[@hanshollestelle6887]

Cristal Clear instructions. Thank You.

[@stevenjwebber]

One thing is false. it does not matter what you do first since Lr doesn't change pixels. and its not effected by other sliders. if you first, reduce noise by 30 then sharpen by 100 you will get the same results as you would if you first sharpen to 100 then reduce noise by 30.

[@cecilydrucker3759]

This is the clearest and most helpful explanation I have ever seen/heard! Thank you.

[@kevinsingh31]

Excellent video, one of the best

[@JohnBerthoty]

Best explanation of the mysterious Detail slider in the noise section!

[@vperalta]

Anthony - Great job! This is the best video I've seen explaining the use of Lightroom, in particular sharpening.

[@williampiekney7824]

I try to watch all of his videos because they really do explain Lightroom tricks better than almost anyone. This one is among his very best, or most useful, in my opinion.

[@SimonBastin]

This is amazing. I've never before seen a proper explanation of the additional sliders associated with NR or sharpening. Thanks so much.

[@chrisosborne2267]

Wow - this has got to be the *best* tutorial on how to perform noise reduction and sharpening in LR. Thank you a million times Anthony!

Best tutorial. Clear explanation, subject of these sliders is interesting and applicable to pretty much all of photography work. Then you give a clear explanation of how it works, then how to use all of the sliders for your benefit. Plus you add a workflow to go about doing this right and methodical. Will recommend this video everywhere!

Thank you, Anthony. Most informative - best video I've seen on this topic!

[@brycenew]

This is such gold and classic Anthony Morganti! This is the sort of terrific teaching that led me to subscribe to your KZbin channel before anyone other photographer. And never unsubscribe, unlike most of the other photographer's channels I used to be subbed to. Thank you Anthony so much for all you give us on your channel. Wishing you and your family a fantastic holiday season and a highly supportive 2021, with great health to match. Stay well!

Best tutorial EVER!!! Such a great job explaining Something that can be very confusing.

[@jmhakkinen]

Thanks, I struggled with sharpening in Lightroom, but this clarified the workflow. I will definitely try this tomorrow.

[@Bpjames]

This is fantastic, I've used Lightroom for years fixing some seriously darker, high res images and now I think I need to revisit some of them to see how I could have done them better.

[@backyardjuggler]

THIS IS SUCH A GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for producing this. Love your pace and thoroughness.

[@catherinehouy3731]

Thank you for such clear instructions.

[@YouNeedMyVoice]

5 year ago I've learned Lightroom watching your tutorial, and that's how I got into Photoshop. Today, I learn new tricks about LR sharpening, again thanks to you. You are a great teacher, thank you for producing real editing videos, not Instagram look alike color toning and presets, likle 80% of the youtubers.

[@2229east7thstreet]

By far the most comprehensive and easy to understand presentation of this tricky subject. Great explanation of the actual work flow was very helpful. Thanks!

[@seeyoosoon]

Thank you very much sir for this great video. I’ll never be afraid of increasing the iso from now.

[@raymondkosos]

Really good ! The explanation at the beginning of slider effects using the gray-scale image was especially helpful ! I'm getting better at Lightroom but have to admit in the beginning I had no clue what a lot of the sliders meant / were for so I avoided them ... thanks for this tutorial !

[@gambitadebruselas]

Excellent video. Saving this one for future reference. Thanks a lot!

Excellent. The best intro to all those tools. Thanks.

[@PaigeFamily1]

Thank you, that really "adds clarity"!

[@TaraCrowl]

Video from 3 years ago was still ENORMOUSLY helpful to this amateur. :) Thanks!!

[@ralphpayne6259]

There are lots of somewhat confusing videos out there about this topic - this is not one of them! Really clear and helpful explanation and no silly right or wrong approach. It's one I will certainly recommend!

[@ChristopherLeeFoto]

Want to say a huge thank you for this video. I've been wondering how so many photographers have been able to produce such sharp crisp images. I did everything right but still can't seem to get it tack sharp until I came upon your video! So this is the lesson I've been missing. Thank you soooo much Anthony!!!

[@scarface1961]

Exceptional video. The only video that I have found on KZbin that thoroughly explains what is happening when you use these various controls. GREAT JOB! Others say do this, do that, but never explain why or what is happening. This video cannot get anymore specific about what happens with all the controls used in the video. I can't say enough about it.

[@greglundeen7876]

Thank you so much for this very informative tutorial. I have been using Lightroom for years and learned subtleties that I never knew existed. Thank you for sharing you expertise. This was very well done.

[@PaulHowcroft]

Great explanation, I learned a lot from this. Thank you.

[@Suhailkhan53]

Excellent video. Thanks for this tutorial.

[@GarrySMumford]

Very helpful and thorough video. Thank you 👍

[@eddiespark4444]

Another brilliant explanation of sliders. I have a macro shot of a Prayer Plant Bloom that I've always liked but, was very grainy, I've just followed your instruction and it looks really good now. Thank you for your great instructional videos. I've just climbed another rung on the ladder.

[@marinamaas-williams8910]
