[@garethjones5068]

Thankyou so much for putting this video together, can’t wait to try it out

[@glyndewis]

More than welcome Gareth; hope it comes in useful 👍

[@isoawe1888]

Thanks for video. Excited to try this out. I see why it would work on those images, but do you do it with all portrait? Say, a young girl?

[@glyndewis]

Yeah it can work on all portraits for sure...I do use it 99.9% of the time. For some, like females / young girls, you just need to be a bit more sensitive with the settings and reduce them so that you get the impact but don't affect the skin too much...if that makes sense

[@hurleygreen927]

GREAT LIGHTROOM EDITING INFO! Question: Do you ever START your editing by hitting the AUTO TONE button? I have found this to be helpful...

[@glyndewis]

Sometimes I do yeah ... and I totally iagree it's very useful

[@KevinRusso]

This looks really nice on textured skin, do you have a process for women?

[@LHazle]

Glyn - This is AMAZING! So glad you did a LR version, so much more user friendly. I learned so much that I can use to make my images better. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see more from you. :D

Made my day! 😁 So glad you like it ... thanks so much for looking in 👍

[@philipvandiggelen1968]

I've been looking at your videos for quite some time. Its my first go to when I'm editing portraits. Thanks so much for all your good work. By the way, I also have your books. Worth every penny!

That’s so good to hear … thank you

[@laurentdoussot2400]

Bonsoir Glyn, Je m'exprime en français car je maîtrise mal l'anglais. Je tenais à vous féliciter pour votre travail, en tant que photographe mais également en tant que professeur. Je suis conquis par votre série sur les vétérans et j'ai même acheté votre cours "Timeless". Depuis que j'ai découvert votre chaine KZbin, je suis toutes vos vidéos pour tenter de m'en inspirer. Merci encore de rendre la pratique photo plus enrichissante et moins complexe, même pour un francophone comme moi ...

[@glyndewis]

Laurent, merci beaucoup d'avoir commenté. C'est super d'entendre que vous aimez les vidéos. Merci aussi pour les gentils mots sur le projet vétéran. Salutations Glyn

[@Herkulez1981]

So happy i found your page 3-4 months ago because your portraits are just my style and i learned alot just your 20/10 did alot for my print z . A little tip you should do to engage your audience even more is to have a video where you critique our portraits and what we could do to make them better. That would be both fun and learning i would def send in one

[@glyndewis]

Thank you so much Johan. Yeah sounds like a great idea re the critique...I'll definitely look at doing something on that at some point 👍

[@b991228]

What about highlight & shadow slider? Sometimes a little tweak with these can improve global contrast. Especially when working with ambient.

[@glyndewis]

Yeah definitely worth playing with them too mate 👍

[@TheSupermandrew]

This legitimately improved my workflow and results. Thank you. I just ordered your book.

[@glyndewis]

Very happy to read this, thank you

[@itaylorm]

This is so spectacular. Thank you for sharing. It is fascinating how Lightroom is making it less an less necessary to use Photoshop.

[@glyndewis]

Absolutely ... and with so much more to come 👍🏻

[@marcomark8]

You are such an excellent teacher. Thank you!!!!!

[@glyndewis]

Thank you so much for that

[@jacquimaysphotography8210]

Absolutely loving this technique! Recent;y subscribed after realising how much great content you have and how simply you explain it. I have a question though, would the 20/10 technique be suitable for more feminine portraits and/or babies & kids?

[@glyndewis]

Very happy to read this Jacqui ... thank you. As for thr 20/10 on feminine / babies etc I do use it BUT at lower settings ... so maybe 12 / 6 or so , if that makes sense. Thanks again

[@ericjuteau6584]

Thanks very good! One question Why duplicate the face after exposure? Why don’t you ad 20 on contraste texture and clarity on the fiesta mask ? Thanks Éric from Quebec

[@glyndewis]

Éric you're not wrong to ask as many others have in the comments section. There's no technical reason for this..it's simply down to a life of using Photoshop and being used to keeping things in layers 👍

[@titandrone7984]

Glyn.... Love the video. Would you not change this up on female subject? maybe skip the first 20 and do a 20, 10. Just a question as I know they would prefer less contrast most of the time.

[@glyndewis]

Thanks so much. Yeah re a female subject you could certainly do that. I wouldn't say to do it anyway but would try it out to see and just tweak the settings for that particular image. Nothing is 'set in stone' as it's very much dependant on the image and the look you're after. Hope that helps 👍

[@DunderheadedDoc]

Just came across this and learnt so much. I'm fairly new to editing pictures and using lightroom. So I have a question that may sound stupid to you and other experts. Why do you need to duplicate the 1st mask after you've increased the exposure? Why not do the contrast and other adjustments in the same mask? Wouldn't the end result be the same? It would be awesome if you could briefly explain this. I'll be checking out your other videos now. Thanks!

