CLEAN Street Photography Editing Explained

[@MikeChudley]

Clarity is a big one, just knocking it down -10 or -20 makes everything much nicer on the eye. Great video Roman!

[@thegangstagentle]

Being a blind photographer I really love such videos. Yes, my assistant and my fellow photographers constantly provide me a fatback, but this video is gold!

[@sexysilversurfer]

I am curious but how does a blind man photograph or are you visually impaired i.e have some limited sight.

[@newvillagefilms]

I feel the same way with my craft as a deaf musician. Cheers! 🤙🏼

[@andrewsmicroscope]

This is legit one of the most helpful photo editing tutorials I’ve seen. I’m a beginner striving to get up to the next level (my next level, at least) and I have so many of these habits like moving all the sliders. I feel like you’re in my head and you know what mistakes I’m making lol.

[@santiagopoli_]

Great tips! One that I use is to go off and do something else and then come back to the photo after a while. When I spend a lot of time editing a photo, my brain gets used to the edit and everything looks right to me. But by switching tasks and then going back to the photo, I notice mistakes more easily.

[@geniej2378]

What an amazing video! I've been doing photography as a hobby for about 5 years now (only a couple of years taking raw photos) and I always feel like I don't know what I'm doing in Lightroom and tend to do one or two big adjustments and leave it there. Thank you for saying it's a legitimate way to edit! Very nice confidence boost, though I still have lots to learn.

[@arunvijayan6911]

The most important learning for me from the video has been that we don't need every slider of Lr for editing any image 💯💯💯

[@KevinRueck]

Love the clarity thing because I decided myself to do about -15 on my edits. Happy to hear you say that! Lol

[@thomasbubu5255]

Great video again, thank you for sharing your tips. For me the missing "boost" is increasing the blues saturation in the camera calibration menu 👐

[@aronblohm]

Thx for this video. I‘ll try to keep that in mind for my next edit. I really appreciate your videos and your style of photography. The fact that I am also shooting with Fujifilm is also a plus. Best regards from Hanover, Germany.

[@snapsbyfox]

Cheers!

[@helencogan2187]

Thanks Roman...I like that you mentioned the “whites”...often forgotten yet a great tool! EXCELLENT video!!!

[@teadossantos8986]

You are amazing! Your video’s are so useful and dynamic so pleasant to watch.

[@Snoozie09]

HUGE UPS!! I never realized how much power is in the whites slider. This is what I've been missing!!

[@RFranks]

Good tips! I think it's really important to think about where the light is coming from and to work with the light not against it. Expressive Photography on youtube has some really good videos on editing.

[@jephmosey222]

Yes, I like the blownout whites and don't like when I bring the detail back in, now I understand why, it's how we see to begin with. Thanks for this explanation and giving me confidence in my photo selection and edits. Now I just gotta work on my "Clarity" addiction. Thx!

[@robvisualstreetphotography]

9:20 - the biggest pro-tip is to avoid disturbing things in the frame and edges when you take the photo. It took me a long time to get the whole picture when I lifted the camera to my eyes.

[@alicksasylum]

As always your advice was right on point. Also like the fact that you used your ipad to show what you were actually doing. Keep up the good work.

[@olympus2OM]

Thank you for your tips. We have to check our habits in editing from time to time. Less is often more. To check our results twice makes us better in photography.

[@daniltaru]

Absolutely agree with all the points! I use all of them in my editing process :) Great tips.

[@ianhargreaves9226]

Very informative video great pace not over bearing clarity is the big one for me will try and stop it down. I tell myself I'm never to old to learn thank you for the information 🙏 #staysafe

[@neerajkumar-ts6om]

In 2021 High Clarity and HDR is less of a trend it's more of a mistake beginner photographers do. I use to do it too.

[@snapsbyfox]

haha I think we've all do it

[@carloscosta7618]

Another helpful video, I am grateful for all the things I am learning with you. Certainly using some of what I learned today and happy to see that some of your advice I am already using before this video.

[@jonatascd_]

you had me on the rant against hdr - nice tips!

[@nurnachman]

these tips are great and apply to music production too!

[@keithpearmine8773]

Nice vid. Roman, explained very well, and well worth watching

[@Jaywestend]

You're work is sweet!! Great tips to keep in mind! 🤙

[@snapsbyfox]

Cheers!

[@root9065]

Man this is solid good advice here. Thank you for this sir, it's why I stay subscribed to you, and now I turned on the bell too ;)

[@snapsbyfox]

Cheers!

[@snappic2867]

Great video - and great points. It suprised me how equal my worklflow is in the meanwhile to yours. It seems that I get better 😌 Your videos works to me .....Greetz from 🇩🇪

[@snapsbyfox]

Cheers!

[@AmeliaHeldt]

This was great! I also like lowering the clarity between -10 and 0

[@jeremysemanhyia8456]

I think we’re all guilty of cranking up the clarity. Awesome tips Roman!

[@jofo05]

I needed this so badly, thanks mate! I don’t remember, do you shoot with any exposure compensation on?

