[@musahoosain8093]

Hi! thanks for this! only thing is (Shift+Double Click) is for #7 ^_^

[@hanyasvagytediszno]

Regarding camera calibration: none of the profiles in lightroom come close to what you can achieve with a color calibrating tool - you have to create the camera/lense combination specific profile using a colour table, and then you will be shocked to see the difference. I work with Nikon, and without colour calibration the color of the images look terrible, no matter what profile you use, nothing can compete with the real profile that you create. I use a colorchecker passport.

[@evansmith4089]

This is fucking incredible. This just changed my entire workflow after nearly a decade of Lightroom usage. You deserve a metal of some kind.

[@jamiewindsor]

Thank you. I'll take Caesium please. That's always been my favourite metal.

[@curiousobserver5332]

I completely agree! #2 is a game changer!

[@scamp9360]

lol!! lol!.. ROCKED MY WORLD too!

[@RohannvanRensburg]

@@jamiewindsor Aha so English.

[@rossmennie4903]

How about the kind of metal a medal is made of?!

[@mxrkchristian]

THE FADER ALONE MAKES THIS VIDEO ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT. My tip is to make another video solely advertising fading presets because many people don't know there's a free option.

[@onehtw1974]

One of the most useful LR tuts available! Most videos simply talk about some basics and how cool that is. But your video gets down the most important things that will affect a long workflow! Kudus mate

[@darkt00th2]

I've watched SO MANY Lightroom videos, yet most of your tips I had never seen covered before. Thanks!!!

[@tilerman]

Ive also watched many lightroom videos. There was some genius tips in this video but the one for me was the 'Increase slider size' Really helpful.

[@lylestavast7652]

if you click in the data field by the sliders, you can use up/down arrow to adjust them too... in single unit increments - if you add shift, it goes by 10's...

[@johnteague8475]

As others have said, this is one of the few tips-and-tricks tutorials where most of the info is actually new and useful.

[@nickcarophotography]

You Sir, are a legend. As a canon shooter the camera calibration setting tip alone has made my year, regardless of all the other nuggets of gold in there as well. Nice one fella. Instant subscriber.

[@Sjmm21]

Dude! You literally blew my mind! I’m sitting here gobsmacked, watching the entire video with my jaw dropped! I can’t tell you how helpful this video was!! The most amazing tips and hidden features I’ve seen to date! Thank you so much!

[@dmv483]

One of the best Lightroom quick tip tutorials I have watched on KZbin. Great work, thanks for sharing.

[@RodrigoSCL]

Hi, many excellent tips, thanks! Since I found you some weeks ago, my first cup of coffee very early in the morning is well spent watching your videos. Worth noting that the CAPS LOCK tip works for picking and rejecting photos too (P, U, X keys).

[@brandonjones4378]

I've been using lightroom for about 10 years, 7 of which have been in a professional setting editing for a few photo companies. I actually did not know almost half of these. Excellent content, thank you for sharing. I also downloaded your medium format presets which are spot on. Keep up the great work!

[@kbats8332]

Probably the most valuable 12 minutes of Lightroom tutorials I've seen. Awesome!

[@kbats8332]

And who the hell are the 67 idiots who gave this a thumbs down :-)

[@desolatemirror3006]

You can hold ctrl while adjusting sliders for the fine tune, great with making them wider too.

[@williamfitch1408]

Shift

[@bratvlad]

Wow Match Total Exposures is the best one, I did not know. Thanks!.

[@clicklifewithLiz]

bratvlad Yes! Match Total exposure was a well kept secret! That tip made my day!

[@CameraGirl011]

Same here! Love this tip!!!

[@stevem.6557]

That one is amazing, and I've been using LR since v2 and did not know that !!!

[@LeMikel]

Was about to comment the same thing

[@quimerasilvestreqands258]

loved this one too

[@jamieway2866]

Mindblowing tips Jamie. I'm a commercial director that shoots stills for clients from time to time. I'm a photoshop man myself but you made me jump into Lightroom with more confidence. By the way, I bought some of your presets they are game-changers these presets save me so much time. These presets are a great way of articulating a potential look for a client in quick order. keep on making tutorials, please and thanks. I'm a fan of your photos also

[@benjibumble]

Wow! Not the typical "hints" you see all over blogs and internet. Very helpful. Thanks!

