For white and black levels if you double click on the white and black cursor or just the white and black labels, LR will automatically adjust the levels the way you do it, may be leaving a bit more white or black points not making them all dissapear from the masked view.

I use manual adjustment because often I want to tweak it a bit based on my experience. Besides, what is the fun in automatic adjustments :)

New to Lightroom. Great tips here thanks. I struggle to edit my image to the standard that the camera presents the jpeg, especially the sharpening (bird photography). I shoot with iso as low as possible and do crop quite heavily on small birds in flight so I do realise it is quite a big ask of my Sony a7iv but the camera edit seems to do quite a good job! Any tips gratefully received.

Sorry if those is a stupid question but how do you get the thing top left that says how many mega pixels the shot is?

@ELITE-Flixz 2 ай бұрын

Mine doesn’t show up in Lightroom it doesn’t show how many mega pixels the shot is

Right-click on an image in the grid view. Then select "View Options". Next, select the loupe view tab. You can customize in there what shows up.

I really appreciate your presentation style. Just learning LR and these are great tips. What computer do you use and has it been efficient and enough processing power? Thanks

@MatthewCuda 7 ай бұрын

Thank you! I recommend any modern entry level gaming PC (or better), and a minimum of an RTX 3060 graphics card. Note, that VRAM is the most important when it comes to rendering images and processing video. I got the VRAM idea directly from the techs and other power users of Lightroom and Topaz products.

This is the first time I have seen one of your videos. You have a great teaching style and I learned a lot. The background change was perfect for what I need in wildlife and I will be trying your techniques. Thanks from your new subscriber!

Great video again. I watch it several times so it will stick. 😊 Do you have a recommendations to reduce the background green color only when the subject is also green (like a hummingbird) which you want to maintain.

@MatthewCuda Жыл бұрын

Yes, you can select the background, and then desaturate the green in the background using the saturation slider.

@@MatthewCuda I see. Background only using masking tool. Just like you did with clarity on the last example. That clarity example was surprising.

Hi Matthew - your tip #2 is a game changer for me. My images are a LOT better now using this logic in my workflow. Many thanks from downunder! edit: this video, combined with Jan Wegener's video on sharpness (and fixing perceived sharpness with fixing WB) have helped me a lot.

You are welcome Dave, and I am glad I could help you. Stay tuned for much more.

What white balance would you suggest ????

@MatthewCuda 6 ай бұрын

white balance is both scientific and creative. When outdoors, I shoot daylight balanced or auto. When I get into LR, I use the temperature slider to warm the scene up 95% of the time. Be aware that if you do this, you need to calibrate your monitor's colors so you can get it to your own artistic look. I recommend calibrite (costs more) or spyder x to calibrate your monitor.
