7 SIMPLE LIGHTROOM TIPS to TRANSFORM your photos

[@FilthyMonkeys]

Great advice and really helpful. You’ve shown ways of using the tool that I want aware of and will be immensely useful.

[@desgardner7169]

Another good video from Nigel with lots of tips, what I like about Nigels finished pictures is that you can still recognise where they were taken after they have been worked on! but the best tip was, leave the picture after a few adjustments and go and make a drink and come back later or even tomorrow.....cheers...DG

[@daviduyaban]

This video is definitely one of the best ones I've seen about this topic!! Thank you so much, Nigel!!

[@mikekerry5466]

It took me a while but I have just graduated from Elements to Lightroom and I found this video extremely helpful. I will play it again a couple of times (even though I have made notes). I really enjoy your work and the very helpful teaching style. Thanks!

[@dozerjohn]

This has to be the best Lightroom mid level tutorial I've seen and trust me, I watched about 60 of them.

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks John

[@agataWKW]

Wow! Graduated filter with selected colour blew my mind! Thank you Nigel! Your vlogs are so informative and I've already learned so much from them. Great job!

[@Rreudiger]

I have seen so many Lightroom Tutorials by now. This tutorial is by far the best of them all. Explained on point in steps everybody can follow and and an absolute sympathetic guy. Thank you Nigel. 👌🏻

[@brianbills7001]

Hi Nigel, thanks so much for this video! I am not new to Lightroom nor am I a seasoned veteran, so much I don't know and don't understand, especially Split Toning and Adjustment Brush. This is exactly the video, the help, that will enable me to further produce the look that I am aiming for in my photos. Thanks Again!

[@jltg]

Great video, Nigel! I rearranged the panels and put the Lens Corrections on top, because is the first step!

[@ChrisHunt4497]

Have just found you Nigel and I am now catching up on all your videos. I am a fan of Thomas Heaton and Simon Baxter and I would say you are every bit as good. I cannot get enough of tutorials and information as I am a beginner. Your pitch is just perfect for me. Have already learnt from this one video alone.Brilliant, thanks.

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks Chris and welcome to my channel. I really do appreciate the kind words and support

[@RonDonson]

One of your very best videos on editing in Lr ! Well done, Nigel!!!

[@NigelDanson]

Kind words - thanks so much

[@megbrodeur]

Your 6th tip is something I will be keeping in mind as I edit in the future! I don't think I've heard anyone else give this advice, but it is so true. Thanks for sharing your process and insights!

[@NigelDanson]

Brilliant - ThNks for the kind words

[@matpez65]

that range mask on the gradient filterl is a game changer

[@shs1592]

Awesome - simply explained - clearly understood - looking forward to more. Thanks Nigel for sharing.

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks a lot Karen

[@guilhermejf8642]

[@lorraine6185]

Really Great information. You keep my attention & your not to fast or slow. I learned a lot. Thank You Lorraine

[@NigelDanson]

Many thanks Lorraine - glad you enjoyed it

[@OhCrazyEggs]

Excellent Lightroom advice Nigel! Thank you.

[@MovingTargetOne]

Great video, 7th tip definitely underrated! I had a shot from the weekend I thought was a write-off. Couple days later I had another look, re-cropped, and BOOM!

[@TheCrustyCrouton]

This video is extremely helpful for a newcomer to photography and Lightroom in general. I'm obsessed with your videos.. Keep up the good work!

[@briandinnage9756]

Excellent 7 Tips - interested in the Presets - Many thanks Brian

[@sutanubhattacharya6307]

your videos are to be liked even before getting started off with them!! Great work!

[@levisl9640]

Nigel, this is a very nice and detail-orientated video for photo editing with Lightroom. 👍🏼

[@carbonejack]

Nigel, Got to this video from Shutterbug. Watched it yesterday. I must tell you I learned more about Lightroom watching this video than I got from most any other source. It explained tings I always wondered about, like graduated filters. Finished the video picked out a photo, and tried some things out. Amazing. Subscribed to your You Tube channel. Thanks and keep it up.