[@Crewchief227]

I just have to say wow man! As a full-time professional I thought I knew Lr pretty well, but tips like the caps lock rating are genius. I never knew that existed. I always had one finger on the arrow button and the other on the numbers. Thanks for the great video

[@SteakANDBurger]

This was extraordinarily helpful - especially considering I've used lightroom for almost 5 years now!

[@vivek23megan]

For 9th tip, you can adjust the slider finely by having your cursor over the number on the right of the slider, click on it and moving your mouse to the left or right. All the tips you have were very helpful!

[@joehowe1263]

The first video that actually had useful information beyond the usual 'how to use a brush'. I hope you have more tips to share

[@tudorzZzZzZz]

some of these tips are so basic but they make such a huge difference in the editing process! Great video!

[@OL9245]

WOW! Out of 10, 9 were new to me and -more impressively- 7 demonstrated functionalities that I do need in a Daly basis. Thank you!!!

[@jej3films]

Even though this is from 2017, you have no idea how much this helped me! I do mostly video work, but with the photography jobs that I do, this is definitely a huge help! Cheers!

[@DavidDickeyJr]

Best Lightroom tutorial I've ever seen. Learned a lot here, and I've been using LR for 6 years.

[@henrykins]

As a user of only the main basic lightroom features for several years, these are awesome tips that I never even would have thought to look for.

[@jkudz]

Great tutorial! So many of the Lightroom videos out there rehash the same common "tips" but these are genuinely useful. I was aware of some of them but the others were completely me to me and will REALLY help my workflow. Thanks!

[@JaronHorrocks]

MATCH TOTAL EXPOSURE. Game changer. Thank you. Why did I not know that... after Lightroom for 10 years! This could have saved soooo much time.

[@TomaszKulbowski]

This is now one of my all time favorite videos on KZbin 👍🏻 Thank you!

[@TheNorthPace]

I'm going to lend my voice to the choir here. I wasn't convinced how relevant these tips would be but ended up being pleasantly surprised by how useful it is. Thank you so much!

[@BarwickGreen]

I watch so many Lightroom Tips videos and often learn nothing but this video includes several I didn't know, clearly presented.

[@miggitymikeb]

Easily one of the best Lightroom videos I’ve ever watched thank you for this.

[@TokranInami]

Tons of Lightroom tip videos out there, but this was the first one i found really helpful. Thanks a lot!

[@cronufc]

Stumbled on your channel by chance. By far away the best advice and tips I have come across. Learning alot from you, so very grateful. Please keep going! 👍

[@jamiewindsor]

Thank you. The channel seems to be growing an audience which is good. The more views I get, the more revenue I make and therefore, the more time I can justify putting into making and uploading videos. At the moment, the only time I can make videos is if I take time off other work (as my weekends are spent looking after my two young kids) so the aim is to make a lot more content in the future. I have a list of literally hundreds of videos I want to make. Watch this space…

[@cronufc]

Thanks for your reply! I have had a DSLR for nearly 2 years now and am always trying to improve. From the few videos I've seen so far your channel is definitely one my favourites. I also have a young child so can relate to the difficulties of finding time to do things outside of the day job but I'm sure if you carry on as you are your audience will continue to grow. Good luck and thanks again! P.S. I should also mention you have a great portfolio :)

[@mattdavis1470]

Wow that was a really helpful video. I like your teaching style,easy to keep pace and never boring. Looking forward to new videos!

[@888marin888]

Usually not a big fan of those top 10 things, but glad i watched this one! Cool Techniques!

[@AaronFleming]

This was probably the single most helpful lightroom video on KZbin! Thank you!

[@ruthconnolly03]

This is incredible - a whole new world! The fader presets especially! Thank you!

[@TomWhild]

Thank you for these tips Jamie. I hadn't heard of the match total exposures setting before. That will be a game changer for me!

