Very impressive, Pablo. A really excellent and tight "how to" video that includes a combination of beginner advive all the way to some great insight into advanced and subtle technique as well.

Really great tips Pablo, I shall be doing that! Thanks

Buen video amigo

Video muy bien explicado. Saludos

Thanks for a video looking at the Macro capability of this lens.

Your teaching skills of Lightroom are amazing! Thank you

Great tutorial Thanks

Excellent demonstration 👍

How can i use lightroom free without trial

Thanks for the video. I have a Canon R5 with RF 100-500mm lense. I take pictures of wildflowers. Could you please tell me your typical settings on the R5? Also what extension tubes would you recommend. I am anxious to get a little closer for macro photography without breaking the bank. Thanks.

Great tip, thanks a lot ! I would like to see differences between with and without the extension tubes, just to know much closer you actually can get with them..

Thank you! Great video! 🦋

Thank you very much!

Awesome tip flipping the photo to get the reflection selected

Here is another example of how I use Adobe LR Classic to edit kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHrGlayYpNt-ors

the best tip for sky, ever !

Clever tip, thank you!

Thanks Pablo! I understand the intersect mask better now and would have never thought of inverting the reflection

The tip about flipping the photo to select the reflection is ingenious. Thank you for that!

Well done Pablo, I learned a couple valuable techniques there. Thank you.

Just traded my 5D Mark IV, EF 100-400 mm L IS II, EF 24-100mm L IS II and other older equipment for my own RF 100-500. Already have extension.tubers and looking forward to macro photos. Good luck on your channel

Great video! You make it very easy to understand and follow each step of the process.

I want to thank you for your advice. I watched your earlier version of this advice video ahead of my first visit ever to Carlsbad in March 2023. Here was my experience; First, having long ago sent my kid into the world I overlooked that the dates I chose were in the middle of Spring Break, so I was shocked at the number of people in the Visitor Center. But, with two 8:30 entry permits and two full days to explore, I did not have to be in a hurry in the Caverns. I tried a handful of flash photos, early on the first day, but felt VERY intrusive on everyone else’s experience, so changed to ambient-light-only shooting. Also flash produced flat images, so I left that behind on the second day. To facilitate ambient light shooting, I used a tripod, but mostly as a monopod (because o0f crowded trails), and used the railing or stone trail edging to brace my camera (Lumix G9 with 12-60mm lens). I shot with burst mode a lot, hoping that at least one of the images might not suffer from camera shake (works well, if you use good anti-camera shake technique). And, I shot some HDR sets, to gain dynamic range in post production. I used the shutter release 2 second timer and/or a remote release cable to minimize shake. Finally, I made use of Lightroom Classic’s new Enhance Noise Reduction feature to clean up the inevitable sensor noise. The end result is that I have a lot of sharp, low noise and pleasing images captured over two full days inside Carlsbad Caverns.

Great! Thanks.

Is this glitch in PureRAW 3 with version 3.8.0, build 30, 64 bit? With this - my impression of 'perfect' suffered a bit ;O) But to be fair I have rarely used it with that high ISO.

Really nice winter eagle. I would choose the same parameters for this image.

thank Sir!....

Bien hecho Pablo, resultados muy impresionantes. Feliz año nuevo 🎉

Many thanks Pablo! This was extremely useful…. I am thinking to buy Pure Raw 3, because I also see from the trial version a very slight improvement in the demosaicing of raw files (over Lightroom). This is quite subjective, I realise. Also, the lens corrections are much better. And the colours I also like a little bit more. My question, you are using Pure Raw 2. Is this because you prefer that version - or you just did not upgrade yet? My only real concern with Pure Raw is the limitation of sharpening choices, there are some choices, but I would prefer more control in this area. Thanks for your thoughts - and happy Christmas to you 🎄

Can you make another video comparing DxO Pure RAW 3 with Topaz Photo AI using this image? Thanks in advance.

I note from your PDF workflow chart that you use DxO pure Raw or Topaz Lab Photo AI depending on the focus of your wildlife photo. If I can't afford to buy both plugins, which plugin you prefer, i.e. DxO pure Raw or Topaz Lab Photo AI ?

Thank you, Pablo-- this is excellent. Very clear instruction, guided by your workflow diagram. Are you by chance a teacher? If not, you may have an additional profession in your future! Thanks again. Subscribed.

another thing to add: Lightroom doesn't process fujifilm RAW images that well for some reason, but if you run your photos through DxO it processes the images in a pleasing way. I almost always run my fuji photos through DxO when editing now and I love it

5:20 Instead of a new mask to select background, you could click on the subject mask and say “Duplicate and Invert” that will give a perfect background minus the subject.

That is a really useful video, thanks so much. I’ve learnt lots I didn’t know about preparing an image for printing. Great advice.

great video

Thank you for the tips😁

Great tutorial and at an easy pace. Your video was exceptionally helpful and I look forward to watching all your videos.

I enjoyed this, well presented & clear. Subscribed❤

Good work Pablo and engaging presentation, direct and concise.

Nice work. Thank you for sharing your Lightroom work flow with us.

Hi Pablo. Instead of content aware fill you may want to consider using the new generative fill. To get rid of the little edits try using the new remove tool. Nice image!

The only time I have been to the caverns was way back in 1968 when I was twelve. I am going to Yellowstone next May, then travel to the caverns for a 3 day stay. I really gained a lot of insight from this video, and your explanations were great. I have a Canon 5D M4, and will bring my 24-70 L, plus my 70-200 L with my Canon flash. I really want to get a lot of great shots so I will be carrying my tripod with. Thank You for the excellent video and pictures.👍

Щикарно

Excellent overview - thanks!

Very nice edit and explanation. I look forward to future videos from you.

Great tip, I've been subscribing to lightroom but have been holding off on getting photoshop, things like this seem worth it.

I am wondering how would the picture look if you straighten the horizon?

Nice overall, but the big problem is that the filled-in area of the trees on the right side are completely different from their reflection.

Pablo, great presentation on this technique. I have been teaching this technique for several years after being show how to do it by Sean. You covered all the basics very well and gave a good demo with your explanation. I notice you had a little problem with the content ware fill on the right side of your image. That was an excellent try by expanding out the selected area. Not many people would have thought of that. You also might want to select a single area at a time (you can use the lasso too) and run it through the generative fill tool. As long as the area for fill is not longer than 1024 pixels, it should do pretty well for you. Keep up the good work. I enjoyed watching the presentation even though I was already familiar with the process.