[@NigelDanson]

Glad to head Jack- thanks for the support

[@davidbodine6465]

Your tutorials are so helpful. Thanks

[@Mikegaryhouse]

Incredibly useful video! Thank you. Reassured me in lots of ways but definitely gave me some more knowledge for new ideas.

[@vanessalees2812]

This is a really great video, Nigel. It's so useful to see how you edit and use the Lightroom tools.

[@mikeo7781]

I just started messing around with Lightroom. This video was great, to be honest, it blew my mind! Thanks

[@LCSlade]

Production photography is not what it's all about - so, point #7, walk away from it and maybe even sleep on it, is spot on! Good advice all the way, and I'm going to try aperture priority. Thank you for sharing, and you do beautiful work!

[@fabmarra]

Such a great video! It changed my view of Lightroom. I think I have to invest some hours learning Lightroom

[@sabrinarose6348]

I recently found your channel and I love love love your approach to photography (AND your photos) and have already learned so much. Thank you!

[@danielweaver7174]

I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Will be going away to experiment with range masks! Calendar arrived a few days ago too, looks amazing

[@NigelDanson]

Great - glad you like it

[@MeeruTravels.]

PERFECTLY EXPLAINED. Glad you posted! Thank you.

[@lindsaygoodwin3140]

Thanks so much! Your videos have helped improve my landscape photography. I was just thinking this weekend when shooting on a motorbike trip how much is love to see your lightroom process. Very timely!

[@NigelDanson]

Shooting on a motorbike! Sounds scary! 🤣👍

[@timscott8124]

Great video Nigel, very useful, thanks!

[@paulburwood8231]

Great video Nigel with some excellent tips.

[@valk-photography]

Thank you Nigel for this technical video !

[@peterbiggin7193]

I love the way you edit, so subtle, you are the ninja I am the tank lol. After watching this I intend to slow down and try my best to start my ninja training. Normally I would never consider using presets apart from the ones I have made but I would definitely buy yours

[@NigelDanson]

🙅🏻‍♂️

[@paulsylvia2405]

I’ve rarely used presets in my images and I really should try them more. For my first real effort in using presets I’d be glad to purchase your settings. I really enjoyed watching you push images into your vision on the video. I believe I need to revisit many of my images testing your presets and discovering how to improve my interpretation of my images.

[@gradusvanassen8033]

Thank you for your tutorials. I learn a lot since i discovered them on you tube! I appreciate your encouriging way of explaining!

[@NigelDanson]

Many thanks

[@krishnarajl4251]

Superb video!!! thanks a lot Nigel

[@garryhughes3747]

Thank you for sharing your work flow. Really helpful!

[@turtlesilk]

Good tips- especially #7!

[@RichardBirchett]

Great Stuff Nigel, I've watched countless Videos, tutorial etc and became quite baffled at the end. The way you explain and demonstrate what you do comes across extremely well and has helped me no end. Keep up the good work.

[@NigelDanson]

Brilliant - thanks for the kind words

[@sylvainricher4926]

I always watch your videos so i can improve my photo. Thks

[@TheCallie52809]

I picked-up a few new LR tips from this video that I hadn't used before. Thanks, Nigel.

[@Retset]

Point 6 is something I believe I have majorly overlooked. Many thanks.

[@Paul_Weedon]

Callender received with photograph. Really pleased with it. Love the video.

[@NigelDanson]

Great to hear 👍

[@RolandAllen]

One of the best informational videos on Lightroom I've watched. I'm interested in your presets.

[@NigelDanson]

Many thanks

[@simondc9772]

I love sunday :) Thank you Nigel great video!

[@PhilT993]

Excellent! Great advice. Thank you. Phil

[@xophotoable]

I picked up some important tips, great tutorial thanks

[@paulrooker7013]

What a fantastic video . Thank you so much

[@markjltilly]

Great video Nigel, only just started using Lightroom. I find your videos help all stages of capability. I’m a complete beginner, since watching your KZbin channel my photography has improved so much. 👍

[@NigelDanson]

That is great to know Mark 👍👍👍

[@bh6279]

Wonderful Nigel, I just bought Lightroom Because of this video

[@NigelDanson]

Brilliant! (Are you listening adobe! 😜)

[@toolsandtoys6606]

Thank you. You have been a big help to me learning and understanding photo editing.

