15 LIGHTROOM TIPS and TRICKS for faster editing

[@SH1014]

This is by far the most useful "X Lightroom Tips you need to know" videos I've watched so far

[@ojcr]

Jesus Christ, Jamie, mate, I've been using LR for years, watched all LR tricks and tips on youtube, this video is the only one that showed me new stuff. Like, the local adjustment amount slider, my eyes just got wider and wider watching this, what is this magic, how long has it been there, is this what the NSA doesn't want us to know

[@dhyogofotografia]

I am here.. did you call me Oliver?

[@ojcr]

@@dhyogofotografia yeah you prick, tell me why my gf moans your name during sex 😠😠😠

[@the11theleven]

same, tip number 3 has blown my mind!

[@circleofattention6021]

Olivier J. C. Rurka Same here🙏

[@JeremyLawrence-imajez]

Local adjust slider is a relatively new feature.

[@ArmanKhaghani]

The elegant transitions and novel graphical presentation for each new video are some of my favorite aspects of this channel. The attention to detail and commitment to style is as refreshing and aesthetically satisfying as these videos are informative.

[@SimonePontiggia]

Your videos surprise me every time, the amount of value is huge! What you are telling the world is the difference between doing a full week course of something and learning your tools like you have been using it everyday. Explaining the tool your are removing it from the equation between you and your craft. I damn like the vibes!

[@mikepawlikguitar]

Jamie I value your opinion a lot because you challenge the status quo and help people understand that there is a world of knowledge to be learned out there. You're like the Joe Pass of the photography world, real deep knowledge like the jazz greats, whereas Instagram and popular western photography and culture is highly palatable like Nickelback or Bruno Mars. So thanks for your hard work in bringing these stories and knowledge to us.

[@lukeckdavis]

This has got to be the definitive 'Lightroom tips and tricks' video. Lovely work man!

[@MattFitzgerald]

It's hard to find LR tutorials nowadays that have new and useful tips! What a thoughtful video :)

[@celocelocelocelo]

Another awesome tutorial in very rapid and delightful way. Zero bs. And just in time. Thank you very much. I feel lucky every time i watch a video from you

[@wesleysularz3069]

Always happy to see a new video from you Jamie. Cheers!

[@chrispark11]

This is FANTASTIC! I'll have to save and re-watch 10 times

[@laytonbfc]

Saw the video title and thought to myself smugly; "Haa! I'm pretty sure I know everything there is to know about lightroom. This video will be pointless 🙄". Loved it, cheers!

[@rorybroesder]

By far the best tips and tricks video I've seen. I've been using LR for years and didn't know a heap of these!

[@greenbrightly]

Massively useful, I feel like I’ve been driving a car for years but there’s another gear I didn’t know about!

[@JasonShinks]

Number 14 is a belter Jamie!

[@petpaltea]

Every time you post this kind of videos, I know I am going to learn something new. This time is no different.

[@lukeisafinename]

Holy moly, what a helpful video! Especially the bit at 3:45 where you can show all the shortcuts. Thank you for putting this together!

[@effieskitsa]

Thank you SO MUCH! I had NO idea for some of them. Regarding the use of the presets I was talking with a fellow photographer the other day and she was telling me that she never uses presets because everything seems to be the same in every picture with everyone who uses them. I told her that when you use them you don't just apply but you adjust them. You have to know how you want a picture of yours to look like and how is your style in order to adjust accordingly. In my opinion, presets save time and help you to create your own personal style. I have changed a lot presets until I concluded that Jamie's presets are what I was looking for . Thank you Jamie.

[@jamiewindsor]

Effie Skitsa Thanks. A preset is a starting point. It’s like a film stock in my mind. You add a ‘look’ and then tweak it until it’s how you envisioned it. I don’t buy the notion that they inhibit your creativity or individuality. Stylistic fashions in photography will be there with or without presets.

[@Ron_Boy]

This is terrific. I normally skip the LR Tips & Tricks because I already know them. Not this time. Hadn't seen any of these, and they're all pretty slick. Thanks for posting them.

[@taikang]

As usual, Mr. Windsor, you are taking the crown home! I work since years with Lightroom and know that app pretty damn well. But nevertheless you managed to surprise me with a few jewels. The depth of your content separates you from Tubers like McKinnon. Keep up your amazing work!

[@edgarasphotography]

Thank you for the tips, Jamie. I'm a huge fan of your channel. I absolutely love your content. I just want you to see this comment and know that your tips and ideas guided me to understand how I want my photos to feel. You always provide great arguments and it made me realize that a great picture is not supposed to always be technically perfect, but rather feel perfect. Your approach to the viewers is so calm and distinct from other KZbinrs too. Keep it up! (: I also realized that I was missing so much in Lightroom after watching this video.. This will surely speed up my post-processing (:

[@mleachphoto]

Omg, I have used Lightroom for YEARS, and I did not know about number 6. LIFE SAVER!!!

