I know you don't do these sorts of tutorials all that often, but I've got to say, this one is exceptional! You've explained each process such that someone who has never used one of them, like me for some of the more sophisticated color and masking tools, can easily follow and try each technique out. Plus, you start with the basics at the beginning so that I will be able to forward this video to anyone looking to learn RAW editing, even a rank beginner. Mostly, this one really is a good one for me, personally! Thank you! You probably don't have the time, but a beginner's class in video editing with Resolve (or a full-on paid for class on your website or on Moment) would be excellent given how clear and easy to understand your explanations are. Great video!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you, Bob! I usually refrain from making these types of videos because I feel as though I'm not the best at articulating these subjects, but it's good to hear you find them useful! I'll definitely keep the Resolve video in mind for the future. Cheers!

Bro I swear the algorithm absolutely BURIED you. I was 120% percent subscribed to you and used to watch all of your videos like ~a year and a half to two years ago, but haven't been recommended anything from you since. Then I hear someone name drop you in a video, so I searched you up and surprise, surprise; I'm unsubscribed. That's beyond annoying. Awesome to see you're still making content though, deffo resubbed and turned on notifications so hopefully KZbin won't ghost you this time.

[@BraeHunziker]

Yeah that's unfortunate to hear haha. Appreciate ya coming back to the channel. Not going to deter my interest in making videos and taking photos :)

[@sixeightphotos]

This was great. Loved the layer stair step approach. Made it super simple to understand. Thanks a bunch.

[@BraeHunziker]

Great to hear. Thanks for the feedback!

[@facundozalazar]

Thanks so much! I have basic knowledge of Lightroom but with this tutorial I can improve a lot my film scans.

[@BraeHunziker]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching :)

[@iainlaurence]

Great editing strategy! learned a few new things about Lightroom.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks for watching sir!

[@jojoachim92]

Love the parachute shot! Mind me asking what camera settings you had to get this exposure while shooting into the sun, if you remember, roughly?

[@BraeHunziker]

I believe it was somewhere around f/8 and 1/125 or 1/250th!

[@willinirschl]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you! 🚀

[@MichaWha]

Well, I learned a lot, thank you very much for sharing! Can't wait to try some of that on my next photo editing !

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks dude! Glad you found it useful

[@sanebanana]

[@BraeHunziker]

Sheesh that parachute photo is such a killer shot man.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you dude!

[@tsmithh]

Great video Brae. These tips are awesome

[@BraeHunziker]

Glad you found the vid useful!

[@thedarkslide]

Very well done and instructive.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@volkanbadem6489]

your video-editing is very nice

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you!

[@pmtsjay]

When getting your film scanned at the lab, do you ask them to do or don't adjust the photos in the scanner software, like cyan, magent, density, etc.? Cause your going to edit yhe photos anyway? And also I'm guessing you get 16bit tiff digtial files?

[@BraeHunziker]

Yeah I get the TIFF files. I don't ask for anything specific. I just let them do their thing. I have always found that they provide a reasonably neutral image with not too much contrast or saturation. It's a good baseline to start with in Lightroom. I scan a lot of my images myself now as well on my home setup, which I have been really enjoying.

[@matteoposi9583]

I actually enjoyed some crookedness of your photos

[@hit.the_north]

Lookin forward to this. 😎👌

[@BraeHunziker]

🙏🏼

these photos look so good! even before your ajustments/corrections. Are you still DSLR scanning your negatives?

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks! All of these were lab scans, but recently I have been home scanning the majority of my work. I plan to make another video about home scanning soon.

[@metalfingersfilm]

great video, homie!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks dude 🤘🏻

[@PhilKnall]

Nice to see someone include the more "invasive" tools like straightening. I'm sure some of the purists won't like it, but the results speak for themselves.

[@BraeHunziker]

Yeah I’ve never understood the argument against straightening your images haha. Keeps the essence of the photo the same and makes it much more pleasant to view in my opinion.

[@AtanasSimonchev-oj6rk]

Hey there, what film camera did you use to capture these?

[@BraeHunziker]

Pentax 67, Mamiya 7ii, Bronica SQ

[@steveneate]

What version of Lightroom were you using in this video? Some features and UI I don't recognize.

[@BraeHunziker]

Lightroom classic

[@-AtomsPhere-]

I really like pool photo 🤌🏽

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks!
