[@timurhant469]

The only thing I hate about your videos is how soothing your voice is. Instead of learning, I relax and think about a short and cosy nap:)

Mr. Morganti

[@videoluvr2]

Thank you, Anthony. It is always good to see how different photographers process their images; it helps in developing our personal workflows. I appreciate this.

[@joegodwin6818]

I found this video quite helpful. Just direct and uncomplicated so I can emulate it in my own efforts. Thanks

[@martyzechman2793]

I always enjoy seeing how such a skilled editor approaches a photo. Thanks

[@cii1072]

Nice video, nice instruction, nice teaching.

[@haroldmassey5966]

Thanks Anthony. Good tips for me to try.

[@ralphpayne6259]

It's very good to have the occasional re-look at processing process. Looking at your latest approach helps others review theirs. Thank you.

[@ilesmic]

Overall I agree with your process and I learned so much from you on LR - My only thought and again only my thought, is I would take a brush and bring down the rock highlights in the bottom bright rock area. To my eyes that is a little distracting. The rest of it looked great. Thanks for your videos.

[@romwint409]

Thank you! Very helpful advice.

[@ericwilcox2442]

It's nice to see a video like this from time to time. I learned most of what I know about LR from you so my process is right on with yours. I also generally use a mask and sharpen my subjects. Didn't look like you really needed it for this particular shot.

[@matglenday5428]

Brilliant workflow process, love how you simplified editing in this video and will use it to process my photos.

[@susanmeyer8885]

Thanks for the updated video. I have learned so much from you and really appreciate it! I am working on updating my workflow and this was very timely!

[@grahamegannon9708]

It is nice to see how you process photos from time to time. I tend to process mine very simmer to you, however watching someone else process a photo give you ideas and try some things differently, if that makes sense.

[@erickgodoy1232]

I recently saw your video talking about the new masking tool that LRC came out with last year and that led me here. So far after 2 videos, I am impressed with your explanation and easy to understand. You dont make silly jokes or have annoying background music but youre rather straight to the point with clear and precise explanation. Well done on these videos and keep bringing more! .... you got yourself another subscriber ! :)

[@creynolds247]

Thanks for this video - always interesting to see the slider manipulation from a someone with a lot more confidence and experience with LR photo editing!

[@kstanley9119]

Great video, thanks for posting.

[@robertspaulding2905]

Thanks!

[@stevengahr6660]

Nice tutorial. A bit surprised that you left the profile on the default adobe color rather than selecting camera natural or camera landscape.
