6 things you SHOULD be doing when EDITING PHOTOS // This is a list of 6 things you should be considering when editing photos. You don't need to do all of these every time, but they are definitely things you should think about. I walk through Lightroom and Photoshop to show some techniques and edits.

*I know the audio is EQed badly. This is something I have fixed on my newer videos. Feel free to tell me again if you want to.*
I didn't even notice it, but I suppose that just makes it more evident what a novice I am...
I didn’t notice it either.
@@amyd5771 after watching it again on my phone, maybe it's an issue with smaller speakers or if turning it extra loud?
Jamie, we have to talk about this audio, it makes you sound like you’re from the U.K. or something. 😁
Please what is the name of the app?
"Take a break" is the best advice. So true!
This. All good advice, but this. :)
His advice is top notch!
I was just saying I’m giving a thumbs up for this tip alone, but great video with very valuable information!
I love how in a concise 30 second intro the creative flow of your transitions puts most Cinematic Vloggers to shame, AND you just get on with the actually content of the video.
Thank you and thanks for the tips.
So well put !
I appreciate that as well. A lot of vloggers repeat every statement about 4 or 5 times before getting into the meat of the information.
Yeah totally correct there are times when long intros just. Deter me from even bothering
Totally agree, brilliant intro.
Spot on Deathbynature. First time I've come across Jamie but loved his concise presentation. A breath of Fresh air in the quagmire of mediocrity of UA-cam presenters.
These must take an age to write and produce - I really appreciate all the effort you go to. Amazing.
0:41 consider cropping your image
3:03 use white balance to make your shot feel right
5:07 selectively lighten and darken aka dodge and burn
6:44 edit in 16-bit
9:26 level and straighten your image
11:05 take a break
Another tip, that could be added to your last, is to mirror the image. This allows you to see the picture again "for the first time" and spot any inconsistencies you didn't spot before.
Great content, keep up the good work! 😁
Sugoi Sugoi Pictures great tip. Aside from photography I’m also an illustrator. Often times, the image can be off balance and you don’t notice until you mirror it
Thanks. Sounds really fundamentally.
How do you mirror your image in Lightroom?
@@virtualwarp Select photo, develop, press "photo" tab in the top of the window and select "flip horizontally"
@@christianrasmussen1
Thanks. I've been working with Lightroom for years and never used this feature.
Your 13 minute video is more informative than what others wold probably charge hundreds of pounds to teach us. And definitely saved me many hours of just googling for informations as such. I appreciate the time you took to help us. Many thanks!!
Alin Musat I wholeheartedly agree! Heck, I even learned something from this video. 😍
100% agree
Sweet editing and in camera transitions, Jamie!
Thanks. I went a bit over the top with this one I think.
The information you possess is so invaluable! I’ve recently graduated from uni and your videos have taught me more than what I’ve learnt from the whole 3 years at uni!
That 8bit/16bit tip! thank you so much! 🤟🏻
Uau... didn't know that... very very useful!!
Right??! I didn't know that either.
Me too. Banding is the curse of my life because of my dramatic style.
Mindblown by the 8bit/16bit!
"The content of your image is more important than the technical quality of it". Perfect, and doesn't only relate to cropping.
Really hit home that one. I have to force myself to crop, as I get so caught up in the idea of presententing detail, thinking that eventual viewers will also zoom in and marvel at leaf detail when they absolutely won't and dont..
I can only imagine how much planning went into putting these cool camera transitions together not only during editing but also the whole process of coming up with the concept.
I've been shooting for decades and processing for about 10 years. Even so, I found this video very interesting and informative. Great presentation style and lots of very helpful and relevant images to show examples. I learned a great deal. Thank you so much for posting this. You have a new subscriber!
What I really like with you Jamie, is that you are actually talking to "me" - you share your great knowledge with such ease and you really take your time to explain this to even a non-photographer like me. Thanks a million Jamie!
Thanks. I'm glad you can take something from them.
