I always thought LR's local-adjustment Graduated Filter worked like a screw-on glass graduated ND filter over the lens. No less but no more. Now I see I was wrong! I had no idea LR's Graduated Filter was this customizable, powerful, even better than a glass filter, when tweaked to the needs of the image. Anthony, your free KZbin teaching videos are as good as or better than any pay teaching videos (e.g. CreativeLive or Lynda) out there. Thank you for helping us all do better.

[@gharrop1]

Just when you think you have mastered part of Lightroom classic...Mr Morganti opens your mind to yet further simple options that can have profound time saving effect!! Many thanks....as always!

[@carlosdias1940]

Hi Anthony! Noticed a message from Phlearn, that their viewers should view this channel! Right on!!! On my learning curve over LR and PS am amazed by its power. Loved you're clear explanations. It sure gives a sense of relief because the subjects that you address will be in future for me, the chance of making it happen! Cheers

[@lefturn99]

Longtime LR user (had RawShooter and was a v1 beta tester) but I still learn something when I watch your videos. Didn't know about the fade option. Thanks!

[@grantosborne3062]

Great explanation of the workings of this filter in LR. Same rules apply to ALL the local adjustment filters - brilliant.

[@richbottarini86]

One of your best video’s. The pace was perfect, the order of presentation was perfect a d the content comprehensive. Happy Holidays

[@grahamegannon9708]

Thanks for those tips with graduated filters Anthony. Great video again.

[@flightscapeaviationphoto]

THIS IS AWESOME 👏. Had no idea this level of control was possible.

[@marleneschonbrun2070]

I always learn something from you, Anthony. This video, I learned a lot. Happy Holidays.

[@rj934]

Another good and informative video. I subscribe to a list of KZbin Contributors that deal with Lr and Ps but I have learned more from your videos than all the others. You seem to be able to address the real life Lr uses that those of us who edit frequently, or daily in my case, will find interesting and valuable. Thanks!

[@Bloggerky]

I use graduated filters constantly; lots of new insights from this. Thanks and Happy New Year.

[@rj934]

You are making me a fan of the graduated filter.

[@giotto4321]

That's some really useful tips there, thanks very much. The Range Mask function would have helped me a lot only a couple of hours ago, rather than using the Erase Brush to in the grad. filter as I did!

[@longboardfella5306]

Thanks Anthony I've learned so much from you this year. Best wishes from Australia to you and your family

[@Lykzabet]

I 2nd that 👍🇦🇺

[@niftytwo]

Great tutorial and information which is very helpful to me. Thank you Anthony. Stay safe.

[@davidblack2632]

Great tips. Happy Holidays! Stay Safe and Healthy!

[@stevethompson8154]

Thank YOU Anthony. I have been using grad filters but learned a few more powerful tips to work even more efficiently.

[@kevinmccracken230]

Thank you! This was quite useful. Never realized some of these great features.

[@meredithpottery]

Wow! Thank you. So many helpful options to try.

[@prf4429]

Another tip is to create a graduate filter just outside the frame and rotate the filter. Be sure that the filter bounderies are not on the photo. You have than fully control over the whole picture. Now you can do a quick dodge and burn with the range mask set to luminosity. First do the dodge part. Create another filter (or copy the previous) for the burn part. Just go to the other side with the slider.

[@svetlanagrobman3476]

You make the best detailed videos! Thank you and Happy New Year!

[@anthonydobbie4133]

I've been subscribed to your channel for many years now and I am still amazed by what I don't know about LR - great tutorial - have a Merry Xmas to you and your family and I look forward to seeing what's coming in 2021- Stay Safe always

[@danielvoulkos8274]

Thanks professor A. Excellent explanation.

[@keithpinn152]

Hi Anthony: Thank you so much for creating and sharing this video. I have gained so much knowledge on how to use the Graduated Filter. Cheers, Keith (Canada)

[@UlliMueller]

You're a wonderful teacher, thank you!

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Hi didn’t know about the left-right sliders. Thanks!

[@mikemitchem4846]

Thanks. There were a few tidbits in there I didn't know. Merry Christmas!

[@pumamycat]

Thanks again Anthony, another very helpful video. Happy Christmas to you!!

[@BobG-eh5fc]

Thanks you for another great refresher tutorial!!

[@dannyxuan2008]

Wow, Fantastic lesson

[@randybocksnick3750]

ANTHONY-- Very helpful - learned a few tidbits and Merry Christmas, Anthony and your family! Randy B.(Montana)

[@shashiekunthikumar7980]

Brilliant tutorial

[@cmillerx41]

This was super helpful. Thank you!

[@DaveWhiteman]

Great video of stuff I never explored. Thanks!

[@mehmet5206]

Good tips Anthony..cheers.

[@Angel31416]

Gràcies!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Thank you Ángel!

[@ruiflores7672]

Thx a lot for the hints. Merry Xmas!

[@srcull]

Hi Anthony, excellent video. When you used the range mask and colour to change the sky only, could that have been achieved without the graduated filter?

[@eliasbrito788]

awesome, have a nice christmas

[@rydabyk]

Wow, I totally forgot some of that Thanks! Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@EduardLopezArcos]

Very useful! Many thanks!

[@Eigil_Skovgaard]

The copy short cut key I didn't know. Thanks.

[@christophergrove4876]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@jrchevy2500]

I appreciate this. Thank you.

[@mobo1676]

Many thanks for your great video

[@JohnMacLeanPhotography]

11:22 Is there a way to toggle the pins without physically moving them? That's always been a dislike of mine. Thanks!

[@Japhet.B]

Thanks for sharing My graduated filter bar isn’t showing. How do I get it ? I have recently download Lrc but isn’t showing

[@richardlewis9868]

thanks for sharing

[@19Photographer76]

When you painted the 'cliffs', the area you didn't paint developed a halo over the trees, which was surprising??

[@icogicog8287]

Very cool. I definitely learned a couple of tricks I did not know. Happy Holidays!

[@paulmoadibe9321]

hacking ? really ? that was a cheap click bate......
