Wow! From all the Lightroom Tutorials I have watched, this one was the best by far! It's comprehensive, cover a lot, its short enough that the video is not dragging on and was so fun to watch. Also, the examples of when you would use what, really helped. For example, the Autumn foilage look, polirisation, etherial glow, etc. Thanks so much, this was exceptional.

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Thank you very much, that means a lot to me, hope it will help you for future editing :-)

This was a spectacular video that covers so much in a very smooth, compact, and effective manner. I've used Lightroom for many years now, and I've been on a bit of a binge of your uploads lately, and it's incredible how much I've learned is possible that I didn't know prior or totally forgot about. This really is my go-to channel for postproduction tips, and BOY are there so many! Vielen Dank! ☺

Hope you can find some useful information for the mobile version!

[@rrr46060]

great tips, just fyi you should specify this is for LRC, not LR

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Thank you! Thats true, always forget there are more LR versions :/ However a lot of these tricks should work in LR as well I think

[@babaarcuszatir]

While these are more like tips and not secrets, still helpful. If anyone read the official manual, would find them, but you know…people 😂

[@pcmadusha4781]

What is the Lr edition you are using

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

I'm using Lightroom Classic 2022

[@pcmadusha4781]

@@ThePhlogPhotography thank you ❤

[@JM_CruzLeal]

The problem that I see is that you cannot work with the photo from the hard drive, YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO IMPORT, in Capture one you can retouch photos regardless of not making catalogs, thanks for the video.

[@sandrobedinobrecht8509]

Unfortunately, that's not quite right. In CaptureOne you also have to either make a session or import the image. The same in LR or in LRC

[@JM_CruzLeal]

@@sandrobedinobrecht8509 In CAPTURE ONE, there is a section called "system folders", where you can go to a folder or photos that are on the PC's hard drive, and you can edit them without having to import them. (I'm sure) Greetings.

[@sandrobedinobrecht8509]

@@JM_CruzLeal thank you Jose, i will check that out☺️

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Its true, you always have to import, for me however it never really was a problem so I kind of didnt notice this :-) I guess it makes sense since Lightroom is also used to cataloug your photos

[@curtiswiens9372]

Seriously? This is a great quick basic Lightroom tip video for beginners. The title is extremely misleading. These are all super basic if you have been using LR for even a little while.

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Thanks for commenting, but how is the title misleading? these are tips & tricks for beginners, just like the title suggests

Thank You ))