Agreed
The 16 bit editing tip was awesome. Thank you so much!
Jamie, thank you very much for the time and effort you put on your videos. I have been watching for quite sometime, you help me a lot! I wish you all the best, you deserve the world my friend.
I love your videos so much. I have been shooting for 30 years, your work lets me know I can still grow and I enjoy your perspectives and delivery. You are in it, connected to the work and in the spirit. Thank you.
Now that's a thumbnail
You video Intro and video composition is Top quality production. About the information very useful. Thanks!!!
Came back to this after months (due to yt recommendation) and realized how much this has become my workflow. I started photography about 7 months ago.
Now I am in a state though, where I want to edit less and less, and get things right in-camera, as I feel as a hobby, editing like this can sometimes distract you too much from the story you're trying to tell.
Thanks for showing!
Watching this, made me wish that I was in a photography class in college and that you were my professor. The passion in the video is awesome, I think your students would learn a lot because they wouldn’t be bored
The last tip was the most important tip... Sometimes I end up over-editing my images only to regret months later...
Same! I hate when I do that
Your videos just kick butt. Always excellent. 👌👌
Fantastic advice, very organically and fluidly presented. Love it!
The way he explains and shows examples is just very immaculate. Very helpful for people who want to learn!
number 6, real experience talk. Something I been overlooked for soooo long. Thank you Jamie!!
this is a beautiful video. thank you so much for the effort and the insight.
Things like "Quality of the content is more important than technical quality" or the last tip are the reason I love this channel (or Jamie himself). It's not just all technical but focuses on points where the technical aspects just aren't important at all! He for example doesn't only talk about what focal lengths different lenses have but rather how you should use different focal lengths to bring your point across. And that is so much more important! That's what sets him apart from many other channels!
If you're looking for someone like this more on the videography side then I can only recommend you Mark Bone!
Oh, and I also love this channel because of the super creative transitions and things like the sixth finger on the thumbnail! Love that!
I wish you the best, Jamie
Keep the content coming! :)
i've just began taking my photography more seriously/trying to build my style! this video was very helpful and not a swamp of info so i appreciate that very much!
this was by far one of the most helping videos I've ever watched about editing.
so simple and useful.
What I love about your content is how you give out great, concise advice, with examples from the Masters.
i totally love the way you explain things along with doing practical examples that just makes things a lot more easy to understand.
Thank you!! This was helpful. I like that you mentioned taking a break.
One of my favourite, honest, down to earth photography teacher. Always admire the high level of editing in your work whilst maintaining minimalism in work and message. Thanks again!
Your channel has became my favorite one, not only because of the nice tips you always give us, but because of the explanation on every step and the reasons behind any artistic decision.
Thanks!!
Oh, thank you! This is the first time the 8/16-bit issue has been so clearly explained to me.
The 6th one is actually the best one IMO, because when I'm learning or trying new things I often end up really liking what I'm doing, and coming back a few hours/days later I realize I could do better. It allows also to see the picture during day and night, and since my screen is not extraordinary, I'm also doing a double check with my phone later
I also like doing something inspired from programming: pair editing, having another photographer with me while I'm editing giving me feedback on what I'm over doing/what can be improved/what I'm missing
thanks btw your vids are excellent!
Honestly, you're one of the photographers and creatives I enjoy watching. Aside from the really nifty edits and cuts, you provide some relevant insight that's important for us to think about us. Sometimes I feel like as a photographer I get obsessed with certain details, when I should try experimenting a bit more and not be so bound by rules or "technical details" in an image.
Awesome upload, Jamie.
Highlight of the week - a new Jamie Windsor video. Especially loved the 8bit/16bit tip. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Yeh awesome 👏
Just make sure you're importing your raw photo/dng in 16bpc and Adobe RGB for maximum editing range. Then convert it back to sRGB for web publishing. Otherwise the colors will look off (less saturated).