[@DunderheadedDoc]

Just saw your response to a similar question in the comments 😊

[@glyndewis]

Hi Vinay...No problem...glad you saw my earlier reply...I was just about to message you 😉

[@dogsmadefamous2951]

Love this 20/10. I wanted to let you know that I used it on my Dog Portraits and I thought it worked great. Earlier I posted this review and I guess I owe you an apology. I posted my IG thinking you might want to have a look to see how it looked... My bad.

[@glyndewis]

Didn't see it on Instagram ... sorry about that. Glad you like the technique 👍🏻

[@srivastavag7172]

Thanks for taking my question or doubt how to use in Lightroom 20, 10 rule. Glyn, something getting in my mind when we use double exposure technique mixing up this technique for editing like sharping final details or structures or little adjustment with luminous.... Will that be same or more to it. Any suggestions please

[@glyndewis]

More than welcome...really appreciate you watching the video. As for your question, yeah it could work but would definitely mean more to it. Worth trying though...always good to find new and different ways to do things 👍

[@qnetx]

Great technique for character faces but not one I would use on female subjects.They tend to prefer softer texture on skin unless the subject is young with already smooth skin.

[@glyndewis]

I do use this on female portraits and it works great; you just tweak the settings to taste. It doesn't 'un soften' the skin so no problem 👍

[@AndyMillerPhotoUK]

Too shallow DOF for me. I would have tried to have his ears in focus as well. But I see it is your style. Thanks for the description of how the "Texture" slider works. Not knowing this I avoided it.

[@glyndewis]

You’re welcome Andy. Cheers for looking in 👍🏻

[@nickeanderssonphoto3936]

Great stuff Glyn! I will try this out. What about sharpening steps? I often paint some added sharpness with the brush on the eyes. No need for that here or how do you do with sharpening?

[@glyndewis]

Hi Nicke. Thanks for the kind words. Re sharpening, when I use this technique I tend to sharpen only on output eg when printing

[@5m-art487]

I like it so very much.....;-) amazing and beautiful

[@glyndewis]

That's great to hear ... thank you

[@silvere36]

Why can't you place the different effects on the same mask (picture 1)?

[@glyndewis]

You can…if you want to 👍🏻

[@LaGrave171]

The effect in Lightroom is in my opinion a bit too much, but nonetheless the effect is great! I'd personally use a "15 - 10" effect😄 my style is a bit subtler

[@glyndewis]

Elias...that's exactly what this is about...try the settings and tweak them to your taste. However, when printed I'm really happy with how the 20/10 works on mine./ All about personal taste and the technique is there for you to experiment with. Cheers 👍

[@IanMcCausland]

Just curious why you need the separate layer for exposure and the “20 “ contrast couldn’t you do it all in one layer?

[@glyndewis]

I wouldn't do it on one layer Ian purely because of the control it gives having it on individual layers but also I wouldn't be able to apply the 2nd part (10) only to the eyes, nose and mouth because if I add a mask then it would then hide everything done in the 20...if that makes sense. Separate layers means I can also tweak it if need be depending on the face.

[@estebanrodriguez9680]

How did you white out the background in lightroom?

[@glyndewis]

Not sure what you mean there Esteban...do you mean how did I make the background grey?

[@FloatingOnAZephyr]

Is there a reason you don't just do the 20 adjustments on the initial exposure boost mask?

[@glyndewis]

No technical reason; just a life of using Photoshop and being used to using layers but yeah the 1st of the 20 adjustments could be done inside the exposure boost mask 👍

[@raybriggs4529]

Hi Glyn. I know you can down load the full package LR , Photoshop, ect. Watching how you use LR I am sure I would only need that, the only thing is, and I have never done it is. focus stacking for my land scape's. Can I only down load LR and do focus stacking with that?

[@glyndewis]

Hi Ray. Lightroom continually improves and there's more and more I do in it now that I only over used to do in Photoshop. Lightroom (Cloud) is certainly faster and the layout is cleaner than Classic. As for Focus Stacking, you can't do that solely in Lightroom at the moment; you do need to export the images as layers into Photoshop and then use Auto Blend Layers as it then aligns them and creates the masks.

[@raybriggs4529]

@@glyndewis Hi Thanks for very informative reply. Can you please tell me how much the whole package would be, or if I can just LR cloud. The portrait you are working on was he in the South Staffs regiment or North?

[@glyndewis]

Glad you like it

[@jonathanclarke5763]

what would really help is if you give us your camera settings and light settings and what lens you used because there is no in hell i could use just "lightroom" to reproduce that look.

