I thought I knew Lightroom okay, but your tutorials make me 10 times as smart. I LOVE all the little extra details with the keyboard shortcuts and so on. I'll be watching this again and again along with so many other of yours. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@Jorge_Rodriguez83]

Great tutorial Unmesh! It is also fantastic that you explain what each option in Lightroom is used for and their effect. I find that I always learn something from your tutorials.

[@teubma]

Best in depth tuto about lightroom i have found so far!!

[@Budfrog23]

Without doubt one of the very best LR tutorials available - thanks and well done on your style of presentation which is so easy to follow

[@davidteague1854]

Best Lightroom instruction I have seen, can't wait to view more

[@GowithKelly]

I could seriously watch your videos all day

[@Pierraxl]

Why is this video the best i've seen on your channel for the last 4 years !

[@williamshapingart9030]

This guy always blows me away! So many tips and hidden features I had no idea of!

[@hammadali971]

I am beginner in editing but i have learnt a lot about editing and tools through this video and the guy is actually enjoying his work the best content great channel and a lovely teacher.

[@bobw222]

I learned more about working in lightroom by watching this video carefully than I have in watching many hours of videos by others. You not only show the tool, but explain when and why to use it. Excellent video.

[@mista589]

The world needs more people like this guy, just rang the bell, thank you!

[@josephmuriithi7129]

The sound is so crisp! I also admire the way you ask the questions and answer them right away. Fantastic job

[@austinshearwood5595]

I love that you make a point of saying “there is no right way, there is no wrong way.” Because at the end of the day, editing photos is an artistic outlet that every individual handles slightly differently.

[@LtRyanPYT]

'You are the artist.' I'm not sure why that hit so hard! Thank you for reinforcing the fact that what we do is ART, and each artist 'paints' differently. It's hard to pioneer in this day and age, especially with the seeds planted by most nowadays due to social media and ease of access. Loved that comment.

[@gwhitt555]

Of all the vids I've watched on this subject, you are easily understandable. Fast, yet articulate. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent.

[@wallshider]

The best tutorial you will ever find in KZbin. Always explains the small details and information you need. Thank you bro!!!

[@clintonhawkes7508]

Greetings from Egypt , Dude , i've been Video and photography as a pro for 4 years , and been playing with Photoshop for 14 years on and off and recently lightroom as well , and i'm still learning from almost every video you make , thank you very much for knowledge sharing ,really appreciated , keep up the good work :)

[@PiXimperfect]

You're so experienced. Coming from you, it means a lot. Thank you so much Charief for watching the videos! I am very happy to hear that.

[@johnx9318]

Thanks for the piece about personal artistry. Well said. Another gem.

[@russellschundler6559]

Nice, helpful video. I very much agree with you that the first step is to think through what you want as your end result ... then use the tools to move to that end. It is an artistic expression. At one time, I was jealous of the freedom a artist/painter had. No more. We have such wonderful and powerful tools!

[@samchartrand8226]

Incredibly well explained. You are a damn good teacher.

[@jpdj2715]

Dear Mr. Unmesh, sir, photography is an art. I agree to a point, in that each form of art has its technical details that we need to master before we can be a master in that art. As a painter it helps to understand different brushes, pigments or dyes and binders that turn pigments into paint, or ink or pastels or watercolors. The approach to exposure and what relates to that seems like there is a randomness associated. The order does not matter, you imply. As I worked more than 45 years with manual camera settings, I have now opened up to "expose for the highlights". And Lightroom opens my images as if they are underexposed. This is expected, by the way, I'm not complaining. The camera has given me several f-stops with minimal numbers of associated pixels (almost no height in the histogram). And I have lost no highlight details. Now I can choose what range of highlights I still want to have details and what not. This is done with the "white point" that I can lower. And here we get to the point of "sequence" as an efficiency subject. Adjustments to anything related to exposure are made by Lightroom relative to black point and white point. Capture One (C1 - v 20) does not do it like that and that is totally annoying to me. In LR, make exposure and color adjustments and next change the white point and you have to start all over again. In C1, changing black and white points is not fixed can drives me nuts. Morale: in LR adjust white and black points first. Now you have defined to Lightroom what, in your raw image, should be black [0,0,0] and white [255,255,255] and note that anything that used to be whiter than your new white point will be equally white from here on (vice versa for black). C1 keeps shifting that, when you change exposure details. (in my text, "exposure" relates to the Basic, Tone Curve, HSL/Color, Color Grading, Detail, Effects and Calibration panels - these all relate to each other.) If your LR histogram indicates you can rise the black point and/or lower the white point, start there, or you may be running in infinite loops. In general, there is no single right way, true. Except exceptions - but these do not refute the general rule.

You seem like a very nice person. For years I was told to adjust the Whites and Blacks as you explained. I finally realized that wasn't the way to do it for ME (NOT others). With the exception of white and black clipping, you do a very nice job.
