How I EDIT my PHOTOS in Lightroom. The basics...

[@derontompke]

The casual "You can unsubscribe straight away" is such an easy reminder on why this is easily my favourite photography channel. So genuine and non-robotic real person. Congrats on the wedding!

[@alebo0]

Right?! James is hilarious and incredibly talented, such a joy watching his videos.

[@AzzurroWolf]

Congrats on the wedding mate! Hope you recovered in time and I hope you've hired a decent photographer 😝

[@poshlady43]

Lol....wow

[@lagerbaer]

@@poshlady43 Why wow? Like, you could be the best photographer in the world and you still wouldn't shoot your own fricken wedding.

Congratulations to you both - hope you had a great day and continue to have a very happy life together.

[@FedorDuhrmann]

Congratulations on the wedding! Been lurking for a while now, about time to break out some words! I really appreciate your wok, wording and integrity! Love how honest and clear you make your videos! Hope you take some time for rest now!

[@judywright2051]

Congrats to both of you! Definitely would love to see more of these videos - I know how to edit, but I'm very much interested in why you made the editing decisions you have. Also, it would be helpful for you to explain a little of what the preset used is tweaking for those of us who use a different editing software and therefore can't try your preset.

[@kinesis28]

Now I've finally got to grips with some of the basics of Photoshop and Lightroom, it's really interesting watching a video like this and hearing a "walk through" of the decisions you make and why. Thanks for the upload!

[@Wildwillow76]

Congratulations James and Emily. All the very best for the future. Hope you had an amazing day!

[@sicilia71]

Congratulations to you & your wife. Hope you're feeling better. Looking forward to your next video

[@charlottedavies9379]

Congrats James and Emily, I hope you had a wonderful day! Enjoyed the video, more like this would be great.

[@dmlillian3315]

I use Capture One but still found this very useful. Thanks! Blessings to you & your wife! Congratulations!!!!

[@paulosullivan7197]

Nice one Jimmy, I didn't realise how sick you were before the big day - which was bloody amazing!!

[@antoinealza1941]

Well if it’s already done, welcome to the club and congrats! When it comes to more videos like this I’m all for it. You called it, not enough videos that explains why the changes. Keep up the good work.

[@jerryeisner1]

Great Video! From another video of yours I noticed that Emily is a great sport who is willing to accompany you when and if the situation allows. Even though I'm seeing "this" video for the first time in 2022, I felt a sense of joy when you mentioned you were getting married to Emily in two days! I hope this is not too confusing in my timing. I"m a big fan of yours. Thanks for being there!

[@kerryanderson3228]

Congratulations to you and Emily! All the best, hope you both had an amazing day! 😍

Belated congrats Emily & James!

[@PaulBawby]

Congratulations on your wedding, I hope everything went well and that you had a splendid time. Wishing you and Emily the very best! Very much enjoyed this video on the "why" behind the edits.

[@blekdregen]

Giving free presets and iterating you have to sign up for the email list, which you can cancel at any time. You’re one of a kind, been a supporter for a while and I’ll continue to be :)

[@seanorphoto]

That first image is probably my favourite photo ever of yours. It’s just stunning.

[@jonny_leach]

Congratulations - you guys seem (from the VTs) a great couple. Hope you have a smashing day!

[@Tubenstein]

Congratulations on the wedding! And thanks for this brillaint video you brought to us! Get well there !

[@martinhommel9967]

Congratulations to the happy couple. Interesting video.

[@giselesmith7795]

Congratulations to Emily and you! Hope you are fully recovered and won't need PS to fix "sickly" skin tones on your wedding photos. My husband had been sick and he looks grey in all of ours.....

[@ChristianPerello]

Congratulations on your wedding! I love your videos. And have been following you for a while. Enjoy your special day!!

[@antonoat]

Massive congrats to you and your good lady, hope life brings you everything you both wish for. Great video as always. Cheers.

[@TroyHomenchuk]

first of all, massive congratulations, you two! second of all, great video as always.

[@kbmats]

I started watching since you guys were doing vlogs xD Congratulations on your marriage and have an amazing wedding!