Finally, someone that can deliver a lot of information in a short period of time without straying from the point or constantly repeating themselves. Nicely done! The conversion from 8-bit to 16-bit to 8-bit is going to help a lot. Thanks.
I'm a film student who recently picked up photography as a hobby. Both to improve my sense of composition and light and because it honestly is just a lot of fun. While they're many great educational channels out there, I personally learned the most from you and I almost always get motivated to just go out and shoot. Just the other day I've finished editing a shoot I did and now that I'm rewatching this video, I'm realising how much of your advice naturally stuck with me from when I first watched this video months ago.
Thank you Jamie for sharing these valuable tips much appreciated
Hands down best photography videos on the website! I always feel so inspired with photography after every video.
Thank you for providing these tips among others and the great advice to go along with them. Good show!
Can't say enough about the info, as simple as it may seem, clear, concise and so on target for me to follow; No.6, so true. Many thanks.
That's a daaamm good tutorial, not usual tips that we see everywhere, thanks a lot !!
Ohhh... the 8/16 bit editing part was illuminating
Blew my mind honestly. Like, that will fix sooo many issues
One more tip: simply add noise on that color gradient, and this banding is gone.
Btw, if your'e using Lightroom-Photoshop couple, or just open RAWs in Photoshop, get used to open raws in 16-bit in the first place. Photoshop has this option in Camera Raw, and Lightroom has it in export preferences. But you should export to PSD for edit in Photoshop.
Jamie is fantastic, so much knowledge shared in only one video. The 8 to 16 bit tip is pure poetry.
Totally agree with the last tip! Thanks for the video!
THE BEST thumbnail! Brilliant, simple to follow editing suggestions. Jamie, this and your video on black and white are fantastic. Well done.
I follow more photo/editing/videography-channels on UA-cam than I dare to admit. It´s ALOT. You sir are on another level than all others. It´s just something.. something unique about the vibe you manage to create.I cant always put my finger on what it is, i just know I love it.
Brilliant content Jamie, no faff, just straight-up info, and guidance. I'm just starting out with photography and you are such a trusted source. Thank you!
Bro, the video transitions blew my mind!!! Literally!!!🤯
Wow! The editing on this is absolutely stunning
A famous children's illustrator told me that he puts his art upside down and leaves it 4 time before coming back to finish it this is his technique for taking a break and being able to see it again for the first time
So I've taken flipping my images left right upside down because going through those motions tents actually draw my attention to any distractions or irregularities
Been rigorously learning as much as I can about Lightroom and Photoshop this past year. I learned some absolutely new things watching this vid! Much thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the tip about 16-bit/channel. That has answered an issue I've come across a number of times and couldn't figure out a clean answer to. So helpful!
Thanks Jaime! I was skeptical at first but your cropping examples brought a lot of integrity to that tip. Especially for people like me who tend to be more purist and want to get it right in camera. One suggestion. When discussing white balance. It’s helpful to let the term “white balance” simply be the normalization of an image with white whites and blacks blacks, etc. When it comes to stylizing your image whether it be warming it up or cooling it off or doing something more complex; this is no longer white balance because you are literally un- balancing the whites to get the look that you want. This stage can be referred to as a secondary edit, applying a “look”, stylizing the image, or something along those lines. In darkroom days it was just all considered “printing”. But it was always helpful to start with normalizing the image first so that you know better where to go with your adjustments to get the desired “look” while useing the normalized white balanced version as a reference and/or proof if working for a client who wants to see options.
I will never understand people unliking great videos like this. 🤔
As always, top-notch content from my fave photographer-youtuber 😊. I've just woken up, drinking my coffee and have never been this fast on clicking a notification lol
most of the dislikes are bots. :)
@@niightcrawlerr really?? Hmmm... Why would they do that?
Bobby Brown for balance ..... nothing is perfect . Everyone diff perceptions.... even bots 😆
Thank you for the tips. Taking a break is so important before finalizing edits
Thank you. I'm an architecture student and this was very helpful for me to have a better understanding of editing my model photos. Much obliged.
man, you got an awesome video transitions, I absolutely love them all!
