How To Edit A Bright and Airy Look Using Lightroom Classic

[@karlotarodriguez]

Great explanation but honestly the before was stunning!

[@perfectfutures]

Love the change and really appreciate you talking us through it all. I often find my photos too dark and contrasty by default and this looks like a great way to brighten them up without just relying of upping the exposure, which of course doesn’t bring all these subtle changes.

[@elenalibrich]

I'm now editing an almond blossom woman portrait and this helps a lot! Thank you

[@GlowieLowie]

Wow amazing

[@charlesmckenna6164]

What were your camera settings to begin with? Wondering if you were neutral metering setting for your exposure? Thanks for the directions for the look. I’ll definitely be using it.

[@jeannettenicoleshipek4476]

depends on location, time, light quality... too many different variations

[@charlettevelez5724]

This was very helpful. Thank you!

[@emretoruk7067]

how can ı create more of this style?

[@phanstermonster2771]

Yes-I was disappointed that your image didn’t match the same editing style as your thumbnail.

[@TinTinWynn]

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's not even close. Wondering if he "borrowed" those thumbnail images of a stock photo website 😂

[@julesacot9848]

Agree

[@JEDINITE30]

Your enable profile corrections isn't turned on all the way. You have to also input the make and profile of the lens.

[@chhangte_anp]

He is editing the JPEG File

[@JEDINITE30]

@@chhangte_anp that doesn't matter. Raw and jpeg both work. What he is doing has zero effect.

[@SonicEchoVoid]

How would you apply bright and airy in a very green environment? Please make a video in this.

[@lionroots11]

What Kelvin you shoot in?

[@CarlAustinGregory]

White balance your image. Best to do it in-camera, but can be adjusted afterwards. Daylight is usually around 5600K, indoors is usually 4000K, and some very yellow/tungsten lights are 2800K-3200K. The lower the K number, the more yellow the light is. The higher the K number, the more blue. Daylight is white/blue, and indoor is often more yellow. For example, the lights in the building I work in are 4000K, and daylight coming in through the windows is 5600K.

Very Helpful

[@angelferreras1143]

Clear and specific explanation, I could understand everything even though I am not a english native speaker, thanks a lot!

[@PhotoFeaver]

Glad to hear that! Thanks you!

[@walo2k5]

perfect ... just what i needed... dont judme me people ... I shoot combat sports...its my first and hopefully last wedding 🤣🤣but if it aint ...thanks for the preset😆

[@richardkm5355]

The edited one didnt come out as the one in the thumbnail😢

[@heafyxiu]

control the Exposure.

[@CarlAustinGregory]

Your starting point matters. If your image is in a different places with color values, then the values he provided may not help. For example, if you were providing map directions for someone to get to your house who was 1 mile (or kilometer) away from you, those directions wouldn't be the same for someone who was 3 miles away and has to cross a bridge. This is why I don't like LUTs. It is best to just learn the principles that make a photo look nice (I'm also always learning how to do this!). This way, your starting point doesn't matter because we know the style we're going for, and know to use the tools we need to get there. It can be a pain in the butt, but stick with it!

[@rohantelake7905]

Which Lightroom version r u using?

[@mirandavandenberk786]

Thank you so much

[@KTravel_s]

I have a question, I see that your white balance in Lightroom is set to 0 and I assume you are showing with RAW. but for me what I export the image to Lightroom the values change to K and numbers instead to 0 how can I fix this

[@Adventure_Bross]

You can clearly see that his "RAW" picture is not RAW... RAW pictures dont have such colors..

[@AGag47]

People complaining about the result in the video not being the same as the thumbnail must be the same whiners from DPreview forums. Not all photos are the same and this was an approximate setting requiring some tweaking after after depending on your image so you can understand how to get there.

[@eltiburon1983]

for me it did not really work. does not fit my style of images

[@rommelreyes7616]

For a second there I thought you were Gavin Hoey

[@arturoavalos5939]

Helpful, but they don’t look like your thumb nail 😅

[@tonycook1532]

Excellent workflow, but I do wish you wouldn’t say “Go ahead” at every single step.

[@WizardOfCheese]

nah.

[@peter38891]

Sorry but too many go aheads spoil this one

[@o.z.photos5937]

I’m going to “go ahead” and laugh at this one lol.