[@lauraburke2465]

So much helpful information - I love the filter mask info - I use Snapseed on my mobile shots which is just so easy, and knew that Lightroom would be much more powerful, this video has really filled in a lot of gaps for me. Thanks!

[@NigelDanson]

I love snapseed too 👍

[@SebastianGlaser_google]

I was not aware of the range mask tool at all! How nice is that :) Thanks

[@Wo0d1e]

Pauses at range masking... Opens up Lightroom... bangs head on table 😂😂 How have I missed that one all this time. Definitely adding that to my workflow in future. Thank you sir 🧐🙏🏼

[@DflyDude]

I like the idea of your presets as a starting point.

[@jakemarch-jones2789]

Great video... even for beginners this is so understandable. Thank you Nigel!

[@johnbentley1056]

Interesting video. I love watching how other photographers process their images. While there are always some similarities there are also those creative differences which sets the images apart. Great work.

[@JLi0719]

Totally agree with what you wrote!!! Love to see those differences too!

[@ThrottleRaaja]

awesome tutorial dear. nice mentor. thx with love from India.

[@jasonkennedy2045]

Great vlog mate and awesome tips as always... HUGE THANKS for the CALENDAR that turned up on Saturday... as another youtuber would say... Stunning!! Fantastically packed and looks incredible. Really enjoyed the making of vlog and your attention to detail, shot selection and overall creation does you proud mate!! And the Additional print was equally great... cheers mate!! Jase

[@NigelDanson]

Many thanks for the feedback- really do appreciate it

[@mikeallen4081]

Wow....great tips. Thanks Nigel!

[@347932082]

I am just getting into Lightroom and this video was VERY helpful

[@mikehart5723]

The best Lightroom tutorial i have seen. Excellent and easy to understand delivery. I agree about point 7, its a great tip. I would be interested in your presets if they were made available .

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks a lot Mike

[@oleidole6168]

Another great video Nigel! Thanx!!

[@PathanPhoto]

Great video, Nigel. Thanks for that. You have one more subscriber.

[@db1machine]

Awesome video. Ty for sharing!

[@adansegura8909]

wow. been using lightroom for 4 years now and this has expanded my knowledge and how to really use the tools properly. Thanks man.

[@martinstokes5596]

Thanks Nigel..very usefull and relevant to taking your images and photography to the next level..

[@hejarshahabi114]

do you believe that I am going through all your videos on photography. you are the good one, keep going on.

[@techanddesignnikhil]

I may have to go through video twice or more but its really helpful.....thank you.

[@bobclothier685]

Wonderful, easy to follow, presentation, Nigel.

[@eltiburon1983]

one of the best lightroom tutorials out there! thanks so much!

[@anncalypso]

That's what I've been looking for for so long! Thank you very much for the tutorials! They REALLY help and inspire a lot :)

[@NigelDanson]

Glad to hear Anna - thanks for watching

[@clairebrooksphotography]

Really really helpful video here Nigel, thank you. Definitely one to bookmark and return to (with more coffee). Love the techie stuff that takes a good composition with amazing light to the next level. Ps also thanks for the calendar and I got the print I really hoped for too yay!

[@NigelDanson]

That is great news - so pleased to hear that

[@brianbracherphotography]

I have just started to make the time with my editing, and to do more than just use the auto and a few basic adjustments. I realise I have not made the best use of the graduated filter. This video has come at a perfect time and really helped me a lot to understand more about the HSL and colour toning section. Also great that it has come from a Brit - nothing against our friends over the Atlantic, but the images you are using are mainly from the UK, and so similar in location to mine, though of course loads better quality! And like others have said, I like the 7 step approach. Thanks again and looking forward to seeing your presets

[@leosmithphotovideo3944]

Yes to presets for 10 quid!! Thanks Nigel. I do think the color and luminance range masking feature for local adjustments is one of the most significant additions to LR in the last couple of years -- it means less need (or no need) to go to photoshop and use luminance masks or color range -- i always like to stay in LR as much as possible, since edits are infinitely more maintainable (everything is maintainable at all times, rather than having edits buried down in the layer stack) and file sizes are a fraction of the size. Many thanks for the Vid. Cheers, Leo.

