Your videos are incredible. I am learning a lot from your videos. I'm Brazilian and I speak Portuguese and I use a translator to understand what you say in the video. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting to see your editing process on pictures taken by your followers. It's great to see how fast you can interpret in your mind what are the necessary edits to improve the picture. I still struggle sometimes to know what I really want as an edit. And congratulations to all the ones who got selected, you all did great pictures !
The speed you are turning these photos into pieces of art is truly amazing. I always thought that no one edits photos so aesthetically pleasing as you do. Subtle and effective at the same time. Thank you for sharing.
What a wonderful, helpful video and a nice change from your normal content. As an amateur photographer, I have realised that the editing process is just as important as the initial capture, so it was so nice to see you edit so many photos and so quickly. I think it is easy to get disheartened when starting out because the photographs never seem to turn out how you envisaged them in your mind's eye. I therefore really appreciated this video. thank you Nigel.
The quality of the raw images other people get just astonishes me. I shoot on a Canon 6D and I've noticed in most videos I see on youtube, the raw unedited images are still sharper with much better color detail than anything I've been able to produce even after editing. I wish I could afford the masterclass as I think it could help a lot but until then, I'll just sit here gawking at the pictures I see.
Always find you videos interesting but I especially liked this one as it make me think a lot more about how to use radial filters to deal with the sun in sunset landscaping images as well as better handling uninteresting skies. Very well done!
What makes this video great is that it shows WHAT needs to be done with raw photos and WHY. Most tutorials on UA-cam just explain HOW to do this effect or that just by showing what each slider does, which is pretty lame, since most users can already achieve certain effects if shown the before&after images. So what really needs to be taught is how to evaluate photos, see their potential, decide what they need.
Yeah I’ve found that I have to use multiple methods to really clean up an image taken with a pretty dirty sensor. ESPECIALLY for ICM images. I use Visualize Spots and the 100 dehaze, I’ll have to try this method too! I recently noticed a spot on a large print I made that didn’t get caught by either my eye or the visualize spots function, so any new method is great.
Hi Nigel , Love your work Loving how you help others with so much passion. Humble & Kindness is spot on ( no spot brush required) lol Seriously, I have learned so much. I use an older version of L.R and editing is my passion. Thanks to your sharing of knowledge , experience and the click of the camera is always open 👍🤗 Enjoy this day ✌🤗
Another half hour well spent with a cup of coffee and a FREE Nigel Danson tutorial - thank you so much Nigel for sharing your wealth of experience with us!
Wow! What a pace! Brilliant! I like the variety of images you selected to show your editing skills. I need to watch it a few times to take it all in. Thank you Nigel.
This was a fantastic look into your editing process. I definitely loved watching your swagger across the LrC dash and work your magic in real time. Not only was it a treat, but I also was able to learn a few things about Lightroom that I didn't know before. Thanks for the video, Nigel! That was awesome.
So interesting. It shows how well you understand the potential of an image - sometimes it is hard to see/know what is needed in your own images. I know you have done videos on split toning, but maybe an updated one would be good. Personally I find those LR circles a bit tricky (I’m probably a bit clumsy and heavy-handed!).
Huge improvements in the photos you edited. The first 2 blew me away with the depth and focus points you emphasized. Loved all the edits. Heading to my computer now, thank you! Just added your presets to my own stack. Thanks, again.
It was great to see your take on my photo. I did also cropped the lower & LHS to balance the photo. I liked that you cropped the top sky and that you used the radial filer to warm up some of the fog. Opens our eye in different approaches and possibilities. Many thanks to all the edits you've shown us in this week video.
So glad you took the time to edit my photo. I have had the D610 for a few years now and sensor confetti is a regular issue for me. I really like the version you produced and it is similar to mine in many ways, though you have done more with the sun and I didn’t remove one of the liners. I also sent you one of the raw files I didn’t edit, as I had so many shots of that composition and the light was very different as the sun came up. I actually took three images of each shot, one stop apart in case I need to blend them, but found that the middle shot had all the detail I needed. Thanks again for choosing it, I enjoyed watching you edit it. It was a great video and I learned loads from the other shots too. Some great shots there. I will now go and clean my sensor.
