The things you showed in this video,can it work on an iphone XR,pls I would like to know

[@phelsoncolaco4092]

Preset download is not working

[@Micheck-1]

Just became a subscriber to your channel bruh love your knowledge your dropping, Im not no professional, But I find photography a hobby and relaxing, sometimes I’ll drive 30mins away to take some photos…

[@---zp3ng]

I was looking for the preset you mentioned and the items to get a photography business started. This link doesn’t seem to be it, though. Is there a different link you posted? Thanks. I enjoyed your video.

[@user-cu2xh5iu6u]

You went sooooo fast, I had to save it in order to go back in forth

[@ReWriteYourMind]

I often skip through this kind of tutorials but this time I watched all of the video because you don’t add a lot of fluff and speak on a very nice level that’s easy to follow. Thank you for this.

[@guest3858]

this tutorial would probably be in my top 3 for any subject and im just learning about this now. you did an amazing job here and deserve more subs

[@Redwater_media]

It's ridiculous how far phone camera quality has come in recent years.

[@ChrisPieta]

Yeah I was not expecting to make a video like this but here we are!

[@LukeVega]

It’s really not a surprise. As time goes by the more technology advances.

[@snoks]

I hope for the iPhone 15 Apple takes a slice from Google pixel… the pixel phones have such a crazy camera

[@44Bdogg]

It’s crazy ridiculous

[@anushaanu4645]

@@ChrisPieta Hi Chris I tried in my iPhone 13 mini but that apple pro RAW setting is missing in the first step itself

[@Sushi-sama7]

Thank you for the awesome video! I just upgraded from 12 pro max to 15 pro max and am a bit overwhelmed by all the choices. And thanks for setting real expectations such as taking practices while many KZbinrs often say “this will change your life” type of exaggerated things. You got a new subscriber now.

[@bigdumbanimaltravels]

Awesome video, no BS chatter. Very direct information and examples. Love it. Thank you.

[@ChrisPieta]

Appreciate the feedback! Means a lot

[@j4mR0ck_0G]

You sir have earned yourself a new subscriber. Great tips! Very easy to understand for a beginner like myself. Awesome quality!

[@zaredt]

This video is so helpful! Thank you! Recently I upgraded from iPhone XS to 13 Pro and I didn't understand why my low light photos on XS looked better than 13 Pro. The problem is in processing. Newest phones are overexposing bringing shadows too much and XS also makes photos more contrasty, so that now I use photographic style to return that contrast back.

[@MysteriousBeingOfLight]

Reverse, my iPhone X and XS are beautygate so all pictures looked like oil painting ...

[@zeynepemre1995]

I have the same problem and dont understand the reason. I was using an x and upgraded it to 13

[@FellipeRodrigues89]

Great informative video. Straight to the point. I didn’t realize there was an option to save all the previous settings. Thank you!

[@ChrisPieta]

Thank you my friend! Appreciate you taking the time.

[@hockey161616]

What? It literally took him 2 minutes to get into the video lmfao

[@isearia9348]

Why whem i try to edit pic on LR my pic getting dark

[@itsxstarz9056]

I went from a 7+ to a 14 pro last year was messing with photos didn’t realize how much they added over the years I was soooo lost so I appreciate the video

[@kimcarroll1129]

Thank you! I was a pro photographer for 19 years. Heading to Switzerland, Austria, Azores, NYC... for a month this summer. I don't want to carry around 20+ lbs on my back especially while hiking in the Alps. Just changed up all the settings in my phone and that's all I'm taking. Well, maybe my drone too... :) I know I'll always have my phone with me no matter what. Your video has been an amazing help! Although I had to pause and rewind a million times as you flew through the settings Yes, I'm old. LOL Huge help! Thank you for saving my back!

[@ChrisPieta]

Ah Kim! That makes me so happy to hear. I hope you have a wonderful trip. iPhone RAW + lightroom will be wonderful for you.

[@owdengodson2990]

You just earned yourself a subscriber, thanks for your generosity, Chris.

[@davew1584]

Just stumbled across this video for whatever reason I’ve no idea. But I’m glad I did! I made some slight adjustments using what you spoke about. On photos I had already taken and they look spot on! I didn’t even know about the RAW setting. Needless to say that’s now switched on! Thank you 👍🏻

[@besant360]

I really appreciate you taking the time to share such helpful advice. Thank you!

[@soufihasbi8236]

Hey Chris, I like your storyline and how you capture the audience. There are thousands of the same videos, but yours is the simplest and easy to grasp. Keep up the excellent work and I can't wait for advanced photography tips from you. Immediately subscribed to your channel! 🤣

[@ChrisPieta]

That means a lot! Thanks Soufi!

[@emiedsonjonjacinto4449]

Likewise!

[@jeffdork_ALPHAZ]

Thank you so much for the tips and the presets! ❤️

[@prashy89]

Thank you for this video, just upgraded my very basic skills with photography 💯

[@jeffoel]

oh my god! thank you so much for this. wondering how i can utilized my 14P cameras (this is my first pro iPhone 😅) and stumbled upon this video. will be practicing in the future. you're heaven sent man! 😊

[@AwkwardFreeSpirit]

Very informative. Thanks Chris!

[@quintessa_8367]

Love your explanations..Can't wait to try it😁

[@ayyotrav9293]

Your editing style helps with you being able to use a phone over your Sony. You fade your blacks a lot and not much contrast. So you’re not needing as much dynamic range. I LOVE my 14 Pro as a sidekick but it could never replace the photos I get on my Sony. Maybe someday!

[@ChrisPieta]

That's a fair point! The iPhone is nowhere near the sony in terms of dynamic range.

[@WildBillTurkey]

WOW!! THANK YOU, Chris! Two nights ago I was packing for an early morning drive to a photo-op car show (Luftgekült) when I decided to finally learn to make better use of the camera features on my phone. In this single lesson, my skills grew exponentially. The biggest shift by far was learning to expose for the lights and use Lightroom to bring back up some detail in the shadows. I'd heard of Lightroom, but your simple incorporation of it into this massively beneficial trick changed my photographs on that next day at the car show. Exotic antique cars under tents in a pretty outdoor setting? Expose for the attractive backgrounds and trust that there will be detail in the shadows under the tents that Lightroom can bring back as much or as little as I like. I say again: WOW!!

[@ChrisPieta]

This comment makes me so happy!

[@Bencehomola]

Amazing!! Thanks for these tips and for the free preset, love it!

Is it cocaine? 😂

[@achillez1654]

He cuts his blinking out… it helps with the watch time people will lose attention if he blinks to much😭

[@achillez1654]

Fr tho, who catches that😭

[@RichRobinson]

Great video, Chris. Exactly what I was looking for.
