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.

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!

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

[@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

Nothing beats the feeling of actually holding a camera, putting your eye up to the view finder & framing that shot! Phons have really come a long way tho and it is incredible what they are capable of now

[@derekmacdougall9347]

however there's entire generation and more to come that use the screen on the back over the view finder.

[@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!

[@KralikKurva]

Hi Chris, great video, thanks for that! But there is different preset on that link. I've downloaded it, launched it in lightroom and it's very dark and colorless. Do you still have that preset anywhere? Thank you!

[@itsflekx442]

Chris, the video, explanations and examples are amazing, but the think is that when I apply your free preset to any of my photos, the picture become automatically white and it is not like yours. May I be doing something wrong? If anyone else could help me…

[@ayuzefovich]

Thank you so much for such a comprehensive tutorial! I wish there were more creators like you, who would make content like this. ✨

[@chesterchestechestches]

Thank you for the tutorial, really helpful! Regarding the preset, what is the lighting conditions for a photo to apply this to? Seems like my photos are over exposed/whitewashed after the application. Thanks for sharing 👊

[@TheEfect10]

Same problem unfortunately

[@fixitright9709]

Apple needs to have manual control, it's easy to use even for a non-professional, the exposure slider is good but the adjustment slider should not turn off after its been activated it should be maintained on the screen, also Apple needs to put a standard raw option , ProRAW is most of the time over sharpened

[@davew1584]

[@Life_throught_vlogs]

1-go to camera settings :adjust the number of camera pixels +conservative action like grid and night mode.. 2-exposure :expose the highlights and make shadows more dark 3-compostion:use the grid (rule of thirds)+lower your angles

[@DTM-Books]

This video and channel is a great discovery for me, if only because it's great to find another Chicago artist who I can compare notes with. I've been working on my own photography since moving here from Minneapolis in 2017. I've been using iPhone cameras exclusively all this time, and currently have an iPhone Xr. A little on the old side, I know, and hardware upgrades are in my future plans, but it's all part of my punk-indie-rock style of keeping one's tools as simple as possible. I don't think there's anything bad about iPhone cameras at all. Indeed, I have learned how to pull off amazing tricks that I never thought possible on any other camera before, so I'm very thankful for the experience. These babies are like electric guitars that can sing in the right hands. I was curious to hear your thoughts on editing with the stock iPhone camera app as compared to Lightroom. I'm sure you have a wider set of tools to fine-tune edits, but don't discount what Apple's software can do. I also know a couple tricks that involve bouncing the photos from iPhone to desktop Mac and back again, but that's another discussion entirely. In any case, it's great to see how smartphone cameras can be used to take great photos. In the end, these are all merely tools, and the basic skills--composition, framing, lighting, subject matter--those reign supreme. It's like playing music. As long as you have a killer guitar riff, a catchy vocal hook & a solid rhythm section, you can make music with anything from $5000 gear to pots and pans. Again, great video, keep up the great work.

[@ChrisPieta]

Cheers from Chicago - the native editing app is great for simple edits. Lightroom for complexity.

[@kalvino67]

Great video Chris! 👍🏽 How do you manage the storage of the large photo files when shooting raw? Each raw photo from the standard lens on iPhone 14 pro =48mp =approx 80mb in file size. Do you upload photos to cloud and delete from your phone in order to manage storage on your phone? Do you have the 1TB version of phone to help with storage?

[@ctvediting]

Great work. Excellent tutorial. My only quibble is why not use the phone horizontally. Landscapes won't need resizing and your shots will fit on KZbin without blurry shower-door wings. I find my eye actually works with right and left peripheral vision and I guess most people's eyes are the same.

[@mikem2k6]

I guess the focus is to share the photos on platforms like Instagram or Vero, where pictures in portrait mode take more use of the format of the phone and thus covering more of the screen.

Hi! Was the choice of High Efficiency over Most Compatible based on storage space management alone? Or did you base that choice on another factor? I always choose the Most Compatible option when I'm setting up a new iPhone, even if the files end up being larger.

Helpful information, thank you! I may have done something wrong, but when downloading the presets photo from Dropbox link, the photo that populates in Light Room looks like the unedited dark RAW photo.

[@ChrisPieta]

When you first import it into lightroom mobile, it will look like that. Open it up again and the preset will be applied. Then you can just save the present and make your own from that.
