8 Lightroom Editing TIPS You Might NOT Know!

[@hansbroeksteegphotography]

About the map module: 1. Use a track app on your smartphone, that is able to export your track to a GPX file. 2. Sync the clock between your phone and your camera. 3. Now, record your track with the app on your smartphone during your photoshoot. 4. Back home, export your track to a GPX file. 5. In LR, go to the Map Module. Choose Map -> Tracklog -> Load Tracklog and select your GPX file. Your route is now showing on the map. 6. Select all images and go to Map -> Tracklog -> Auto-tag Photos Done! All your photos from that shoot are now containing the GPS data. Thank you, Albert, for sharing your tips!

Very useful, many thanks

[@snippephotography1913]

leuke video en zeker handige tips. ik edit eigenlijk altijd nog met de lightroom mobile op iphone en ipad en de lightroom standaard niet de CC op de mac en er komt steeds meer beschikbaar in beide versies, maar ik begin ook steeds meer te missen wat ik nog niet heb. al vind ik het uiterlijk wel veel mooier. mijn mac ondersteund jammer genoeg de lichtroom CC niet meer, maar als ik mijn computer een update geef is het zeker een ding waar ik nu flink over zit na te denken.

[@colinbaterip2373]

Thank you for this Albert. I never tire of watching you work. I see other KZbinrs who adopt a trial-and-error method to their editing but you always seem to know exactly where you are going with each image, and of course, you know the best way to use each tool.

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

Thanks Colin! That's what I aim for. Knowing the road to the end result is important not only for myself, but also if I am teaching.

[@motherless1000]

Excellent tips as always! Cheers to you and the family!

[@henri.witteveen]

You can connect your phone to the camera. Then every time you take a picture the GPS coordinates are included in the exif data of your picture.

[@fridayfailure]

Nice tips! I'll try to apply it to my workflow :)

[@rohittonapi3692]

Learned something new today 😊

[@jan.eigil.m]

Learned a few things here. If I can suggest a request, it would be a video of color science. How to fine tune colors to match etc. You are so brilliant with this in your photos.

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

I might!

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Great video and advice 👍🙂

[@eaton37]

Always a joy to watch a new video from you Albert. Thanks so much for your instruction this year - loved the editing course and highly recommend. All best Christmas and New Year wishes from the UK. 🎄

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Same to you!

[@kentaylor1321]

Great tips! Couldn't get tip 6 to work correctly. The mask did not contain the color adjustments

[@foisonurlubu4303]

Thank you gentleman !

Great video, thanks!👍🏻🇸🇪

[@gooner-n5]

Brilliant tips cheers 👍🏻

[@JorgeReyes-Cardero]

I have subscribed to your channel as of today because you show that you have a lot of experience and because of how easy it is to understand you. Congratulations. As for the "Smart White Balance" method, I perceive it as very subjective and imprecise. Do you know of another more precise method other than the automatic ones that Lightroom brings? Thanks.

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

I find it a great way to judge white balance, but yes, it's subjective in the end. If you want super accurate white balance, you simply bring a grey card to the scene and take a photo of it each time you shoot photos. You can set your WB with your camera on that card. This is what people would use when shooting video. Or you can use the colour picker in LR to simply click the card, and your WB would be 'correct'. However, does it really matter to have a 'super accurate' white balance? Photography is about your vision and preference, so I see no issue with a subjective white balance by using the 'white balance trick'. Just my thoughts :)

[@JorgeReyes-Cardero]

@@AlbertDrosPhotography Thank you very much for your prompt attention to my question. You are absolutely right about the subjective nature of photography. I greatly appreciate your opinion. Your recommendation is completely valid. Thank you very much.

[@carlosalbertogonzalezferna8698]

Thanks for sharing🙌

[@rphandler]

Terrific, and yes not all the tricks were familiar.

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

great!

[@rphandler]

@@AlbertDrosPhotography Albert, I just remembered when you had your then new a7Riv in Iceland and I showed you my trick, Brightview programed to a custom button for night photography. We all need to share our tricks!