Thanks so much for stepping through your edits. Incredibly helpful to see a master at work! Brilliant process and quite illuminating (all puns intended).
Love your style because you make it accessible for all photographers to improve their shots. I really like the edits some of which would make club judges have a hissy fit and that cant be bad.
Excellent video for those of us who only use, or mainly use 'Lightroom' . There seemed to be some really good compositions that were sent in to you...thank you for sharing...
Really great video, loved getting to see so many photographer's work and watching the editing process, even in an accelerated fashion, taught me a lot. Thanks!
Thanks for this video Nigel with great editing tips, I tend to over edit some of my images! And a big thanks for the webinar you conducted last week, it was excellent and I a lot. Looking forward to the next on.
I wish I could edit that fast & still get great images at the end. Sorry I missed the chance to enter as I don't really do Instagram much such a pain on a PC.
Really cool video Nigel, nice to see different takes on editing different images. Lightroom is getting silly powerful now isn't it; that, Photoshop and a plugin or two is just a combination with all the potential. Awesome images from everyone in there that you edited as well.
That was an awesome video! It is was great watching you edit your viewer's photos. I would love to see more of these and maybe some photo review videos as well!
I love shooting into the sun, despite the issues it causes me! seeing how you soften the sun was especially useful, albeit there is a lot here to sink one's teeth into.
Very interesting video, I tend to use C1 rather than lightroom but the techniques you demonstrated should transfer over. The mystery crop in the field was Barley by the way
Great job on editing some nice images you were sent . I’ve avoided Lightroom for years I find it supper complicated but I see it’s a great tool to have .
very glad of this video as through watching those great examples it's given me some confidence to revisit and edit those photos i'd later dismissed after thinking they were ok when i took them! thank you.
Very great video, in terms of respect for your followers, of creativity and how to see things. Also seeing myself what i can also learn about the different possibilities in Lr... Great!
Great video Nigel. It's just not fair that you make it look so easy. I have the Reverse Midas Touch when it comes to many aspects of photography. Cheerio, back to the salt mines for me.
Thank you Nigel for showing how you would edit my photo. I never thought to blow out the sky further and will have to give it a go myself now! And I do follow James Popsys too, as he use to shoot with the lumix g9 which is what I use, so may be why it's more of his style!
Great video and super images, learnt a lot, I'm not very good at editing, dont get much time to practise. Loved the deer shot and the horse at the end, I feel an animal adds something to a landscape.
i always overedit my images... that's my biggest effort to get better... thanks for sharing your editing process, that's helping me a lot to take it easy on those sliders
Really useful. Lightroom looks reasonably logical and I might look at getting it to edit photos. Liked and subbed - look forward to more vids. Cheers Cam, from NZ :)
Hi Nigel - Great vid, I like the combo of the more 'philosophical' videos, like last week, where you talk about how to enjoy taking the photos, and the more techy videos like this one. Is the scene at 30mins (castle and river) from between Dundee and Perth? If it is, I drive that road routinely from Aberdeen, and will think about that beautiful photo and edit now when i'm on that strech of road.
great video and photoreworking, but i do have a remark about the cropping of the images: i always feel like i have to stay within the well know cropformats (2:3 , 16:9, 1:1, 4:5, etc) for printing purposes. This obvious also limits choice. It seems that you go for the best compo free of any fixed formats. I am not printing at home, but with online service so i maybe wrongly assuming that I need to stick to those well known formats.
I have a question about cropping: Do you crop your own photos by ratio (like 3x4 oder 2x3) or do you crop "free form" like you did in this video? I personally crop only by ratio. It makes more sense to me in terms of printing or posting online.
I do the same as you Andreas but now it's pointed out it's interesting to think about that. My assumption would be when printing the image to go for a 'standard' ratio as otherwise you'd have to either get a bespoke frame of have uneven borders but perhaps others know different. Online posting then 'free cropping' would seem fine.

