Hi Kasia. I've read all the comments here and would like to add my own. The most valuable part of your teaching method for me is your constant dialog of what you are thinking. I think some people would prefer to just know "what to do". Therefore they complain that the video is too long. But I would ask that you not shorten your videos at all. To do so would eliminate all this valuable information (your thoughts). There is no such thing as "what do do" because it all depends on what the artist is thinking. This is what makes your video's special Kasia.
In your video you approach the image first from an artistic point of view, explaining your reasons for what would improve the image. Then, you explain clearly how to accomplish your artistic vision using the tools in Capture One. I appreciate your method of instruction.
@@KasiaZmokla What do you think about the new Sigma 65 mm f2, do you think it's a good lens for forest photography? I too started uploading images to Adobe Stock Photo this week, but gosh, it's a shame to look through my archives. Still I find it a nice process to get an overview of what I've achieved so far: stock.adobe.com/no/contributor/210096309/yvind
You have many great images out there in the Adobe Stock portfolio! Regarding the Sigma lens - I have no idea, I would have to test to see what it can produce. I'm not a tech person at all, my approach to that whole "gear subject" is 200% intuitive. So sorry, but if I don't hold it and use it, I won't say if I like it or not :)
@@KasiaZmokla Thank you! It's a slow process, and I've to debunk 99% of my images, before Adobe debunk another 10%, and they seem to only review your images twice a week.
The workflow suggested by you is so useful. I have just returned from a trip to the Lower Himalayas, India, and have similar photos as in your video, but with a wide angle lens. Will try a similar workflow. Thank you for your efforts! :)
@@KasiaZmokla Visited Vishisht, a little beyond Manali, Himachal Pradesh, to attend a wedding. After the festivities were over, got stuck in a snow storm for 3 days. Both events had their own unique experiences!! Since then back home in hot and humid Mumbai!!
@@anishdesai995 Sounds fantastic - from a snow storm to heat! I wish the whole covid disaster will end soon and people will be again able to travel freely. I'm curious to see your images!
My most valuable takeaway from this video was when you used luminosity masking to process the birch trees. I do sports photography and frequently my subjects are against a dark background so this might be a technique that if find useful. Thanks.
Another great video from you. Very deep and complete. Thank you so much, Kasia. You touch arguments that are very interesting for me. Just a suggestion, if you please: 40 minutes sometimes are too long for me and I need to break the vision in two or tree times since a busy lifestyle. What if you make shorter ones without sacrificing the completeness (that is your trademark)?
Hi, Kasia. One question. When you want to increase the luminosity on yellows, you go to the color editor and do it since that place. Why don´t you do it with the color mask directly? Minute 30 of the video, more or less...
Hi Eduardo, you can do that both ways - either with or without the mask previously created. The workflow here is very intuitive, I'm not following any formula. Trying out different things and either going further or moving back and searching for alternatives.
Hi Eduardo - yes, I have my tablet plugged all the time, but when I'm not working with a brush, I prefer to use the mouse. My tablet doesn't allow me to scroll - so I cannot access tabs and tools. So I do everything with the mouse and when I need to precisely paint something - I just grab the pen and use the tablet.

Thank you Daren, much appreciated :)
Cannot express how much these videos are appreciated,
Thank you Matthew! 🙏🏻
Once again, very, very useful. I must remember to use colour masking more often! Thank you.
Thank you too David!
Again a very good and interesting video. I have learned a lot.
Thank you Kasia !!!
Have a nice day and stay healthy.
Thank you too Rolf!
Another very good video! Thank you very much!

Thanks for that Liam! Always happy to help :)
sempre molto interessante ! Grazie))
Prego :)
Really beautiful image!
Thank you Øyvind, I wasn’t expecting anything special on that day, but a bit of sun made the whole difference.

That’s awesome Anish! Where did you go? I guess they have plenty of snow at this time of the year, or just some frost? I miss the Himalayas 🤍

@@KasiaZmokla I have sent you my Instagram handle on your Insta account!
@@anishdesai995 Just checked the IG messages, couldn't find yours. Can you post it here?
Again I found a new way to create more depth in photographs.
Fantastic!

Nice one
Thanks!
Another question. Can you switch in a photo between the mouse and the tablet? Is it convenient? When?
Hi Eduardo - yes, I have my tablet plugged all the time, but when I'm not working with a brush, I prefer to use the mouse. My tablet doesn't allow me to scroll - so I cannot access tabs and tools. So I do everything with the mouse and when I need to precisely paint something - I just grab the pen and use the tablet.
This was great. I'm always tempted to use the auto-levels tool but it really doesn't work for every image.
Thanks Bob!
