[@structuremedia1935]

Link isn't working for me - would you mind checking the link or sending another one?

[@thaticelandicguy]

@@structuremedia1935Something went wrong; i've just fixed it :)

[@buiahhh]

Do the presets work with Lightroom or only Lightroom CC?

[@TedYoo]

I’m interested in your LUT pack. I just bought a DJI pocket 3. Would they work well with the dlog m videos?

[@bjyoungblood]

This is great information. One thing that I think would help the video is that when you get to the end of editing a particular photo, slow down and show the before and after to make the difference as clear and observable as possible.

[@thaticelandicguy]

Ah that's a good point! Will keep that in mind for the next video :) Thank you!

[@bjyoungblood]

@@thaticelandicguy , I have to give you big KUDOS!! it's only been 10 days since I watched your video and started experimenting with your tips. It's made my results so much better. Thanks a ton!

[@HigonDourado]

I thought the same thing. Haha

[@godsgifttocockpit]

I was just about to write the same comment. Thanks for the great video and tips, but show the before and after photos to really make the point :)

[@gregscarcella519]

AGREED! My only compliant.

[@kwms3112]

It'd be great if you showed the BEFORE photo after finishing each photo.

[@thaticelandicguy]

Next time! It’s a great idea ☺️

[@alexgariup4000]

You are without a doubt the best Lightroom teacher on KZbin, at least for me. Extremely easy for beginner & hobbyist users to understand. You do an excellent job explaining professional tricks and processes in a manner that is not overwhelming. Not to mention fun to watch. Really have to say your videos & this channel have not only elevated my skills but my enjoyment of the hobby as well. Cheers from Chicago!

[@thaticelandicguy]

Woah thank you for this kind comment ❤️ I truly appreciate it!

[@westpalmdoc]

Duuuuuuuuude good LORD. watched this video and wrote it all down then went to work on some images. Been at this for 10+ yrs and gotta say THANKS absolutely the most powerful editing techniques i have come across. My images, both wildlife and landscapes, are coming alive as i work through them now. can’t thank you enough. brilliant man brilliant!!!

[@JCrowe86]

Great tips! Personally for things like Tip 7, when intersecting another mask I like to use intersect with object instead of subject. Then I can paint exactly what I want where subject will often grab some unwanted areas that you have to brush out like it did with your bird nest. Using object for me makes it more precise and saves a potential step of getting rid of areas after.

[@suryaprabakar4998]

I love how you get nerdily excited about the lil things (I am the same!) I think it is absolutely cute😍 this video was super helpful to a beginner like me. I am now gonna watch your next video. Thanks for the amazing content

[@I_would_intercept_me123]

as an airshow photographer who has PLENTY of lens dust that contrasts great on the sky but is sometimes blurry, #9 really helped! thanks!

[@AlissonBirck]

Finally a video that delivered something that I didn't already knew how to do and kept true to its title. Thanks dude, loved these tips!

[@thaticelandicguy]

Glad to hear it! 😌

[@juanvenegas278]

Wow, thanks for teaching us how to make our photos look a lot better ! One question, what kind of computer and model you're currently working with. I am beginning to struggle a little bit with the one I have, because of the latest version of Lightroom, calling for more computer's resources, so that, I am starting to think of changing it. Thanks, Juan

[@scottwallace1]

Great video. Thank you!!! 🙏 Like a couple other commenters, my only real question was why use a full image gradient instead of just adjusting the luminance range. But it is absolutely NOT a rhetorical question, I am sure you have your reasons. I’d just be interested in knowing them in more detail 😊

[@derekmandl]

Wow to be honest I never explored the masking too much beyond the simple AI filters. I didn’t even know what intersect was. Very informative!

[@thaticelandicguy]

Glad I could help!

[@domo131]

Well, that was great! I thought I was already pretty adept when it came to Lightroom, but the vast majority of the tips you have shown are new to me, thanks! Intersecting gradients has opened my eyes to so many more possibilities. I now have to go back over hundreds of images and try it out 🙃

[@ChuckHunter1]

For Tip #2 there shouldn't be any reason to do the linear gradient if you are going to select the whole image with no gradient and then intersect with the luminance mask. Just go straight to the luminance mask and adjust there, you end up with the same selection. Nice tips though, I always learn something watching other people's work flow. Thanks,

[@Image1Nation]

Was stopping by to give my Icelandic brother some love and saw this video at 134k views(at the time of commenting) and the biggest smile filled up my face. Bet your old high school mates are thinking “that Arnulfur is a teacher now”. Love from Canada brother.

