Omg, who is this angel of photography spilling the hot tea and not gate keeping? I love him, God bless him 🤘

[@BandH]

Scott Kelby always has the tea ☕️

[@lynettemcg3899]

Scott you’re just ‘The Best’. Great tips & brilliant delivery. Brightens my day watching you videos.

[@jforester7]

That shift double click black and whites things is amazing, yet I'm sorta mad that I'm only just now learning of it.

[@joshuagharis9017]

Yea, I can't wait to use that trick

[@joshuagharis9017]

And the glow removal in Photoshop

[@jforester7]

@@joshuagharis9017 I'm wondering if the glow removal trick works in LR being that it's the same tool.

[@phphoto6901]

I've been using lightroom for ten years and am still learning these tricks. I love learning new secrets

[@paulhchamberlain2362]

Hey Scott! remember all those PhotoShop Live events? I sure do, and you too! keep those back-to-back/hit-tips coming!

[@erikhy]

That was one of the best editing videos I've ever seen, hitting every one of my tear-the-hair out problems I routinely run into. Those danged edge glows! I have an eagle in a spruce tree where those glows around the needles have driven me insane. It is a true pleasure watching a master at work. Best. Video. Ever.

[@scottabergermd]

He is the MASTER, what else need be said? There is no better teacher for this than Sir Scotty Kelby.❤️👊🏻

[@jollino]

I've had to put my photography hobby on hiatus, but Scott's attitude really makes me want to pick it up again as soon as possible. Thanks for this!

[@bandyo]

The reflection trick is mindblowing. Why didn't I ever think of it!!!! Simply brilliant... surely going to try it :)

[@justwhenithought]

This is probably the best quick-and-easy tip I've fortunately come across. Thanks.

[@JayJanePhotography]

Thanks for shedding new light on these Lightroom features that we've been using for ages. The same tools have more hidden blades than we think!

[@gburgMD]

Seriously!!! In 25 minutes, you've solved about 99% of all of my outdoor photos issues. Thanks!!!

[@BandH]

We love to hear that, thanks for watching!

[@ArrolAdventures]

A light dawned today after watching this, I have had a sub to lightroom/photoshop for years and never have gotten past cropping! Thank you so much for explaining this in such a way that even I could follow it!

[@bernym4047]

Love the elimination of the halo/fringe with the clone stamp. Also works in Gimp. The negative switch for dust spots also works in darktable. Thanks for the video.

[@catherinehouy3731]

Thank you

[@leojphilip732]

How do you visualize spots in darktable?

[@deepotter6774]

Just when I thought I knew all the tricks in Lightroom... and there they are: the hidden gems I didn't even know to look for. Thanks, Scott!!

[@robertseals9165]

So glad I found this video! Life changing or rather photo changing goodness!

Even though I make most of my adjustments through Luminar NEO, I still enjoyed this presentation. Especially because of the humor and perfect explanation of the presenter: Scott.

[@BandH]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@fsphotographic7683]

Amazing! The double click on the white and black is something that I ddi not know was there. Also you just save me a lot of time on filling in the glow areas with the Darken feature. Thank You for the video and in the direct to the point method.

[@stevengreen9738]

Just learnt more in 25 minutes than hours of trolling through other videos, thanks Scott. As a side note would you consider doing a video on how you set your Intuos Pro up for landscape editing?

[@vdphotosnfun]

[@relentlessundrdawg]

Great video. There are a few tips in the video that I have used also, but there are others that I may try.

[@tmarq4655]

Excellent video. Love it, thanks.

[@MrSaidaqqa]

Hello Scott, one of the best constructive videos, thanks a lot my friend.

[@YoSpiff]

I was pleased to find that many of your "secrets" were things I am already doing, though I use Luminar and Corel PSP. The tip for eliminating haloing was new to me and I will be trying that one! One thing I do to add some subtle dimension to a shot with a lot of texture, is to do some selective tonemapping/clarity, by duplicating the layer, tonemapping/clarity on the bottom layer and then masking through in a few (sometimes a lot of) surfaces to give some areas a little pop to stand out from the rest. It works really nicely on rocky surfaces. Not as quick as most of the tips you offered, but I like what it does without screaming that this effect was used.

[@fernandoMPadue]

just amazing!!

[@VlogPhotography]

Loved this video. Really informative and helpful in lots of ways. Thank you for sharing.

[@imprintedmind4487]

Wonderful presentation

[@EDKFtravels]

WOW! THANK YOU!!! I have already been using -100 highlights, darken blues, and the vignetting, but man I have some more new great ideas!!!

