I’m seriously super amazed that you shot this on the kit lens. Makes me know that I really need to learn my basics on how to capture good images regardless of what lens I’m using

Thank you so much!

I've been doing lightroom and Pshop for over 10 years, but they way you explaing what you are doing and WHY you do it is SO helpful. I'v loving your videos and found you because of a Pixel 7 Prop review, if you can believe it. Cheers!

[@katoman40]

Wow Julia this tutorial is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm an absolute beginner and until this moment have been more interested in landscape but now want to try portraits too. I've been trying to figure out LR and find some tutorials hard to get to grips with but you've explained it perfectly. Many thanks, Guy K

[@juliatrotti]

That’s awesome to hear, glad you found this helpful.

[@davidellis5141]

The Kit lens seems to be the 🔑 ! I will try it. Nice background in the portrait.

[@juliatrotti]

It's honestly a great lens! Would love to use it again :)

Hi! I love your Lightroom Tutorials, and I am new to Lightroom also. I would love to see some tips and tricks (what you can do with the brush, using the filters, how to use the healing and clone tool etc...) and also working with presets (how to edit a preset you've imported on several photos, maybe a portrait, then a family photo, then a pet shoot etc)

[@Whittmike2011]

Incredible difference! Thank you so much Julia!!

[@juliatrotti]

Glad you liked it!

[@barbosu1506]

Hi Julia! I use the kit lens for two months right now in my A7 (yeah, the first one) and I'm stunned of what this lens can do, offcourse the editing process brings more out of it, but i'm impress! Until i can afford an 85 or 35mm. xD

[@juliatrotti]

I was genuinely impressed when I used this kit lens! It's definitely capable of capturing some beautiful photos :D

[@tamarajankovic2827]

Your tutorials help me so much, I really enjoy learning from them. It would be great if you post more of them, maybe also with more detailed explanation of individual panels and differences between the ones that have similar effect, when and why to use each. Thank you!

[@yannylane]

Thanks for the free action!

[@ChadSterley]

Loved this. Thanks for sharing Julia! Trying to find my editing style without simply using someone else's preset. This was very helpful!

Nice portrait, although the skin retouching is too much IMO. Turns her into a doll, more than a human. Love the Lightroom work, however.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! Ah yeah about that, I'm currently moving and didn't have my wacom with me so I had to use my mouse haha :( I normally like to use the wacom tablet as I have more control over my mouse movements and also have the added pressure tool too which helps with more natural looking retouching!

[@tenzingyaltsen7123]

Ya I agree, there is something beautiful about catching a moment in time for what it is. Not sure about this fabricated version of reality where you delete every blemish and mole.

[@samf8887]

Some clients like that especially with the social media perfection culture we have. I think it depends on the style and what the client wants

[@stephforrester163]

So great! Would you consider a tutorial on your in-camera settings on the A7iii? I've recently jumped ship to Sony and I am struggling big time with the colour profile and tones. I don't think I've got it set up right. You seem to go between Canon and Sony so beautifully, it must be something I am doing wrong!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! I already have a video about how I have my A7III set up if you search for it on my channel :)

[@pianoman1973]

Thanks for the great tutorial ! Question if I may - I've purchased many of your presets and I noticed that in some of them you apply the same exact curve ( or almost exact :)) to all the color channels - Could you explain what's the difference between this and simply applying the same curve to the point curve ? I mean , if the color channels all have the same curve wouldn't the effect be simply adding contrast since all the colors are treated equally ? Thanks !

i been using canon for a long time i heard that sony are good cameras i should try the a7iii 🙂

[@juliatrotti]

I was in the same boat, Pentax was my first camera but then I moved on to Canon for many many years. When the A7III was announced I HAD to try it out, loved it heaps :D it's really fun trying out mirrorless if you've mostly only used DSLRs!

[@underworldheroes1]

Hi Julia, thank you so much for all of your time, hard work and effort, I find your videos very helpful. I have a slightly off subject question however it kind of relates to work in post production. Do you ever use active D lighting? Thanks.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much! I don't use active D lighting, I would like to try it out but I prefer having some bright highlights/dark shadows in my images as I feel it looks more natural compared to a perfectly balanced photo :)

[@alireza428]

hi..what is the lightroom version?

[@reykfoto]

Hey Julia thanks for your video. Question, would there be a difference using Camera Raw instead of LR for the same adjustments you did on this picture?

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! Nope, Camera Raw would do the same thing. I actually used to use Camera Raw when I first started and it took me a looooong time to get used to Lightroom when it first came out haha. I kept hearing so many amazing things about it so I really wanted to try it out and get into it. But I've grown to like that all the sliders are in one panel, where as in Camera Raw you have to click to open Basics, click to open Curves, click for HSL, etc etc. So for me it's a little faster editing in Lightroom.

[@dinagalall]

Since we are staying home can you please make a video about photo ideas at home?

I am also using Adobe Creative Cloud, I try to update my Lightroom a couple of weeks after a new update comes out (I like to wait in case there are any major bugs). I use Lightroom Classic, but there is also Lightroom CC - so you could be using that version and that's why it looks different.