[@thesilversurfer100]

This was super helpful Jamie. Thanks so much. Keep up the great work. Stay safe

[@johanmilet]

Dear Jamie, Once again, great tips! Thank you for sharing that... Also wanted to say that I love your channel, keep up the good work! Can't wait to watch your next video! Cheers Johan

[@kcmichaelm]

Thank you so much for this. I am quite a novice but trying to get better. The shortcut to see the shortcut menu is new to me, that’s amazing!

[@ClaudioDesideriFilms]

Jamie Windsor = Gold 🤗

[@shanemcgrath6035]

Thanks for this video Jamie it's definitely worth it's weight in gold 👍🏻

[@maax]

I would consider my self a lightroom pro, been using it for years but I only knew like three of these. My goodness, by far the best lightroom tips video on youtube. I feel like I need to rewatch this 8 times. My brain kept on going whaaaaaat thats possible?!?!

[@kalloh98]

Lightroom tricks that are helpful and aren't obvious. I expected nothing less from Windsor

[@LuboBachev]

I've been on mac for the past 2 months and on windows it always remembered the last folder I was on, but the second tip just made my day! 40 seconds in and you saved me so much time... Thank you! I am extremely grateful!

[@jamiewindsor]

Glad to be of help.

[@cronufc]

Pure gold! Thanks a lot for sharing these.

[@ilijajakovljevic7449]

6:32 "And I often do that sometimes too" Gj Jamie, btw didn't know 2/3 of these

[@joostgerritsen7104]

Wow, lots of info in a short time. I had to write some things down. Great tips. I happen to discover a lot of keyboard shortcuts when my cat walks over the keyboard....Most of the time, not the ones I need at that moment though...Thanks for the inspirational videos Jamie.

[@jamiewindsor]

😂Same when my 4-year-old decides to have a go.

[@beyondyourbackyardadventur3089]

I don't use LR, but I will watch any video you make! Love all your content and thank you for all of your photography tips, it is how I first found you!

[@Cordy712]

Excellent tips, very helpful and some I didn't know!

[@DonGutierrez]

I see Jamie upload, I tune in. Always love the tips and tricks you teach Jamie, you're one of the best!

[@virgilplays]

ok wow this was way more helpful than I thought it was gonna be. You learn something new every day! And in today's case, tons of things lol

[@justinparker2918]

🤯 . Did not expect any of these. Thankyou.

[@martinlawrence8427]

Thanks Jamie, very useful, and phew, I was getting withdrawal symptoms, kept checking to see if you had uploaded a new video and I’d missed it!

[@jamiewindsor]

Thanks. Glad it's helpful. It's only been 2 weeks since my last video.

[@martinlawrence8427]

Feels longer...love your posts, always something a bit different!

[@jjmaia]

Forget about the tips, the Sonic editing is sick!

[@astraeusone]

Nice vid, Jamie! Useful and concise. Only 800ish images for 2020?

[@itspuneet10]

Love your style. Thanks for sharing.

[@gilleswinckler7023]

Great ! I didn’t know any of them even though I’ve been using Lightroom for years

[@Cid_Coletti]

Awesome! I absolutely love shortcut keystrokes. I've been obsessed with them in excel and word for years and now equally so in LR + PS.

[@matlynwood6225]

Jamie, I don't mind presets I do have a few but the only thing I wish from prests was that they did not move the sliders. If they worked in that way it would be great as then you can use them as a true starting point kind of like when you say edit in Luminar 4 the picture comes back as a tiff and if you have done any global edits before editing in Luminar once you save the file and it comes back into Lightroom it is now a tiff file and you can double dip on your global edits again. I hope you understand what I mean this way once you apply the preset you can start your edit from there.

[@chrisprideaux8237]

Holy C! Thanks so much, this has saved a huge amount of work, freeing up more time to be out taking photos 🙂 WIN WIN!

[@jenohogan9254]

Shortcuts for life. I didn't know about most of these. Thanks!!

[@karlthefirst8690]

Holy cow, man, I thought LR was one piece of software I was pretty well familiar with at this point and I maybe knew about 10% of these. This is one of those save-for-posterity videos, thanks Jamie...

[@andreagonar]

So if you're using local adjustments how does that work for presets? I love your work Jamie! Keep it up, you're the best!

[@jamiewindsor]

Andrea González Aragón Well, local adjustments can be added as part of a preset, but you can do things like isolate luminance levels and certain hues and apply specific settings only to those sections.

[@MarkPowerPhoto]

Wow! These are brilliant, Jamie! Didn't know any of them. God, I've been so lazy in advancing with LR. Thanks!

[@twoscoops2]

Wow at some of those, had no idea! Thanks so much

[@neil101]

Some amazingly useful tips. Thx.