[@gsansoucie]

I did find this interesting. It is very interesting that you seem to like to downplay the sky, it will take a little bit to process, I’ve always tended to shoot and post my skies to pop more. I really like that you explain why here, I honestly never thought about this.

[@henkpeter1755]

Congratulations to you and Emily, I hope you recovered and had a nice day.

[@muriloquesada]

Congrats on the wedding and best wishes Mr & Mrs Popsys.

[@MSmith-Photography]

I think this type of video is useful because it helps reinforce what I should look for and what I should consider in my editing.

[@deanpettitt121]

Well done on the big day, hope you both have a brilliant time!

[@wojtekw6040]

Have an amazing and romantic wedding ! Wishing You both a lifetime of joy and love together !

[@caroloneill6088]

Congratulations to you both!! 🤩 Cant wait to see some wedding snaps!! Thanks for all the entertaining and useful videos. You're a legend 👍

[@lylestavast7652]

Looking at all that LR history - the V9 Classic LR you can now clear all the steps above some selected step by right-click and choosing to blow them away. Really handy if you're messing around with various options and don't want to leave around a ton of snapshots for the purpose.

[@TCizauskas]

Congratulations, Emily and James!

[@veedubistjlbx3446]

Congrats on the wedding!! I really enjoy ur silly twists and thoughts on things! Also, I'm glad you don't try to make the videos so dang perfect... it makes them more interesting and even funny!! 👍

[@evrkm]

I hope you felt better for the wedding day.... Congrats to you and Emily (I hope she said yes - your teaser was great about that). And thank you for this very educational video

[@toms2145]

Lol ❤️ I hope she didn’t change her mind. I very much appreciate this kind of video. Addressing the why instead of the how. Very awesome, James. Also, congratulations on making the marriage move. ✌️ I would very much watch another video like this, btw.

[@charliethebubbles]

Congratulations on your wedding, hope all goes well. Excellent video.

[@geraldzammit5815]

You should always do your videos when you are sick, it is as hilarious as informative. Thanks James, hope you had a great wedding and hope you will share some pics!

[@gerekappo]

It really was a good video, at least for me! Thanks for sharing, get well and happy for you guys!

[@darrenleigh201]

Just started following you/your channel. Love your sense of humor! Thanks for sharing👍

[@jennysimpson9422]

Congratulations on your wedding, and thanks for the free presets. I also work from home and the great thing about that is I can sneak out with my camera whenever I want from the day job and as long as I have my work phone with me then nobody knows

Congratulations on the nuptuals James & Emily, Eternal hapiness to the both of you!

Congratulations on the wedding! Hope you both had a great day :-)

[@Tarun.s.b]

Congratulations and that first photo is amazing!

[@matssandquist9258]

After following your vlogs for a while now and also buying your book I would like to say that your coloring is very "Popsys". I would think I would recognize your photos just by that. Btw congrats on the wedding.

[@owenminter7341]

Very insightful James, great video as ever! Congratulations and I hope the wedding went well!

[@zkw100]

Congratulations! I hope it all went wonderfully and had some great balloons 🎈 🎈

[@erikyoung2193]

Congrats on getting married! As a side note, the video was great. The photo with Tom’s legs extended is my favorite. I see hundreds of that shot, but nothing as clean and simple. Thanks for sharing how you edited it 🙏

[@tjsinva]

Nice discussion. Cheers to you and Emily! Rock on!

[@johnfuqua1143]

[@ellyelzinga01]

I hope you had a great wedding and that you were feeling good again! Congrats to the both of you!🎈🎈🎈 Thanks for making the video even though you weren't feeling well, I always find it very interesting to see how other people edit their images, it's very helpful. Liked it very much that you explained why you made certain changes rather than only telling us how to make them!

[@stevemozzie6497]

Look after each other. There will be highs and lows. Work through them and enjoy life to the full.

[@timpotts2804]

It was very useful! More please.....editing is where I need the most advice. Hope the wedding went well 👍🏻

[@kkaramath7104]

Congratulations James, good luck Emily.