I love your transitions. 👌🏽💯
i have watched a lot of clips and tutorials on youtube but you are a professional in every sense and level
No nonsense practical good advice! Excellent presentation Jamie
This is one of the best photography channels on UA-cam. I'm glad I found you
Your videos are just perfect,short and on point...I love them
Thank you Jamie! Your videos are so helpful and clear. Thank you for being so clear, kind, and inspiring. So many YT photographers are angry and just want to bash other's work. I appreciate that you do not come across this way.
Great video! Thank you, Jamie!
I find myself liking your videos before I even watch it because I know the effort you put into making quality content. Great stuff Jamie
“Six things but he’s only doing a 5 finger gesture in the thumbnail.”

Right!!😂

Lol missed that entirely til reading this!
Best comment genuinely 😂😂😂😂😂
Very informative and helpful video. Thanks Jamie!!
Haven't commented on a UA-cam video in ages, but wanted to say you really nailed these pieces of advice. Especially the part about stepping away after edits before closing-out! Great work.
Jamie, I've been learning photography and editing for just a few months and this stuff that you're putting out is a massive help for me. Thanks so much mate.
Rightly getting the recognition you deserve Jamie. Not just for your excellent tips, but for the thought and execution of the video itself! I love your attention to detail - for example, the 6 digits at 0:08, or the placement of the various bits of video in the intro. Sooooo good! Thank you for the effort you put in. It's really appreciated :)
Loved the "banding" tip! Thanks Jamie!
Some great tips Jamie! Thanx!
Wow that 8bit/16bit tip was amazing. Thank you !! Subscribing, also love your accent 😃
Taking a break after editing is the most important thing here. I've learned the hard way
Just what I needed. Thank you Jamie
Great video! I learned quite a lot of Lightroom and Photoshop features I didn't know about!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME!!!!!
I never found any youtuber told me to take a break but bruh that was the most crucial one
Just getting back into photography after a 3 year break. This is just what I needed. Thank you!
WAIT WHAT??! The 8bit to 16bit back to 8bit blew my mind.... went back on all my past photos and tried it.... game changer!! Thanks Jamie!!!
Banger tips🔥 I agree that telling stories with photos is 🔑
Thank you.
Brilliant. Just about pitched at the right level for me and picking up bits I didn't know about LR, which I'm using to a decent standard. Thanks.
Amazing info as always and very relatable as a photographer.
Great video, 1 tip from me:- ask yourself "what is this photo about?" Then start working towards bringing that out.
Thanks
Simple but great suggestion!! Thanks!
Outstanding tips Jamie! Happy New Year... Hope 2019 brings you all of the riches that you deserve! Be well and stay encouraged :-)
Thank you. Happy new year to you too.
Great video, thanks Jamie!
Thank you for the expert advise! I LOVE the way you explain things really helps me understand.
Im literally editing pics rn as u uploaded this lol
Been doing photography for a year now and started editing two days ago, hopefully gonna get better soon lol
Love ur videos and I never skip the ads, keep it going man
Thanks. I don't plan on stopping any time soon.
The first 45 seconds... Dude, AMAZING! The rest : Amazing. Here, have my like & follow!
awesome! i love the examples you give
AMAZING TIPS !! Thank you so much James! I love your channel and I connect a lot with your teaching personality!
The thing I have the hardest time doing is I end up editing EVERY image I took in a shoot lol. I just ended up liking so many of them that I get sad and exhausted trying to make them ALL nice
Why UA-cam only allows me to like video once? I would like to press the like button for as many time as I can cause your video really taught me some seriously amazing skills for photography. Thank you!
Best videos I've seen so far on Editing tips !
Oh man. This is brilliant stuff. Thanks a lot Jamie.
This is such a well explained vid. High quality vlog. Thank you for this.