[@mrhzml]

Omg I can't believe I missed all of these stuff. Makes editing whole lot more efficient. Thank you!

[@dharuacharya]

I’ve been using Lightroom for almost 20 years and thought I knew almost everything there was about LR. Your tips just blew me away. Seems I have so much more to learn. Thank you, my friend. Amazing video.

[@gevillgar]

My favorites were the camera calibration profile one and the photo ranking with the Caps Lock on. Thanks!

[@michelleettelson8217]

Outstanding tips. A couple I knew but the ones I didn't, I will be using for sure. Thank you. You have won me over, I will follow you since I like your other videos as well. Cheers.

[@jamiewindsor]

Thank you. Glad you like my videos.

[@mattbennett6256]

Just finished editing photos from a graduation party. Wish I had know about the synced settings. Great video! Can’t wait to try some of these!

[@AndyGoodstuff]

I love the way you explain and demonstrate things. Thank you for such a helpful video!

[@RohannvanRensburg]

Man, I add your videos to my "photography playlist" so quickly. Completely changed how quickly I edit, thank you.

[@clicklifewithLiz]

Match total exposure.... who knew?! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@quatie]

That tone curve target adjustment tool is amazing

[@ralphpayne6259]

Some really useful pointers that are missed by most. Brilliant

[@markholroyd6073]

Thanks. I’ve been using Lightroom for over ten years and you still showed me a couple of new things.

[@marcherrmann9635]

Leaving out the Fader plugin, I knew all except the selective auto settings which I will usually never need (but thanks anyway!), and I'm grateful that you've reminded me of the menu item for the automatic exposure matching because I somehow forgot it... Thanks again!

[@davidgilmore2565]

Good Morning Jamie. Many thanks for these. Great tips with excellent presentation and delivery. No "niff naff" just the facts. Thanks for sharing.

[@RupeshPrabhuAG]

I just created a new playlist and it will only have this one video because it showcases all the best of the Lightroom which is a total game changer. Thanks a lot.

[@FelipeMartins14]

WOW, this "MATCH TOTAL EXPOSURES" is incredible! THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelgorczyca]

This video was incredibly helpful. So many things I didn’t know and expanded on things I already knew. Thank you!

[@JasonTeale]

Some really great tips here. The fader plugin was something that I have been looking for recently. Thank you so much for saring these.

[@EyeoftheAbyss]

Possibly the best Lr tutorial I've watched!

[@abfocus]

Great voice, great instructional - flows easy and super informative. To the point. Thank you!

[@ash_17406]

My favourite photography video so far! Thanks heaps.

[@karenmorico9177]

glad i watched this. these tips are gold. never encountered these tips from other videos. thank you so much.

[@kennedypollard467]

The fader is great! also really liked the auto exposure match function!!

[@huluhulu2222]

WOW... so many helpful tips in such a short video. Learned more from this than dozens of other videos. haha

[@tjc9514]

You are such a boss! I've never seen these tips! That first one is actually freaking amazing

[@joshuagutierrez8407]

And I thought I knew light room inside and out. Great tutorial!! I found the match exposure to be most intriguing. Please continue on with additional gems you find in LR.

[@snowkrew]

Seems like I’ve spent years watching Lightroom and editing tutorials....you definitely taught me a few new tricks I’ll be adding to my workflow. Much appreciated!

[@DessieTots]

Really genuinely great video of useful tips and no bloody grandstanding or ego trip. Excellent.

[@sapphirebeaumont4819]

These are such simple yet amazingly helpful tips, thank you!

[@st1nk1n]

This video been in my watch later play list for ages... Why didn't I watch it sooner! But just in time for my next photography adventure ☺️ thank you

[@typorickfoto]

BIG BRAVO, Jamie! Even for me as mostly German speaking Guy, you’ve done a Great Job!

[@AnneT317]

Like many others said, I've been watching many LR videos, but they all give the same tips. This one is a gem. Thank you!

[@fahadbashraheel1187]

Thank you so much 😊 Fantastic video. In regards to tip no. 9 there is an easier way to fine tune the slider Just click on the slider’s and then use the +/- buttons on the keyboard and it will be adjusted. Thanks again.