[@koreybartos]

I'm with you on the sky replacement. Especially if you're literally replacing it with the same sky, you don't really get any weirdness or anything. I dig it.

[@sander5086]

Congratulations James & Emily !!!! If she ran away, you can always copy here in the wedding pictures😉

[@marianbalas]

Nice video James. I really appreciate that you took the time to make an "how you edit images" video and especially the why behind it. Congrats on the marriage, if "she" didn’t change her mind :)

[@Relyse]

Congratulations James and Emily. Hope you had an amazing wedding!

[@MikeRamsay]

Congrats and best wishes for the wedding. I had "food poisoning" just before my first. It must have been something I ate on the stag night...

[@divejumpshooter6947]

Very belated congrats- I love the info you give- I have been shooting as an amateur for many years and on occasion I like to check in on the more basic things and get reacquainted- Now I have switched from D 850/750 to Nikon Z7II and figured good time to recalibrate. Honestly- I usually lose steam fairly quickly because most channels are either hey everything is so amazing, so exciting, so chippy and also lets intro some controversy. Yours is more like a family member who did a video to help me do something better. Not sure if that is a great description, but you are really very good- currently checking out your editing stuff because I am shamefully weak in that area and need to get better. I have lost many almost great photos because I didn't know how to fix. If you have a Patreon thing, I'd happily do that. If you had the desire but no funding to take it to the get paid level, I'd happily invest in helping you do that- Humble brag I work in tech as an exec and have a bit of money and invest in things I believe in. That helps me get more money. :)

[@EminenceFrontX5]

Great work. thank you for taking time to let us all in on your process. RockOn!

[@robertoamezcua7624]

Hi David! Loved the video, great to always see into others creative workflows, hope you do more, I learned some new techniques. Now to the important content ;) CONGRATULATIONS on your Nuptials, now at the time of this message you should be hitched, as we say. I'm very happy for you both! Now you know that with wedding Emily gets a promotion in her title from the Boss to CEO, just want to make you aware. Best wishes to you both. Oh and say Hi to Tom x).

[@34Media]

wedding tip have a big feed for lunch before it starts mate, I've had 2 weddings and struggled to eat, too busy talking to everyone ! you'll thank me at 2 in morning when your starving ! Congrats and good luck don't faint and cheers for tips.

[@tomasmikeska]

this is an excellent video, I really like your style :) do you plan more of post-processing tips videos, please?

[@mattcom2]

Marvelous! More, please.

[@benstanfill363]

I try to keep my images as original as possible. I usually add a little clarity, dehaze, and contrast, and then I'm usually done.

[@davidzfr]

Just bumped into this video on youtube suggestions. I'm glad I did. Very useful tips and tricks. Totally subscribed (consider it a wedding gift :P )

[@Thompa74]

Congrats to the wedding! 🍾

Literally subscribed due to the “you can unsubscribe right away” comment! That and of corse all the content but that was top tier comedy!

Congrats mate!

[@kerry5586]

I have visions of you doing your own wedding photography and photoshopping yourself into all the images.

[@altheliterate]

I've been married for more than half my life now. It's been an adventure, sometimes good, sometimes bad, BUT I wake up every day thankful for my friend, my partner, my co-conspirator. I wish you the best in your life. It's well worth it.

[@Dan-kb2oz]

All the best for the big day, which has probably already been, ha. Not had chance to try out the Hi-Res Mode yet but speaking of having to use a tripod/no motiving subjects, have you seen there's going to be a Hi-Res 2 Mode optimised for moving subjects in the 19/11/19 firmware update? Probably still need a tripod but should be an improvement :) Cheers James!

[@SethPay]

Congrats man! Suppose by now you’re hitched!

[@mprichard7]

Watching your video on photo editing what would you recommend a beginner photography do for a laptop and editing hardware and the like . I enjoy your videos and your take would be appreciated regards

[@Harlequin565]

Congratulations on your wedding. Hope it all goes/went smoothly. Hope you get to take some time off too.
