5 Creative Editing Tips in Lightroom

[@vinicom100]

Holy...! These are fantastic tips! Absolutely love the one with the gradient mask luminosity!

[@scottsoutter7271]

The crop tip to get a view of range on your subject... pure awesome. I have a new tool in the toolbox now. Good stuff, Alex.

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks Scott :)

[@vishypai7554]

Simple but powerful tips. Thank you, Alex!

[@AlexArmitage]

Anytime Vishy

[@ChicoAmorin]

Always a chill vibe watching your videos. Keep it coming bro

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks Chico :)

[@jimroehm3938]

As someone who is just trying to become more proficient in Lightroom, this is one of the most useful videos I've seen! Thank you VERY much!! 😃 😎

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks Jim and glad to help :)

[@davidsargentphotography]

Tip 2 about range masking a grad filter across the whole image is a fantastic bit of information. I'll absolutely be using this. Great video!

[@AlexArmitage]

Yeah I might make an entire video on it!

[@davidsargentphotography]

@@AlexArmitage I'd watch that! Perhaps do a comparison video of this method in Lightroom to doing actual luminosity masking in PS? I'd love to know if you get basically the same returns doing it this way in LR. I know PS has much more control, but I always look for good excuses not to open an image in PS if I don't have to haha

[@AlexArmitage]

@@davidsargentphotography Excellent idea. I think I'll look into trying to replicate an image using both methods.

[@madeinyann3017]

I really liked your personality, so smooth and nice, thank you for not screaming at us, all fake exited like so many other youtubers, that's -at least for me- a great plus! besides your tips are awesome, I'm a beginner and your videos are helping me a lot :)

[@AlexArmitage]

THE ONLY 5 LIGHTROOM TIPS YOU'LL EVER NEED. Haha thanks Madeiny, I really appreciate it especially considering I'm still trying to find my place in the abundant world of KZbin.

[@lloydpenpraze]

Just came across your channel Alex, I was so impressed with your video I've subscribed. Gonna spend this weekend going through your library, impressed with your delivery and knowledge, keep it up young man 👍

[@AlexArmitage]

Wow thanks Lloyd! Hope I can continue to live up to your expectations :) Thanks for the support.

[@trentb4631]

Thank you Alex, awesome advice. Keep up the great work.

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks Trent :)

[@ramonbugeja5975]

Tip 1, 2 & 3 were awesome mate. Been using LR for 2 years or so now, these are great tricks. Thanks for sharing. Earned my sub!

[@AlexArmitage]

Hey thanks so much Ramon and welcome!

[@EladYosha]

Literally "Outside the box" ! That could have been easily one of the priceless Lightroom video tips I ever saw, and it is less than 2 hours ;-)..

[@AlexArmitage]

My original title for this video was 5 "Outside the box" tips in lightroom but I changed it in case there was a language barrier and people didn't know what that meant haha. Thank you Elad!

[@PeteHappyFeet]

You´ve gained a fan, and subscriber! neat video, short and to the point. Looking forward to more content! :)

[@AlexArmitage]

Hey thanks Peter and welcome!

[@yahchile7681]

Just saw you on your video on my iPad feed, wow! And I love the music too.. subscribed! 🤟

[@AlexArmitage]

Hey thank you Debra and welcome :)

[@PTPhotography]

Really enjoyed tip #3 that's a nice way to add tonal contrast. Thanks!

[@AlexArmitage]

Thank you Phillip :)

[@jasperbuitenhuis6771]

Great video, I love video's like this because it's quick and "easy" but interesting and super helpful!

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks Jasper. If only I had endless amounts of tips haha

[@jasperbuitenhuis6771]

@@AlexArmitage hahaha I know. Just read the manual and I'm sure you will find something worth sharing. I would do it my self but I'm a terrible read I need to hear my information, thanks to youtube I've learned a million things and times faster. I wish I had it growing up.

[@AlexArmitage]

@@jasperbuitenhuis6771 time to bust out the manual! wait... there's a manual? haha

[@kbqvist]

Thanks for the histogram tip!

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks for the comment!

[@juliemazeau7238]

Thank you so much for this tips, I discovered your videos some days ago and I am watching all day long this helps me to transform a simple image to a beautiful one !

[@AlexArmitage]

Thanks Julie for such kind words! Hope your editing is going well :)

[@gadus5510]

I absolutely love watching your KZbin videos. You really bring the pictures to life. I have been editing for the last 7 years but watching your videos elevated my editing to the next level. Thank you! Wishing you great success

[@AlexArmitage]

Hey thank you so much Adus!

[@sacmoto]

Another excellent video with practical tips... Yep, been there with editing - just gets boring after a while. This is great! I have one personal suggestion, and it sounds kinda picky, but the background music you use gives me anxiety! But it won't stop me from liking and watching your videos! THank you again.

[@AlexArmitage]

Huh thats really weird, I actually put this song in my videos because everyone says it's relaxing? Is it the particular song or just having music in general? I can't find the right balance!

[@sacmoto]

@@AlexArmitage yeah it’s hard to please everyone. I stopped trying to find the right bed music for my aerial train video channel and just let natural sound fill the void. I think your calming voice and instruction alone is perfect without needing to add any bed music. Might just save you an extra step in video editing.

[@AlexArmitage]

@@sacmoto Ill poll around and if I keep it, apologies in advanced! Thanks for the support regardless

[@sacmoto]

@@AlexArmitage No need to apologize! I'm super appreciative of all your effort. The old saying, "beggars can't be choosers" applies here!

[@agstudioband]

Great tips! I cannot wait for another 5 of them :)

[@AlexArmitage]

Hah it was hard enough for these 5 :P

[@jessenelson]

I'm just getting back into photography and these tips are great! I have never fully realized the power of Lightroom until now. Hoping to simplify the editing process and make 95% of my edits in LR only. With more tips like these I will be well on my way to that goal

[@AlexArmitage]

Awesome to hear Jesse and good luck with your edits!

[@wza360]

I would love to see this done also in new Lightroom (not just Lightroom Classic). Thanks, useful tips

[@AlexArmitage]

I think it's time I try out mobile and see what I can do for people in terms of tips/help

[@RaysAstrophotography]

Thanks for the tips!

[@AlexArmitage]

Anytime Ray!

[@Suhailkhan53]

Nice tips

[@haugerd]

Many thanks for those great tips! But how can I benefit from using the histogram at all? I understood the way it works, but how can I integrate it in my workflow? Thanks already! 😊

[@AlexArmitage]

David I think one of my next videos will be able the histogram so be on the look out in the next few weeks

[@haugerd]

@@AlexArmitage You‘re the best! I definitely will! 😍💪🏻

[@stephencampbell7395]

Great tips? Thank you Alex

[@AlexArmitage]

I dunno, are they great tips? hehe

[@stephencampbell7395]

@@AlexArmitage Yes, I did not realize that I had hit the ? as opposed to the ! My favorite is the Saturation to 100 on Calibration..I have created a Preset for it.

[@AlexArmitage]

@@stephencampbell7395 I kind of assumed that but I also thought it was a funny mistake :)
