Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop Edit - Salisbury Market Square - Night to Day

In this video we take a rather dark and under-exposed image and turn it into something quite interesting, using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. I also include a sky replacement to remove the plain blue sky. We use a number of the new Adobe AI tools such as Generative Fill and Denoise to help process the image.

Amazing edit. You really do demonstrate what is possible if you approach the edit the right way.

[@jamiermathlin]

thank you 😀

[@randymelton6096]

Exceptional image. Very interesting to see you do a night-to-day conversion rather than your usual day-to-night. I would have never thought about doing this. It's always nice seeing inspiring images that make me want to get out and shoot more. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamiermathlin]

If my work encourages you to get out and shoot more, than I am a very happy man 😀

Ai is not killing Photography it's creating artists.

[@jamiermathlin]

that is a great way to think about it .....

[@yoursanta361]

As usual amazing. I have watched every post now and you have inspired me to create some of my more ordinary photos into works of art...thanks.

[@jamiermathlin]

You are very welcome, I am happy to be of service 😀

thank you Colin 😀

[@Cannygeezer]

Jamie, I want to go to this market place. Your tutorial gives me the inspiration to try to get close to your results. This one is a favorite.

[@jamiermathlin]

Hey Bill, I plan to visit Salisbury in next years workshop. I must publish the itinerary, see you tomorrow at photoclub !

[@Cannygeezer]

Can't wait , man!@@jamiermathlin

[@mikehughes6366]

Awesome Jamie! I’ve never been to Salisbury, it’s looking a little like a ‘western’ town 😂

[@jamiermathlin]

I see what you mean 😀 but it is far away from a western town, it was established in 1220, just a few years before the wild west ! 😀

[@lesstringer]

Thank you for a master class!!!

😀

[@cghoerl63]

Awesome video, I think I learned more about editing a photo then some of the courses I have taken. Good job, I hope you do more. Thank you!!

Jamie: as always great, thank you very much and best regards.

[@jamiermathlin]

Thank you very much 😀

[@stevecoulthard8060]

I watch all of your tutorials, love your style! This was another great one, one thing I would add is the lights you added in the windows would have blended into the scene better if they had been made orange like the other natural interior lights. Also the sky replacement may have benefited from more sharpness/clarity and possibly some grain. Great job though, thanks for walking us through it.

[@jamiermathlin]

you are very welcome, and thank you for taking the time to comment 😀

[@MyStocko]

Fantastic video Jamie.. I learn so much from watching your transformations. You also have a great teaching style. Well done .

[@jamiermathlin]

Thank you David 😀

[@GeorgeMestas]

I want to tell you, that you are a phenomenal artist. Your night conversions have a touch that is so realistic that it looks natural. Reminds me of Thomas Kinkaid. Ok, different style, but he knows where the lights should go. You have that ability. I have always used photoshop, but it cannot do the windows like you can. I get mesmerirized by your youtube productions. Good Job!

[@jamiermathlin]

Thank you George, you know you can switch to Camera Raw inside Photoshop, then you have the same capabilities as Lightroom using the masking functions. personally I like the feel of lightroom so tend to swap back and forth between Photoshop and Lightroom 😀

[@marlinsobbota9846]

Truly beautiful work! You always make your photos look so dynamic and dramatic. The realism simply jumps out at you. I appreciate all the hints and tips, and methodology you give us.

[@jamiermathlin]

Thank you Marlin 🙂

[@philipabercrombie6694]

Another superb tutorial. So much work in this one Jamie and wow, the image just punches out at you. I loved working on this one as it holds nice memories when I visited Salisbury earlier this year. Can't wait to see what your images of the Cathedral look like. Awesome.

[@jamiermathlin]

thank you Philip for the comment, Cathedral image to follow tomorrow 😀

wonderful south of England country city 😀

[@salomon4263]

Fantástico trabajo. Tienes un gran dominio para las luces y como lo explicas muy bien estoy aprendiendo un montón!! Gracias y un saludo.

[@jamiermathlin]

Gracias por tus amables palabras, agradezco tu comentario 😀

[@mrkingdom6683]

Strange that Camera Raw doesn't have the new Denoise tool, and also doesn't have the Transform Guided.

[@jamiermathlin]

I did not know that, as I do not use Camera RAW 😞

[@foisonurlubu4303]

Why do you shoot at f6.3 with a wide angle instead of using the hyper focal distance? F4 would have been quite enough and would have given you 2 stops more, or 1/120 sec!

[@foisonurlubu4303]

or ISO 400

[@jamiermathlin]

Both good questions, the answer is that the lens is an F4 and although it is sharp at F4, it is much sharper between F6.3 and F10, so I try find the balance between speed and aperture, hence the settings. :-)

[@foisonurlubu4303]

in this kind of picture (athmosphere) you don't need crisp sharp images, no one will notice the difference but try to avoid shooting many things you'll have to cut out later. Be sharper with your choices of shooting ! @@jamiermathlin

[@foisonurlubu4303]

You are a very nice gentleman very serious with your videos but looking closely to them, it is mostly about cutting out many many things that should not be in the picture (!) which means, your videos have nothing or so little in common with quality photo graphy (so many errors!). They could be of interest if you could come with videos using different techniques or better maybe, short videos (5-10 minutes) with only generative fill, or the lasso tool, or adding/removing light, remove tool, creating shadows... Thank anyway for your efforts !

[@haakon_b]

It’s a tutorial on how not to edit.

[@foisonurlubu4303]

No, on how not to take pictures !@@haakon_b

[@jamiermathlin]

Thank you for your comment, to answer, it is just my style. We all have different likes and dislikes and we all see the world in different ways, personally I like to change my photographs into images that reflect my way of seeing the world. When I take the photograph, I am already thinking how I could process it :-). If you prefer to process less and not use the tools available in these wonderful pieces of software, then that is your style and I respect you for that ! As I always say, be yourself !

[@user-mw9kw6rk4e]

I love all that you present! But I am not sure why you work with one image? You shoot still life mostly, so bracket and merge without HDR processing on in LR and then you can manually push anything anywhere and not have noise issues. You just have a merged file with incredible DR so you can push it in all directions. Does this not work for you? Just curious! Love the end product as always.

[@jamiermathlin]

Hi Russ, yes HDR works very well, I do have some videos covering this, as you say you can create a huge dynamic range, but what I am trying to show people is that even with single-shot images and higher ISO, you are able to still produce great images using the modern tools available to us 😀
