    This is not the right way, this is also not the wrong way, this is my personal way, your way might be different. Liked the video right there, no matter what comes next.

    'You are the artist.'
    I'm not sure why that hit so hard! Thank you for reinforcing the fact that what we do is ART, and each artist 'paints' differently.
    It's hard to pioneer in this day and age, especially with the seeds planted by most nowadays due to social media and ease of access.
    Loved that comment.

    I love that you make a point of saying “there is no right way, there is no wrong way.” Because at the end of the day, editing photos is an artistic outlet that every individual handles slightly differently.

    I learned more about working in lightroom by watching this video carefully than I have in watching many hours of videos by others. You not only show the tool, but explain when and why to use it. Excellent video.

    I thought I knew Lightroom okay, but your tutorials make me 10 times as smart. I LOVE all the little extra details with the keyboard shortcuts and so on. I'll be watching this again and again along with so many other of yours. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

  • @jpdj2715
    @jpdj2715 4 роки тому

    Dear Mr. Unmesh, sir, photography is an art. I agree to a point, in that each form of art has its technical details that we need to master before we can be a master in that art. As a painter it helps to understand different brushes, pigments or dyes and binders that turn pigments into paint, or ink or pastels or watercolors.
    The approach to exposure and what relates to that seems like there is a randomness associated. The order does not matter, you imply.
    As I worked more than 45 years with manual camera settings, I have now opened up to "expose for the highlights". And Lightroom opens my images as if they are underexposed. This is expected, by the way, I'm not complaining. The camera has given me several f-stops with minimal numbers of associated pixels (almost no height in the histogram). And I have lost no highlight details. Now I can choose what range of highlights I still want to have details and what not. This is done with the "white point" that I can lower.
    And here we get to the point of "sequence" as an efficiency subject. Adjustments to anything related to exposure are made by Lightroom relative to black point and white point. Capture One (C1 - v 20) does not do it like that and that is totally annoying to me.
    In LR, make exposure and color adjustments and next change the white point and you have to start all over again. In C1, changing black and white points is not fixed can drives me nuts.
    Morale: in LR adjust white and black points first. Now you have defined to Lightroom what, in your raw image, should be black [0,0,0] and white [255,255,255] and note that anything that used to be whiter than your new white point will be equally white from here on (vice versa for black). C1 keeps shifting that, when you change exposure details. (in my text, "exposure" relates to the Basic, Tone Curve, HSL/Color, Color Grading, Detail, Effects and Calibration panels - these all relate to each other.)
    If your LR histogram indicates you can rise the black point and/or lower the white point, start there, or you may be running in infinite loops.
    In general, there is no single right way, true. Except exceptions - but these do not refute the general rule.

    You seem like a very nice person. For years I was told to adjust the Whites and Blacks as you explained. I finally realized that wasn't the way to do it for ME (NOT others). With the exception of white and black clipping, you do a very nice job.

  • @russellschundler6559
    @russellschundler6559 6 років тому

    Nice, helpful video. I very much agree with you that the first step is to think through what you want as your end result ... then use the tools to move to that end. It is an artistic expression. At one time, I was jealous of the freedom a artist/painter had. No more. We have such wonderful and powerful tools!

    Pro tip. Right click on any of the tabs (General, Split Toning, etc), and select "solo mode" This will make only one tab stay open at a time, when you click on it. That way you dont get lost in scrolling up and down trying to find what you want.