[@reubencana]

Great tips Albert. I always struggle to refine sky mask when there are busy foreground with trees / mountains etc. Will be helpful if you can do a video on that.

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

for the really complicated mask I usually go into luminosity masking in photoshop and combine several masks. I will do a more advanced video on that at some point :)

[@reuben404]

Thanks Albert.

[@RICHARDWATSONPHOTO]

Like the hair cut 👍🏻💃🏻

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

🤣

[@theramenesthrasybulus8686]

Thanks! But it seems Point Color allows very limited hue change. Did I miss anything?

[@bernym4047]

I don't use Adobe Lightroom, rather darktable. I found ways of using all your tips in darktable. By the way, mask intersecting has been in darktable for several years and is one of the reasons I adopted it as my raw file editor. Thank you for a useful video, I especially liked the negative dehaze.

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

never tried Darktable. Would love to try it some day.

[@buckeroonii]

Worth a try but I found LRC a joy after struggling with darktable for a few years. ​@AlbertDrosPhotography

[@gretchenlibayan1002]

Hi new subscriber here, can you make a video tutorial on proper color grading? love your videos please keep it up!

informative video on aLR

[@pedrobusquets6226]

Thank you very much for sharing this video, I just have a problem that I do not understand English. I need translators into Spanish. I am Spanish, that is, Mallorcan. When will you put your courses translated into Spanish?

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

My course online has Spanish subtitles! I think KZbin can also select Spanish subtitles, or not?

[@Quessir]

I'll be honest, I've seen others talk about using the histogram but I don't see the point. When using the histogram you have to look a little further and pay more attention to see what section you're moving, hovering the mouse over each section. Whereas the sliders have their names right next to them and you can just get to it. I really don't see the advantage in using the graphic histogram over the sliders, being a little slower to do exactly the same job. What am I missing that so many professionals keep talking up use of the visual histogram?

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

I think most people talk about using the histogram to just see where your exposure is and to make sure you're not clipping the whites or blacks. That's super important in the field. And that's a completely different thing than the little tip I am explaining in this video. The tip I explain here is just a fun way to use the sliders in a different (graphical) way. Not more than that

[@Quessir]

@@AlbertDrosPhotography Oh, I see. Yeah, I can see that a visual representation of the whites and blacks would be important to catch. Thanks!

for when your courses in Spanish

they have Spanish subtitles now! :)

[@kristjan-wn3gc]

You do not need to edit your raw data! New people watch this kind of bs and thinking its a landscape photography. Just look at your result, what is it? Its like fairydale children story book nothing is left of reality. Teach people correctly photographing not this digital manipulation of data...

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

this is a useless discussion. Do you even know what RAW data is? It looks nothing like reality.

[@kristjan-wn3gc]

@@AlbertDrosPhotography Of course i know. Raw data is most realistic image what represent a correct ligth, colors and contrast you experienced at your scene. Editing photos in computer by using software to manipulating real light is only phorographer own fantasy, artistic view and it not called photography. Photography is collecting light specific uniy of time and all this hardcore pc stretching is basicaly cheating reality.

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

@@kristjan-wn3gc what you're saying about RAW files is completely wrong.

[@kristjan-wn3gc]

@@AlbertDrosPhotography Oh really? Can you explain closer please? All modern digital camera sensors recording linear light data packed to your raw image what is not represent as same profile as we humans see a light. Human eye see as a non linear profile and only differencial issue between camera sensor is gamma portion due to the peculiarity of electronics. We just need to go to closer to the object to see more. If you open your raw data in common known image software it automaticaly apply a non-linear curve which is the closest reality for our eyes to represent natural light. It may vary by day or night photography but pure raw file is most realistic information we can collect. To be like a Leonardo da Vinci behind a computer and just ridicolously brushing and painting your data by artificial instruments in specific areas on your image is not photography for sure. Its just on porposed to unbalance the correct image caused by your own artistic view of imaginations. You have a very good eye to find out and capture the excellent compositions of our nature what you have to learn your students. The real photography. Have a good day, Albert! 😊