[@ChopperCindy]

Excellent....all I have to do now is remember them! Thank you.

[@benjaminstutzman7388]

COMMAND FORWARD SLASH. THANK YOU. LIKED. SUBSCRIBED.

Brovs! Always cool videos. Very helpful! Thanks!

[@spiffokeen]

My mind is blown. Great video!

[@JS-wz3km]

You definitely earned the like on this one. Thanks for the help.

[@chriss9357]

thanks for great tips .. may i ask with " copy history step settings to before" how we can disable now and go back to original function of backslash ?

[@jamiewindsor]

Mehdi Just go back to the import history state and set that to ‘before’.

[@priyadarshiroy2455]

You're seriously the best

[@Skux720]

Omg so that's what the 'Previous' button does 😅 I've been copying develop settings this whole time!

[@HybridCult]

Same, it's always been right there

[@lacayoj]

LMAO, I thought the same thing!

[@keloduma]

Same here😂

[@cornelius_b]

your „trick videos“ r the best!

[@heredownunder]

No.12! That Auto Sync button, wow!

[@hachewie]

Thank you. Absolutely awesome tips.

[@tysonslade1852]

Great work! This was super helpful!

[@Blackfilmguild]

This is great! thanks for sharing. I regularly forget my shortcuts... This was a helpful reminder.

[@nelsonclub7722]

Absolute gold.

[@j_9328]

legend probs most helpful straightforward vid ive seen in a long time

[@johnedwards8834]

Brilliant, this is so helpful, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have subscribed to your channel.

[@johngibson1072]

Super awesome ! Thanks. ( Not buying the "what button to press" books any more. )

[@andywira]

So many powerful tips! Jamie u never disappoint. :)

[@CrisostomoIbarra1989]

Thank you!

[@gu4xinim]

Just like to say I appreciate the sonic level intros.

[@FrankP83]

Jamie thanks a lot for your tricks!Do you know if is possible to apply a preset on, but not on entire photo?For example i want to apply a preset to the background but preserve the skintones...that would be great!

[@jamiewindsor]

There are a few ways to do this. 1. Create a virtual copy of the photo and open both in Photoshop. Put on over the other and mask the bits you want. 2. See if you can recreate the preset using only local adjustments, then mask out the skin tones with a colour mask. 3. See if you can 'undo' the preset effect on skintones with local adjustments and then use a colour mask.

[@FrankP83]

@@jamiewindsor thanks Jamie for the answer, I've tested successfully the first option...hope in future all the changes can be done with the brush,also curves!Because now just some of the stuff can be "bushed"...

[@ignacymat]

very nice, as always! thanks

[@vesper_ohaiz]

This is GOLD 🤗🤗🤗

[@captainianr]

10/10. Cheers JW!

[@reflixtionsofself7716]

Thanks Jamie , Saved me hours pure magic...……………………………...

[@brunoabreu6898]

Nice one. Allthough I don't use LR. :) I like your videos a lot. Very creative, with a lot of atencion to artistic direction. That being said the thing I like te most is your hightlight on the artistic process and not on camera specs. I have being learning a lot from your videos. And enjoying photography more and more. I really appreciate when famous photos and photographs appear in your videos so their process is discussed. It has made me think of educating myself. I like music, like most people, can name a lot of music, álbuns, bands styles of music, musicians and I can also put them in chronological order, I like photography but can't name a photographer our a photo our a movement (although it's the same for every art, romantic, realistic, abstract;)). Also I appreciate the way you let the audience think not concluding anything as absolute. "beware e the rule of thirds". That being said, have you considered doing a video, our a series, about you favorite our/and what you think are essencial photographers/photografy books? Thank you again and keep up the great work. It is like a oxigen bubble for me.

[@aveh9895]

Hello Jamie to use Lightroom in mac, do I need to purchase or can i use freely?

[@TomWindeknecht]

Great tips and tricks list!

[@AntoniPaquet]

Now, how can you crop an image while keeping aspect ratio AND original pixels size? I mean... how to not "1920x1080 -> crop/zoom-in output size be 1918x1078" but keep it cropped, still exporting 1920x1080 (I know it zooms in, but is it even possible?) Thanks!

[@dhyogofotografia]

Man you are amazing.. so good stuff!

[@glegalee]

Thanks Jamie :)

[@zenialia]

Great and helpful as always.

[@Johnclark1990]

you posted a video ...it's a good day :) edit: i think these tipps are so good I shared the video with some of my photography friends

[@jamiewindsor]

Thank you. Glad you found them helpful.

[@xkal636]

Thank you for the video as always! 🙏 this tips are going to save me a ton of time 👍

[@erichearduga]

If you aren't keeping your videos with the photos from the same event, where are you storing videos and do you use a DAM for video?

Still learning by playing. Sadly I can't use the latest LR as I don't have Windows 10