This was so great. I learned so much so quickly. The photographers who submitted are really good but, dang man, you are a whole other level.

I learn so much by watching others edit! Very nice Nigel!
Better spot removal - With the healing brush selected, click the check box below the image to 'Visualize spots'. Use the slider there as well.
Good point - I actually completely forgot about that...
Dehaze slider works as well. I hate spots... ;-)
Yeah I’ve found that I have to use multiple methods to really clean up an image taken with a pretty dirty sensor. ESPECIALLY for ICM images.

Well done chap! You’re a hard working man with a very keen eye. Thanks again for sharing knowledge and your talent.

Fantastic to see your editing process in this way. Thanks so much for selecting my image too Nigel!
Hey Steven! Your image is incredible, probably my favourite in the video! Do you mind me asking where it was taken? Thanks!
Great video Nigel! So much value here.
Huge improvements in the photos you edited. The first 2 blew me away with the depth and focus points you emphasized. Loved all the edits. Heading to my computer now, thank you! Just added your presets to my own stack. Thanks, again.

So glad you took the time to edit my photo.

Love watching your editing Nigel, always learn so much! Thanks for doing this.
Fabulous. Note to self... Spend more time learning these techniques.

Love your style because you make it accessible for all photographers to improve their shots. I really like the edits some of which would make club judges have a hissy fit and that cant be bad.
Thanks for producing this video, Nigel. Great insights on your vision of the work of others, and the ease of editing with Lightroom. Excellent work.
Great tutorial showing a variety of neat techniques. Thank you!
It's amazing how in a few minutes you can understand and extract its potential from an image. Great Nigel, many greetings from Italy
Thank you! Cheers!
wow great video! I learned so much! Please make more of these Nigel!!
Thanks for the excellent video Nigel. Learned a lot!
Excellent video for those of us who only use, or mainly use 'Lightroom' . There seemed to be some really good compositions that were sent in to you...thank you for sharing...
Nigel, this is one of your most useful videos. Thank you so much taking the time to create these and to share your knowledge. 👍👍
Excellent & educational, always makes me want to go exploring which I will do today!
Thanks Nigel. Good job 👏
Great video, seeing someone going through their editing process is very insightful and educational. Thanks for showing my image too.
Really great video, loved getting to see so many photographer's work and watching the editing process, even in an accelerated fashion, taught me a lot. Thanks!
Thanks for this video Nigel with great editing tips, I tend to over edit some of my images! And a big thanks for the webinar you conducted last week, it was excellent and I a lot. Looking forward to the next on.
Thanks for your videos Nigel 😀. So much YT I only watch once, but these I'm definitely coming back to. THANKS 👌
I wish I could edit that fast & still get great images at the end. Sorry I missed the chance to enter as I don't really do Instagram much such a pain on a PC.
Fun seeing you edit others photos! I’m surprised you removed the boat you did, because the other one seemed more centered between the pier and sun
Really cool video Nigel, nice to see different takes on editing different images. Lightroom is getting silly powerful now isn't it; that, Photoshop and a plugin or two is just a combination with all the potential.
Awesome images from everyone in there that you edited as well.
That was an awesome video! It is was great watching you edit your viewer's photos. I would love to see more of these and maybe some photo review videos as well!
Having you say that you liked one of my pictures is unbelievable, thank you so so much!!
I love it!
Great video Nigel! Very interesting to see your editing in lightroom. Thank you for sharing!
I love shooting into the sun, despite the issues it causes me! seeing how you soften the sun was especially useful, albeit there is a lot here to sink one's teeth into.
What a time of learning! Thank you so much, Nigel.
As always, You're World Class ... Thank you for all your insight and talents...
Great video Nigel, I always find it very helpful when you edit images of others!
Great tutorial. You have become my favorite utube channel. Trying to pick out one of your limited addition prints. Have it down to three.
Very interesting video, I tend to use C1 rather than lightroom but the techniques you demonstrated should transfer over. The mystery crop in the field was Barley by the way
Really loved this video !
I would love to see a more detailed video on the use of Lightroom. I found this one excellent.
Great video! I love the woodland autumn panorama!
Great job on editing some nice images you were sent . I’ve avoided Lightroom for years I find it supper complicated but I see it’s a great tool to have .
very glad of this video as through watching those great examples it's given me some confidence to revisit and edit those photos i'd later dismissed after thinking they were ok when i took them! thank you.
Very great video, in terms of respect for your followers, of creativity and how to see things. Also seeing myself what i can also learn about the different possibilities in Lr...
Great!
Excellent video Nigel - thank you. I'm inspired to go thru my own library and re-edit my own shots!
Thanks Nigel, Another great video. I'm learning such a lot from them.
Great video Nigel. It's just not fair that you make it look so easy. I have the Reverse Midas Touch when it comes to many aspects of photography. Cheerio, back to the salt mines for me.
Amazing video...very helpful to watch you make the edits. It gave me lots of ideas of what to do in post processing.
Thank you Nigel for showing how you would edit my photo. I never thought to blow out the sky further and will have to give it a go myself now! And I do follow James Popsys too, as he use to shoot with the lumix g9 which is what I use, so may be why it's more of his style!

Clever idea. Enjoyed that
Thank you!
I really enjoyed this video and seeing your process. Thank you!
Thank you for your hard work Nigel, it's very educational.
indeed!
THANK YOU so much. I have Learned so much from your videos . You are AWESOME to share your knowledge. THANK YOU.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your wisdom Nigel :)
You made my day!! Thank you Nigel!!! The pronounce of my name is right!!!
Great video and super images, learnt a lot, I'm not very good at editing, dont get much time to practise. Loved the deer shot and the horse at the end, I feel an animal adds something to a landscape.
I really like this kind of video!
A great insight into your editing thought process particularly presets that’s one for me to work on!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video Nigel, I really enjoyed it... thanks!
Fascinating!
Thank you! I like this format, please make it a regular occasional.
So helpful!! Thank you :)
Thank you Nigel!
Absolutely awesome video about editing, pretty educative.
very nice to see you edit some more exciting shots than in some of your previous tutorials :)
Thank you so much for editing my photo! Love watching your videos and learned a lot from your channel!
i always overedit my images... that's my biggest effort to get better... thanks for sharing your editing process, that's helping me a lot to take it easy on those sliders
More of these please😥
Great! Will share ;)

R www ally appreciate your methodology of LR editing.
Love this! My goal is to make my own presets.
I like your table.
More good advice Thanks!

When I crop, I am a ratio cropper.
Maybe Nigel will reply, but I have never seen him cropping by ratio, he usually prints the images with a white border
I do the same as you Andreas but now it's pointed out it's interesting to think about that. My assumption would be when printing the image to go for a 'standard' ratio as otherwise you'd have to either get a bespoke frame of have uneven borders but perhaps others know different.

Great video, Nigel! I forgive you for not using my submission after seeing the photos that made the cut, you’ve got some talented viewers 👍🏻
Sorry!
13:40 - you just turned cold morning mist into smoke from nearby power plant or wildifre ... imho :-)
This was so nice to watch. :D Will you be doing this some time again?
Love this!!!