[@timorxlt6463]

Damn, I´ve been editing in Lightroom Classic for over 5 years and I still learned sth new in every part of your video. Maybe my editing just sucks haha. Keep it up, your pics are 🔥

[@pasqualray1337]

3:36 Didn’t understand why you used a mask at the beginning but it totally makes sense now… great tip. Thank you! 😊

[@thaticelandicguy]

You’re welcome 😊

[@TheChannelling]

Why you draw a mask in the entire picture with the gradient and then intersect with luminosity range (to remove dark parts) instead of just simply selecting highlights with the luminosity range?

[@thaticelandicguy]

that's a great idea, never thought of it, just always done it like this. Would that make the transition (gradient) from the shadows to highlights as smooth? That's what I'm after. I don't want a sharp edge on the highlights but a gradient decline of the mask from the shadows. That's what really sells the effect imo.

[@TheChannelling]

@@thaticelandicguy if you use the same luminance settings (the feathering and full intensity sliders) just simply inverted it should mathematically be the same. If they are not, well I would need to go full nerd on this because that does not make any sense to my brain😂

[@drhappy5]

I love the passion you put on it it felt like I was having a conversation not watching a video. Cheers and I wish you many many other videos

[@haleydonow4410]

Thank you for this video, subscribing! On tip 8, where you used the brush to edit the shoe, you can alternatively use the object tool which may require less refinement.

[@CorradoCampodonico]

I'm so happy I stumbled upon your channel via a post on Reddit: the way you explain masks is just so easy! Quick question: does everything you say also apply for Lightroom Mobile?

[@thaticelandicguy]

What people are sharing my stuff on Reddit? 😂 that’s awesome, do you by any chance remember the post? And yea the same principles apply to lr mobile, or I edit my mobile photos the same way pretty much.

[@JezGates]

Hi, quite new to editing & loving your lr tutorials, I’m interested in your street photography preset but as I mainly photograph landscapes I’m wondering if the presets will work well with those?

[@MarttiNoFly]

Thank you! Took my editing to another level! Gonna mask it up!

[@thaticelandicguy]

Mask are life

[@grism13]

The luminance mask just blew my mind 🤯🤯

[@kayayasar6730]

Thank you for the tutorial. in the second tip, what is the advantage of intersecting linear field that covers the whole image with luminance mask instead of just using luminance mask?

[@richrox13]

I think you got it all in a single video!! nice one

[@diaryofnischa]

Such an informative video. Took a lot of notes :) Thank you!!!

[@JohanStrombeck]

I really love your channel, just got lightroom pro and you are really helping me

[@thaticelandicguy]

Happy to hear 🙏🏻

[@claudiut53]

you can also use the "duplicate and invert", related to tip 7. So create a mask for foreground, make it darker, right click on it, duplicate and invert and you have another one that is affecting the background, where you can modify and make it brighter.

[@thaticelandicguy]

Ah so cool! Thank for the tip!! 🙏🏻☺️

[@claudiut53]

​@@thaticelandicguy no, thanks for all your tips :))

[@thaticelandicguy]

You're the best!!

[@krimke881]

The pro tip, is learn and really hone in on the skills of balancing light. All pro photos seem crystal clear, while those who aren't, don't have that crystal clear crisp look. whatever the theme and subject. Color balance and light. It's not tools, or tricks on how-to's. It's what all are looking for, but it has to be learned, not just fixed with a tool or one click or one slider. I guess no pro's want to reveal that =P

Hi. I love watching your videos and I find them very helpful. I just recently purchased the Sony a6700 and a SD V90 card. I'm having issues playing back the 10 bit 4k footage that I recorded on my computer. It is very choppy when I try to play it back. How do you view your 10 bit 4k Sony footage on your computer? I was hoping to be able to record in the highest 10 bit 4k quality but currently I can't play it without it being choppy so I really hope maybe you can help me.

[@linminhtoo]

does it have to do with the frame rate that it was recorded with? another suspicion is your computer is lacking either the necessary video codecs to play it, or the file is too heavy on your hardware and your computer is struggling to render the frames fast enough.

[@Bowiehair]

Great info

[@LauraRachelCannon]

Hey, great video thanks!

[@The9PointStar]

it would be cool if u show the before and after of those edits before go to the next trick, anyway thanks for the tips

Masks are a game changer, ai auto select background and people and objects is total game changer. Maybe this video is too old but i notice it wasnt used for thr boot. Which being all yellow would maybe work well

Masks are really helpful to get the image to the next level, even for a beginner like me :) I wonder, how your phone grid looks like 🤔 - are all images here also masked? :D But I guess you edit mainly on desktop / LR classic :) Thanks for sharing my friend :)

Yea mostly on the desktop! But I also lean heavy on masks on my phone haha 😝
