game, thank you so much. I am scared of looking at old photos now because I know they are horrendously processed haha. Cheers!
Really cool to see your thought process behind the editing. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Your eye for small details is mindblowing!! Do you ever fall into a dilemma whether to keep the image as accurate as possible compared to reality, or alter it to your own liking?
Great content, thought process and workflow. Enjoyed watching every second.
Excellent presentation & delivery Pat, thanks.
Very interesting. Good to keep learning others perspectives and subjective choices. Is there an up to date version with new Lr tools?
Really enjoyed this thorough process! I like to take a lot of portraits but I find when I edit them in lightroom it has a big effect on skin tones. Could you perhaps make a tutorial like this but with portraits and explain how you can combat it in lightroom?
great quality conteeeent, as always 💯🔥
Thanks man!
Thank you for your time and presentation. My head is happily full now... appreciated
ayee keeping up with the uploads bro good work
this consistency is fun haha
Thank you so much....you definitely open my eyes on massaging colour !!!
dude you have such a calming voice. Loved the video. would like to see a model next time. on and I subbed. good luck.
Wonderful! I love your pace and it's just a golden nugget all through
The pre-instagram crop is a lot better in my opinion.
Thanks for the video!
Pat, I love your overall approach. Thx for the tut - wonderful :)
Thanks Pat. I’ve used Lightroom since it’s very beginning and learned things I hadn’t understood before. Great job sir!
Extremely valuable for me, who has Zero knowledge about Lightroom.

and yeah, I do, a lot. as someone who has a background in more traditional art and design, it's something I use heaps!
We have very similar taste. I love moody photos I can feel. You explained your photo style very well. Thanks for this you got a new sub.
Loved this. More of these please.
Thanks for sharing your workflow. I will take a close look at some of my old pictures that I thought would be ruined and see if I can bring a little life through changing the colors the way you did.
I am not using LR for now, only CR and PS but this is great video. You explain very well and I think I can use the principles in CR. Thank you.
Loved this. No frills, straight to the point. Succinct , yet informative. More please!
Thank you for this video! I haven't used LR for so long and realised I never knew how to use it fully before...so much to learn! :) Cheers from Melbourne!
Thank you for showing us your editing process and the thought process behind it. I just learned more about Lightroom in this video than I have by watching and working on the tutorials that Adobe has available. I love your videos - keep up the awesome work! You are appreciated! :)
This was such an awesome video, very informative and entertaining. Awesome content all around, fantastic work, brother!
Thanks for watching!
I’m wondering why the crop wasn’t first in the tutorial? Great edit- love the style!
Thank you for explaining this so well
Inspiring! I'm about to get back into photography and I needed to see this.
Would you show us how to use curves and local adjustments on a deeper way? Thanks for these kind of videos, it's really good quality content!
possibly in a future video!
best tutorial, clear precise and easy to follow
thank you for sharing this tutorial definitely changed my work. I would like to see on day light with the nature.
nice sharing pat! ❤️ more videos like this pleaseee, and yeah, what kind lenses you use or anything else. 😬
more tutes coming in the future, don't worry! =)
I love this. You explain very well. Did you every use darktable yo edit your pictures. I would love a video on that.
Excuse my question please, but I couldn't hear clearly which key did you tap for exposing "before and after"? I only know about "y" key, but I liked your option better.
This was actually so helpful
Great video, the only thing missing was the export settings.
you have great content. you deserve so many more subs! keep it up! 💯
thank you :)
Amazing! Thank you for this tutorial.
That's a great video, thanks. I've been using LR for years, but actually learned quite a lot from this, especially the colour management. Much appreciated.
The PieMuffin approves! Love the walk-through !
Would love an updated version of this considering LRC/ ACR updates
Thanks for taking you through the process. Colours is something I always had problems with early on in my editing but I think I have a bit more control now using colour balance tint and HSL. I don't really use split toning much!
I always take my contrast slider down about 15 before jumping into the tone curve, just to counter any camera added contrast and giving the curves more control over the image. Then can always add a little back in later
Can you explain what each setting means? Like - What does the histogram depict? What information do i gather with it?
Great video, but I’d love to see you do one on editing your landscape pics.
Any chance you could do a video on exporting from Lightroom for instagram, Facebook & for printing? In details? 🙏
Quick question, if it's not too late. Why edit the whole image (and worry about al those details) if you're going to crop so much of it?
Thanks for sharing! Do you use the contrast slider? Or just stick to the tone curve to add contrast?
I don't usually; I always control contrast with the tone curve because it looks more natural =)
Hell yes. Another editing video!!!! 💯💯💯
hope you like this one!
This is absolutely brilliant and I'm so thankful for your channel. The explanations are very much appreciated and so so helpful. How do you approach editing hundreds of photos at once? For example, shooting an event or a potrait session? Do you have a preset that you assign to all and then tweak individually? Or do you edit each photo individually?
This is the best lightroom tutorial in youtobe, Sir
Awrsome. I think i personally liked it wide before your vertical crop
Yeah I like it better too, but you know, Instagram.
What is the shortcut for 'before and after' in the latest version of Lightroom on a MacBook? It used to be 'Y', but it doesn't work anymore, unless I click on the dedicated LR button with the mouse. Thx for the video. Awesome insights and welcome inspiration! : )

Thank you, really appreciated.
Yeah the pipe key. You can also toggle each individual panel on and off while reviewing too. =)
Thank you Pat. I'd never heard it referred to as the PIPE key before. Not only am I learning new ways with Lightroom from your video, I'm learning new terminology too.