[@glyndewis]

That's why I also showed how to do it in an earlier video. No point following my camera and light settings unless you're with me at the exact same time in the exact same location in the exact same light. A shallow depth of field was used on the initial portrait so a wide open aperture around f/2.0 but aside from that...it would all depend on where you were and the lighting around you.

[@jonathanclarke5763]

@@glyndewis I'm gonna have to try it out then because I don't think I've ever seen a lens that has a pinhole type focus that captures the eyes and nose perfectly while blurring everything else behind it. So how did ya do it?

[@IanInChengdu]

How would you do it in Affinity

[@glyndewis]

Very similar I would think as a lot of the technology in Affinity mirrors that of Photoshop

[@DimiAngelov]

Hi,can i ask you where is your focus point on the Veteran face ? Thanks ,great video!

[@glyndewis]

Sure thing Dimi. Focus point is in the centre of the eye. Because this one was taken with a very shallow depth of field I had to use manual focus and focus peaking. Hope that helps.

The biggest difference between your portraits and others/trending styles is your f-stop is f2.0. Personally, I love lowering my f-stop. My first beauty shoot, all the images needed to look like 1800s western photography. So I shot at f1.8 on my 85mm and added paper textures, scratches, along with a sepia filter. The final product was so believable!

Hi Glyn....just a little feedback, I've been using this mask but for female faces I've found that mostly 10/6 works better, 20/10 is little too harsh.....killer technique though, cheers :)

[@glyndewis]

Yeah I've answered this a few times in the comments mate; 20/10 is a guide for settings I like to use as in this case on male portraits, but for females I tend to tone it down...there are no set numbers, but rather what works best. The effect comes from using 2 layers and masking...the numbers are down to the individual 👍

Very helpful video, Glynn. I shoot mainly dogs and love a shallow DoF. This is a great technique for the extra bit.

[@glyndewis]

[@sallyanderson8540]

great video. However, why not just combine the first two steps and increase exposure and add the contrast, texture and clarity in one mask rather than duplicate a mask?

Great question Sally...I think the idea of doing it separately is from years of using Photoshop and layers but yeah...all on one as you say would work perfect 👍

That's great to hear; thanks Andy 👍

[@jonathansilverman298]

Hi Glyn, thank you so much for this. Really useful. My problem is I don't understand the theory! Am I being thick, but if you want to make the closer areas lighter and the further away areas darker, why use contrast? I would have thought you would use increased highlight or exposure on the near areas of the face. Why contrast? I went back to your original video on this technique in photoshop and I still don't quite get it! Please help!

[@glyndewis]

Jonathan…If you just brighten an area it will become flat with no depth and dimension. The idea here is to make it feel as though it is coming forward so this is why contrast is used to deepen the darker areas in addition to brightening other areas but do so in a controlled way. It especially works a treat when printed. I’ve tried other methods over the years but the layers of contrast gives the best result in my opinion. It was really evident how well it works when folks saw the large prints at the exhibition.

[@wayneberesford6981]

Great tutorial Glyn, just a question could this technique be use on a family portrait, such as My wife and I and our 4 children to make it pop. I guess we could mask out all the faces and do this technique 20 / 10, do you reckon it would work. Cheers Wayne

[@glyndewis]

Absolutely it could Wayne. All I would say is just do the 20 part only and reduce the amount if you're doing this on full length shots. The 20/10 settings are great for close up head shots; anything further back I would just reduce it as the smaller the area, the less the amounts should be. Hope that helps 👍

Glyn, Thank you for sharing your face enhancing technique with and without an additional light source. I use Capture One and I am sure your 20,20,20, and 10 adjustments will work for me. Second Comment: Glyn, I tried your 20/10 method on a group shot of 15 college students. I studied the before and after photos side-by-side on a full screen display and enlarged. As I scrolled past each face there is a slight but noticeable sharpness, definition, and brightness. My original was lacking and your 20/10 version is the winner. The light source was church lighting but not strong. My camera is a Nikon Z II with a 24-70 mm lens shot at F10 and low ISO. Thank You, Father Dan

[@davidecomba5429]

Hello dear distant friend, I wanted to tell you that it`s a very nice system, I don`t have lightroom but I think it can also be done in capture one, or at least I hope so. When I didn`t have a f.1,4 portrait lens yet, to make the similar effect I used to make two masks: the first one more blurred and the second one closer to the central area of the face, less blurred. Anyway it`s nice and fast and can replace the two passes with USM20 and 10 zonal in photoshop.

Liking the sound of your previous technique Davide and yeah... this would work on CaptureOne for sure 👍 Keep well out there my friend