[@BandH]

Great to hear!

[@sb1493]

Excellent tips. Learned a lot especially in Lightroom.

[@AbhinavanandSingh]

Absolutely amazing!

[@TommyMacTube]

damn...I couldve used that "darken" the glow edge so many times as well I'm shocked about the first image making it a mirror "lake" shot. good stuff man.

[@StuWright]

good job, helped me , thanks

[@allenchiu9664]

Great stuff. I like your books and your directly helpful style comes through in this video just like your books.

[@JasonBonnicksen]

Love all these. Thank you, Keeping his one in my watch later file

[@speliotis]

love the flip for reflection !!!

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Brilliant. I use quite a few of these tips, but the white/blacks the grad filter mask outstanding thanks so much. Easily earned a well deserved new sub n like. Regards Paul

Great to hear and welcome to the channel!

[@maircraft4079]

Very good! This is explained in a very easy way and can be helpful as one gains confidence in their post editing skills.

[@JohnHPettigrewFujishooter67]

Is the sky in the image at 17.27 from Luminar sky replacement?

[@bobketteringham4779]

Excellent tutorial! I’ll have to get used to Photoshop

[@stephencarmickle]

First impression I do not like the reflection technique or sky replacement at all. But I did learn some things I DO like! Great tips. Don’t get me wrong, the technology is cool but I guess Im one of those guys that thinks at a certain point it just isn’t photography anymore. But at the same time, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone out to shoot a sunset and it’s a complete dud, more times than not. Im sure we all have experience with that. I’ve gone to the same spot for 3 months straight waiting for a good sunset to compliment the scene, which is absolutely ridiculous but I have the satisfaction of feeling like I really worked for it. And I guess if you’re using your own sky photos it’s still your photography, I would just feel like I’m cheating. Like I’m holding onto some dirty secret I’d be ashamed of if anyone found out. But hey if all my favorite athletes are doing steroids then I should too! ugh I think this comment is just me attempting to work out the moral dilemma in my head or if it really is a dilemma at all. Who knows what photography will become in the future, it’s probably just a debate now since we are in the middle of a very quickly growing period of technological advancement. In 20, 50, 100 years these techniques may be outdated and purists will say “back in my day we had to take our own sky photos and replace our boring skies in photoshop!” I need to go to bed. 😂

[@darrinyo-mamakimble7002]

Hahaha, Man can I relate to your rant…11:55 pm one hour into the rabbit hole

[@JayJanePhotography]

Haha, I think AI will automatically generate random clouds in the future!

[@darrinyo-mamakimble7002]

@@edward8930 ugh 😩 I really hope not, sadly you’re probably right.

[@thierrygillard6896]

I agree. At some point, people should just grab some water colors and an easel and start painting. That's perhaps the shortest way to the expected result. Getting to the image you want is a matter of planning and luck. It requires time, dedication, even resilience sometimes and some technique. And that's the beauty of it. I of course do some retouching myself, but I consider that they are some limits between highlighting scenes and casting hints of discredit on photography. Internet is full of software that takes a picture of you in the pond next to your door in Michigan under the rain, and make it look like summer vacation in Bora-Bora. Is that photography? Not by definition. Photography, from the greek "writing with light" requires light to create a picture. Pictures you take come initially from light. Imported add-ons come from digital data enclosed in a dark disk. Nothing against that, but state it clearly: "this picture encloses faked parts". Just as any box of cheerios, list the ingredients.The difference between editing and faking lies for me in added stuff that was never there, as clouds in an imported sky. Darkened sky is more than fine, I have other views on imported skies.

[@s.russell4523]

I have the same feelings. Also, some sky replacements just don"t work. The image he added the vignette has the light coming hard from the left and his fake sky has the sun at the back. Oops.....

[@ThioJoe]

Me just learning about the “visualize spots” tool and having been painstakingly pixel peeping to find dust marks 👁👄👁 Also one tip i discovered by accident is sometimes on *certain* landscapes, actually decreasing the texture slider somehow makes the image just “work” better. Probably similar for clarity like Scott mentioned, but a slightly different feel. Hard to describe why, but I think if there is a lot of busyness and complicating foilage in the foreground, reducing the texture for example adds a sort of ethereal vibe without actually reducing sharpness in the main structures. I always thought “why would you want to ever decrease texture or clarity” but sometimes it just looks good.

[@jul232001]

Thank you, really nice tips. I definitely will practice with them

[@ogg66o]