[@thealexestrada]

Jamie, great video! I've been using LR for years and I didn't know the majority of your tips. Thanks for sharing. This is going to help me with all my future edits.

[@EricKersten]

Excelent tips! You sir just won a new subscriber! The exposure matching thing is amazing. I had no idea and i've been using Lightroom for a couple of years.

[@waroidot]

This is what I've been looking for, these tips will make life so much easier! Thank you, subscribed.

[@BubblesPothowari]

A Great Lesson. Fantastic Speed. Kept me on my toes. Thank you....

[@CandyLaPop]

Wow! This was the most useful video on editing I've seen in a while! Thank you so much!

[@xavierjoulin8705]

I knew all of them except the fader and the solo mode. Great ones these! Cheers mate!

[@turbo_bikini]

Hands-down BEST TUTORIAL EVER. Great job!

[@isaacdennis4351]

These videos are typically tedious because they are saying things any beginner knows. This video awsome 😍

[@kirstenbax5641]

One of my top ten helpful Lightroom videos

[@michaelaustin9436]

Great video! The caps lock for photo rating just blew my mind.

[@CptSnakeshit]

The calibration is also great for fuji as you can get the film simulations from that. There's also a plugin to apply it automatically for multiple photos called X-LR

[@veramats]

Fantastic tips!!! I'm a little surprised that I knew about a few of them, but most of them were totally new to me. Brilliant!

[@tiimm0002]

Bro been using lightroom for quite some time but these tips just made my life so much easier haha feel so dumb that I wasn’t aware of some of them...

[@franciscoortega2829]

Loved these tips. Namely the fader plugin, the exposure matching and the targeted adjustment tool. I will be using these more often now.

[@gusti46]

Thank you jamie, your tips make my work easier and better

[@fredabery3816]

Fantastic little video! Thanks for sharing everything, including these and the links and presets!

[@VitchoVitcha]

Thank you very much for this wonderful video... most of the hints I did not know them before.. straight to the point... well presented video. Well done!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@GWHAWK87]

Expected this to be click bait - but super helpful! Lightroom is kind of like excel for accountants, knowing all the features and shortcuts speed you up infinitely.

[@mil0931]

The first library feature is a badass game changer! Thanks bro

[@kevinnewsome5767]

Wow!!! Brilliant!! I wish I had seen this when you first published it!! Thank you!

[@mikerivera5963]

You are the best youtuber! It’s not an opinion it’s a fact! Love how you zoomed in on your presentation makes it easy to follow. Very helpful tips!

[@jamiewindsor]

Thank you. Glad you found it helpful.

[@EliInfante]

Great video man! I learned a lot of new things.

[@dezimagesphotography1879]

Loving your videos - what a great teacher you are! Straight talking, no jargon, informative and very easy to listen to and learn - THANK YOU!!! :-)

[@dreamscuba2112]

Great tips...All very informative...I liked the sharing collections and targeted adjustment the most...but all great.

[@KirstenMooreCreative]

You just blew my mind with a few of these. Thank you!

[@tobiasmoeckel]

Just when I thought I knew all I need to know about LR! Awesome! Match total exposure is so useful.

[@williamfitch1408]

Outstanding. You've just given me part of my life back.

[@johnmarsland3442]

Brilliant. really useful video - i do a lot of food shoots and regularly have 600+ images to get through - the caps lock rating tip saved me so much time.

[@nelsonteixeiraphotography]

Just for the Match Total Exposures tip it would already be worth seeing this video! Can't believe that after sooo many years using LR (and watching tip videos) I still didn't know that one... Could have saved me hours of work! I've just tried it out and it's amazing! Thank you so much!

[@jamiewindsor]

Glad it helped. It's kind of great but also frustrating when you find out how to do something after years of doing it a longer way around. We've all been there!

[@chopshoppictures]

Fantastic tips. I'll be watching this before my next several edit sessions until I remember all of them.

[@karenbford]

Thanks! One of the best LR tutorial videos I have seen! I learned a LOT and took a lot of notes!