[@ttunali]

/many thanks again for the informative video Roman. Do you mean putting clarity to negative values increase the sharpness?

[@snapsbyfox]

Cheers, oh no, I meant negative clarity softens the image and makes it look less digital and simpler

[@MichielHeijmans]

Re-watched this one. So insightful. Thanks!

[@barrymedlin6587]

Excellent tips Roman!!👍🏻

[@virhilo]

Excellent points, Roman.

[@petertaranscorsese2900]

Some great advice - thanks. To avoid the trap of opposite edits, is there a logical sequence in which to use each slider i.e. contrast first or clarity first or cropping 1st etc. ?

[@snapsbyfox]

I actually made a video on this already.... it's on the ending card at the end of this one :)

[@petertaranscorsese2900]

@@snapsbyfox - Thanks - I missed that....but I’ve found it now and will watch it later...Cheers & keep up the good work - Peter.

[@MiksLatvis]

Thanks, great tips; I will try to keep these in mind on my next edit.

[@UlyssesAokiPhoto]

good video with accurate information Roman. 👍🏻

[@snapsbyfox]

🙏

[@johnking432]

How do you remove unwanted things from your images?...great video btw!!!

[@snapsbyfox]

Cheers! I use affinity photo but photoshop can do the same thing too. Lightroom has built in tool as well but not as good imo

[@CuDerRaGer]

Roman, do you have an import settings video for your fuji files? for lightroom

[@snapsbyfox]

Nope, I just import into iPad. No settings tbh

[@Enrique-the-photographer]

Very helpful (and well done). Thank you Roman.

[@snapsbyfox]

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers

Great tips again! Thanks!

Great tips. Thank you!

[@svetlanagrobman3476]

Very good video, Roman. I wonder if u follow Sean Tucker. He's videos are very different -- more somber and philosophical, but I think u may like them.

[@snapsbyfox]

Cheers, yeah I've seen them, they are decent

[@felixedwards2153]

Love it!

[@Beaver314]

Delfy helpful thx!

[@JayGrapherBKK]

I know clarity and maybe even more with Dehaze get a bad wrap that is over used (im still slowly tuning it down from the past - still enjoying dehaze to bring out the clouds in BnW contrast from time to time) but I feel people dont explain what makes it "bad' exactly and something you dont exactly explain too well except the idea for "new" photographer to consider that modern cameras are sharp enough and there's a Majic to an image when its just a little less sharp or dont need to be the sharpest. - a side reason people adapt vintage lens to their digital camera to get that "vintage" feel which maybe paralle to "not the sharpest" results. thank you for the other tips with editing - and showing more practically the things you were explaining.

[@snapsbyfox]

fair point there. The main reason is it’s personal preference. Many experienced photographers like sharp photos and use clarity and such features. The way i explained it is the only way I understand it and see it, being a non technical person. I am sure there are many more technical people here who can give you a more educated explanation

[@JayGrapherBKK]

@@snapsbyfox thank you for responding. to share a little more info - someone shared a photo asking for criticism and basically it was Dehazed to the max, and friendly people point that out though sadly the photographer claimed it was a "style" . If done consistently and with purpose then maybe and sadly its just to be left alone and some people are bound to like photos in that style as well. but 100% the suggestion you give and I agree is to try to reduce clarity and reduce sharpness.

[@martensoderblomsaarela5425]

great advice, thank you

[@mrwhisperTV]

brilliant video buddy

[@snapsbyfox]

🙏🙏🙏

[@NeonShores]

I hate that the first step that so many people do (and the auto button in LR) is reduce highlights and boost shadows. I very rarely raise shadows except to just very slightly bring out a small detail.

[@purushottampatel6969]

Hi Fox Roman enjoying your video

Excellent!

[@Xer0.Visual5]

What app is he Using in this Edit? It looks like it’s on the iPad.

[@snapsbyfox]

Lightroom on iPad

[@fassie79]

I'm not a big fan of editing RAW files. In my experience, using a well exposed jpeg and make some small tweaks is all that is needed if you know what you're doing. It's also much faster. Yes, RAW may be technically better, but nobody is going to care. Good photographs don't depend on massive editing skills, rather on the light and what it is that you're trying to say as a photographer.

[@AndrewPines]

great video!

[@robinchun1]

Great tips.. noted

[@DA-yd2ny]

Great tips, why not using lyers and masking in Photoshop?

I'm shit at editing! What i shoot is basically what I get 😫

[@snapsbyfox]

Just start slowly man. Maybe only mess around with exposure before touching colour

[@Ilegalmoveman]

@@snapsbyfox Thanks Roman I will give it a go mate.

I agree with everything but cloning. That's the biggest rabbit hole in my opinion. When you start changing the reality it's not photography anymore; especially not street photography. You're basically creating a place or a moment that didn't really exist (or polishing a tur.. as you mentioned yourself) . But that's just my opinion, it's a line I don't want to cross.

[@snapsbyfox]

I think the main thing is honesty. Cloning out is not an issue in photography. Lying about it is

[@simonwilliams2109]

I hate editing, thanks for your tips.