[@leslielanderkin8301]

Perfect for someone quite comfortable with LR as it provides small nuances that go a step further. Thank you. Leslie

[@ibarrabenjamin1]

Thanks for the video and sharing your expertise with us. Knowing your work make the idea of the presets offer very appealing. I believe that putting them for sale will be welcomed by the community because we have seen through your images the purpose and results. I look forward to hear when you plan to release them.

[@iqueque]

I look forward to joining one of your workshops in the future- after I recover from a fractured spine. Thanks for this video.

[@NigelDanson]

Ouch- wishing you well 👍

[@gooddad11]

Number 6 is my favourite!

[@radishcastle]

Brilliant! Thank you so much.

[@wendynewing8834]

Thank you so much for this brilliant video and sharing your editing techniques. It has helped me so much. What a lot of content.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Really insightful mate. I really took a lot from the sixth point - I think I often tend to wanna stretch out my histogram to try and ‘maximise’ the dynamic range in the image, which is definitely not necessary! Cheers Nigel 👍🏼. Henry.

[@UnaNeary]

Same here. I think now I will use the histogram more as a guide but not stretch it out. :)

[@MaximeTessier]

Point 6 is refreshing! I need to experiment with that, and try to chill out when my histogram is not perfectly filled. very nice one. keep it up!

[@umbulede4765]

weein vdeo

[@JohnHorner34]

Thanks for a very informative video. I was particularly taken by the use of the colour range grad tool. Previously I’ve only used the HSL tab to adjust colour and luminance on the grad. Going to give these a go. Presets? Yes. As well as being able to use them, I find you can learn new ways of using the different sliders as you see how the preset was ‘made’. The pricing is about right too. Thanks for taking the time to make this video and share it with us Nigel.

[@jhayward3766]

Very insightful and enjoyed the way you presented the information. Will incorporate these tips into my own editing. Cheers.

[@BobbyBabaletskos]

Great info on the graduated filter range masks, selecting a certain color range, Nigel! I have been struggling to take away the blue hue caused by using the “dehaze” slider. Can’t wait to try it out!

[@NigelDanson]

I never use the dehaze

[@anthonyplancherel8274]

Excellent tips in the video Nigel, thank you. Yes, definitely interested in presets. I was wondering if you would release some. All the best!

[@ronnicolas4001]

Thank you so much for this video. For me, the timing was excellent as i'm just starting to explore LR a bit more for 'serious' edits, and since I love your work, seeing how you do things is a real help. I also want to say that you do a wonderful job 'teaching' your techniques and the thought behind them. So many people drop the ball on one or the other aspect. Registered.

[@NigelDanson]

Many thanks Ron - appreciate the kind words

[@889media]

So Happy that I found your channel a few videos after you started it! Now I have a lot of catching up to do, and after viewing your latest videos there are still a lot more videos available :)

[@jeff_freestone]

Great work Nigel! It’s always great to see how a photographer processes there own images. Your content is so great, you give the audience what they want and you just keep improving. I’m so happy to see the success you have had from day one and it shows that releasing good quality content is what’s key to success on here. Good on you!

[@NigelDanson]

Thanks so much Jeff - really appreciate the continued support

[@andrewpadfield1397]

Really helpful video - thank you. Very interested in presets.

[@jrcandela77]

thanks for sharing your knowledge Nigel...very useful tips!!

[@alexfrederickson1540]

Yes please to the presets and thank you for this video. Post processing is often too scientific for my liking but your way of explaining it is great 👍🏼 🤗

[@gilleswalther5964]

Learned few new editing technics here. Thank you!

[@bbsphotography2187]

Mind blown......and yet I understood your explanations perfectly. Great video.

[@G0FUW]

Great to see how you work in LR Nigel. I probably don't spend enough time on the finer points - I was always told to do as little as possible and if in doubt, don't. I must try the split toning, not something I have done before. As always, your video has inspired me to try something new. Many thanks.
